Baltimore weirdo.
So, who wants to join my band that does disco covers of Lou Reed tunes? We’re called the Velvet Underground & Meco

Digging through stuff I haven’t listened to in a while led me to put on this absolute gem. Bird Nest Roys singles and only full-length record in one package.

Does anyone else sing Timothée Chalamet's last name to the "Sally Mae" part of the Velvet Underground's "Foggy Notion"?

I thought 2024 was the worst year of my personal life but oh boy was I wrong. 2025 made last year look sunny and fun. This year can eat it.

Happy new year and shit.

Ok team, we can bring these words back into usage! 💪

Overmorrow = the day after tomorrow

Ereyesterday = the day before yesterday

We ahould have been using such excellent words ereyesterday, but if we start now we’ll be glad overmorrow!
You can be the change you want to see in the English language!
So long as we get ereyesterday back too! Words need their inverses!

Some of the stuff on the Hallmark Channel feels like AI fed exclusively on Reese Witherspoon.

I don't remember who I chatted with about In The Footsteps of Alexander (maybe @bowiesongs.bsky.social?) may moons ago but I was excited to find it on youtube. I had it on VHS way back when. www.youtube.com/watch?v=six_...

I was next to the Undertaker at a row of airport urinals. We did not acknowledge each other. He washed his hands.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Started my day with Bing Crosby's Swingin' With Bing! radio broadcast set because it's Bing season. Also a reminder that Ella did a great Louis Armstrong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfbD...

Agrivoltaics boost crop yields even when the solar panels aren’t generating power. New research from Canada shows that shading crops with elevated solar panels creates a cooler, wetter microclimate that can lift yields and improve performance across dozens of crops. buff.ly/6eqClf1

The gift that keeps on giving: How solar panels on farms can help increase crop yields
A new study finds farmers can enjoy increased crop yeilds under partial shade of solar panels long after they stop working decades from now.

I got Thomas Pynchon’s Shadow Ticket from the library for Christmas. I’m on chapter 10 but I’m bored. Terribly bored. The occasional flash of Pynchon’s prosaic power isn’t enough to not feel the generous padding.

The Pufnstuf Funko has a Pufnstuf-sized head. It should be extra big.

I have a soft spot for this very 90s record from Charlie Sexton. I've never had much luck getting others to hear its charm but that's never stopped me trying. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2Gq...
