We’ve lived in our house about 13 years and walked around Lake Harriet 100s of times. We had never seen swans before. But others said they’re there every year. Anyways… the swans are numerous at the moment. Here’s a family off of north beach.

I was pretty happy about the IU victory until this bizarre interview with the quarterback.

My top 5 according to Apple. I don’t think it counts stuff I loaded in from CDs, so it’s not entirely accurate. I’m not sure why that Medium Build record hit for me, there’s some definite cheese about it, but I did love it. Surprised the MJ Lenderman record wasn’t on here.

When we all had to say something we’re thankful for and I said Valhalla keeping Supermassive free and nobody knew what I was going on about.

K ChiMac in Richfield is delicious. Great Korean fried chicken. The Stone Pot Bibimbap (hot bibimbap) is also amazing.

The reports about these My Bloody Valentine shows are making me jealous and nostalgic. Saw them at the cabaret metro, well, decades ago. Still a top 10 show for me.

I confess, over the last couple of years I’ve lost the ability to read a damn book. Hell, I struggle to even watch a serious movie. But, I’m battling. I’m almost done with this book. Pretty fun.

Sometimes I forget to check-in on bands I wander across. Chanel Beads released a new song in October. Like the record, it’s pretty great. I did some googling because I never really learned anything about them and, lo and behold, dude is from MN.

My knee jerk reaction to buzzy NYC bands is usually: meh.

I retract it for Geese. This is a vital record. Awesome.

So, in my head I just thought up the idea of “bootgaze.” Reverb and fuzz soaked country music.

But… a quick google reveals (like everything else I think up), it’s already been thought up. This is apparently an example (not a bad song):
