Few more from the interwebz via my drive. The one about chocolate I especially love because it is SO much Karen - sent it to her sisters and one said she cried she laughed so hard.

Saw a posting for this band on FB, checked more out and I like it! They do a couple of good covers on their album.... One original, one cover:

Root Down - Live ! by Jimmy Smith (1972) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0060254782508 Example: Getting a Friday groove on with Jimmy.

It's an interesting unit Not the sharpest thing in the world, but it focuses quickly. The out of focus areas are warm and fuzzy, so it has good bork-eh. Probably best used outdoors.

Turned This: Into This: Because: This:

Flea's trumpet focused Honora. I'm not in the RHCP fan base (but am Jane's Addiction), so surprised at how enjoyable this is. ex.

Unsurprisingly, A fair amount of UK specific context is assumed, but a lot of this has been in the global news because of the people involved and public interest. Besides, it's nice to have a cold open / any content without a certain individual. Enjoy.

The cat looks really embarrassed

Yum. I love a good Puttanesca. Thanks for the recipe.

The wifey and her bestie cooked up a homemade pasta puttanesca last night that was spectacular. I got curious so searched a bit... This recipe from the NYT garnered a lot of love for those less inclined to eyeball it... https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/11583-pasta-puttanesca HS

Goddamn. Just learned that DJ Dan died at 57. I did a 4 hour set downstairs at the legendary afterhours club Rise in Boston while he headlined in the main room upstairs in late 2012. A few months later, I helped run a show where he played in early 2013. This was the upstairs before DJ Dan started playing. The number of people in it tripled by the end of the night. I don't have many photos of the downstairs ...because I DJ'd for 4 hours, but this is one long exposure taken with me braced against a couch. The 2013 show was amazing. I saw a bunch of jaded drum n bass and dubstep fans realizing that house music was a lot of fun. I only spoke to him briefly, because I had a job (or more to the point, like 20 jobs) to do. He seemed like a very chill, down to earth guy, especially for someone as famous as he was. 57 is crazy young to pass.

Godspeed, James Tolkan.... https://deadline.com/2026/03/james-tolkan-dead-back-to-the-future-top-gun-1236768221/ HS
