The Tokens! Too bad it’s a beater and then some. 🎶

A Ritchie Valens sighting.

The mystery of these old 1950’s jazz and pop records has been resolved. These were my grandfather’s records. Found a Wheaton, IL sticker Don Cornell’s “Athena.” I must have taken them when we cleared out my grandmother’s house.

Dixie Danny by Art Lund is certainly new to me. 🎶

I don’t know who loved this Bobby Vinton so much, but for a beater — it sounds quite good.

For a point of reference — here’s the box of 45s I’m dealing with. There’s at least 50 in here.

My parents handed me a box of my old 45s. Found this gem after suffering through a bunch of Woody Woodpecker Talent Show.

I got a new phone for the first time in five years, so like an old fart with a greater sense of mortality I’m mostly excited I can stretch time on the lock screen.

I was really down on my new movie selections late, but DEADLINE AT DAWN (Harold Clurman, 1946) — currently streaming on the @criterionchannl.bsky.social — totally changed my fate. It’s a fun, ambling “one crazy night” noir with deliciously purple dialogue and great leads in Hayward and Lukas.

Did the thing.

Pennsylvania— retain all our judges.

(It’s on the back.)

Allegheny County—vote Alex Rose.

There’s your cheat sheet.

Last minute pumpkin carving rush resulted in a pair of classic monsters. The glue blood worked better than expected on the vamp. #happyhalloween

Stefon? That you?

The dog fell asleep on me. I’m very hungry. Someone fetch me the leftovers from the fridge.

22. Anima Rising by Christopher Moore

This isn’t a top-tier Moore, but every Moore is worth the time. ANIMA collides Mary Shelley with Freud and the art world of Gustav Klimt and weaves a tale of The Bride as muse and repressed trauma victim with lots of comic sex and masturbation. #booksky

21. Time Loops and Meet Cutes by Jackie Lau

Cutesy title, but a well-written if occasionally trite (and horny) magical realism rom-com with Groundhog Day vibes. Outside my normal reading roster, but a pleasant excursion.
