So great on so many levels...I can't even...I even like the music!...but yeah, pretty much everything about this...commercial?...is perfect. It's even yellow...

Fuck yeah

Cheers to that!

Happy birthday, Al! (party favour ... assemble! ... and make noise)

Daw!

Exactly. Please don't feel bad, I feel your inadvertent misspelling actually describes you more accurately. Cheers.

Oh, you are so getting classified as chill. I wish I was more chill.

RIP Chuck Berry.

Got my corned beef and boiled cabbage that I was denied yesterday.

Aye, classic stuff, that. Cheers, mate.

Closer to the Heart..less, a Spotify playlist put together by Pallbearer to give an idea of the sound they were shooting for with the new album. This is pretty hilarious, because it runs the gamut from ambient to prog to AOR to metal to shoegazer to 4AD to Gong to...yeah, pretty much anything and everything. Which is not at all my experience, listening to Pallbearer. But who knows, maybe they got injected with some wild creativity...

(squints) It does? Does it sound better or worse than MQA?

Yeezh.

It's possible my information is pre-2K. ...probable, even...

Yeah, my first impression was, "critical?", but...any difference is a difference, so it's not lossless. Lossless has a very specific meaning.

Yeezh. Are you punishing them, or teaching them how to deal with car mechanics?

Brad Mehldau, 10 Years Solo Live

Put me in the 'Brad great' camp. He's right up there with Keith Jarrett, as far as I am concerned. He only played one encore, because DC audiences, but it was a good'un -- the Beatles' "And I Love Her". But before his finale he explained that he was playing Bach, then a piece inspired by that piece by Bach, and with some improvisation mixed in. "...so this next piece will be another 'Bach/Me' pair..." (titters of laughter from the audience) I was really hoping for Exit Music, though, that would've been nice.

I should be fine, he started at 8 (I was worried he'd be more like a typical rocker and take the start time as more of a "no earlier than"), which means plenty of time to get back to the car. PS I have the best seat. It's crooked because my head is crooked.

Going to see Three Pieces After Bach tonight -- does he end early? I only ask because where I parked my car closes at midnight, so wonder whether I need to pull my car out before the concert, or if I can leave it there. I think I can still get out, so I'll probably just chance it.

You know this already, but them's not mine. Mine are...swarthy for lack of a better term. 'Hirsute' comes to mind. Unrelated, I want this suit (the guitar's pretty cool, too):

So how does this look: http://www.stompdelray.com/#menus Or this: https://www.yelp.com/biz/teds-bulletin-washington?osq=biscuits+and+gravy

I would've said, "I need the exercise". Sympathies and all that.
