I'm the one in the middle.

Happy birthday to the late Glenn W. Turner, whose album Dare to Be Great! is featured in Episode 21 of My Weird Record Collection! The episode is now up on YouTube -- sorry for the delay, but a family emergency delayed the YouTube post. (All is better now!)

I thought I found a rare treasure when I got this for $6 in July 1998 at Record Setter in East Brunswick, NJ. Turns out that the 10-inch version is actually the most common!

Now...I totally support non-cisgendered people and will call them what they want to be called, acknowledge their genders and pronouns, but this is just getting ridiculous.

Some listening for this morning, recorded and mixed (and performed) VERY digitally, so naturally...I'm listening on an analog medium.
Brian Wilson's first solo LP from 1988. Not my favorite of his solo albums, but still great. If I could describe it in one word, that word would be...*triumphant*.

- Illinois' capital is Rockdale
- I once played John Lennon's guitar
- The creator of Q*Bert knows me by name
- Six beagles lined up to pee on a chair I was sitting on
Did I do this right?

It occurred to me as I was getting in from walking my beagle Lola, on a break from a Laravel project.
Her command set is kind of analogous to your standard CRUD. There's "stay," "down," "off," "speak," "paw," and "sit." Gonna have to train her on a vowel command for a better acronym than "SPOSDS."

This is fun to know: apparently My Weird Record Collection is first to show up in Apple Podcasts when searching for record collection podcasts.
Even odder: it's #65 when searching gaming strategies. That's pretty high for this podcast, even with an episode dedicated to a video game strategy record!
