I picked up a restored 60βs reel-to-reel player tonight. I love digital/streaming options when Iβm on the go, but when Iβm relaxing at home, analog has an unrivaled magic.

This is more of a novelty - but, hey - it looks cool!
The wife and I saw Wicked today.
Loved it!
One of my friends had that lunchbox! I think I was rocking an ALF lunchbox around that time (I bought one on eBay several years ago after feeling nostalgic. It sits in my game room).

As an adult, I've come to love Lennon/Ono's "Happy XMas (War Is Over)" and David Bowie/Bing Crosby's "Peace On Earth/The Little Drummer Boy." The latter's such a wild clash of old and new (at the time), & Bing died a month later.

One of my wife's favorites, and I don't mind that one bit. It's delightful. Sign me up for "Love, Actually" while you're at it.

You see this, Bret, you magnificent bastard?
Thanks! I'll hit him up in the morning. I think he'll be game. He and I share a mutual disdain for Elon Musk and Trump... so probably. :)
11.11.2024 05:15 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0This week sucked ass, so here's some stuff I'm excited about:
Cooler weather (I live in AZ).
Thanksgiving/Christmas (we put up our tree last night).
My band has a new album coming out in 2025 (really proud of my work on it - lots of instruments).
My podcast cohost has something RAD in the works!
