A 2026 goal of mine is to go deeper on artists that I know/enjoy a few tracks from but not much else

Once a week I will randomly choose an artist & spend the work day listening to their discography on random

This week: Twenty One Pilots

I saw the 2025 Rock & Roll HoF show, but that's all I know

A goal of mine in 2026 is to try and make 10-15 new recipes (roughly one per month). Basically something I’ve never made before. This might be an easy/boring goal, but for me it’s something I rarely do.

Recipe 2 - Broccoli Beef. Easy to make. Sauce was great. Could have done better on beef. 7/10

Happy anniversary to Authority Zero's 12:34, released on this day in 2007.

Joe's #albumoftheweek is the 3rd LP from the band. He's already added a song to the Season 2 Playlist from it in Episode 12 - will he remember to add another Authority Zero song in Episode 34 to complete the 12:34 prophecy?

...and transform all of the state into Solvang, California? Where do I sign?
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Happy Birthday Jimmy Page!

Joe's #albumoftheweek is Led Zeppelin II which includes a song Jimmy has said in the past is his favorite Zeppelin song - the massive hit Whole Lotta Love.

Joe's favorite song from the album is unsurprisingly the J.R.R. Tolkien-inspired Ramble On.
