I’m just a guy. Special Education, dogs, nature, music, records. I’m a cancer survivor, a skeptic, and a believer of science above all. Prefer local DC issues over national politics.

Tinsel and Lights

[Supplementary and topic-adjacent: It is a matter of some surprise to me that the greatest Christmas album of all time (fact, not interested in spurious counter arguments) is 13 years old. Good Lord. @traceythorn.bsky.social’s Tinsel & Lights. Perfection.]

NEPA is pissed right now. Whether that will result in change or not is to be seen.

My favorite thing about Depeche Mode singles is how I have a “limited” numbered edition and mine is 35,065. Love in Itself 2 plus four live tracks which are great. #vinyl #recordsky

My favorite picture disk, and it also sounds pretty good for one. #vinyl #recordsky

It’s as if Danny Wilson or Johnny Hates Jazz made a prog album.

I never understood who or what this band was but I’ve always loved the cover photo. Making a row boat look like a Dino is brilliant. The 1st track is discordant art funk with Scottish/Celtic vibes. From there it moves to more straightforward art pop #vinyl #recordsky

Why Some Doctors Say There Are Cancers That Shouldn’t Be Treated

This is a great article that is eight years too late for me. If you're diagnosed with cancer, or concerned, read this and discuss options before getting surgery. My quality of life has been shattered by surgery. #fuckcancer

My body is a machine that turns “you saying a sentence with the slightest passing resemblance of a song lyric” into “me interrupting the conversation to sing that line of the song”

imma say no, but if you also put peppers and onions on the pizza you have your deconstructed sub.

here's my "i just thought of this but should have realized it 40 years ago thought": Meatballs on pizza is just a deconstructed meatball sub, and should be way more common than it is.

The Ramsey Lewis Trio. More Sounds of Christmas. An excellent instrumental Xmas alternative to Guiraldi. #vinyl #recordsky

Hiccup is curious as to why I installed a bathroom for him inside. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

I love the Elephant Table Album. Found it in the 90’s and played it all the time.

I don't remember Luke being ripped like Conan in the movie poster. Was it always like that?

Hiccup looks absolutely smashing in his tweed coat. He’s hoping, since RFK Jr is lauding Hiccup’s work on eating rabbit poop to stave off the flu, that he’ll finally get that tenure offer he’s been chasing. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Good morning Bluesky! It’s snowing here so George Winston’s December seems an appropriate spin to start the day. #vinyl #recordsky picked up for 60cents at a time when value village marked all their prices in greasepen. Which does not come off cardstock.
