Lana De Rey Interviewed by Eoghan McDermott on London's XFM Radio in January 2012

 This is from this LDRU post:


McDermott now works for RTE in Ireland. In this Irish Independent interview he mentions the trauma of a random assault on 26th December 2016 which left him permanently without any sense of taste or smell. "The culprits were never found. 'They had the assault on CCTV, two attackers,' he says now, 'too far away to identify. They were picked up by a taxi man and one of the assailants had cut himself in the attack and bled on the taxi seat, so the gardai have his DNA, so if he gets arrested in the future for something else, they could get him then. The taxi dropped them off at an estate in Liffey Valley, but he doesn't know where they went from there." The interview was published a few days before Comic Relief 2020. Well, ... you know comedy, ... it refuses to let itself be boxed in and keeps bleeding out into the margins.

Here's the fragment of the interview where Lana talks about how "Video Games" was received at first:

I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ... Sounds like Edith (II) Rix has been online all the time, ...
