Only been following for a week or so since finding you here on Bluesky. Coincidentally, just started to re-read Peripheral and will re-read Agency next. It would be sublime serendipity to hear that Jackpot will be released this fall so I can continue the story-line.

Actually I enjoy Campari -- I know it's not a taste for everyone.

You give me too much credit for understanding Mia so well. But I did have to do the paste-ups to fix things like en dashes that should have been em dashes.

KoalaJack @koalajack.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

One of the things I love about Mia is her adroit use of copyediting geeksplaining to give herself time to process a tricky conversation. As a former pasteup artist, I got it!

I love instrumentals. So many great bands released instrumentals -- some on albums but mostly as B-sides. Why didn't Talking Heads?

KoalaJack @koalajack.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Isn't it a shame that Johnny Marr is not active on bluesky?

Wow, brings back memories of hearing this in my girlfriend's dorm room first year at college!

Literally just read that chapter last night. Mia was so bold to answer without makeup and wearing glasses!

LOL, I was out walking and clicked on the Lithium icon in the SiriusXM app on my phone but was wondering why @genebaxter.bsky.social was being so quiet. Of course, I had found the "just music" channel by accident. Sorry, Bean!

Yes I can stream Transmission again! I missed you and the Manatees, Jake!

Wish I could stream Twitch on my cruise because I know this Transmission is just awesome.

I don't have enough followers to make this worth my while but what do I know? -- there's no way to find out how many non-followers see my posts.

Sorry to contradict but those are tools, you are the source of art.

A pic of the female Diana fritillary (Speyeria diana) butterfly that I saw last week. It was one of two that I spotted that day. This stream valley park in Herndon, VA is pretty far from their nearest habitat in the Appalachian mountains. #photography #butterflies #insects

Clearly, season 2 is not just book 2 (which did not have any humans from book 1 in the story). I hope the screenwriters don't go to far afield with the story-line in order to include last season's actors.

KoalaJack @koalajack.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I spotted this gorgeous female Diana fritillary (Speyeria diana) butterfly, perhaps laying her eggs, on my walk today. #videography #butterfly

The correct name (despite what autocorrect thinks) is rudbeckia flugida.

KoalaJack @koalajack.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

The orange coneflower (rudbeckia fluids) is native to eastern North America. I just love the beautiful warm color. #photography #flowers

“Ladies and gentlemen, rock ‘n’ roll” 45 years ago today, MTV debuted as a 24-hour cable network playing nothing but music videos...changing the industry forever. We celebrate the occasion by playing many of those first day’s videos tonight on my Twitch channel starting at 8pm central. 📺

I’m fascinated by my neighbor’s Japanese banana (Musa basjoo). It’s a perennial in Northern Virginia and I’ve been tracking its annual resurgence. Now, in late July it’s about 10 ft/3 m tall. It can’t fruit under typical outdoor conditions here. #photography #plants

This evening my lovely spouse was puttering around in the kitchen and said she was working on a project. I said I was working on a project too -- The Manhattan Project.

It's fun to spot yourself in one of your pics @richardblade.bsky.social. I'm in one that you took from backstage on Howard Jones birthday in February 2025 and I will always be grateful that you posted it.

Was traveling so missed the show but checked song list spreadsheet and noticed there was no Seals & Crofts! Next time I'll make a request for "Summer Breeze"

Nah they are all zombies now so a hit to the head won't do a thing. Seriously though, that was surprisingly fresh.

Because I'm a contrarian I'll say "Theme for Great Cities". I love when a group includes an instrumental track on their releases.

KoalaJack @koalajack.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

There's a blast from the past! Heard it often on our local alternative radio station when it was first released but not at all since. Had almost forgotten it completely and took me months to track it down again because I did forget the group's name.
