Tuscan bean soup. Nebbiolo. Will it ever stop fucking raining?

I rather enjoy The Oatmeal.

Happy Birthday!

Warren Zevon -- Transverse City

Well, I don't think Jimy Sumerville ever hid anything much, although he never could sing Enki anyway.

Damn it Grahame, I think they're onto us.

Tice punch? Might be too big for a Rega mount then, though.

Planar? I'd rather drill her!

Do you know how much paper it takes to gift-wrap a turntable? Yeesh.

Only if you come along to help with the wine pairing.

I wonder how fried possum would taste?

Radiohead -- The Bends Vinyl.

Reks speaks truth.

The Shins -- Oh, Inverted World Vinyl.

You know that's made from small animals, right?

Shelter 501 MkII. Oh dear oh dear etc. etc.

How about this for a deal? You scare up some Tactical Nuclear Penguin for CanJam and I'll bring some Utopias and we'll have a little ABV-off. Everyone else will be drinking GTS, so we'll be the sober ones!

"Tactical Nuclear Penguin" I've had a couple of the Sam Adams Utopias at 27% and, while they are damn fine, they aren't really beer.

Smashing Pumpkins -- Siamese Dream Vinyl. Brand new record and it's warped and noisy as hell.

Staxen. Also, bag of vinyl, size medium.

Happy Brewski Birthday!

Well, it's surely got to be at least a small step forward that you can immediately and legitimately snag CD-quality stuff from someone who has stuff you might actually want to buy? Like I just paid too much for all the Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire discs (files?) because there they were right there in my chosen format and I suddenly needed to hear them right fucking now.

Rhino | Digital Was news to me. Seems like a good thing generally, though I can't really see why the download should have to be more expensive than the equivalent physical media from their catalog?

Something about that sounds dirty.
