So great -- reminds of my favourite band's alter ego: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ8-ZgxB55A

Mmm...beet...hummus?

I definitely hear Perfect Kiss -era New Order in their DNA (which is one of the greatest videos of all time). Also Graveyard Club would be a great name for a classic rock covers band. If it even was a cover. Which it isn't.

Lemon shortbread. Joanne on sampling it, said it goes well with Sauvignon Blanc.

I just like this one. Kids doing good stuff with the old material?

Summer, fun, &c. not proggy, but...tbh, Pink Floyd changed everything for me -- I didn't appreciate funk growing up, so when Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 3 infected my brain, I had to backpedal and catch up.

Casta Diva to folk-rock and back, another mix I never knew I needed

Yes, at least on Hulu/Disney+, though a little warning on the first few slower episodes as they prep for opening. Then the doors open. This season takes place over a single shift. Also keep in mind there is the stand alone flashback Gary episode released before the season. I've yet to see. More than any other show I judge The Bear on its successes, rather than its failures. I really can't think of a show like it. It's like Breaking Bad in reverse.

^have all season 5 episodes dropped?

Thanks Ric. I'm going to watch 4 and 5 then.

With the Big 4th of July approaching these were a fun listen. The New Yorker Radio Hour interviews The Rest Is History hosts Tom Holland & Dominic Sandbrook on the American Revolution from the British perspective.

It starts with George Washington... And a bonus one on The Star Spangled Banner...

Star City next? We lost my response this morning with the site going down. That’s a good thing as I said five is easily the worst season. I was halfway through. Now that I’ve seen the second half, the doors open episodes and wrap up to the whole show, it may be my favorite season. Man, it was a really beautiful show.

Hey! Sorry I didn't mean to go missing for so long, it just kinda happened. I have a little corner of the house with a bunch of fun music things. I recently commissioned a calligrapher to make some artwork to go with the box and can't wait to show you what they look like together.

Just finished up the latest season of For All Mankind. iI's such a damn good show!!

That's a new feature 🤣 I haven't seen that, but I do agree that the missing forum icons are taking a lot of space, I'll see what options are available to hide those, etc. I am not sure what caused some avatars to disappear, I haven't seen anything that points to a specific bug for the time being re-upload them if you have them.

Naturally a few days after doing the major software upgrade the server had a drive failure, it's been restored from the latest backup but it may be missing several hours worth of data. My apologies!

We really enjoyed the first three seasons. We gave up on the fourth season. Hopefully, the final season was better? If so, I may suffer through the 4th to watch the 5th.

Now I know what they were singing.

Even if not the top of its game, still the best thing on television.
