Happy birthday, Mikey! (party favour noise) ?

Nice to see someone taking room treatments seriously.

Nice!

Black (sublime) is moar bettr?

I cut my teeth on that album. Didn’t realize there were different versions, but I probably have the same one your brother had. The bizarre processing on “I Wanna Be Committed” resonated with me even when I was an actual, literal child, rather than the childman I am now.

I’m going to disagree. Pre-ringing doesn’t exist in nature, so it’s intrusive if you can hear it. I’m still pretty sure I prefer Linear Phase, but that kind of language (“...makes no sense...”, “...dislike aesthetically...”) is typical “trying to get in my head and tell me how to think my own thoughts” bullshit. It just irks me.

This is why I love them.

Batch #2 is still going strong, so after watching this video: ...decided to go with garlic paste, and then top it off with ground dried roasted garlic from a grinder, for those two different tastes, which I always kind of knew, but never really understood. I do like fresh chopped garlic too, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never tasted that in a sauce that I’ve made. And then store it for later eating.

U can haz kittehs!

This has been my dream for years.

I fell asleep while the crockpot was on high, so I cooked the life out of it. Not inedible, but no longer “fucking delicious “. Just kind of lifeless. Batch #2 is already significantly better.

A couple of new and recent and recent-ish releases: Bent Knee, Leprous, Haken

I think she's really a Tigger.

I’m sorry, I’ll shut up, please feel free to continue to share your progress, I doubt I’m the only one interested.

Just finished Last Dance by Martin L Shoemaker. I enjoyed! Mostly because the central figure is so tactless and crotchety, like House, M.D., except a space captain. I’m going to start modeling my own life after him. It’s not perfect—it’s really a bunch of stories tied together in another overarching story—but no less enjoyable for it.

So I think I’ve put two crockpots full of additional ingredients into said goulash: 4 cans of various tomatoes (including two labeled sweet onion); 1 pound of beef; 2 cans of beans; a second package of noodles; water... I think I’ve achieved perfection. So it’s nowhere to go but down. Also, I’ve been using Chobani squeezable yogurt instead of sour cream. It’s fucking delicious.

My girl, Yvette Young, dressing up as Noodle for Halloween:

Damn skippy, I like it. Did you read the comments? "...looks like they came straight out of Scott Pilgrim..." Ayup, they shore do. Also...https://thehardtimes.net/news/female-bassist-suddenly-realizes-love-song/ Also, my (current) favourite female bass player:

Ayup.

We need to talk. I have a JP-8080, several E-mu modules (including the Morpheus), a Quadraverb GT...plus I spent a lot of time hanging out with rivetheads and goths in the 90s. I used to cite Skinny Puppy as one of my top 3 favourite acts...

Yeezh. Best wishes you all. And Brent, quit eating biscuits already!
