The “they have a cave troll” scene from LOTR needs to be redone with the Portland frog in place of the troll

When I think about what might bring on the Butlerian Jihad in the Dune novels, I no longer frame it as "the machines started thinking."

I now frame it as "the people stopped thinking."

That day many years back when Max (RIP) helped himself to a steak while unloading groceries
A dog looking guiltily at a package of steaks that he has opened and eaten one of the steaks.

I don’t think it’s a trilby - brim is too wide. But cool song, and nice to see/hear you on piano!

So many people make snarky comments about guys in fedoras. And I wear a fedora. But every time a see a photo of “let’s make fun of this guy in a fedora”, it’s actually a trilby. I don’t wear trilbys.

Ten hours left in Bandcamp Friday! If you're thinking of buying indie music, that makes today a great day to do it. May I recommend gozergoodspeed.bandcamp.com/album/flame-... or kiffie.bandcamp.com/album/justic...? (or even russsomers.bandcamp.com)
Flame Red Headlights [SINGLE], by Gozer Goodspeed

My experience was similar. Read about them, obsessed about the mythos. Defiantly non-genre-conforming

But we don’t know if it’s rock, folk, jazz, or something else. So there may need to be a Genre Reveal party. “Congratulations, it’s bluegrass!”

For C, I just blame Olivia Rodrigo. Her take on the riff was actually p cool, and Elvis was very cool about it when people called it theft - he said suing would be ludicrous.

(I think he said that, perhaps he said he was suing Ludacris, but I think I got it right)

It's a nice day to hear a bit of good news.

I'll leave it at that for now.

Enjoy the vagueness.

The photo rewards careful attention. For example, you can see just enough of the f-hole to know that is the Rose Morris version of the Rickenbacker 330.
