Tried teaching my neighbor's dog not to poop on my lawn. It did not go well. The second one hiding at 9 o'clock was much larger and totally unafraid of me. We parted company acknowledging it would be better not to test each other.

Roxy Music is touring again, with Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay, Phil Manzanera, and Paul Thompson (with St. Vincent). So excited!

Removed the bandage from my finger. Realized that this latest accident actually removed the long scar from where the Dr. had sewn the finger together from the first accident.

Russian warship Moskva has sunk - defence ministry.

Never heard them, but if they even hint at the Clears they may be worth grabbing. Focal Elegia Down to $380. https://www.adorama.com/fofelegia.html?EmailPrice=T

Endurance - Alfred Lansing I was inspired to pick this up after they found the Endurance preserved under the ice. What. A. Story. I knew the broad outlines of the Shackleton expedition, but this takes you day by day through the gauntlet. It is an incredible tale of survival that I wouldn't believe if it wasn't true. Chilled me to the bones and I can't get the smell of burning seal flesh out of my nose. Highly recommended.

I wanted to listen to some Branford Marsalis the other day, so I picked one on my Fav soundtracks. The Russia House Various Artists 1990 I know I am supposed to hate everything Russian these days - but fuck that. This sent me on a deep dive for Jerry Goldsmith soundtracks - Thanks Streaming Service. Listened to most of all of these. And all of this one.

Severance. So amazing. Totally addicted.

^^ Very cool....but in one ad/article about the reunion/tour, they had a picture with Eno in it. THAT would have been fucking incredible!

It is sightings like that, and similar ones that have occurred in my neck of the woods, that have me thinking that something like a bean bag shotgun wouldn’t be the worst thing to have around.

1.6A should be fine and you can always measure the resistance of the windings. There should be a resistance reading when measuring from one end of the windings to the other when they are set to 240V.

Logan's Sanctuary by Roger Joseph Manning Jr. & Brian Reitzell Ex.

Wait, are you allowed to listen to Logan’s Run if you’re over 30?

Goes great with wine...obviously.

I'm using a multisampled piano played by the Super Disting EX, adding some extra emphasis on a particular band of the low-end by sending the piano through the spectral "editor" Fumana, linked below. Here's more of the "recipe" if you're curious. I could almost literally KILL YOU with details. I saved you lucky so-and-sos some Googling, looky how nice I am. Control Stochastic Inspiration Generator+Expander (sequencer) Sinfonion (quantizer) Pithoprakta (additional gates and triggers) Voices 2x Super Disting EX (multisample piano and Wurlitzer) Plonk (percussion) Poly Cinematic (distorted pads) Modulation Acid Rain Maestro ochd Effects and processing Beads Fumana Ripples Starlab SIG to Sinfonion, pads, Wurlitzer bombs, and percussion. Sinfonion chords to piano voices. Pithoprakta provides additional gates and triggers for piano voices and Sinfonion, and to occasionally advance Sinfonion’s chord progressions. Super Disting #1 → Ripples → Starlab for reverb and also Fumana. Second Super Disting (Wurlitzer bombs) goes straight to the mixer. PolyCinematic → Beads for grainy goodness on the pads. This was a single “take” where I “played” the 4 parts and recorded everything into Ableton (where I did some additional processing on the percussion and pads). I have a friend working on a real mix...this is my bullshit non-pro Ableton mix.

Months later, I finish another track...temp mix while a friend does a real pass on it. Made this with the mega-modular rig.

Thanks, will do! Just worried about if the power goes off. If we're stuck inside and the little one can't watch Paw Patrol, there will be blood.

Russia has defaulted on its foreign debt, says S&P.

Brisket chili.

Finally went out and saw a concert last Friday -- Zombi -- multi-instrumentalist (synths, bass, and the occasional sax) and drummer -- was a great first concert
