Young The Giant -- Mirror Master Straightforward, but enjoyable.

Don't miss that. On the other hand, nothing appears to be on fire.

Too much dying right now. Let's stop for a bit.

Sorry Wayne. Missed your post because I was so shell-shocked on scrolling up to Antonio's. I hope your friend is at peace now.

So sorry, Antonio. To be so sudden -- it's terrible.

The greatest letter ever written. What a rollercoaster ride.

CHVRCHES with acoustic/orchestral arrangement. Didn't know I needed this but turns out I do! Hansa Session EP.

for the food. for the feels.

William Goldman, author and screenwriter and keen observer of many things. RIP.

I get kind of a The Knife vibe from this.

Looks flammable. Wouldn't fly in Cali.

V8? Fuck me. That's what lower-quality red wine is for. Will accept Guinness in a pinch.

It has an energy for sure! Speaking of which, YouTube served this up tonight. They get me.

Needs moar Special Edition.

Apart from his creative contributions, he seemed like a cool guy too. RIP Stan.

Hope he's wrong.

Have also reread a bunch of William Gibson since you posted Count Zero in September, and sincerely thank you for it! This, naturally, led to some Neal Stephenson as well. Currently on Seveneves -- which may be an over-reach.

Roasted a 2 lb prime rib and ate it. No grilling allowed at the moment due to horrible air quality from the wildfires. Turned out fine.

Happy Birthday dude! What's going on with you, haven't had an update for ages?

Happy birthday Mikey!

His new album of the same name is out today and is pretty great if you like that sort of thing.

I'm not too proud to like poppy stuff. Bit more punk tonight.
