China's Hong Kong Listening Post Revealed

Posted August 24, 2014 12:00 AM by Engineering360 eNewsletter

The purpose of a geodesic dome atop Hong Kong's highest mountain was unveiled recently in IHS Jane's Defence Weekly. The facility has been operating since 2011, when the dome was completed, and is said to be a People's Liberation Army communications monitoring installation. The summit site also contains a civil aviation terminal area radar and the Hong Kong Observatory's weather radar.

Oh, that's an old photo of Renditioned!!

According to Billbored Magazine's seminal pamphlet The Compleat History of Soviet Rock 'n' Roll:

"Renditioned!! - A one-hit-wonder whose only commercial success was the hit-single-for-three-whole-minutes Боль в ухе на глаза. The tune briefly saw new life a few decades later (this time for five whole minutes) when it was 'discovered' by the American hippie/free-love/drug/counterculture comedy duo Cheech & Chong, who claimed the piece as their own, original work. This claim remains undisputed as the original band disappeared immediately following the tune's debut on a clandestine Moscow radio station and were never heard from again."
