Libation Legacy🍸

I, for one, would appreciate wine flowing out the kitchen faucet.

Kiss your sister for me

What's that on your shirt?

John Legend was right there

Magick Brother?

Gary Numan is two weeks older than Gary Oldman? It doesn't seem right.

I read this on 2020, and it's definitely coming back to me now.

A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ 274 had been. Fortunately for them, perhaps. The closer men came to perfecting for themselves a paradise, the more impatient they seemed to become with it, and with themselves as well. They made a garden of pleasure, and became progressively more miserable with it as it grew in richness and power and beauty; for then, perhaps, it was easier for them to see that something was missing in the garden, some tree or shrub that would not grow. When the world was in darkness and wretchedness, it could believe in perfection and yearn for it. But when the world became bright with reason and riches, it began to sense the narrowness of the needle's eye, and that rankled for a world no longer willing to believe or yearn. Well, they were going to destroy it again, were they?—this garden Earth, civilized and knowing, to be torn apart again that Man might hope again in wretched darkness.

A little light reading this morning.

an excellent bookstore from which I've ordered many, many gems: novels, vintage mags, biographies, collected criticism (including by @jhoberman.bsky.social), rare OOP copies. if you can, support one of the great visual media scribes of our time

The blanc is good for many purposes, some are or should be classics.

This is a good start. Refrigerate your vermouth, it is wine and will sour. In fridge it will survive a while. Dolin dry rules the dry category if you can't find Noilly Prat Original Dry. Regarding sweet vermouth, I don't want to tell. Can't have the price driven up.

This is a good start. Note:

Dad's Gonna Kill Me YouTube video by Richard Thompson - Topic

I haven't heard this one, now I need to listen to the album. It was geoblocked here but (not a token!) here it is

Armageddon Days (Are Here Again) (Remastered) YouTube video by The The - Topic

Geoblocked for me, but this one worked. NOT A TOKEN!

I'll look for it!

Token 2!

The first album "Leg End" is probably my favorite of theirs, but you need to look for the orignal mastering. The re-master was a significant change, and not for the better IMO.

War YouTube video by Henry Cow - Topic

Token 2 is "War" by Henry Cow, off of their album In Praise Of Learning.

"Violence completes the partial mind."

We saw them live, it was a wild show.

The first time I heard it was a local folk group playing it live. I was young at the time, and it really affected me. Can't remember who they were, though, it was in the late seventies.

Rene Jacques
Café aux Invalides
Paris (1941)

I remembered that someone had covered it, but forgot who!

Eric Bogle - And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda (Lyrics) YouTube video by Ger1872

Happy Saturday cats and kitties! Token 1 is Eric Bogle, with "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda," a song for the WWI vets and for all wars in all times.

This isn't Xitter and it isn't Meta and your weird games won't help you here.

I reluctantly followed another account which posts everything as a single thread. I hate this. It crashes some of my devices from memory overloads. Why can't you post like normal people?

The Death of Spotify: Why Streaming is Minutes Away From Being Obsolete Jimmy Iovine just called the Death of Spotify. He might be right.

Interesting, if wildly optimistic, article about the future of DSP's.
