even worse, I just noticed I have a ticket for a show tonight and I will also not be going there

ah, jeez... I just saw that it's NNO and I like my neighbors and the weather isn't insanely hot and... here I am with chicken in the oven and two loads of laundry in the washer downstairs so happy Same-as-it-(almost)-ever-was Night In for this kid, I guess

apartment courtyard

out here in my backyard and despite the questionable air… beautiful

I spent the afternoon/evening with my mom and my ex-gf (obvsly, we’re cool). Mom had a gallstone blocking her bile duct and holy shit, does that cause a lot of trouble. Her liver function numbers need to improve, then she can go home. Fingers crossed.

that last bit is everything... perception is reality, and I'm thankful that the overall mindset here in Mpls is more DSA and less MAGA, because all those folks start in roughly the same place (though to be fair, I'm much more DSA than DFL)

why does the emergency announcement on the radio sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher in a bunker? Yes, I’m in a Lyft and the next song on KS95 was pure garbage

I am a Coke guy when I have soda. I'm glad this is something you could share with the rest of us, Amazing Larry.

a most-excellent show

my fat head up front, Big Star Quintet in the distance (on stage)

I’m @first-avenue.com for Big Star Quintet and it’s kind of a perfect night here… busy, but not packed to the point of… eh… I like my space

haha! um… I bought a small bottle of rye…?

Big news!

I went to magical Mahtomedi this evening

jebus... I followed some kind of mass-follow account on this thing and I have to keep unfollowing those stupid one-line-of-unfunny accounts... (to be fair, did I have one too many pours of delicious rye this evening?)

it’s been a little while since I sang the praises of Lilac Vegetal… I just shaved and I smell fantastic

a song list

nice.

my get up mix has a Beatlesque Sugar-to-Sloan back-to-back (well, I dunno… I thought of Why Don’t We Do It in the Road followed by I Will)

have not… will check it out, thx!

listen. I'm just going to go over there and resume re-watching Archer for the hundredth time (or whatever)

happy to see DM being interesting... it's way more fun
now than when I lived there in the mid- to late-'90s

thanks for the tip (discover and energy)

as I click to reply, Apple just offered up "Stay Up Late" for the second time in the last hour... I like that one, but... I happen to have listened to *a lot* of Talking Heads this last month- several records
... jebus

just saying... Spotify never thinks I want to listen to crap. But I don't want to give them money

Fair enough. But I don't think I've ever intentionally listened to B. Joel, save the Hussalonia cover record of Glass Houses

Dear Apple Music. I've long been aware that your algorithm is shittier than a woman I dated who had legit medical issues... and seriously... why in the hell did you think, based on my listening history, that I would ever want to hear Billy Joel, especially "Uptown Girl??????" Fix yourself!

So much U.S. history; never mind world history. I want to know everything. Every time I approach a new subject and look into it, it confirms my biases- the struggle of the working people, the poor...

like Grace before me, I’m trying to wrap my head around the “eviction for letting friends use their shower” part of this story

at 56, I’m fully aware that my looks are/look is not for everyone… so when a lovely woman smiled and waved at me from two lanes over at a stop light this evening, it made me smile like I was 26 again… thx, pretty lady

The Somewhat Surprising Return of the Hussalonia Robot Singers, by Hussalonia 11 track album

ignored yesterday and had a pretty good day today- This is Spinal Tap at the theater, then dinner with my mom... cool to run into my neighbor Nikki who I met last weekend... now Hussalonia @hussalonia.bsky.social‬ (hussalonia.bandcamp.com/album/the-so...), which is just the tip of the iceberg

I hope everyone had a great Pride weekend in Mpls (and elsewhere); too hot and humid for me to get out, so good on you if you can roll with that shit

Heh. Generally a great place to live… Given the randomness of global warming, difficult to say whether the rain will be with us
