Apropos of nothing in the above discussion, Luis tries croissants in Paris while the city riots. I have to imagine the smell of burning garbage tainted the enjoyment of that particular croissant. You had me at your first sentence. I have big issues with the two-party system when both of them are as extreme and broken as they are. I mean, how bad is it when we STILL have to worry about Trump getting into the white house?

I'm tempted to get this, because I am least familiar with Dio-era Dio. I know Rainbow and Black Sabbath era Dio quite well, though. Me, however, rn: https://poil.bandcamp.com/album/poil-ueda Wack good French prog with traditional Japanese vocalist and Biwa player.

Sorry, this guy is just wrong. The smoky/sour/sweet/salty combo of a barbecue chicken pizza with pineapple is magical. And if you want to go crazy with the three-ring-circus-on-your-tastebuds, try adding hot Jalapeño peppers and black olives on top of all that. I had this just the other day. It was sublime.

Take your time and baby your throat. It's now all irritated and doesn't trust food, air, liquid, etc. Make sure to take slow inhales and fast but not damaging exhales, and let your mucus do it's work (bringing up the last bits out of your lungs). I wish you feel completely better with no side effects soon.

Noice! The analog espresso is the best out of the three I tried (analog, organic, and I forget the third one). It's my favourite store-buyable coffee by far, and not just because it says "black cat" on it. 😺

Cigarettes after Sex. A lot of it. (Dream pop with a slight tint of melancholy)

Did no-one think to use a trebuchet? Or was that against the rules?

Would've liked, other than the ginger-shaming one.

I recently found out that they are considered portents of war in ancient times:

Bonus track from recent slightly expanded edition:

That's kind of what I was trying to evoke, thank you for picking up on that.

Missed opportunity: "nibbles with Brits"? 🙃

Exactly my reaction to some of his previous work -- a bit too religious, to the point impossible to ignore (Jesus Christ the Exorcist, etc.), but the music's so great, I listen to it anyway.

In the mood for some slowcore? Say no more: Cigarettes After Sex: It's like dreampop, except without the uplift. And maybe less reverb. @VPI-- considering you like Cowboy Junkies, you might like this.

https://www.google.com/search?q=red+hot+cherry+peppers I know they're tomatoes, but I'm just imagineering.

There's an inn in town called Relax Inn that I jokingly refer to as one of four Miles-Davis themed hotel/motel chain. (There's also the Twi-Lite Inn which I jokingly say inspired a book series about vampires, but that's irrelevant...WEEEELL, they bothj are.)

I'm confused. Once you toss them, don't they become one salad?

Wait, Oppo (that Oppo) has a phone?!?!?

(insert serenity GIF here -- the one where Mal tries to come up with a retort, and fails, a look of mild exasperation crossing his face)

Neighbor(s) with a drill press/large calibre firearm and/or high-speed camera. See also: fire/napalm. See also: degauss (those are magnetic heads, aren't they?) See also: put them in zip drive cartridges and watch them commit click-of-death suicide. 🙃

For fans of harsh vocals, metal, and sugar:

Schmidt Learning Modern C++ for Finance by Daniel Hanson ...and other books on: Quantum Computing, Quantitative Finance, Embedded and Real-Time software development, Modern C++, and other technically challenging topics. I really need to settle down, but brain go brrrr...someone should not have given me an O'Reilly account. Oh, wait, I did. 🙃

OHMIGOSH, you're JUST hearing it?!?!? I wish I were you. Unrelated, I am LOVING Pinky Doodle Poodle. Japanese Garage Power Pop WAT!

Happy belated birthday! Sorry I missed this due to my inability to differentiate resurrected threads from new ones, I hope your day/week/month has been grand! (party favour noise)

Miles is sporting a PRS in the first pic. I'm jealous. I used to lust after a Neal Schon sig, it's a freaking beast of a guitar. https://prsguitars.com/privatestock/gallery_guitar/neal_schon_limited_run
