I’m reading this great Flann O’Brien book called “The Third Policeman”- fabulous wordplay. Why am I just discovering this writer now?

From now on, I am committing to watching fox terrier videos upon first rising in the morning. Just 15 or 20 minutes before breakfast.
I did not know either and no disrespect intended at all, but it’s totally bananas that the replacement lead vocalist in Boston died today on the anniversary of Brad Delp’s death. That is bonkers.
I like the parts of social media with animals doing funny things. And pictures of guitars.
Wife and I just saw the Elvis movie currently in theatres- lost Vegas footage from the early 70s. Elvis is lean and on top of his game as a performer and the band is on fire. #bazluhrmann deserves to be beaten with a pillowcase full of bike locks for not listing the band or singers in the credits.
My doggie, Goose, is very pleased to be featured on this swell poster that @lmccolgan70.bsky.social made for our next show. It’s March 28 in Medford if you want to attend.
AND IT SEEMS TO ME / YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE / LIKE A CANDLE IN THE WIND
Vitally important, Mike: if this slipped past your notice, make sure to give it a listen. The band is outrageously good and it’s when they were just getting going. Recorded before they were signed and this is their nightclub act, essentially.
New Ayatollah just dropped.
That’s his trick! How can Trump “abandon” the Constitution if he doesn’t have any idea what it says? See? Never read it, totally incapable of comprehending it.
Apropos of everything, “Whenever You’re On My Mind” by Marshall Crenshaw is as perfect a pop song as anyone has ever written. How he do that? Sheer wizardry.
A fish rots from the head down.
"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".
Gonna play a show tomorrow with my pal Tony from Magnetic Fields, Figures On A Beach, Fireking. Tony is the best.
The next time you get absolutely sick to death of hearing about that orange hate cock 24/7, like you’re just gonna puke if you hear his name again, YouTube “The Police 1982 in Gateshead”. It’s awesome, Stewart Copeland slays. It will restore your hope in humanity…briefly.
Maiden! \m/
Funny Kay.
I wonder what led to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers play “You Wreck Me” tuned up a 1/2 step live. It’s an odd choice, I can’t imagine why they didn’t capo instead. Even the bass is tuned to F.
Oh no! I broke a string on my marxophone. Luckily, I am using it double an omnichord part, so I think a single string will suffice, but it is disappointing. That’s what I get for tuning it.
I love this!
Here’s my blues cred: a man named T-Bone showed me the particular way Jimmy Reed used to play the 5 chord. That’s pretty good, right?
I don’t know how keyboard players do it. Every time I add a simple little keyboard part to one of my recordings, I am paralyzed by infinite options. I always end up with mellotron, of course, but that’s after days of scrolling through libraries.
They’ve got some crust.
You generally don’t see many people skating with a hollowbody. A telecaster, sure, but a fancy jazz box?
An absolute classic.
Oh, shit yes!
Counselor: These feelings of "everything sucks," how long have you had them? Butt-head: Uhh, since everything started to suck, I guess.
Here it is, your moment of zen.
Ubiquitous, too.
Kick out the style, bring back the jam.
