A particularly productive Sunday. Mowed the lawn Pulled the weeds Cleaned the long overdue garage gutters (things were growing in them...) Binned the long overdue branch debris Harvested much of the herb garden Bought milk crates And now making chicken parm for the 1st time. Still groceries to come
Just saw a guy on a motorcycle drive by, one hand on the handlebars, the other stretched out holding his phone while he was looking at it. At least he was wearing a helmet.
Watching some King Gizzard @ their Field of Vision festival last weekend before work. "One time we started jammin, and then we kept jammin, and the next thing we knew, we were jammin! And then we made an album with Billy Strings." PUT THAT THING OUT RIGHT NOW!
My kids responding to "How's your day going?": 11, yesterday: Sat on a wasp in the car & got stung. The wasp did not survive & 8 buried it in the garden. 8, today: Put soap in a bouncy castle to make it slippery, slipped & fell, got soap down throat. Never a dull moment with these two.

My 3rd 5-star new-to-me album from @1001albumsgen.bsky.social has arrived! S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things. Some really excellent 60's British psychedilia.
Last Newfoundland morning before crossing back on the ferry tonight. S'nice.
Last night in Newfoundland. A rainy night in the shed with dad, a long-lost cousin, and the steady drip of a leaky chimney.
Namibian dried beef. Similar to beef jerky but an entirely different flavour, not at all salty.
Sometimes you need to throw on a Mexican poncho to ward off the mosquitos
So I've known for basically my whole life that when my dad & his 7 brothers were little kids, granddad would pick them up by the ears to check if they were good for rabbits. If they didn't cry, they were good for rabbits. What does good for rabbits mean? Who knows! A toughness measure, perhaps?
BACK ON VACATION! Me at work for 2 days this week:

If you see this, quote it with a song lyric you love: More people die on the road than they do in the ocean Maybe we should mull over culling cars instead of sharks Or just lock them up in parks where we can go and view them

Last day of vacation, then it's TWO WHOLE DAYS OF WORK til the next one. Gonna be rough I tell ya.
Got my belly stogged right full with the better part of 3* lobsters and it's some good I tell ya. *My own, 90% of Kid A's & 1/3rd of Kid B's
Welp, 8's last soccer practice of this summer's session was canceled due to today's rain. Bit of a bummer because he loves it so much (and I love to watch him play), but I could use the extra hour this evening so 🤷
[The album's lead single is a rocker called "Date Night." As Morello says, the song "tells the true story of three Dutch teenage girls during World War II who seduced Nazi officers and murdered them in the woods."] You have my attention 👀

Hardly breaking news, but man is Nevermind ever a great album! Got it as my @1001albumsgen.bsky.social album of the day today. Been awhile since I listened to it front-to-back, and it still hits so well. Also ended my 1.5 month run since my last 5-star album (Hole's Live Through This). 🤘
Post a perfect album from the '90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains

A year ago today I switched from Spotify to Tidal for my music streaming, and to accompany it I setup a Last.fm account to track my listening habits, since I'm interested in that kinda thing. Here's how year 1's listening breaks down for total listens + total & top ten artists:
Back home now, but not before a stop at la Dune de Bouctouche
Post a poster you used to have in your room, apartment, or house. It's not an actual concert poster, though. And those gigs were cancelled due to Jimmy Chamberlin & Jonathan Melvoin (RIP) ODing the night before. Kinda weird to make a poster about it really. Anyway I still own it. Used to, too.

Still one of the best songs. Turns out this clip was recorded the day Kurt Cobain was found dead. Imagine if Kurt & Shannon were still around? Man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxy5...
