Not downvoting you, but you have hurt me 😅

Great Gig in the Sky has some of the most emotional singing I have heard in any music. And I'm someone who generally doesn't like when singers over-vocalize and show off in songs. It just seems stupid and pointless on run-of-the-mill songs, but in Dark Side of The Moon and this track especially it seems very appropriate to me, someone has literally died and ascended is how I understand the track.

Also this particular performance by Claire Torry is what sells it for me, I've heard live versions where it just doesn't sound so incredibly moving as the album track does.

Of course, it's all down to personal preference.

    5.2 on IMDB doesn't look that promising. Also sadly Stephen Chow for a decade or two hasn't been able (or tried) to replicate the heights of Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle or his earlier comedies. Sad, because he used to be full of ideas and laughs, and those got swapped for big budget bland stuff mostly.

    reTerminal Sticky is at least marketed as something you can stick on the fridge for groceries, notes, or just play around with any other DIY scenario you can think of. And it has some dev framewrok, for half the price. Not sure what Boox are offering, other than a smaller factor than their other e-readers, same-ish polish, but no Android or diy capability?
