I used to see him around, but never said anything to him, just admired from afar, though we did exchange XRAY FM emails at one point, come to think of it.
Pretty interesting versions of those songs.
I should let AI write my posts.
A match made in heck.
I'm not supposed to buy any more records, so this morning I went to Music Millennium and bought "The Legendary Demos" by Carole King and the Gang of Four "The Peel Sessions". Both records are very good.
No--perhaps this is me being unsentimental, but I loathe the concept of "making memories." It's commodified doing things. Just do things.
Our experiences inform who we are, and things we don't remember (we were too young, it was traumatic, or maybe it was minor at the time) are part of that too.
huh

Thinking I haven't been to El Nutri for tacos in quite some time.

Took advantage of it being wet and sloppy outside to go do a codger walk around all three floors of the once glorious, now doomed Lloyd Center shopping mall.
It was a bit of a trip. I enjoyed it and will probably go back.
I know this is a crazy idea, but do any of the commentators who got snookered by anonymous Republicans into sticking with "Trump is strong on immigration, the public actually loves deportations" for far too long feel like it's time to ask themselves why they got so easily taken?

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.
Glad for this information on the Ex-Lion Tamers.
I saw them open for Wire on "The Ideal Copy" tour, June 87 at the 930 Club in our nation's capital. I had often wondered if they were from suburban Maryland or what. Turns out they were not from suburban Maryland.

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."
Russia is “engaged in a large-scale global attempt” to take over Signal and WhatsApp accounts, two Dutch intelligence agencies said Monday, adding to warnings issued by several groups about the security risk to the messaging apps.
True.
I do love that big fat Minimoog.
Woke up with "Love Is Alive" by Gary Wright in my head, so that's a pretty good start.
That is the universal head jerk, tut, and sigh of:
"I don't even fucking know man, everything I say is about to be the dumbest shit you've ever heard."
Yeah, sometimes it's hard not to be shitty if you went and they asked you how you liked it.
Difficult not to be shitty for me, anyway.
I made my bones running from desk to desk advising users to reboot after the portfolio accounting software had given their Windows 95 boxes General Protection Faults for the seventh or eighth time that day.
The users liked having someone to bawl to who would tell them to restart their computers.
