the sound this tour is vastly bigger but the volume (in my experience) was more brutal in the ‘80s.. thinking of the Burning World tour gig at the (then) 9:30. Funny since the LP was mellow stuff, but that show was aggressive as hell

indeed. In the ‘80s was one near the King’s Highway station that was like a religious pilgrimage when visiting a musical collaborator on Ocean Ave… Coming from DC (an absolute bagel desert), the Hot Bagels visit was all important.

AND: that Anekdoten LP is ridiculously solid.

Scrappy was the end, the harbinger. We should have recognized THE SIGNS but we allowed it to continue. And now, look around.

Still remember the Man Ray exhibition at (of all places) the portrait gallery in DC in the late ‘80s. They had a huge replica of the metronome/eye assemblage outside the gallery. Life-changing. Also just found the coffee-table exhibition book at a used bookshop in AZ for peanuts! PEANUTS I say (!)

been working on an IG #DollarTreeCeiling series for a few years: it’s been an unhealthy obsession. The stains from leaky A/C condensers, the broken panels, the rogue helium balloons, the surveillance cameras… There will be a book project in it. Meanwhile, this is a stunning specimen!

always updoot a sympathetic doot!

you almost make me regret neglecting my supernova. Almost.

i have an extremely tinfoil-hat theory about this that will take a dozen cork boards and a ton of string to plot out before it can be written. But I’m TELLING you. I will be proven right. When it is far too late.

For me it was 50% about planning long specific routes, and the app is good for that (so far). Not just picking a destination but adding tons of waypoints, etc. It seems to get confused less than Calimoto…

Expensive yes, but its value is a bit personal: is the mini-map display enough for you? Do you ride a sporty posture where you may lean too forward to see it easily? For me it works well. The beep when you’re approaching a turn is subtle but a big help.

whomst amongst us hasn’t gone on holiday by mistake…

But when is a “bucket” a “pail”? Can one be both, or is this a world gone mad?

Much easier than a Chevette. Although the Chevette had its charms.

effing brilliant rekkid.
