SWANS / Michael Gira - Is There Really a Mind? These are more fleshed out than I was expecting, will have to listen again. The end of ”The Parasite,” “The Memorious,” and “No More of This“ initial stand-outs. Glad I was finally able to be part of the fundraiser, and so far glad it was this one...

SWANS - Soundtracks for the Blind Seems to be the same setup as the recent US press, thick pocket gatefold, poster, lyric insert. Just not Gira's signature. Apparrently Mute is doing a European issue, I guess apologies for anyone who imported but in fairness this wasn't announced at the time...

Oingo Boingo - Only a Lad Second press is up for pre-order and will ship pretty much immediately. Sounds excellent in spite of being pressed at Precision. You can e-mail him to request the record be shipped outside the jacket. Green with White swirl: Online Store | Rubellan Remasters Blue...

Book 3: The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman Wow, I only read this in two weeks? Uh, I can't recommend this enough. I can't remember the last time I read a book where every sentence added something to the situation. Near the beginning of the book is an anecdote about a Hmong...

Wow, I like your mom's take. Doubt I could bring myself to be quite so eloquent though. Fair, I guess I didn't take the time to consider that that might not've been the nicest thing to say about an author. They do sound like fun books. Heh, nah, I only read my first Dickens - A Tale of Two...

While I said I didn't intend to get embroiled, consider, if you will, that Cryptocurrency has not replaced any of our existing systems for which we use servers at all. In fact, going a step further: the very thing that makes crypto "valuable" is that it takes a very long time to compute, that...

If a cover design was ever enough to make one read a book on it's merits alone… BUT WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.

Another year, another Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination: Artist summary: Kate Bush | Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Voting, which allows you to re-vote daily apparently. I probably can't be arsed but its there anyway: Fan Vote 2022

Tried to get one that had that off Amazon and wound up with an Argentinian copy that had the front of that booklet as the behind-the-tray insert.😑

I actually SACRIFICE>'d with glee, and play the thing quite a bit.

Smugness: commencing. That said this was after about 150 tries, it appears my play style for this game is do it right or don't do it, I've not gotten anything less than a B- since the first couple of bosses.

Okay, kinda 2 down but both were started in December so eh. Didn't read as much the past month-ish as I'd been doing - but, ebbs and floods. Also, like, apologies for below. I feel like I forget the difference between what needs to be said and what I say because I think it's interesting to say...

Honestly, you kind of have my attention. I like the literary snob stuff of course but I think the junkfood has it's place. I can be worried about not getting around to any, and sometimes one wonders if there's junkfood books more deserving of being considered SoMe Of ThE bEsT eVaR than a lot of...

This is an okay listen if you want to hear people talk Kate, including someone who'd not heard her work before. Disagree with some of their assessments - they didn't like The Dreaming much - but they did have a few insights that were new to me. Don't be scared off by the title or it being...

A thousand and half, the second encore, It could not make, but for as much now twice, and once, tonight, for ten times seven more. We might've watched the first two acts of Braunagh's production of Hamlet tonight. At any rate yeah what on earth. I'd have quite a payday if I could bare to part...

So my Discogs thingy wouldn't show this because one's never sold there and otherwise there's not really been enough change to warrant posting a new picture, but Hawaii: Part II on clear vinyl has now sold on eBay for around $1500 twice now and may be going on a third. And I still won't sell it...
