Sarah Thompson-Akers

Such a brilliant, beautiful movie.

It’s the most wonderful time

I got a photo printer yesterday, and today I’m happily sitting in the middle of a mountain of prints. I don’t know why I waited so long, but printing and holding your own work is magic.

My kids (24, 23, 19) are all huge E6 fans, and they each have several E6 fan friends (locally, that *weren’t* raised by me!) There is so much to worry about, but thankfully, this isn’t one of those things. Yay, kids!

Beautifully said. It’s such a huge loss. I’m so sorry.

YouTube video by The Olivia Tremor Control - Topic A Peculiar Noise Called "Train Director"

Unbelievable, just devastating news about the passing of Will Cullen Hart. Olivia Tremor Control are one of the all-time greats, insanely underrated, and Circulatory System were brilliant as well. So, so sad.

The perfect holiday crime! (Now I’m just concerned whether or not they’d know which direction to channel their ire. I might have to give them a mysterious geography refresher before next November.)

I’ll give you the credit (right before they stop talking to me!)

My kids have never experienced the old-timey joy (?) of ambrosia…maybe I’ll make that next year and hide the pies until the next day.

Grown up kids took all the pies, which I was okay with last night. This morning I’m feeling the loss. I’d be happily having Dutch apple.

Happy Delia Derbyshire Day! Here’s her recording equipment on show at the Coventry Music Museum

Glorious.

This has brought me so much joy this morning.

Innnnnteresting! I will have to give them another try.

I’m gonna have to argue with you on this one. They’re waxy and sad. They are fun to put on your pinky while you eat them, though, so points for that.

That’s such a great list! I’m so envious over so many of those!

All sorts of terrible possibilities there!

This is so, so good (both song and photo.)

Usually, people just bury a horse’s head, heart, and hooves, but I don’t know the situation here. And yeah, I get it…I broke a sweat burying a guinea pig.

Thank you, mom. I’ve been wanting to visit for years, and it was perfect. There’s a nice article about the man and his mules here: amp.newsobserver.com/news/local/a...

One of the things I love as much as records! Thanks for sharing :)

The mule and horse cemetery of Fabius Page. Morrisville, NC.
It was a nice little hike to find such a gentle, lovely place.

And now I’m buying them all again, on LP (because I was ridiculous and let it all go years ago.) Analog everything, forever!

Louisville had (maybe has?) *such* a great music scene, and Slint is unquestionably the greatest.
For school trips, we’d go to weekend events in Lexington, and on Saturday nights, UK’s college radio station had a show called Psychedelicatessen. They played lots of S3, and it changed my life :)

Always! (Or at least since 1989 or so.)

A picture of me from a different era. Different era Sarah, in Flatwoods, Kentucky, in the 90’s. Just posing in my room with stuff.

Thanks for making this space so welcoming! And a very, very happy S3 day to you :)

I was really hesitant to join yet another social media site, but so far it’s all Spacemen 3, David Hemmings, French pop, and photography here. So I’m glad I did. Hello!

Tom et Richard

Maybe not my best photo, but definitely one of my favorites, just because I finally got to see the glorious Arkestra in Raleigh this summer.
