I've got an appointment for my first vaccine on Saturday morning

Me too, and my wife a week later. Did not expect to get an appointment today (last time I tried the DC vaccine website crashed after 3 whole minutes). My father in Texas is getting his second dose this afternoon.

https://static.next-episode.net/tv-shows-images/huge/fringe.jpg Finally it's on here in its native language & I love it. It's a bit batshiat in places, but I really don't care. Oh, I loved Fringe . It's like The X-Files crossed with Altered States to start, and then it really gets going.

I ve found that very few artists can publish lyrics and make them stand alone poetry without having music...exceptions to this are Leonard Cohen (no surspise), Nick Cave (sometimes) and Pet Shop Boys (surprisingly) , and some early SIsters, up to and including some of FLAA. (this is all very subjec...

You just continually turn me on to good stuff

I am pretty sure that this thread and the Saving Country Music website are my only sources for new music these days.

I thought the lyrical analysis was quite compelling, actually. It was one of my favorite elements of the book.

I was amazed to find it on CD in ...

I remember buying that on cassette.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vAaWHrov3o Metropole , by the Lawrence Arms. I'm not one for pop-punk, really, but this is an outstanding record, filled with saudade and excellent songwriting. If you can only check out one song, make it this one (first thing I ever heard by them): https://www.youtu...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akXRRKiRgr8 Nostalgia is death. But this record is fantastic, and I can still remember purchasing it (on cassette, after getting off work as a teenager), having read a review in Thrasher magazine that began with something like "I don't normally like the favorite music...

They were a killer live band back then, assuming they weren't too drunk. They really should have pa...

Zoon, at high volume, whilst barreling through the Tennessee night in a rented camaro (black, of course) with my brother in law. 13 hours to go.

I am sorry to hear it, Bartek. Get well soon, all y'all.

FWIW, Gift is one of my all-time favorite records, and I'd love a remastered version. But If Andy is in a position where he doesn't actually need to do these things, then good for him (as much as I'd like this and a new record).

I wonder why they used a mirror image of the Moon If I had to guess, the designer wanted the treeline to look like it is descending, and since we read left-to-right in the West, flipped it that way. Just a guess though. Now that I am thinking about it, it also helps create a sense of motion from le...

Mulled Guinness. It’s surprisingly good.

dealing with identity theft (which has thankfully distracted me from events 14 blocks west of me yesterday. What a weird thing to be thankful for).

Waiting for a new range to be delivered for our kitchen... only to get a call telling me the truck broke down and we’ve got to reschedule for Monday or Tuesday.

Here’s a very interesting (and technical) piece on the vaccine by Jerry Coyne (emeritus, Chicago): https://whyevolutionistrue.com/2020/12/ ... f-science/

Lithuanian Christmas pop all day today

I can't be the only person who now looks at tour dates and thinks "I'll buy a ticket for the last one", as it might be the last one.. Cos there will be a last one. And then thinks about how the feck do |I get there? Which was Madrid (exciting|!) and is now Wroclaw... We had tickets to the show in T...

I've had it on all morning while slogging through term papers and final exams, and enjoying the first snow I've seen since 2018.

I like the Bad Seeds plenty, too, though I lose interest in the band around the same time Blixa Bargeld lost interest in the band. I can't even wrap my head around what the Birthday Party must've been like live. I remember the first time I heard them I was just floored.

What a phenomenal band they were. I still ...
