Tiki Bars, Cocktails, and Funny Books are my forte. Occasionally obsessed with the minutiae of MP3 metadata.

There's a ton more I'd like to pick up. I still don't have that Courettes album I want, there's a Camera Obscura record finally back in print, and I really want to check out the Lemon Twigs, but all of those will have to wait. Anyway, support real artists and real music! Happy #BandcampFriday! 5/5

Sisyphus Happy is M. Lockwood Porter leaning more county rock than 27’s indie/Americana. Written during lockdown there’s definitely more acoustic here than 27, but “Craigslist Song” proves the dude can still rock when the song calls for it. 4/5

Earlier this year I was chatting with Chad of The Frigidaires and told him how much I dug La Calle on The Frigidaire’s latest and he immediately suggested The Roots of Chicha. This compilation leans into the surf sounds I like in Cumbia, LA LOM, and La Calle 3/4?

Rudolph’s Ranch by Travels with Brindle. I'm a sucker for fireplace music, the kind you put on and just relax into. Rudolph’s Ranch is totally that. The title track is delightful and much like the flag of Sweden the Big Star cover is a big plus. 2/4?

Does that also apply to the delightfully seasonally appropriate Rudolph's Ranch?

I have Fark photoshops that have made the migration from one computer to the next for over a decade. I have never saved an AI image. Not once.

It may have been a minute or two since Live Aid, so I'd forgotten how much fun this live take was. If you haven't watched it before, definitely stick around until about the 1:10 minute count or so.

In hindsight, one thing that’s clever about five days is it’s a lot easier to check out some of the bands I don’t know as well or at all.

Yeah, that three run of albums (Girlfriend, Altered Beast, and 100% Fun) are solid top to bottom. So many underrated classics on those albums.

The foyer right by the master bedroom/suite/half the house is a choice.

"Coat Bath"? That's a hell of a way to say "laundry room" and a terrible spot to put it if that's the case.

The Rat Fink rides again!

I’m surprised it doesn’t go in the bed pointing up since it looks like they’re kind of going for a Rat Fink/Big Daddy Roth inspiration for the car.
