Bill Burroughs on "regret". Heard this first decades ago. It's been (happily) living in my head ever since.

Seen in passing.

Old Leonard doesn't seem too pleased about this situation.

And yes, as you can see, Rubber Soul was indeed inside. However, its dire condition dampened any temporary enthusiasm I may have had. (The fact it was in mono was kind of cool, though...)

"Il quarto stato", a painting by Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo forms the centerpiece of the opening of Bernardo Bertolucci's masterpiece Novecento (1900), a family epic spanning over 3 decades which chronicles the rise of fascism in Italy in the early 20th century and the struggle against it.

Watching K-drama #TheNiceGuy (2025), I am awoken from my complacent viewing to see one of the characters (actress #OhNaRa) donning a BLACK FLAG JEALOUS AGAIN t-shirt!

It's not every day in the same post that I get to tag both #BlackFlag AND #Kdrama !

Memorials / Into The Ring (2020) Re-visiting one of my favourite comedy series, Korean or otherwise. A total riot! Brilliant cast, writing, direction, art design.
Two pix
1. The characters & 2. Six shots with some stylin' camerawork.

The wonderful power of outsmarting your enemies.
One of my all time favourite Bugs gags. So simple. So ingenious.❤️

HIGH AND LOW
Today with @ingridkerr.bsky.social at #Lab111 I saw, for the first time, Akira Kurosawa's 1963 film High And Low.
Amazing.
So amazing, in fact, that I wanted to share some choice screenshots with one and all. Enjoy!

Ok. I *did* own Back In The USA around that time. And that tape may indeed have been the format I had it on. Don't recall having it on vinyl oddly enough. Your mention of a "black soft plastic case" triggered my grey cells...

Memory! After reading your comment I immediately thought of a ROIR cassette. Pink. Looked it up. Yup. Out in 1983 it seems. But did I own it? Uh, no. Did I listen to it with you on the way to or from a Black Swan record run? Weird dream or not, Kev, I'm sure as shit finding this online tomorrow.

2009, last time in NYC, the most amazing city I've ever seen. Dunno if I'll make it back there (or anywhere in the US) one day. But yeah 2025...

W/ my family in the 60s & my band in the 80s I got to experience so many amazing things/people. I miss it still

USA pals, hope y'all have a nice safe 4th

Belated birthday greetings to my old pal Jello Biafra! Here's a snap of me, Rob and John on stage with the birthday boy at the Commodore in Vancouver in 1990.
