Dusty Chalk

Joey Alexander -- freakin' CHILD good at jazz under 20 and already has 6 albums out? WTAF

Happy birthday, head Headamp guy! (that's actually a lot of fun to say out loud) (party favour noise)

I'm a huge fan of Nando's (marinade, not rub). I prefer it on chicken, but it works well on pork as well.

New Porcupine Tree -- sounds like they picked up where they left off after an almost 13 year hiatus. Mehappy.

Condolences, Jeff.

But there i...oh, you said, "easy"...

(party favour noise) (Sorry, had to)

Was trying to think of something snarky yet respectful to say...came up with this: Sorry, couldn't figure out a way to work "brexit" in.

Dir en Grey, Phalaris Extreme metal, proggy

Having made Thai curry from ingredients, I highly recommend trying the recipe -- you get the additional uncredited ingredient of *pride*, which just makes everything better.

Me, though: Gentle Giant, Playing the Fool (The Official Live)

Just some of the things I've been listening to over the past month:

Did you watch them on Marc Rebillet's/AmazonMusic's twitch stream last night, "We Got Company"? It was pretty fun. Looks like it got taken down (probably because they swore and played Twister).

Actually, $1.2K for a Macbook Air is pretty reasonable. Definitely considering it. I really wish it came in mauve, though. Fuchsia would be too much of a stretch for them, but they could at least do a dusty rose or the like.

Friggin' sweet, Shelly! That semi-octagonal shaped room would be great for acoustics...or terrible, I don't know. Might be easier to defeat the single node if it's a regular octagon...

DJ Cummerbund is on TikTok!

Made some guisada -- it came out great! -- pretty similar to my recipe for ghoulash, except added achiote seeds to get that distinct flavour and almond flour to thicken it up, so that it would stay on tortillas.

a friend and a buuuuuuuuuuuuuuunch of his friends covered an entire Porcupine Tree album.

No, not because of the cover. Listen to it, it's wack. Try track 9 (no, I still don't know Japanese). Also some nicely fusionistic big band: https://tidal.com/browse/album/209555375 And...prog stoner? I guess. https://tidal.com/browse/album/219252488

Fuck me. My Prophet 5 is my favourite synthesizer of all time.

Balduk...er...I mean...buldak...but oven roasted rather than skillet fried...I don't know why, but I prefer this method of cooking. No cheese, no rice cakes, but I did a thing of rice, which soaked up the leftover buldak paste just fine. Yum yum

I've actually opened (and closed!) a ticket with them, so let me know if you want me to get involved. All I would need to do, would be to recreate the problem. Now I want to find my favourite version of it, I think it's this one, but don't quote me on that: https://tidal.com/browse/album/107108335 I also tend to like Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, so it may be this one: https://tidal.com/browse/album/59195982
