These are all throw away test shots from today, but if anyone is curious what a 19 year old 5MP Kodak designed CCD camera’s COLORS are like (tweaked, but less than most of my images)…

Hope it’s a great one!

Ah, my Covid breakup (with humanity) album. Hope both bands were really good and you all had a great time. Most of the crowd blew it. "Like a young Linda Ronstadt at her country-folk finest, Courtney Marie Andrews writes songs that seem lived-in and familiar in the best way. "Guilty" is a time machine straight back to early 1970s Laurel Canyon: beautiful piano, easy drums, and vocals so warm and evocative you feel the heart and the hunger even if you don't know the words. (There are echoes of that other canyon queen, Joni Mitchell, as well, especially in the hiccupping chorus of the gently bubbling "If I Told.") But the words are pretty powerful. Written and recorded at the end of a nine-year relationship—meaning it lasted nearly one-third of her life—Old Flowers finds the singer-songwriter poking at the tender bruise of heartbreak. "This album is about loving and caring for the person you know you can't be with."

Can we start looping old posts and timelines like Westworld? Al, it’s taken eight years, but this is why people obsess about keyboards. How else would you ever get to… https://drop.com/featured/lotr

Ouch. You were supposed to do it under the sea.

Those last two episodes were really great. Perfect landing. As much as the series writing generally and main character were wonderful and the acting all around so good (Carol Burnett!), I want to say thanks for writing in more Mike Ehrmantraut (like the MCU, there should be a MTU where Jonathan Banks shows up on all shows when the plot gets ridiculous so Banks can reground them) and Kimberly "fuckin'" Wexler, who at least as much as Jimmy/Saul drew the moral line for us. Why doesn't Rhea Seehorn already have a newer entry on IMDB?

Happy birthdayish. 20,000 means you're the mightiest of them all!

[short clip] On a TV appearance toward the end of his life in 1988, Serge Gainsbourg was surprised by a choir of children (Les Petits Chanteurs d'Asnières) in full Gainsbourg regalia--black jacket, gray wig, sunglasses, Whisky, cigarette, unshaven-and brought to tears by their homage to one of his classics "J'e suis venu te dire que je m'en vais". https://www.instagram.com/p/ChKY0gDJhoQ/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Not sure if this is already widely known, but Cookie Marenco heard Laurie Anderson mention it, then did post to tell others. Radio Garden is a very cool app where you scroll the Earth to find radio stations.

Sylvester Stallone is of Italian and Ukrainian descent and Arnold Schwarzenegger has already asked Putin to stop. We have enough aging action heroes. Can we ask Zelenskyy to target HIMARS on Seagal specifically, you know for a world-wide morale boost?

I'm one of those 80s readers. Enjoyed too.

Here’s a good podcast of Gaiman talking about his choices in the TV series. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtf-with-marc-maron-podcast/id329875043?i=1000574611646

Fair enough, though stating the obvious - we're both four seasons in. 🙂 I suspect our next pretension test will be The Sandman, which will live or die under Gaiman (and us).

Was "pretentious TV" a typo or do we actually agree on Westworld? 😜

Independent of any interest in the looping timeline and slick visuals or for pay-off of time already invested, is anyone actually enjoying Westworld at this point?

Someone needs to help RI.

If you divide AK in half, TX is third, so four biggest?

Maybe because I'm struggling a little with this exact question, but found this video refreshing and thought others may enjoy too.

It's so good. Are you watching the original Vimeo show (now called High Maintenance Web Series on HBO) or the HBO version? Both incredible.

Thanks for posting. Glad he took the show more serious and think about the chicken scene a few times every year since it aired.
