That Trossard goal… *chef’s kiss*

Cheney provided the early blueprint for the current regime to carry out to even further extremes. I'd add that his list of contributions should also include running a PSYOP campaign of disinformation against your own citizens in an effort to increase & consolidate power, and oppress dissent.

the only thing you need to do today is get yourself a copy of new @ipekgorgun.bsky.social on @touch33.net which is excellent! 🔥 ipekgorgunreleases.bandcamp.com/album/earthb...

Finished my reread of 1Q84 a couple of days ago. Thoroughly enjoyed it the second time around. I do think book 3 drags a little bit at times, some of it because of Murakami’s attention to detail. Terrific book overall though.

Set. Piece. FC. Arsenal.

my recording of guitarist Jim Warchol @lakeicychill.bsky.social performing at the Jazz Gallery in Milwaukee a few days ago is now on the Milwaukee Taper blog, freely available for downloading in both lossless FLAC and high quality mp3 file formats: www.milwaukeetaper.com/2025/10/jim-...

Dryhouse Ruins. 🔜

Love. These. Brewers.

On this day in 1979, this was broadcast on NBC's 'Midnight Special' program. #thankyouverymuchRickJames www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAEC...

Just that annual reminder that the owners of the Cubs, the Ricketts family, are huge Trump supporters. Go Brewers! Forever and always.

Wow, a gutsy win for Arsenal in an environment where everything usually goes against them. BIG moment in the early season. COYG!

Crystal Palace, you glorious side, you. My second favorite team in the league! Way to go, Eddie!

Humans of Milwaukee are instructed to attend rh following concert at the Jazz Gallery: Jon Camp Band with ragenap+dathon supporting. Milwaukee legend Jim Warchol @lakeicychill will be opening up

Well Here it comes Here comes the sound The sound of confusion

What time is the rapture happening tomorrow? I’m going to ask Siri to set a reminder for me so I can get first dibs on all the crap getting left behind.

Finished Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman. Great collection of Murakami’s short stories. Now I am about to start a rereading of his magnum opus, 1Q84.

So wait, Mr. Show was a documentary and not satire? youtu.be/p5Oi57fqdU0?...

Out today. Guest appearances by David Sylvian and Juana Molina, among others. This is going to be on a a lot of best of 2025 lists this year.

I’m filling in at Acme Records this afternoon. If you’re in Milwaukee, stop in and say hi, and buy some records of course.

International dog day side eye.

What a rollercoaster of Arsenal emotions! The good: Eze, Gyokeres, Timber, Madueke, Dowman, Rice and Saka. The bad: Ødegaard and Saka both injured.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a striker! #gyokeres #arsenal

He’s worm food now.

Finished up a reread of after dark a couple of days ago. I forgot how much I enjoyed it the first time around. It’s a departure from the formula he typically used up to this point, where the story is told by a neutral third person observer.

Never lose again. #Brewers

Japanese artist Nobukazu Takemura has shared “an ephemeral radiant,” a new single from his upcoming album, knot of meanings, that captures his singular blend of electro-acoustic instrumentation with sublime, understated arrangements. klofmag.com/2025/08/nobu...

This was the Milwaukee River this morning near Estabrook Park. 11.5 ft above normal. We got clobbered last night.

Sun dog.

Well, he’s wrong. And it’s not even close.

Finished Kafka on the Shore yesterday. Amazing book, right up there as one of Murakami’s masterpieces. I feel silly having waited this long to read it, but it’s one of those books that will stay with you for a long time. Up next is a re-read of After Dark.

Pretty much sums up 2025 so far.

Listened to this yesterday. Coby and Liz picked a great track list for this one!

It's only fitting that Hogan was LOUDLY booed during his last appearance at WWE's WrestleMania this past spring, when he appeared with Jimmy Hart to promote his new non-woke beer—so much so that Michael Cole couldn't hide how bad the reception was for him. When you've lost even the WWE loyalists...

This is hitting very nicely this afternoon: Sa Pa - Ambeesh. Ambient dub in that blurry and grimy style that evokes the best Chain Reaction releases from years ago. Pushes all the right buttons for me. sa-pa.bandcamp.com/album/ambeesh

Finished this a couple of days ago. Jay Rubin, one of Murakami’s translators, wrote this in 2002, and it covers his work up to Underground and Sputnik Sweetheart. Good insight into the nuances of the original Japanese and how he and Alfred Birnbaum approached the English versions.

Good mail day today. Got the new LP from Satomimagae ‘Taba’, which is one of my favorites of the year so far. Got the ltd version directly from the RVNGINTL Bandcamp. https://satomimagae.bandcamp.com/album/taba

This made me think of when I worked part time at Ear Waves in MKE late 80s/early 90s. On Tuesday nights, when it would get close to the 9:30 closing time, Jandek was the go-to for the stereo when we had lingering stragglers. It usually got folks to hurry up.

Current hypothesis: Sachiko M is a time traveler from the future.

The new record by Siavash Amini @capgrasman.bsky.social is available today on the awesome Room40 label @room40.bsky.social. Siavash's body of work is expansive and ever more revealing with every listen. Caligo is so haunting and rewarding. siavashamini.bandcamp.com/album/caligo
