Concert survival gear for going to shows in your late 40's. Compression socks (I gave up looking cool long ago) and Eargasm ear plugs – yay for hearing this morning!

Looking down at legs with black compression socks that have 3 white stripes at the top by the knee.

Finally under plexiglass: the original LEGO Ideas build and the big one.

NO DISINTEGRATIONS. 6/6! $3 for an IG-88 to complete the set. Two days later LEGO announced the Executor with all of these minifigures included for $800 USD. I like my cheaper way better. Just sayin'.

I got to teach my kids about the dagger moth caterpillar (cool name). Slightly toxic. If you touch it, the hairs get stuck in your skin, causing a rash that burns. I think I'll wait until it's a moth to see it again.

I don't make it out to the record store as much as I'd like, so my wife brought the store to me!

Remaining episodes of The Hard Volume Experience are in-progress and for inexplicable reasons I thought "more of this" would be good. In addition to whatever The Experience does next, I've got a solo project, The Borowicz Rapport® in development. 💩's about to get real and I might live to regret it.

I'm deeply saddened at the loss of Phil Campbell today. A mainstay to the later classic era – Motörhead was so big they had TWO classic eras – his work with Mikkey Dee and Lemmy cannot be overstated. I'm taking some time with my favorite of their live recordings now, a 1998 show in Hamburg.

I've been trying out the OpenRun Pro2 by Shokz. They use bone conduction unlike conventional earbuds that put the sound directly into yer ear holes. If you've not read my posts about it before, the gist is I can't tolerate regular headphones or earbuds. Pretty painful: Jaw pain, ear pain, gnarly.

It's been about a week and while there's some irritation, it's been pretty tame. Not nearly as painful. I think that I could do short times at low volume with these but nothing long like 40 minutes to an hour. The experiment continues.

Not a bad haul today. There was a record show a town over – I almost didn't go. Glad I went (with support from my fam) and supported some indies. Got an original ’69 pressing of "In a Silent Way", a Hüsker Dü, a Japanese pressing of "Wired", and an audiophile grade of Gordo’s "Sundown".

John is 80. He's surrounded by his family and playing his songs that he now, rightly owns, just like Taylor Swift. I'm not sure life gets any better. This is a LEGACY.

The new album, "The End" from Mammoth arrived a couple of days early and, well… it's another GEM 💎 from Wolfgang. Sounds great on the turntable and there's enough Van Halen tapping to go around for everyone. Tappy-tappy-tap-tap. So good. Check it out when it officially comes out tomorrow.

It's here! The junior album from Mammoth, no longer Mammoth WVH. Maybe this 🆕 album will pay the legal fees for acquiring the name?
