#Music In the House & On the Deck: 'Superstitions' (SubRosa, 2025) by Narthex, the collaboration between Daniel Denis (Univers Zero) & Alain Neffe (Pseudocode). Very atmospheric. Sadly, mine arrived w a tiny scratch at the intro to Side 1. Tick, tick, tick for 20 seconds.

Way to go "moderate" (i.e., dumbass) Democrats: this is what you get when you make deals with lying troglodytes.

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

#Music R.I.P. #JackDeJohnette Such a fantastic drummer, whose timing in hooking up with Miles Davis for 'Bitches Brew' couldn't have been better. Playing it now. #Respect, my brother.

In the House & On the Deck: 'For the Raven' (Infinite Fog Productions, 2025), the new release from Metgumbnerbone. Moody and druidic, this is one that @peterhuestis.bsky.social would like. Very Halloween-appropriate. #Music

'Morning, Dave. Listening to #39 just now and thought to ask how it is that your pronunciation of German is so good? Did you grow up there, otherwise spend time there, have a German spouse or family or friends, major in it in college, or?

@ryancordell.org Hello, Ryan. A few years ago, I bought the embosser pictured here from a bookseller buddy. Would you be interested in having it for your shop? If so, I will happily mail it to you. I've never used it and would like it to go to a good home.

#Books Finished 'Oblivion' (@littlebrown, 2004), the short (altho some are decidedly long) story collection by #DavidFosterWallace. Given the author, not a light read, but a compelling one. "Good Old Neon" and its abrupt ending ("Not another word."), particularly so. #Reading

#Records I just accidentally played Side 1 of 'Mission Is Terminated' by #ThrobbingGristle (Nice, 1983) at 33.3rpm, rather than the intended 45rpm, and it was pretty great. #Music cc @peterhuestis.bsky.social

#Records Just finished a deep dive into my #BertJansch vinyl collection (19 LPs). Liked two the best (i.e., a tie): the spare, eponymous 'Bert Jansch' (Transatlantic, 1965) and the lovely, moving 'Heartbreak' (Logo, 1982). Incredible artist. #Music

Hello, #music friends. I'm thinking about buying the TEAC TN-5BB Belt Drive Analog Turntable to replace my 30+ year-old Ariston Q Deck. Thoughts?
