Dinner at Deviant's Palace was the book that got me into Tim Powers and it still has a special place in my affections. Last Call is his best work though. Fight me.

Hard though it may be to believe, I used to have Curt Smith's exact hairstyle pictured here.

Have been an iMac loyalist since the lamp model, but not sure I want a huge slab of screen in my office anymore. Seriously tempted to try a 13" iPad Pro as the main computing device. Can't run Roon though I don't think?

Jokes aside, it does seem like Apple has finally embraced the Mini, which it always treated like a red-headed stepchild.

It’s funny because it’s true!

Looking forward to the new album, which is produced by Jack Antonoff (Bleachers, Lorde) and titled Norman Fucking Rockwell.

Going in tomorrow to view and decide.

And, inevitably, I just listened to it again.

Lol. Well at least they re-rated Remain In Light a 10 to make up for it. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/talking-heads-remain-in-light/

Greta Van Fleet -- Anthem of the Peaceful Army Zepp pastiche or young folks re-engaging with rock, your call.

Was expecting a gallon jug and we get a thimbleful.

That exists! Not like I'm going to tell YOU where it is though.

Maillard reaction working its magic.

Fappy Birthday Dusty!

Pfft. Colin could eat that on his own.

Prematurely touted a Lange once before but hope this one won't get away. Have been looking for a year or so, they are like hens' teeth.

Wack.

You don't get to say this every day, but I bought (most of) a goat from a guy right around there in Leigh. We made curry out of it. Goat curry is the tits.

Travel loot. Claridge's dark chocolate almonds. I was just going to have the one ...

That looks like the North Downs?

Happy Birthday, Carl!

Happy Birthday Iain!
