I have an ex-work-colleague who's good friend was caught up in that crap, and he's in jail now. He wanted to be a MA State Trooper but was getting too old, so someone suggested he try for Baltimore PD. He got in, and stayed pretty clear of the bad crap. But it roped him up, in that he got calls by crooked cops asking him to bring a spare gun to a scene and the like. And even though he didn't, the records show he got those calls so he was included in the prosecutions. A really sad state of affairs....

Oh, man, my wife will especially be sad to hear that. RIP, and may his memory be a blessing.

Happy Birthday!

I've been loving some reaction videos, mostly to Heilung, recently. One favorite is a woman who goes by "The Charismatic Voice" and she is quite the Heilung fan-girl; she is amazing at picking music apart. Another was a woman, whose outburst of "Holy Shitballs" may be my single most favorite reaction expression....

Holy shit....brilliant and scary at the same time....he's gooooood......

RIP Marty, will raise a toast...sorry Mikey!

Happy Birthday Mr. Dad and DIY'er!

Rot in Fucking Hell.....glad to see this result, I WAS concerned that there was still missing evidence and they might not convict.....

Hope it was a great one, Craig (or if you are still awake, "is" a great one 🙂)

Kerala Dust - Violet Drive. Singers voice and the overall chill feel definitely reminds me some of The The, with modern touches....which is a good thing.

Very Happy Birthday!!

Loved this....

I use a bureau to store some of my stereo cables. One drawer each for IC's, speaker cable, and power cords. Cleaned out my speaker cable drawer, as well as consolidated some cables I had in my closet.... This - plus 2 other sets not in pic - is extra....Jesuit Christmas, I'm a hoarder! 🙄😄

The above 2 Mark's were indeed tough. Mark Lanegan, with various folks, did several very good Joy Division covers...makes me wonder if there was his "type" after Ian Curtis committed suicide, would he have been a good frontman for the band....

Got some new cables to try in my Pi-streamer/GaN amp system, pulled this out after many months, remembered how much I liked this. A bit "lively" sounding but good on a good stereo, too.

Feeling pretty awesome, and hoping I can do more..... I got the OK to take an old work laptop, as well as using one of my own. Wiped disks, refreshed OS (Windows 10 Pro OEM for ~$10!), and donated them via a local "Buy Nothing" FB group. One went to a woman who has no computer (does have a Smartphone but not always easy to do a lot on the small screen), and goes to the local library for computer work. Second went to a woman who's husband was just laid off, and they are keeping money tight - don't want to spend anything on even a used laptop right now. So this will help with his job search. I told the work folks who OK'd the one laptop how this turned out, and I'm trying to do more. We have some laptops that come in and are fully written off and removed from inventory. I'm now checking with the CIO and our Legal team, to see if I can do more of these refreshes and donations. Such a nice thing, I love doing this and hoping it can continue....

Very Happy Birthday Dan!!!

^^ Liked them a fair bit, along with some the Damon & Naomi "solo" work.....haven't heard all the latter, though

Very Happy Birthday!

Very Happy Birthday!!

Fucking snakes on a plane, wearing fucking hats!

Hope you have an awesome day Steve!

I do this all the time, where someone saying something to me will trigger a song in my head. Karen and I were joking about something, and she said to me, "Say it ain't so...." So I repeated it and added "Joe" at the end, and we discussed for a few minutes who sang that song (she didn't even remember it). So thank you internetz and youtoob:

Funny post on FB by a photographer friend, thought some might like....

Happy Birthday!
