Sinead O' Connor - I'm Stretched On Your Grave (live)

Hope it’s a great one!

I kinda like Morrissey slightly more today. https://variety.com/2023/music/news/morrissey-criticism-sinead-oconnor-tributes-1235681468/

Mr. Private Eye should probably calm a little down when meshing with Sinead.

PM incoming.

You pick the musical personality that defined the punk/rock attitude for you. Taking on the church or Frank Sinatra it’s always been her for me. Like a lot of soon to be parents I started thinking of the music I wanted to introduce to our child. Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds and O’Conner’s I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got were one and two. Celebrate the beautiful. Tear down the opposite.

That’s a generous offer. Thanks. Let me ask them.

Here are some silent films to watch until you have a solution. https://www.openculture.com/free-silent-films Also an AppleTV with Airbuds works for me.

These are nothing special, but been shooting the 5D Classic this week after awhile. Surprisingly stress-free and little post needed.

For those who miss innocent old Star Trek days...

How is it going to both implode and explode?

!!!!!! Congrats.

In related news a friend's niece is starting a beginners digital photo course and looking for a body and lens for <$500 new or used. The course description requirements were ridiculous, but translated basically said a camera you could get out of automatic mode and a widish lens. I said... 5D Classic + 35mm D700 + 35mm XT1 + 23mm Any others recommendations of the top of your heads gang?
