Anyone jumping on the Audeze sale? https://www.audeze.com/products/promo-2022?utm_source=B-Stock Sale EDIT: Well, I almost did. 20 minutes of trying to get into an existing account, that seemed not to exist until I created a new one with same email address, which then listed past orders so existing, ended up with a sold out LCD3 Zebrawood at payment stage. Damn. Oh well. $1K for photography gear I guess.

Definitely ways to make September feel like it's back to November.

Shantaram. Four episodes in and while it plays like the book is likely even better and can come across a little white savior-y, it's a pretty compelling story and well visualized. Highly recommended you check it out if you have AppleTV+. Alternatively the Hollywood Reporter calls it "sprawling, meandering and inconsistent." 😶

White Lotus 2. Great characters setup opening episode.

Lasse Thoresen's Lyden av Arktis (The Sound of the Arctic) from 2L. It's "an acoustic atlas: a musical expedition that reaches as far into the Earth’s interior as it does into our minds and souls. It stands both as a multi-dimensional cultural and historical fable and as an environmental statement — with a breadth that envelops hope, beauty and nature’s untamed forces, beginning with the Arctic wind’s warning whisper, and ending with humankind’s inevitable apocalypse." That last part signals how good this also would be for scary, loud, trick-or-treating music. Ex:

I dunno

For the hell of it, knowing nothing about the show, wanted to see if I could find a review of Alaska Daily that didn’t mention Northern Exposure. Rolling Stone? TV Guide? LATimes? Hollywood Reporter? Chicago Sun-Times? C’mon guys, there must be one. I give up.

Fun HoD finale.

Breaking news…

Is this next? It’s been sitting here unopened for a year.

Starting Alan Moore's Illuminations. All for a good take down.

Yea, same thought on Morphine, which guess if we’re all thinking of the same exception proves Stretch’s point. And whenever I think of Morphine I think of the Bay Area band Fuck. And just looking up Fuck for some playback, stumbled across a similarly named band… And more…
