Sinead O' Connor - I'm Stretched On Your Grave (live)

Hope it’s a great one!

I kinda like Morrissey slightly more today. https://variety.com/2023/music/news/morrissey-criticism-sinead-oconnor-tributes-1235681468/

Mr. Private Eye should probably calm a little down when meshing with Sinead.

PM incoming.

You pick the musical personality that defined the punk/rock attitude for you. Taking on the church or Frank Sinatra it’s always been her for me. Like a lot of soon to be parents I started thinking of the music I wanted to introduce to our child. Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds and O’Conner’s I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got were one and two. Celebrate the beautiful. Tear down the opposite.

That’s a generous offer. Thanks. Let me ask them.

Here are some silent films to watch until you have a solution. https://www.openculture.com/free-silent-films Also an AppleTV with Airbuds works for me.

These are nothing special, but been shooting the 5D Classic this week after awhile. Surprisingly stress-free and little post needed.

For those who miss innocent old Star Trek days...

How is it going to both implode and explode?

!!!!!! Congrats.

In related news a friend's niece is starting a beginners digital photo course and looking for a body and lens for <$500 new or used. The course description requirements were ridiculous, but translated basically said a camera you could get out of automatic mode and a widish lens. I said... 5D Classic + 35mm D700 + 35mm XT1 + 23mm Any others recommendations of the top of your heads gang?

Congrats and good to hear. Allí messed up the used prices again. I've been looking since I saw she was testing on IG. The number of D700 videos out there in the last few years are crazy. This guy, and his professional set, seems to make them every month.
