Always amusing when spammers send fake legal notices to an actual lawyer.

Needless to say, UMG couldn't pay me to put Lewis Capaldi music on our Facebook page.

Mushrooms are present, but sparse. Most of them end up on my wife's burger.

Haven't done any burgerposting in awhile so here's tonight's meal:

Smashed chuck/briskett/rib blend with bacon crumble, diced onions, mushrooms, butter lettuce, and special sauce on a classic hamburger bun.

Goddamn delicious.

A piece about how absolutely awesome the song "Valley" by the Norwegian progressive metal band Leprous is?

You don't have to go back in time to experience it, that's the beauty of recorded music!

No

Shore was great

That's not a cold!

Hope you feel better soon!

I know "Back to the Egg" and "London Town" are nobody's favourite McCartney/Wings albums, but it is genuinely insane that two major label LPs by one of the most important artists of the 20th century have been out of print for 30 years.

If you think anyone is interested in the opinion of a small town lawyer and niche musician who is not Jewish, never lived in New York, and is not a professional writer, on the works of Woody Allen (which I adore), I'm your man.

Special Edition of the "A Voyage / A Destination" albums with a bonus album of additional material is out today... and it's Bandcamp Friday!

Honestly, I love all of Genesis's albums.

Except Abacab.

Surely you spoke out and urged for international intervention when the Iranian regime killed more than 10,000 pro-democracy protesters just a month ago, and didn't ignore that to fixated on one or two white protesters killed in the USA.

Right?

Counterpoint:

Shirts should say band names on them.

He sings all the harmony parts, his vocals live are much more prominent than on the first album.

Approach with wanton abandon!

So jealous.

I see that ? beside Temic. Don't miss them! So good.

Well he's Jewish so probably not the first one.

He's always been pompous but he used to sometimes have interesting or insightful things to say. I still can't figure out if he genuinely lost his mind during covid, or just decided to become a grifter, or both. Either way it's embarrassing.

A nod to the latest from Bad Dog Promotions 🎶

Also, this made me laugh out loud:
"But what the NYT piece dwells on is not so much which clothes CBK selected, but that she was SELECTIVE. As opposed to those other women who simply enter a shop, lift the floorboards, and tilt the contents into a giant shopping cart"

I little interest in CBK; however, it's interesting how many things you note in this piece are hallmarks of sloppy journalism generally, regardless of the subject. Like, what are you actually *saying* here? It's just a bunch of vague pleasant sounding soup that conveys a gist, but nothing concrete.

I'm confused, are you pro- or anti-murdering protesters?

Today's episode: Modern prog albums for people who don't like prog (or don't know they like prog) - particularly, indie/alternative rock fans:

and Carney has been dragging them back to the centre/centre-right.

The Carney Liberals and the Poilievre Conservatives are much closer in their policy platforms and how they'd govern than the Liberals are to the left social-democratic New Democratic Party.

Liberals have not traditionally been a centre-left party. They have traditionally been the party of the business elites and pursued a traditional small l-liberal "fiscally conservative socially moderate" agenda, especially under Chretien and Martin. J.Trudeau dragged them much further to the left

Drag me out to the ball game
Force me up with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack
While I count down until we can go back
'cause I don't much care for the home team
If they win or lose it's the same
Yes it's one-two-three strikes you're out
At this lame ball game

There'll be a whole tent devoted to the proper pronunciation of "Chilliwack"
