That was my first Butthole Surfers album. I was looking for their cover of "American Woman" and because the tracks aren't listed, I bought two others before finding what I was looking for. Instant Butts collection!

Never did get to see Dire Straits but I was fortunate to see Mark playing with Eric Clapton in '88. Bonus for being 8 rows from the front in an arena setting. Minus for sound quality in an arena setting. The Winnipeg Arena in particular.

That bunny hop was something else. I couldn't believe what I just saw.

Yup, RIP to Mojo. I saw him with Skid Roper at a bar in 1987. Man, what a crazy show. Chaotic, mad, and wildly entertaining. Of course, the tab I dropped before going in may have influenced my perception of what was going on.

RIP Peter Schickele aka P.D.Q. Bach After Looney Tunes, he was my next most significant childhood introduction to classical music. Rest easy, Peter.

I fuckin' hate the tats, but turns out he's a decent actor.

I've never had a Weber Kettle but am becoming sorely tempted. How well it accommodate a two-zone fire?

If you get any of the IMS with the nanotech coating, be mindful that espresso detergent will strip the coating. Also, yes, the Acaia Pearl is a must have, AFAIC.

Have a safe and happy Christmas everyone.

That was my intro to The Flaming Lips. I had the pleasure of seeing them while they were touring promoting Oczy Mlody. It was a small venue, so an intimate experience. Oddly, sponsored by the Winnipeg Jazz Festival. That's fine, I'll take them whoever is bringing them to town. The best part was that I brought my 16 year old daughter to her first rock show. Damn, they did not disappoint!

Yes please. I tired of crouching to watch the pour.

Well, that was epic. Thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it.

How are drinking the rum? Neat? Ice?

How does this compare to the Gliko stuff from my local asian grocer?

RIP Ivan. Thanks for making me laugh.
