I’ve listened to Sleep Token and I’m not convinced that the entire thing isn’t a gang of bored wanker musicians taking the piss out of a bunch of teenage mall goths.

It’s sad that the senators and house reps for Nebraska didn’t have the highway run through something other than mile after mile of corn fields. Robert Byrd would have twisted and turned that highways through all kinds of cool stuff.

They have to work with what they’ve got. I could see this working as part of a bigger campaign that uses photography to showcase a diversity of things to do in Nebraska. It could target big cities full of people who want a break from asphalt and concrete but don’t like beaches.

Pet Sounds is the greatest album ever. RIP.

There’s a recent (February) documentary about Sly, Sly Lives on Hulu. Directed by Questlove.

It’s like a tab but there’s a chance that someone checked it for accuracy.

Of course out of a huge group of people I’m the only who plays bass. There is one guitar player who is working on one song. So everybody else has two songs to learn and I have (at least) five. I’m just going to figure out how to fake this shit for the next month and then worry about getting it...

It just occurred to me that it would be awesome to set this up with three melody strings, three drone strings, and play it like a bass sarod.

If you really hate yourself you can buy this, record yourself playing, then watch it back and realize that every single note was out of tune. Seriously, it’s a great idea for an instrument but not many people can pull it off.

There’s never a wrong time for curry. I have a recipe I like to make just because it involves tossing a bunch of crushed fresh curry leaves into hot oil and it makes the entire house smell like curry. Fucking wonderful smell, that.

I got out of the workforce before PIPs were a thing. I probably would have got a new one every week because I was a right cunt in my twenties.

Gotta clean that thing out if you’re going to do A2M.

This is awesome.
