The bar stools on Aristotle Onassis’s yacht were upholstered in whale foreskin. Apropos of nothing.

Glass covers? Looks cool but ... reflections?

Porcupine Tree -- Deadwing

Did I read that right, it was minus one-fucking-hundred degrees windchill in NH today? Noooooo thank you.

Took delivery of the last of our orphan household goods, which have been sitting in a storage locker in Westborough, MA since 2010. OMG so much random and forgotten audio shit. At least I know someone local who might take the Talking Heads LPs.

Francis and the Lights -- Just for Us I dig it.

Happy belated! Sorry, I was drunk.

Think I'm going to go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for all this to blow over.

Yup, snapped awake in the middle of the night and didn't know why. A few seconds later, the shaking started. Believe the effect is due to the p-waves preceding the quake? Anyway, weird, and please notice that Brent had cleverly flown out beforehand to maintain plausible deniability.

The Streets -- A Grand Don't Come For Free One of those classics that you forget about and then every time it comes up on the playlist you are, like, OMG I can't believe I haven't listened to this for this long!

Um ... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2018/01/02/monster-storm-to-blast-east-coast-before-polar-vortex-uncorks-tremendous-cold-late-this-week/? Could make some crack about it being 60 degrees in CA today, but we catch on fire far too easily to start throwing regional shade.

That appears to be a Danish. Goodbye Scandinavia!

Would venture to say that I like pata negra as much as anything else in the world that isn't either made from grapes or commonly showcased in a bikini.

Do we have a running total of the various JHA offerings so far lost or destroyed by Head Case? Got to be close to double figures by now.

Technically, they blow.

Mr. Cave reviews the human condition (with Polish subtitles.) Harder and harder to disagree with him ...

Robyn Hitchcock — S/T This was right up there in my top albums of the year. A sprawling, pitch black humored, power pop treat.

Dug my old Mark 1 007s out of a packing crate today and spent a few hours listening. Not much wrong with those!

Born is the king! Happy Birthday!

Hopefully.

Happy Birthday!
