Verdi; or, uh, Verd; or Verdigris04, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.

I ended up having to get a bigger external drive, as my digital pile of shame keeps growing. 😅

If you liked that one, check out their 2012 album Wreck, released on Alternative Tentacles. I'd say it's probably my favorite album of theirs.

So this is what Niles (and presumably Daphne) from "Frasier" got up to after the show ended. No wonder he didn't want to appear in the revival, bit of a comedown compared to being a psychiatrist.

Not Matthau, but make sure "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" is next on the list (if it isn't already). I recently discovered this and it's a very underrated film. One of Robert Mitchum's best performances with a great supporting cast.

Hopefully "Charley Varrick" was a key part of this.

I mean, "Venezuelan beaver cheese" was RIGHT THERE. *shakes head*

For me the most meditative part is assembly; I dunno why but I find it oddly relaxing.

I should add that's mostly with stuff I glue with plastic cement. 3D printed stuff usually gets assembled digitally before printing, so I can avoid gluing my fingers together with super glue.

Already on the second song, and yeah, this would definitely have been my cup of tea back in the day. I mean, it still is to be sure, but now I don't have to fiddle around with changing the tape or CD out while driving, like I would have back then.

I started getting into noise rock back in the early-mid 1990s, and I know I saw copies of this record kicking around various record stores, but for some reason never got around to listening to it or buying it. Correcting that now.

I think one of the first ones I remember reading was the Sláine story "The Tomb of Terror". My local comics shop here in the US got a bunch of 2000AD progs somehow during the 80s, and I bought every one of them. That Sláine story was one of the first 2000AD stories that really stuck with me.

Like when someone is drunk, and then something happens, and they're instantly and amazingly sober? It was that kinda thing.

A *lot* sweeter than I'd been expecting, to put it mildly. Thankfully I didn't just ralph it all back up right then and there. But I stored that info away for future knowledge, to be sure.

Amazingly no, but I do remember going "oh my god that is *sweet*!" 😬 And my British friend was like "yeah you're supposed to dilute it with water, like less than a third of that in the glass." I made sure to remember that going forward.

Yank here: years ago in the UK, I was at a friend's house after some drunken revelry. I asked for a drink; all they had was some blackcurrant Ribena. Before they could say anything, I'd poured a glassful and swigged it *without* diluting it first. I still remember the horrified look they gave me.
