I bought a used Ventures record the day of the election planning to play it that day. So I’m saving it as a spite/curse item.

In honor of Danny Bulanadi's birthday, I'd like to share this classic story by Michael Fleisher, Val Mayerik, Danny Bulanadi, Clem Robins, Bob LeRose, and Larry Hama.

Forty-eight years ago, Jonah Hex found "Amazon Treasure... Amazon Death!"

My level of petty is that I have an acquaintance who really dislikes Prisencolinensinainciusol, so I make an effort to include it in every playlist I have any control over in his presence.

The next cartoon is nothing but panels of clown paintings, done by someone else of course.

And his inking? It’s distinctively his work while never hiding or burying the penciler’s work.

It was super cool to see and thankfully it calmed down significantly after that first month. But that first month they were bussing people up from temp lots several miles away, every side street was packed with cars, and people were walking on very busy streets to get there. It was nuts.

Listening to the digital EP this morning and if we could get an LP? I’d totally triple dip. youtu.be/sS9ftkUJ8NA

BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Atlanta in Lilburn This intricate Hindu temple is the largest of its kind outside of India itself and was constructed like a giant puzzle.

Oh, and context (and my one big Atlas Obscura addition) for the temple that I mentioned. www.atlasobscura.com/places/baps-...

Yeah, you’re not kidding about that view. The closest I had to that level of traffic was during the celebration for the completion of the temple close to us and that was enough to make me contemplate moving.

Oh HELL no.

Harvest Fair, by Summer Salt track by Summer Salt

Harvest Fair by Summer Salt. The full length My Favorite Holiday by Summer Salt isn't available physically or digitally on Bandcamp, so I'll be circling back to their website soon. Fun, indie rock and a perfect Autumn (not Halloween) song. summersaltband.bandcamp.com/track/harves...

New Old-Fashioned Way, by The Winter Spirits 11 track album

New Old-Fashioned Way by The Winter Spirits. The Winter Spirits manage to do wry without being snarky and heartfelt without being sappy. "Empty Stockings" was my entry point. thewinterspirits.bandcamp.com/album/new-ol...

Halfway To Eighty, by Tijuana Panthers 11 track album

Halfway To Eighty by Tijuana Panthers. Great surf/garage rock that checks some of those spacey indie sound boxes too. tijuanapanthers.bandcamp.com/album/halfwa...

When I Die (You Better Say Nice Things About Me), by Nikki & the Phantom Callers 4 track album

When I Die (You Better Say Nice Things About Me)
by Nikki & the Phantom Callers. Did I already buy this on digital? Yes. And now the physical EP? Also yes. Fun, power poppy country that makes you happy to double dip exists and this is it. nikkithephantomcallers1.bandcamp.com/album/when-i...

Is it Bandcamp Friday? Hell yes it is!

Going light this #BandcampFriday because the first quarter of 2026 has been *really* rough. Still, there's good music to celebrate and damn if that doesn't brighten my day! 1/5

Despite being a retread of the plot for Goldfinger, I'd forgotten how completely unhinged A View To A Kill is.

Oh man, that looks great! Those eyes are so expressive!

And yes, JLU is available on some streamer or other, but they won’t have the commentaries or the special features and the image quality and sound are significant downgrades on digital only. So yes. I’m not buying physical media like I used to, but the replacement Blu Rays will be here Saturday.

Aw man! I was all set up to watch a Timm Verse Two-fer with “On Leather Wings”and “Destroyer”, only for my JLU disc to have like a billion scratches on it and be unwatchable. Which pisses me off to no end because I take care of my media.

If we're talking influences, I'd say the Sprawl trilogy in general, and the Haitians in Count Zero specifically were the bigger influence on the VDB. I wish the game had leaned into that a little more with the Loa communicating directly through Placide and Maman Brigitte, but que sera sera.

Where are we as a society when I have to explain the Scotty Rule to someone in technology?

Mad Libs all the way down.

Thanks! If I were to do it again, I’d pick up the papers myself to reduce the friction of kids who couldn’t get a copy of the paper for whatever reason as well as reinforce the duties of the branches in person.
