Oh god, no. I spent a dozen years working for Schwinn. Other than the sop we’d first hike being a Schwinn, he has no connection to the brand. And Ai slop too? No. www.bikeradar.com/news/no-hand...

Good episodes here!
RIP to one of the greatest guitarists ever, Steve Cropper, who always played exactly what the song called for and nothing more. He was a two-time Caropop guest, first on his own www.caropop.com/caropopcast/... and then with guitarist Jimmy James interviewing his hero: www.caropop.com/caropopcast/...

Having fun with the Wera Tools advent calendar. Three days in and I have two slotted screwdrivers and a stand.

P.S. to those in the Twin Cities - Angry Catfish had two available for sale when I was there around noon today.

Snap-On 90° pick, a roadside find from over 25 years ago. Not sure how I wrenched prior to finding it.

🎵 It’s been awhile… 🎶
There is no pain
You are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

Just listened to it yesterday afternoon. Stone cold classic.
Four decades back a major label released a debut album that sounded like almost nothing on earth while still sounding incredibly familiar. Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett takes stock of it all

Happy Birthday to the JAMC's Psychocandy, which turns 40 today!
