Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton day to all who celebrate
Panel from Watchmen with caption that says “NOVEMBER 14TH: A PARTIALLY MUSCLED SKELETON STANDS BY THE PERIMETER FENCE AND SCREAMS FOR THIRTY SECONDS BEFORE VANISHING…” with a drawing of a skeleton with some meat on it screaming near two soldiers, one of whom is on the ground getting sick

Listening to an old copy of Radiohead's OK Computer on a repaired tape, but my stereo only outputs R channel sound right now. It's like I'm getting whole new arrangements of the tracks on the album.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

The hype is kind of funny but we did put a lot of effort into the Winter Release Event. If you're interested in the bleeding edge of newsletter platforms, this is worth signing up for.

remember: music is supposed to be a community you're a part of, not a thing that's on in the background that you passively consume

SERIOUSLY?
Alternative girl looking over her shoulder at the viewer with disgust. She is reading a zine. She wears a leather jacket with a broken chain patch on the sleeve, and the words WORMS on the back with a large earthworm patch. She has bleached hair with black roots and an eyebrow ring and a nose piercing. The text above her reads, “Ew, you don’t read zines??” The zine has the writing: “Why farts are the call of the worker” with a farting cartoon butt.

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.
The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."
