The first photo "Candy Cigarette" is of the American photographer Sally Mann's own children, which I think gives it an added poignancy. To me, the subject seems to be literally looking beyond the childhood her siblings are still happily caught up in, and only the mother among them knows what that means at that moment. Mann caught a lot of flak for photographing her children nude and in emotionally raw situations, but the results are often truly beautiful in my opinion.

This was a pleasant surprise!

My favorite out of their last few.

Now this. The Flaming Lips -- Oczy Mlody

This.

Feel like this belongs here. Numpties!

Happy birthdays John and Frank!

Alec is 12 today and asked for a "proper bike."

Instant Pot method? Any good?

The Dean Ween Group -- The Deaner Album

Interesting. Ex-Sony and Philips people so not mugs. Looks to be well thought out and well built and the price seems reasonable ($5K for DAC/Amp and Phones). Sort of the anti-HIFIMAN?

I'm a HiFi subscriber and today the Masters category is empty for me. Worked fine yesterday.

Arrive JFK Feb. 3 @ 14:20, depart JFK Feb. 6 @ 20:50. Up for shenanigans in between.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't find it particularly useful or rewarding. Handed off to the wife, who does.

I nearly asked you that in the bike thread earlier.

Mastodon -- Once More 'Round The Sun

Brian Eno -- Reflection

The Radio Dept. -- Running Out Of Love A heavy album of deceptively light music.

Happy Birthday!

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Happy Birthday old bean!
