We're still looking for someone in the Inland Empire area to adopt or foster this little tortoiseshell kitty. I'm willing to drive halfway to L.A. if anyone there wants to meet up to take her.
A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?

other goals include tidying up lyrics on some pages, finally adding the shrimper tapes i got ahold of in the past 2 years, and finally pushing the zine scans section up to a live page.

Small update to Claremont Cometh's page on DiskothiQ: a note on the origins of the band name (along with the extant notes on pronunciation) since people have asked. This year I'd like to add some more DiskothiQ history notes from our conversations on the Tired podcast, so look forward to that.

Also on deck in Guy's insta post: the Ah Club's 1997 Shrimper release Kiss The Sky Goodbye. The material is probably not what you're expecting if you're used to the early Shrimper tapes. AND this record has a Refrigerator guitar sample on it! Page here: www.claremontcometh.net/library/shr7...

Saw the lovely Guy Blackman post about a planned DJ set with the Refrigerator 7" Suck And Run, a personal favorite (not as good as Louder Than Goodbye, but what is?) and you can read about/hear samples of that 7" here: www.claremontcometh.net/library/pape...

Was 2025 a rough one for you? If so, Peter Hughes just dropped a new song for this New Years Eve. And it's open enough that you'll be able to use it for every weary, beaten-down New Years Eve to come. Bring on the next one... peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/track/happy-...

What's retired Mountain Goats bassist Peter Hughes up to lately? Glad you asked. He's writing about Ryusuke Hamaguchi film Drive My Car (2021) for @alloymag.bsky.social, the autojourno website for people who understand that the intrusive pop-up ad model is bad. alloymag.com/drive-my-car...
Review of Drive My Car

btc has great high points (heel turn 2 obviously all-time, animal mask, luna, CHOKED OUT, werewolf gimmick) but i admit it's not a record i revisit in full much. goths/dragons/bleed out my Big 3 from the Merge era.
