Happy Birthday!

I'm so looking forward to going back to a Comcast monopoly. Not.

Can spell, punctuate, construct a reasonable argument and appreciates Staxen -- I hope he sticks around. Everyone gets hit in the face with a shovel at first, JRU. It's a necessary recalibration from the other place.

Newbury Comics! I still listen to 'Til Tuesday. The new album is quite ... specific. Good (of course) but just really focused on telling a certain story in a certain mode.

Aimee Mann -- Mental Illness

You can't set up the joke and not deliver the punchline ...

Goldfrapp -- Silver Eye

Sorry HS. Cheers to GG!

Happy Birthday Doug. Hope you get five sets in!

Cut Copy -- In Ghost Colors

Favorite Alaskan band. Definitely.

Happy Birthday Indeed!

Well I still think the East Sussex "Burgundy" is going to be better than the Nizhny Novgorod.

The Jesus And Mary Chain -- Damage And Joy

The canon says that hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. I find no mention of grilled meats other than that if you don't eat them, how can you have any pudding?

He's not a South African, by any chance?* (*That would explain the two braais and the bodge job, though not the gas.)

Found Grahame's worst nightmare ...

Lloyd Cole -- In New York: Collected Recordings 1988 - 1996

Lot of online bitching about the 41mm size but I think they will sell a boatload of these bigger steel Datejusts. Including one to me. The blue sunray dial is so choice. Baton markers still a bit chunky but the larger dial helps in this regard.

The hammer is her penis.

Agreed. Top stuff. Sabine is great and I need a DB11 now.

Speaking of limited editions, yes please.

Mothership -- High Strangeness

Lovely! Linen dial and engine-turned bezel -- classic.

Yikes. Thicc!
