#MusicChallenge #WorldAtoZ Day 27 W Terry Allen - Wichita KS About 20 years ago, an artist acquaintance gave me a 1981 Fate Records reissue of Juarez and I’ve been hooked ever since. Top of the line storytelling, spot on humor, great collaborators ☀️ youtu.be/4QfYEI7Yj1c?...

So amazing to see the majesty of Chelsea Wolfe and her band last night at the Curran Theater in SF. Still in awe.

Re-reading @greatdismal.bsky.social’s Pattern Recognition after a long while. I had forgotten the part about Cayce being addressed as Mistress Muji, due to Muji’s lack of logos. Which also reminded me that Muji makes the best book dividers (or in my case record dividers) www.muji.us/products/ste...

Steel Book Divider

A durable partition plate, made of steel. Great for organizing a bookshelf or desk as a bookend.

Don’t ask me why, but for some reason I’ve decided to watch Bewitched every night, starting with S01E01. Episode 3 could have very easily been a Mad Men episode 👀‼️

A description of Season 1, Episode 3 of Bewitched entitled It Shouldn’t Happen to a Dog. The episode description reads: Samantha turns Darrin’s lecherous client into a dog. The thumbnail image features Jack Warden as Mr. Barker.

I have been wanting to see The Beths live and in person for quite some time now, preferably in a small venue setting. Well, we got to see them last night performing in the Gundlach Bundschu Barn. Well worth the wait. They did not disappoint.

Happy National Vinyl Day? Please enjoy this photo of Neko sitting defiantly on top of my record shelf next to a copy of the amazing Big Blood QuaranTunes lathe-cut release by Feeding Tube Records. Also I need to find out where that extra large tarot card disappeared to… #cat #recordcollection

Had the pleasure of experiencing Spacemoth and La Luz perform tonight right here in my neck of the woods (not my actual woods, but near enough). So awesome!
