I like old-timey music

I don’t automatically follow back.

Katharine Hepburn about her essential tremor:
Parkinson’s is a devastating disease. Mine is just an irritation.
These are good books.
Well this is pretty amazing value! The whole Wyndham & Banerjee series, including a hardback of the new book, The Burning Ground, on sale for under £30.
Could make a great Christmas present! Only a few left in stock.

@rogerthedodger.bsky.social Are you aware of any organizations that provide more information or support for people with essential tremor?

@rogerthedodger.bsky.social You are going to be surprised

No Dice – released today in 1970 on Apple – likely is the best album Badfinger ever made. Produced by Geoff Emerick & Mal Evans, “No Matter What” & “Without You” got much attention (especially when Nilsson recorded the latter in 1971) but “We’re for the Dark” & “I Can’t Take It” are also splendid.

Most of Lou Reed’s (1942-2013) music had a New York City flavor, but it didn’t get much more Big Apple than his Transformer lp – released today in 1972. Produced by the stellar duo of David Bowie & Mick Ronson, the album (improbably) had a charting single – “Walk on the Wild Side” (#16 pop, U.S.).

It’s a key album in the group’s evolution but is frequently overlooked in their catalog. Meddle (released in the U.S. today in 1971) marked a notable moment in Pink Floyd retooling its approach to songwriting & playing – which would bear more fruit on future albums. “Echoes” is Meddle’s high point.

MIDNIGHT UPDATE: Moderate/Dem-backed candidates are currently sweeping every school board race in conservative Douglas County, Colorado (home to a famous school voucher experiment). Would give moderates total 7-0 control of the school board. #copolitics

I’m sitting at an RTD light rail station where I can see the ballot drop box and holy cow. The guys were just here emptying it and people are constantly dropping off ballots.

I can't remember a Democratic politician in my lifetime moving people quite like *this*
A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

Aack. I had to use the phone. Thankfully I didn’t have to talk to anyone, I just had to press the pound key a lot.
