4-17 vs Michigan & Ohio St.
15-30 vs Top 25
4-21 vs Top 10
1-15 vs Top 5

Since 2011, Franklin has FOUR losses as a 20+ favorite

PennSt was the FIRST team to lose consecutive games as a 20+ point favorite 🤦‍♂️

I’d say it’s been all disaster 🏈

Andrew Liles was the support act and he was (brilliantly) all over the place; loved it

ThankYouThankYouThankYou!!!

Hard to imagine me having the opportunity to see MonsterLiles perform live, so I truly appreciate this snippet of this performance 🤘

But the pomp and circumstance of homecoming……all those pretty girls and flowers. That alone is worth the price of admission 🌹

Possibly maybe??? But I don’t recall ordering anything from them recently. I went to their website and didn’t see this artwork, but it was a brief search. Any thoughts appreciated!

Soooo I received an order of something Nurse With Wound and they added a single CD w/ alternate artwork for Terms And Conditions Apply.

Unsure how this compares to the original 2xCD 3 panel digipak, but I’m soon to find out……what else is #CDFriday for 😎

Thx for showing, that is cool. Reminds me of the compilation series where each volume had a high gloss picture of a fish in the cover????

AAUUGGHH - this is going to drive me crazy until I can think of the series name 🤦‍♂️

Coil - ANS CD in black clamshell case. Eskaton 2003.
(the original version picked up from merch table at Autechre’s 2003 ATP festival in Camber Sands)
&
Coil- ANS 3 CD/1 DVD box set Threshold House 2004 #Coil
Black clamshell case next to a box set with a picture of the ANS synthesiser on it.  Red circular sticker in white capitalised text reads: 
WARNING! CONTENTS MAY MAKE YOU SPAZZ OUT 4 close up colour photographs of the ANS synthesiser arranged in a square. 4 colour photographs of glass plate etchings used in the making of the music for the CD set arranged in a square Side one of the text that came with the box set, the back of the box set (another colour photograph of the ANS synthesiser) and the open clamshell case showing the original CD with the words COIL ANS in black text on a white square printed on the CD. 
The text reads: 
The ANS was first conceived in the 1930's by Soviet Army colonel Evgeny Murzin, It is a large mechanical device • The first fully functioning version, other than an original wooden prototype, was completed in the 1950's. Each component was engineered by hand.
It's purpose is to convert graphic designs made by the composer, directly into sound. Murzin was a big fan of the music of Russian composer Alexander Nikolaevich Scriabin, so he named his new invention after him.
At the heart of the machine is a glass plate is coated in a sticky black mastic-like substance, into which the composer scribes marks or lines of various thicknesses and shapes. Having made the design on the plate using a stylus, the composer then slides the glass plate through the 'pick-up' section of the machine. As he does so, light passes through the marks he made and is picked up by an array of light sensitive cells or diodes. These signals are fed to a loud speaker where they become sound for the first time.
In order that the light represent distinct frequency rather than just white noise or AC hum, the light passing through the plate is not supplied from a single constant source, but 800 individual sections.
The brightness of each of these 800 light sources is modulated into a sine wave by its own rotating optical disc contained within the machine. These discs are printed photographically so that, as they spin, they create pulsing current, in a range of frequencies from approximately 10hz for a light at the bottom of the array, to 25khz for the light at the top.
As varying amounts of each frequency of pulsing light are detected at the 'pick-up' section of the machine (based on the thickness and position of the marks scribed on the …

I’m at work as Femenine chugs around in the background this early #CDFriday

I purchased this from @frozenreeds.com back in the other neighborhood……was it really 2016?

Thought I had forever lost it in the 2017 Harvey flood, but alas today I found the CD😎

It was my only time seeing Sabbath and yeah they rocked it! I recently heard that Born Again would soon be receiving the remastered/bonus tracks re-release treatment. Can’t recall the last time I’ve seen that album out on the wild???

Hummm, how to quantify LPD fans, that’s a great question! Back in the day many of us were members of the CloudZero email list.

And wow to McCartney playing the ABQ, he plays San Antonio in a few days……his only Texas stop.

Ha - that Venom x-ray cover is still creepy looking 40 years later. I had Possessed on cassette, pretty sure that was my last “new” Venom purchase.

I’m going with

Black Sabbath - Trashed
(not because of drugs)

I saw the Born Again tour on February 10th, 1984 (41 years ago, I was 15)

Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) was Sabbath’s lead singer for just that album……still one of my favorites!
Got to hear Geezer rip through Smoke On The Water 🤘
