Dusty Chalk

You wouldn't want that. The Tinesort Consortium will be after you for that one. I think it's a violation of the 1972 Stifle Act to Prevent Distribution of Unauthorised Inset. You know, there's something satisfying about breaking those nibloid moulds but for some reason the fixture waneshafts are always void. I find it's best to apply some regular T.Consortium Verified Vaseline Product to the shafts regularly to prevent them from oxidising into void. You lost me, I thought voiding was a result of dadaist retrodeconstructionism (Or is it autodeconstructionism? I always forget. I'm such a plebe), not oxidizing. How does Vaseline help? according to General Electric, the purpose of the Encabulator is to measure inverse reactive current in unilateral phase detractors with display of percent realization.

Yeah, way too young.

Happy birthday, Dan! (party favour noise)

Sorry for the oversharing, not looking for sympathy, but stop reading if "Dusty oversharing" might offend you. I started the year by puking my guts out. I think it was food poisoning, but I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary -- just my usual goulash, black bean noodles, wine. Earlier I had a turkey, jalapeno, plant-based-cheese, and bread sandwich, with a couple Grillo's Pickles spears -- all things I've had before. I think it was the wine, but it didn't taste off. That should speak to how bad my palate is. So I had some bread, rice noodles and tea yesterday, and I'm feeling ~91% better, going to continue to take it easy today. Might go out and get some saltines. And just for the record, I did take my temperature, and did not have a fever, so I doubt it's The Covid.

RIP Weebl and Bob

Sounds like Depeche Mode

For those into synthesizerism, this was a nice hour or so of animated fun:

Happy new year, y'all!

RIP MF Doom

He's just abrasion-averse.

Some heroes don't wear capes.

So to answer my own question, I didn’t have to go back very far. That Sound was on Wild Mood Swings, but wasn’t on wish. But it was perfected on Bloodflowers.

Cure, Bloodflowers I am really enjoying the long form songwriting on this. The third song started (“the world is neither just nor unjust” caught my attention) and it felt like I was much further into the album than I was. I also noticed I was really enjoying the guitar tone. The big, expansive one, sounds like I’m watching them in concert. So I’m going backwards in their catalog until I figure out when it started, because I’m pretty sure it’s not on Head on the Door.

Peter Gabriel is

Much obliged! 🙏

I want one! Do they come in size “fathead”?

Incorrect. > The basic idea is that if the name (in the above example, “Jessie”) is the only thing in the world described by the identifier (“my oldest friend”), use a comma before the name (and after it as well, unless you've come to the end of the sentence). If not, don't use any commas.

Happy birthday to our lord and saviour, Ric! (party favour noise)

Survived Whamageddon2020!

Augsburger is sus. In related news, I survived Whamageddon2020! Just learned it was 00:00 of the 25th, not 26th, so I am feeling great relief and will probably sleep soundly tonight. Scammers notwithstanding. I hope he (the real Augsburger) is okay. Someone want to call him and make sure he's not lying in a ditch somewhere?

I'm not clicking any suspect links. I learned that 25 years ago.

Happy birthday, Ken! (party favour noise)
