In 1990, Tesla released Five Man Acoustical Jam, a live album featuring acoustic renditions of hits such as "Comin' Atcha Live", "Gettin' Better", "Modern Day Cowboy", and "Love Song". The album also featured a number of covers most notably a version of "Signs", a 1971 hit by the Five Man Electrical Band...

Tesla is an American rock band formed in Sacramento, California in late 1981 by bassist Brian Wheat and guitarist Frank Hannon.Lead vocalist Jeff Keith and drummer Troy Luccketta had joined them by 1984. They are the longest serving members and have appeared on all band's releases. Their current guitarist is Dave Rude, who replaced founding member Tommy Skeoch in 2006. Originally named City Kidd, the band changed from its glam-derived sound to a "rootsier" direction under a new name: Tesla. In 1996, the band disbanded, with members devoting themselves to solo projects. In 2000, they reformed, but Tommy Skeoch departed the band in 2006 and was replaced by Dave Rude. They have sold 14 million albums in the United States.

The band City Kidd was renamed Tesla during the recording of their first album, 1986's Mechanical Resonance...

Merle Ronald Haggard (April 6, 1937 – April 6, 2016) was an American country singer, songwriter, guitarist, and fiddler...

“Sixteen Tons,” is about the lives of miners in Kentucky, where Travis was born. The chorus comes from a letter his brother, John, wrote to him about the death of World War II journalist Ernie Pyle. John wrote, “it’s like working in the coal mines. You load sixteen tons and what do you get?

Apple iPhone Notifications...

 Just speaking about the iPhone...

Notifications seem to be a problem with Apple...

Notifications that we are referring are the ones associated with Chat/Texts w/e...they seem to break after the first reboot after the update...

sidenote: Apple iOS is at 14.3

We've seen three different ways notifications can be setup, and we're pretty sure that is all there is, but not the point of this blog post...

We have our notifications setup to receive the name of the sender, but not any of the text of their message...

Some have the name of the sender and a part of the text they are sending, and the third we've seen is just notification, and this is the one we want to talk about...

What we do is shut down our phone just before the update is done, that way the system has a chance to refresh itself...

We then restart, go to settings, General, then software update...

Now once you restart after the update your notifications will work properly for people that chose name only and not text on their chat balloon that notify's you that you have a text...

However, after a couple of days you won't be able to receive phone calls or texts and your Cellular signal will say "no signal"...

You won't be able to use your phone and you'll have to restart in order to fix the networking issue(s) and then your notifications will break and it will be "notification" until the next update, no matter if you restart or not...

We know they are aware of this problem because they fixed another issue because of this networking issue...

The notification used to show up for texts and phone calls which, if you slide to the right will dial the number, which can be bad, if it's one of those numbers that charge you exorbitant connect charges...

They fixed that, but they haven't fixed the notification balloon and they need to because it's a real nuisance for something that should be real ez to fix...

"TECHNOLOGY IS DECIDING the fate of the world, and we are everywhere in its chains. Electronic surveillance, cyberwarfare, arti-ficial intelligence, and manipulated social media are on the brink of pushing societies beyond a point of no return. Even those of us who saw this coming did not think it would get this dire this fast, and definitely not in this way." Joseph Menn

5hVnz Song of the Month...

 This song has a very Clockwork Orange 'esque feel to it...

"Daniel Robert Elfman (born May 29, 1953) is an American composer, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor. He first became well known as the singer-songwriter for the new wave band Oingo Boingo in the early 1980s, and has since garnered international recognition for writing over 100 feature film scores, as well as compositions for television, stage productions, and the concert hall" Wiki

Oingo Boingo has a lot of good songs, but one that stands out for them was, Dead Man's Party...

So the following Video is not too far from the cuff of what Danny Elfman portrays in his song styles...
