New Order -- Music Complete This is really good. I didn't give it enough time when it was first released.

Good Stuff. Honorable mentions to: Humble Braggers Hans Gruber and the Die Hards Texas Chainstore Manager

Are you trying to add some extra insulation against the NorthWest winter?

Dusty you might like this too.

Happy Birthday!

I'm sorry, did you say it comes in a "wine" finish? Because I thought you said that. http://www.ttvjaudio.com/Apex_Pinnacle2_Ultra_Headphone_and_Preamplifier_p/aaa00000070.htm

Alex Cameron, pisstake as decent art.

She's still invited here!

Gave up on Family Guy many moons ago but it still has one recurring gag that always makes me smile ... PS: You now have that in your head the rest of the weekend. You're welcome.

Also, The Register sucks.

I think he would certainly argue this! The first album I ever heard of theirs was after peak Lynne -- Time in 1981 -- but was also probably the first "concept" album I was ever somewhat aware of (at 11) as a coherent narrative/thing. Fully blew my tiny sci-fi loving mind. Wait, full disclosure, I also saw "Xanadu" in 1980 and it gave me feelings about Olivia Newton-John that I didn't know what to do with.

A bunch of ELO.

Had the soccer carpool today and the 12-year-olds made me listen to "Gucci Gang" several times while conducting an animated discussion about who drinks more lean, Lil Pump or Smokepurpp. I'm not super optimistic about the future generation ...

Ta. Updated.

Dinner leftovers for breakfast. Rack of lamb, carrots, white bean puree. Is 9:30 am too early to open some wine?* (* Yes, it is.)

It is so good. I play it in the car when I want to piss off my kids.

Happy Birthday!

Needs beer.

This is a genuine recorded conversation, from the UK government archives. Miss those guys!
