For YEARS I thought he was saying “HEY DAD”, but he’s saying “Hated”???

R.I.P. Éliane Radigue, one of the most innovative and radical composers of our century- if you haven’t heard her music yet, prepare for something simultaneously delicate and oceanic. I don’t love the word “genius” but she deserves it.

I think about “Derf the Smurf” weekly.

Lars barely held his own with Lou Reed!

The documentary gets into this too - Gene Simmons being like “Why don’t these dudes want to party with me and all these women?” and those three are just reading and smoking pot.

I think they were! Just kinda normal/dorky guys.

It’s nice having all the singles/bonus stuff organized by album. I wound up selling the first box though, which probably has the most amount of “exclusive”/unreleased material.

Of course! It’s easy to build it into a habit. My girlfriend is much better at it than I am, and she was able to get pretty proficient before our trips to Japan. No issues chatting with folks/getting directions/etc.

My go-to is Pimsleur. Much better focus on learning how to hold down an actual conversation and not just identifying random words in sentences.

Another +1 for Rattlesnake. Hank’s a great dude and I’ve been using nothing but his instrument/speaker/patch cables for years.

Dreamt that Danzing wrote/sang a new Misfits song.

The only lyric I remember was “Rode my bike/still feel like shit” at the end of the first verse (think “Theme from a Jackal” voice.)

I say this as an annual NYA subscriber since it launched (or close to it.)

“The latest in file cabinet technology…”

“Dear Greenland,

Here’s free access to one of the worst-designed apps/websites you will ever visit.

Your move, Bono.

Still sending donations to VOCAL-TX for anyone who grabs this. Who says Christmas has to end?

Picked up a few Dietrichs CDs recently - all slimlines!

Been considering something similar for a minute. Could 2026 be the year of the “short run slimline CD revival”?
