This week a man online claims his chicken bears a passing resemblance to David Byrne and well, opinions are being had about it.

I see a lot of great shows that I like made the list but some of the rankings are a little puzzling. 30 Rock in particular sticks out like a sore thumb. It's not a bad show but it's just ok. It's nice to see Veep right up there as well as the inclusion of Watchmen and Twin Peaks.

It's the start of Fall so that means it's beginning of second Summer here in Southern California. Have fun with your pumpkin spiced lattes, everyone.

Thank you! It’s been at times a very painful experience learning to ride it but it’s also been a fantastic tool to get to areas too far to reach by car or by foot. The average elevation was around 10,000 feet and quite cold too at around 48 degrees Fahrenheit.

Super cozy looking too. If I sit on a couch like that I’m not getting up for hours. Good thing all those books are there.

That was a pretty good collab. Their second collab 3 years ago was pretty decent as well. It still blows my mind he convinced BoC to do a remix for him. He might be the most mainstream artist BoC has ever worked with.

If you don't mind sorting through ebay, you can find copies of some of these. I only just found out about it after I messaged a friend this picture, got serious fomo from it and went out searching online.

I was not aware of this. How much cooler would it have been though if he swapped Luke and Vader's faces for Richards. 😄

Probably on account that it's been over 20 years since he quit making iconic music videos to pursue different creative interests while also living a more private life.

Remembered I owned these after finding them during a de cluttering session last weekend. I think they've been out of print for a long while too. Hadn't watched any of these in what feels like forever and it's been quite a trip down several decades of music culture lane the last couple of nights.

The sting of that first shower after coming back from a xcountry hike and your legs are scratched up from the all prickly bushes you had to make your way through. The views though.

I had the privilege of seeing them live back in 1993 with Johnny Marr on guitar while touring Dusk. They had such an amazing energy. Also, this song was so ahead of their time. It still sounds fresh. You could fool ears by saying the composition came out last week.

I have so many movies on my queue as well and it doesn't help that watching the same comedies I've been watching for the last decade help me regulate during the work week when I come home after work.

I've always liked Boards Of Canada's Geogaddi track "Sunshine Recorder" but admittedly I never asked myself what exactly is a sunshine recorder. I always just imagined a tape recorder "capturing" the sounds of sun rays. And well, I wasn't too far off. Sort of: www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/...

Been dealing with getting rid of old concrete and doing follow up clean up recently as well. It’s tough on the body. I hope you are not too badly sore. Rest easy, good sir. Best of luck with the project.

What a strange feeling knowing that in all likelihood these three saplings will still be around a thousand years from now. Long after you, I and this online platform have ceased to exist. I wonder how much bigger they’ll be by then.

There are two research stations a couple of miles out from where this sits but if you’ve been to them, you’d know either station has plenty of more appropriate space to host this. But perhaps this container predates both stations. If so, it would begin to make a lot more sense. www.wmrc.edu

It certainly is. It's about the size of a very small bedroom I think. Maybe 10 feet wide by 18 feet long. But I certainly wouldn't recommend it. I'd be concerned about contracting Hanta virus or breathing in mold.

I never know what I may run into in the middle of the mountains but an empty storage container is the least likely I’d expect.

This is such an immersive album. I feel it's very easy to go places in your mind with it and because of it, I've never been able to put this album on and just have it play in the background. I set time aside to listen to it.

A man came up to me at a restaurant yesterday asking "Is it really, you?" I replied "Well, I am me, so yes?". He was so happy, he gave me the biggest hug. I didn't have the heart to tell him I didn't know him so I just hugged him back, talked to him, and made him feel seen. Felt like he needed that.

Register box at the summit of Piute Mountain (12,561 ft), overlooking the Eastern Sierra Nevada. The temperature at the top was in the high 40s which felt so discombobulating given the time of the year and the fact it was nearly 100 degrees down at the valley. That’s nature for you.

That's great to hear. Not quite cycling but I have been riding my ebike a lot more often this year and I'm finally feeling my riding skills improving on dirt roads which has been a big struggle for years. No luck on the weather here though. It's been hot and miserable. 🥵
