Happy Birthday Colin!

Occasionally, I wish I believed in Hell.

Loved their first album, which was very 80s/90s pop. This one seems to have jumped forward 20 years or so. Pastiche? They do it well and I enjoy it so who cares ...

Happy Birthday Steve!

Indie folk about a rough breakup in the middle of a pandemic. If you're in that kind of mood.

Belated best wishes!

I thought this coda was quite interesting on how the musical income model is changing.

No idea if this is of interest here but I support Lloyd Cole on Patreon because he's one of my favorite artists and he recently posted this about his home setup. (Think we used to have a Home Studio Porn thread but not sure if it survived the great Reks nuking?)

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, as usual!

One of my favorite songs and I really like the cover.

Franklin BBQ method. Two hours rubbed and naked at 275 then about the same spritzed, sauced and wrapped. Turned out well -- the family killed two racks and asked if there was any more.

No arguments from me!

Happy Birthday Ric!

Have had a 10 lb rib roast in the smoker at 150 for 5-1/2 hours so far. Will pull at 125-ish, rest a 1/2 hour then nuke in the big gas grill for a few minutes at 750+ to get a nice crust.

Happy Birthday sirrah!

It's now objectively the better user of the name, too.

Ordered some too. Decent performance, no hassles is about where I am in life right now.

Just some nice soaking rain. Very welcome. Sunny and in the 60s through the weekend. Jolly good.

It's hard to imagine who went: "What this extended edition really needs is a bunch of solo clarinet!" But God bless him (would definitely have been a him in the '80s).

Lighten up Francis Callum.

Lightning connector.
