we got the bleat

Hey @drakeduck.bsky.social , what are you doing in Canada?

If you live in the PNW, you've seen RANGO up.

free hur

Before they had a Music Factory

They just don't make product spec credit rolls like they used to. This banger from the end of the 1981 JVC KY2700-32 Color Camera reel is a treat. I just want to crawl into that orange color, listening to this song forever. #retrowave ( via eyesofageneration m*ta group )

This is me. Is it you, too?

My beloved Presidents of the United States of America have finally dug up and released their "farewell" concert from Seattle (01/31/1998) and aired it on SiriusXM this past President's Day and... holy shit it was everything EVERY GOD DAMN THING I had hoped it would be since hearing they recorded it.

"what are you working on?" even if I took my time it would be hard to describe.

I was trying to do one thing but then the program hallucinated and made this and now I want this too.

"we used to go on the computer"

Why would they package it in 100mg single serve if they didn't want you to take the whole thing?

"Fresh Up" Freddie 7 Up 1957-1959 Freddie and other chickens like him gave Americans advice on how 7 Up could "fresh" them up during their daily activities. Named after bottler Fred Lutz Jr., created by Disney's commercial division and voiced by Paul Frees, who would return to voice 7 Up's Undeer.

RIP to a true pioneer. Jon Absey, the original Utah Jazz Bear, passed away. #mascotsky ( via Alinco Costumes )

I don't know what it is about Disney specifically but despite everything being made with passion by artists I can't help but feel like I am Engaging in the Consumption of Cultural Commodities, like I just watched an hour and a half long commercial for the plastics industry

This song came up on shuffle and I did not change it?? Definitely one of those Christmas In Name Only ("CINO") kind of songs. Also, why isn't Rag & Bone Buffet on streamers?

Huge fan of this quote from RL Burnside regarding his thoughts about his later albums.

easy

The Tigard Plaza sign at the edge of the parking lot at the aforementioned strip mall is a real survivor and endangered species. When in Tigard Oregon I highly recommend dropping by!

I walked two steps onto somebody's driveway who had a funny little stub of sidewalk attached to it, laughed and then moved on. A few steps away I hear "HEY YOU SOME SORT OF IDIOT OR SOMETHING?" from behind. Me: "I'm sorry?" Homeowner: repeats self Me: "I don't know, sir. I must be." and walked away

Terrific day off, aimless walking winding up at Banning's restaurant (think Perkins or Shari's or Shoney's or anyplace with pies rotating in a case) Hope your day has been fun too!

We will continue to fund PBS out of our pockets because we deserve more specials about Sun Ra. #pbs #sunra

If you spring for UV resistant print, your stickers will last a very long and vivid time. These have been here at least 3 years in Oregon weather and still looking fresh. #stickersky

His name is Rochester, he is a rooster, he is alive and well here in the Pacific Northwest! Maybe you'll see him at this year's Furlandia??

Look I don't want to overdo it but Billy Joel's YouTube channel has been on fire uploading 70s concert footage.

We have a community garden plot for a few reasons: - like to grow things, don't like to grow them in our yard - like to get involved in our local community - like being a part of something that beautifies our neighborhood See if your local parks & rec system has a similar program in your area!

A new massage parlor opened near us and their branding is

"...they sound like The Strokes meet blah blah blah" like homie if I want to hear The Strokes I will listen to The Strokes. I want to know what Geese objectively sound like. Because yeah I listened and I don't understand where that comparison came from??

this is what peak demand looks like

Not sure if they like Canadian band Rush or not. Need a couple more indicators. #rush

IMO, an iconic modern photo of me, if you were wondering.

It's never about the money but man $4 is $4

Show tonight. And then I guess my birthday later in the month?? (it's not) #pdxmusic #musicsky @vardamanens.bsky.social

Shot this time lapse while we enjoyed coffee & a dessert in Nordstrom Cafe in Washington Square Mall. I've done a few of these.

Thank you random person a world away for teaching me about what coddle is, are there any other recipes the world would like to tell me about?

I cannot recommend the YouTube channel CityBirds enough. I often autoplay their duck and bird videos and it's very cool youtube.com/@city_birds

Signal boost. Don't selfie at events. Or make this a social media clout chase. Much less give your location. Go there. Be aware. Get loud. Stay safe.

Border Patrol? Perhaps they are confused: Minneapolis residents are able to cross into St. Paul completely legally and vice-versa. What border are they patrolling again?

Next @vardamanens.bsky.social is this Saturday at The Snug in Portland OR! We will be playing new material, probably (add'tl rehearsal pending) I will play the drums, H will play guitar, Alex will play synthesizer, @tibolf.com will play bass, and you (presumably) will be the audience. It costs $0.

Sorry ants, you don't belong in my house. Since I asked you to leave and you said "🐜🐜🐜🐜" I had no choice but to put out poison.

Innocent people don't need pardons

Nobody, at any point during my education or career counseling, informed me that "Professional Agitator" was a field I could get into - let alone that it was such a high-demand industry.

I'm learning ASL but I'm really early on and I only know super rudimentary basics so far and today I tried "MY BABY DOES NOT LIKE SIGN. I LIKE EATING. CAN MOOSE SWIM?" with my deaf co worker and I knew I got it right because she laughed audibly and did the sign for "CRAZY"

Stop right now, thank you very much, I need somebody with a fuzzy touch. #furlandia @spicegirls.bsky.social @bear-paw-patches.bsky.social

A trusted friend looked at some of the new material I'm working on and without prompting likened it to work from the 90s, which I absolutely appreciate and admit that is the physical/no corner-cutting vibe I'm going for.

We do?? One left?? If you enjoy the sounds of B-52s and gibberish (the thing, non-derog) then I have a 7" record for you. #musicsky

We were watching this Liberace interview last night and the man's cigarette ash absolutely steals the show. ( youtu.be/bBHehw9Bfw8?... )
