Dusty Chalk

I had some swordfish earlier that was just perfect. A little salty, could that be because they were breathing salt water their entire life, and I'm just more sensitive to it than I was almost 30 years ago, the last time I had swordfish this good, or was it because we're nowhere near deep sea, and they needed to preserve it to get here? Anyway, not complaining, just wonderin'.

Holly Herndon, Platform -- glitchy experimental electronica -- medigs! -- RIYL Oneohtrix Point Never, Grimes, Fever Ray, et al.

Happy belated! (party favour noise)

Pye Corner Audio, because Knucks.

So very 1978. My friend Pavan got married in traditional Indian garb -- I must say, I am quite jealous. So purple. Also, they already have a puppy together.

Sent in a bunch of rebates for guitar strings (~$360 dollars worth). Used forever stamps from ~10 years back, I think. Stopped by the new Mom's Organic Market that opened down here in Woodbridge. Bought $5 of stuff (I didn't really need anything, but wanted some peppermints). They gave me a goody bag worth over 5 times that. Profit! Also, customer for life. Discovered Ornery Beer Public House is opening.

Either that, or she's trying to stave off some sort of photographic attack.

No, I think he meant this one.

This. For some reason, I find the concept of being pooped on a major criteria for assholicness in creatures, and therefore birds win. Although plague rats would do it for me too if that were a realistic problem.

Well, I did find high-res download on HDTracks, if you care...

Thanks, Brent, that was actually really helpful. That said, I wouldn't mind armrests that fold away. I have a tendency to fall asleep in my desk chair, I really don't want to fall over and bump my head on something and knock myself out.

I need a chair without armrests for guitar practice. Bonus points if it can double as a desk chair. Any recommendations?

Calexico on SACD?!?!? Must track down... In the mean time, Onyx,

What's the update? Just curious. (I.E. can I use it on my phone now?)

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Why is that? Does it stop you after a certain 'quota'? If we (meaning anyone else besides you) post something after that (I.E. between two of your epic posts), does your quota get reset? Because we can do that. Wouldn't want to stifle this constant flow of entertainment.

...on Tidal. Before -- was the new Riverside -- wowzers! First Antimatter, then Pineapple Thief, now Riverside. I actually quite like it, but I suspect the hard rockers are going to be disappointed. Then putting on Antimatter because I them greatly.

Maybe he didn't know the words.

Carbon Based Lifeforms' new release...and some of the older ones. (Very much TestTone material.)
