I remember wearing out their first album on cassette 30 years ago. It was very bright and bouncy. This one is more informed with the melancholy of middle (and beyond) age. But there's still a lot to admire. How it started: How it's going:

An album that was very ahead of its time in 1989 and still sounds great today.

^^^ I second this one! Always had a soft spot for them and was kinda worried it would suck, which it does not.

Happy birthday Jim!

I got a tape of this album as a present for my birthday in 1984 right after it released and this is still one of my favorite soppy songs to this day. Also has the great Blasphemous Rumours. So I am listening to Some Great Reward.

Thanks gents!

I'm thinking a full-power iPad mini is going to be a great fit for a lot of people. Going to upgrade the kids from XRs to 13s at Christmas and just deciding on color for my 13 Pro Max -- the new blue is a little too powder puff and the gold is OTT, so I guess we're back to the good old black or white?

Bonus points for that is totally West Marin unless I miss my guess? @Voltron @TMoney @Grahame @swt61

Love me some War On Drugs. New album!

Didn't know I needed a synth-country cover of this one, but as it turns out ...

Utterly insane. I couldn't average 4m35s pace for 100 meters. 🥵

Paging Dr. Wood.

Happy birthday, stranger.

Congrats man!

Happy belated birthday!

Their big mistake is actually making money in the first place.

And they are going public. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/grill-maker-traeger-files-for-ipo-11625607293
