Ah shit. 😞 RIP Steve.

I have a bit of thing for Alex Cameron. Not like that Steve, it's the music -- promise.

Happy Birthday Todd!

Happy Birthday Bryan!

I may have eaten a little too much pie.

Oldie but goodie.

Agreed. Sorry Steve.

Happy Birthday Dinny!

That's their best song.

Their best yet I think.

First KEXP studio set since the pandemic and it's a banger!

Still clunking along on my 2014 27" iMac, which can't run any new versions of MacOS going forward. Pretty sure there will be a M1-powered iMac Pro along in the Spring next year, but I'm kinda tempted by the additional flexibility of a MacBook Pro + external monitor, even if I'd be using the laptop docked like 80+ percent of the time. And I could get that right naow, which is always better than waiting to be gratified. OTOH, I've been an iMac guy since the G4 lamp days and change is scary ...

This would not make it past the legal department anymore.

Sorry Todd. Families are complex. RIP Ann and my condolences to your dad.

Their new album is out next week. And any of the Marin contingent will recognize these landscapes.

I need a 32" iMac with an M1 Max in it.

I remember wearing out their first album on cassette 30 years ago. It was very bright and bouncy. This one is more informed with the melancholy of middle (and beyond) age. But there's still a lot to admire. How it started: How it's going:

An album that was very ahead of its time in 1989 and still sounds great today.

^^^ I second this one! Always had a soft spot for them and was kinda worried it would suck, which it does not.

Happy birthday Jim!

I got a tape of this album as a present for my birthday in 1984 right after it released and this is still one of my favorite soppy songs to this day. Also has the great Blasphemous Rumours. So I am listening to Some Great Reward.
