Happy Birthday Mikey. Perhaps a wee dram?

The Cure did a live stream from London tonight of their new album, which is ... fine, honestly. But after playing that, they then spent another 2+ hours blistering through their back catalog and it was something else! Robert Smith still in great voice, the band tight, A++ live sound mixing. This 80s kid highly recommends! The retrospective starts about an hour in after the first intermission.

70s retro meets modern doomerism and I'm here for it.

Best mate sold his UK software company and is in the process of moving to Portugal. Said this is the inspiration.

A very one and done supergroup.

Everyone in Atlanta has a Big Green Egg, as the company is based here. I might get one. How do we feel about Kamado cooking in general?

Pretty great cover of a great song. Happy Friday!

They finally found a decent resolution video of this for YouTube. RIP Alan Rickman and Sharleen Spiteri I might have thought of you in some private moments, if you know what I mean?

This goes straight to 11 in the first second of the song. A worthy addition to the rap/rock crossover pantheon? Ice-T and David Gilmour -- "Comfortably Numb"

New Cure! 🤩

New wine from old barrels?

Lot of bad old South Africa memories rehashed over the past week. Johnny was one of the unequivocal good ones.

Sure I've posted this before but still pretty much my theme tune.

Yes that's more or less exactly how it was but without the hair or handsomeness.

"Power User"

Recently bricked my M2 MacBook Air by the simple expedient of drunkenly spilling bourbon into the keyboard. Luckily I had AppleCare coverage and just told them it suddenly stopped working and they were like whatever just send it back and get an M3, which I did. It has 24 GB of RAM and gotta say, it's snappy. Both kids are still on iPhone 13s and will get an upgrade to 16s. I like my 15 Pro Max just fine so I'll probably stand pat.
