A2: OK, the good: I found Salmon Flies on the washed out section of the Gardiner River in July in Yellowstone! Some people think they’re ugly, but I think they’re beautiful. Technically, I broke my back on this day taking what I would call a cartoon fall, which is probably bad?

Pete Drake created a functional talk box using a speaker, funnel, and tube, making it a hit with his 1964 song "Forever."
He reportedly introduced the device to Peter Frampton during the recording of George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass."
This clip is downright Lynchian.

Have you been good, or will we be seeing Krampus tonight?
Hide your naughty little children, Krampus comes round tonight. Wishing everyone a very merry Krampusnacht! (painting from my 2012 novel "Krampus, The Yule Lord")

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
Today on Volts: I've had more requests to cover this than almost any other topic in the pod's history, so now, at long last, balcony solar! We dig into how "plug-in solar" took off in Europe & how it's making its way to the US, starting in Utah. Backyard DIY types rejoice!
What's the deal with balcony solar?
Cora Stryker joins me to explain how "plug-in" solar took Europe by storm and is finally, via Utah (?), making its way to America.

A friend of mine sent me this very, very nice KT Tunstall cover of the #Beck song, Golden Age, today.
Beck wrote it in ~2002, this version was released in 2006.
The bass sound on this whole album is 💋. Just listen to that thing.
