"Legendary post punk band Mekons announced today that they will be re-releasing their 2025 album HORROR on June 12 in conjunction with an entire new album of Dub remixes, entitled HORRORble (mekons Vs. Tony Maimone In Dub Conference) by Pere Ubu’s Tony Maimone via Fire Records on white vinyl..."
My secret life as a cat.
I keep blowing my chances at getting Mekons tickets. The scalpy prices are high, too.
Well this is some scary shit.

Going out on a limb here and guessing I'm not the only one who despises Hegseth.
A cryptic note from my stack of papers:
Piggly Wiggly vs Zork
It meant something to me at the time.
The Fall
Gun Club
Mission of Burma
Young Marble Giants
Maybe John Cale if you count The Velvet Underground to his total.
In alt music there's also Cate le Bon and The Mekon's John Langford.
Listen to Ryan Schwank. He’s an ex-trainer at ICE who previously served as Assistant Chief Counsel for ICE. Before that, he was a legal adviser at the Dilley Family Residential Center in Texas. He has defended some horrible stuff and here he is calling DHS out. You know it's bad when this happens.
Schools are closed. No Zoom classes. I have often felt a little sadness for the kids who no longer have traditional snow days. This is a nice touch. We shouldn't be so relentlessly relentless. That's for Nandor only.

The only place you’ll hear.
Well I've been using that word all wrong.
Same, sadly, I no longer have my vinyl. I'll have to search it out one day.

Just a Christmas tune for you from Ultraprophets of Thee Psykick Revolution. Really an underappreciated band, I think. And almost impossible to search for.

My mourning doves are angry. Here's Camper Van Beethoven. I loved them back in the days when mourning doves didn't haunt my window.
Tony Harrison from the Mighty Boosh, who is a squid-like pink head. He's saying, "Oh, come off it, Tusk, in its entirety, with the pauses as Lindsey Buckingham intended it to be heard."
Agreed on this. "Never Make Me Cry" is a standout for me and surpasses the original by far.
Somewhere on blue sky, and I can't find it anymore, I stumbled across this lovely cover by Elliot Smith of Thirteen by Big Star.

The Mekons are champs at this. Especially when they drank more.
The Spouter Inn's famous McRib sandwich.
My TV fritzed into permanent darkness halfway through "Live and Die in L.A."
If all the wanging didn’t kill it, the chunging sealed the deal.

A black cat, Otter, chilling out on a grey couch. Plants overhang.
For Black Cat owners, Friday the 13th is yet another celebration day for these fuzzy little voids. This hardly means they're bad luck, but rather they are honorary members of the Knights Templar.
Mine has departed but I rarely miss a chance to share her.

I feel like we need an preventative media accord.
When Trump dies and the inevitable official Trump AI is launched, endless social media posts, AI videos, etc., the media ignores everything it says and every bot-charged reaction to it.
Or else we'll be doomed to hear from him to the end of days.
Ring search party for turning your neighborhood doorbells into mesh video surveillance for “dogs” seems sketch.
That's about $136,000,000 in USD. I think we'll be losing a lot more than that.
A cartoon boy, Calvin, of Calvin and Hobbes, sitting at a school desk and saying, "Given the pace of technology, I propose we leave math to the machines and go play outside."
Apropos of nothing but the last couple centuries of technology.
Because they stop to let children off and it's going too slowly for them. I am convinced that honking is a power curve and 20% of the drivers will honk anytime they're paused. They need to be fined into oblivion.
