Thanks all! Work is sucking so the day was ugly.... But son Andrew and his GF Amy came by late afternoon, and we spent some time and went to dinner. A few tears where Karen wondered if we'll be able to do the same next year. 😪 But we then focused on the now and had a wonderful dinner.... Heading to New Orleans next week with my 2 best friends and significant others. We all turned 60 this year. Looking forward to that!

🤣 I got that same question form Karen when I was listening to Diamanda Galas' "Plague Mass"

Happy Thanksgiving and all the days after! Wonderful day spent with family!

Happy Thanksgiving all US HC-ers (and those who celebrate but elsewhere)!

Happy Birthday Bryan!

RIP Jim.... When I was I think 13, my brother got a friend and me into Kentucky Fried Movie. Little did I know then that the makers would become some of my favorite comedy film creators! Need to watch Top Secret and Police Squad (TV series) again now....

Craig, you need to watch the movie Slapshot.....!

Happy Birthday JP! Hope it was a great day!

Awesome work, Nate! But oh, my: "...make Lily a parking space beside the driveway." Is time flying that much?!

Belated Happy Day! Hope it was grand!

^^^ Yes, definitely check out her earlier stuff. @Dusty Chalk would likely have even more recommendation specifics....

RIP Tarzan! Such a tragic story of his son and wife.....! https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/12743284/tarzan-ron-ely-son-murder-wife/

Loved 4AD and many of their artists, especially Cocteau Twins. Weird connected story indeed, though!

Happy Birthday Marc! May you feel good and enjoy immensely!

That was no lisp....

Happy Belated B Belated Happy Birthday! It's not the day that's belated, it's me. Hope it was great!

^^ But do they say that when they're wearing their lingerie?? 😄

The older Stranglers stuff is awesome. One of my best friends moved here from England in the late 70's, brought us his taste in music with The Jam, The Stranglers, etc. Since then, he's seen them many a time, met them all, is part of some informal (and also another formal IIRC) fan club. And most recently, took his 3 kids to visit family and see the latest incarnation of the band in a town where his cousin lives. And his most exciting part was that the original drummer's (Jet Black) widow - who is close with many of the fans - invited him and his kids to stay with her one night. Lots of stories, boatloads of memorabilia, and he got to "hold Jet Black's ashes" in the urn. As creepy as it sounds, he said she was a wonderful hostess and they all had a great time. I haven't listened to much of their output since Hugh Cornwell left. I also got to meet them in 1983, when a guy in my dorm was a co-op for CBS records. They owned the sub-label the Stranglers were on, and we got to take JJ Burnell to a local college radio station for an interview. Some great memories.... All THAT diatribe said....I hadn't heard that Prong cover before, and it's quite good!

Some more FB funnies

Very scary and sad. Even as a Jew, I can't support this. Hamas needs to be gone, but so does the right wing in Israel.... God forbid if Trump wins. Aside from all the other Hell we'd get, he'll let Netanyahu do whatever he'd like!

^^ I was literally listening to some Champian Fulton music last night! What a fun show that must have been!

Happy Birthday Wayne!!

Very Happy Birthday Jim!!

One pic from Iceland and some other funnies from FB (Harmlessly passing your time in the grasslands awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy 🙂) (For Ric of course)

Happy Birthday!!
