dinner = coppa, brie-like cheese, quince paste, baguette, orange wine. i’m fancy. 🍷🧀🥖

frankly amazing my family hasn’t kicked me out yet. 📀📀📀 #tinyeasel

me when I pull up to my favorite cocktail bar and see a “closed for private event” sign on the door.

no, i’m not buying that Power Station box set.

now that i’ve paid $$$ for the two Soft Cell early tapes/demos CDs Some Bizzare released twenty years ago they’ll certainly announce a 2xCD reissue soon. you’re welcome.

you know it’s autumn when…

can anyone identify that lamp?

Pluribus is 5-star, 10/10, no notes. superb smart sci-fi.

feels like we’re on the cusp of…something.

It’s #CDFriday! It’s #CDMadness! Just a ridiculous haul the past few weeks. Couldn’t scratch that itch hard enough. Didn’t mean to buy mostly Cherry Red stuff but they’re doing what Rhino used to do, only far better.

btw it’s right about 12 likes and your post ends up in some algorithm feed where blue hearts, bots, nutbars find it and glom on.

only just now seeing The Church dropped a new track today from their upcoming album (recorded in Austin). youtu.be/duDu89KsAdE?...

Astonishing record

#CDfriday still happening here with CREEL bleep-bloops. 🎛️📀 #tinyeasel

choose your fighter.

i generally think ppl can tell fiction from reality, but movies have made it difficult for ppl to recognize the state of things when it doesn’t look like the movies. we are living in the cyberpunk dystopia *now*. sorry it doesn’t look just like Blade Runner or The Matrix.

Wojciech Kilar on the #tinyeasel for #CDfriday. 💿📖🔥

finally.

#CDFriday with Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions. Another great debut album that holds up beautifully 41 years later #NowPlaying

Oof.

Time to try the buzzy Khao Man Gai place. 🐓🍚🥢

The beep is back. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

open bar

unsurprising x-files vibes from Pluribus. always nice to see something that’s actually *written*and *directed*.

Are “Music Critics” Electric?

This has been on the wantlist for years, and now I'm tempted to add every single piece of batshittery ever released by Wergo's Spectrum sub-label, some wonderfully weird shit in there from an era in 80s Germany where clearly every beardy weirdo in Europe fancied themselves as the next Stephan Micus

Physical media is Freedom. 💿 #CDfriday

Propaganda’s Wishful Thinking is playing at the coffee shop. ☕️⚙️

It’s not because these guys misinterpreted the dystopian warning messages, it’s because these are the kind of assholes that want that dystopia.

I finally figured it out.

good news from David J and IPR.

Nono. #tinyeasel

MJ: But why? Why? Guy 1: I don’t know, Michael, it’s just human nature. *cut to MJ in the studio recording “Human Nature”*

And I’m also keen to alert you to this new edition of Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook

There’s not a day goes past that I don’t miss Tony Bourdain, great man, great friend, great writer. Nothing can make up for the loss of him, of course, but it’s wonderful to hear his voice live from the page in the compellingly brilliant Anthony Bourdain Reader edited by Kim Witherspoon.

following up with what must be the anti-TG.

scraped the rare 1981 TG soundtrack from youtube. 💀

jfc I'm tired of apps that have an update to download every damn day. nice that you're fixing bugs, but a certain point it's juts intrusive to my workflow. unless it's a critical defect, bundle that shit.

❝I got a letter from [founder and singer] Genesis P-Orridge and it said, ‘Sure, send us $50.’ So I sent them a $50 bill in an envelope, and a month later the reel came in the mail. Just like that. It was like, what the fuck?❞ www.austinchronicle.com/screens/new-... 🙌 @quartzcity.bsky.social

now spinning disc 2, the extended mixes.

happy hour

I knew Lorde was alright. (I still haven’t read this!)

New Necks triple CD…

Rama always looking like she’s about to drop an amazing album of synth explorations on RVNG.

Necks and coffee. 💿💿💿☕️ #tinyeasel

Here's Savage Republic, Live at the Melkweg 87, on Staaltape. Most of my Staaltape cassettes are Pink Dots, but I always loved this as like a crossover. One day I'll photograph my huge pile of IPR items. I so appreciate these labels who made all releases big & beautiful!!

Alice Zawadzki back on the #tinyeasel Highly recommended.
