Just saw the Wedding Present for the first time, and this room is oozing with an overwhelming feeling of the early 90’s, but like if everyone was just, really, really, really tired.

Oh dang, I forgot about this place.

If this is the Worcestershire sauce, I don’t know if I’m ready for the Besterstershire sauce.

I just told the mourning doves in my yard to get over it already.

Just realized that the odds of me being the only person on Earth wearing a Lana Del Rey T-shirt and a Dead Moon hoodie are astronomically high.

Whenever someone mentions exfoliating, I think about how often I’m just standing around foliating without even realizing it.

Packages! I love packages.

Not many better 1-2 punches to open a record than "Candy Says" and "What Goes On."

The unveiling of Steve Albini Way will take place today, at 1 PM CST in Chicago! Watch the ceremony live, followed by a post-ceremony surprise from Electrical Audio at 2:30 PM CST. #ThankYouSteveAlbini

I’ve always loved the M.R. James ghost stories and their place in the British celebration of Christmas. Here’s a list of options beyond the classic BBC adaptations.

I just saw a post on Instagram (not allowing comments) about scrambling eggs with the steam wand on an espresso machine. My first job in Chicago was at Earwax, and we did this, using the same machine that all drinks were made with. No way in hell to clean that when busy. Still makes my skin crawl.

@bruceadams.bsky.social came to Milwaukee to talk about his excellent book, You’re With Stupid. His time at distributors and Touch and Go were discussed, as well as his time with Kranky. Hosted by Lion’s Tooth books, moderated by Michael Carriere, who is also writing a pretty neat book.

Wondering if they might take $1650.00, not sure I could justify anything higher.

Here is a photo of my dad and his brothers hanging out with family friends Duke Ellington and Clark Terry. I apologize for not knowing who the 3rd gentleman in this photo is, my uncle that archived everything wasn’t the most organized of the bunch.

It was so good to hang out with and see the Black Heart Procession again after 15 (!) years.

Yesterday, I got to catch up with a friend that’s been living in Serbia for 10 years. We discussed the election, how the U.S. is generally regarded, etc. I asked what people thought of Bernie, to which he responded “His ideas and policies are considered what should be the bare minimum.”

Love AND Rockets?!

I had an eye exam today and imagine that someone somewhere is pretty proud of themselves for the fact that I had to read C V N T out loud.

Went up to Door County for the first time this weekend. Tried to shoot a Timelapse of the Milky Way at a dark sky park, realized after over an hour that I hadn’t taken the lens cover off my camera. Heard a Great Horned Owl within a few feet of me, heard a fox screaming in the dark. Got this on my📱:

I swear I’m working on the next one, Tom.

Our new cat is so handsome (and constantly has the zoomies) that I can’t even take a picture of you.

Claude’s really making himself at home.

Whoops fell into Acme Records today

Just discovered Lou Reed’s ambient drone record “Hudson River Wind Meditations” this morning and I’ll tell you what - it’s a perfect soundtrack for this snow storm.

Stuck inside Milwaukee with the Memphis blues again (my wife is down there visiting family and gets to go to Payne’s.)

Is this thing on?

Briefly met Bill Murray with my dad at a minor league baseball game when I was a teenager, hugged my mom at ORD while watching Alan Thicke berate an airline employee for something entirely out of their control.
