Yes, but...REGAL EGGPLANT https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Electric-Guitar/MOD-RAM020614/Regal-Eggplant That said, I'm downsizing -- I will be selling 90% of my guitars. I even found a purple PRS Hollowbody that I forgot (!) I had. WTF is wrong with me? Don't answer that. Or ... I don't even know what this colour is (looks "mauve" to me), but I like it: https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Electric-Guitar/MOD-RAM020298/Metallic-Zinnia

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

No, it's Netflix. It might be a country thing. https://www.netflix.com/title/81167119

Main actress is the same as the one I was smitten with from Alchemy of Souls. Main actor is playing a handsome, charistmatic, eccentric, neurodivergent cat-lover. They accidentally move in together, not knowing they are opposite sexes. Hilarity and drama ensue.

Happy birthday, Colin! May all your skin stay on from this day forth. (party favour noise)

New Hania Rami

I guess I see what I want to see. 🤣

Is that my imagination, or does that say, "AspHat"?

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

He also did that Chess song... I think his brother was too small to make it big.

I think I blew one of the speakers in my car. I blame this song (at approximately the 1:24 mark): https://song.link/us/i/1457106550

They must've promoted it differently more accurately targeting its market. Success!

I actually need to read that next. I read Slant, not realizing it was book 4 in a series, and thought it was great.

One can also sample it on Bandcamp. https://kelela.bandcamp.com/album/raven

Also RIP Burt Bacharach. But Jesusfuckingaitchchristalmighty, my heart goes out to all of those in Turkey & Syria.

Ooh, thanks for the heads-up! I missed it entirely, AND he's releasing tomorrow.

Fixed. I blame LinkedIn -- they told me yesterday.

Damn. I read a lot of what he wrote. Condolences x like 4,000.

Happy birthday birthweek, @VPI/Woodworker/Jeff! (party favour [Illi]noise!)

I love Chris Rea. I usually hate blues (other than Robert Cray, Albert Collins, and other 80's blues guitarists), but his blues box set has totally ruined me -- it's entirely listenable, but now I can't listen to anything else any more.

Unrelated: Also listening to a lot of Piazzolla and Mats-Up is largely instrumental, so I've been listening to those as well.

No, not really. "3." was just incorrectly placed, as I CBA to find the "therefore" symbol. I fixed it for you. (not entirely -- the indenting is still fucked up. ) EDIT: okay, now I really fixed it She's amazing. I've seen her live. Pretty sure she has tied Alice Sara Ott and outpaced Hélène Grimaud as my favourite living pianist.
