iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Limits to storage space and my wife's patience have lately kept me from buying weird records purely for the sake of their weirdness ... but I will be cold in the ground before I leave an a cappella version of Talking Heads classic Psycho Killer behind. #NowSpinning The Flying Pickets - Lost Boys

I filled a big hole in my collection this week. It's not my favourite Neil album but my obsessive nature wouldn't let me leave it behind. #NowSpinning Neil Young - Harvest

I will say that the one thing I miss about peak Twitter was the speed where it felt like you could meet new people. I miss that. I'd love to meet more folks

trying to add "no bilingual packaging" to a trade deal with Canada at the 11th hour is hilarious, it's like trying to add "and ban handguns" to the US side of the agreement

Odd bits of lyric that get stuck in my head monthly. Part one. "Walk like a matador - don't be chicken-shit and turn breezes into rivulets."

Tom would write his name on his album covers in case he was ever invited to a party and wanted to bring his music with him. He need not have bothered. That's okay. Tom preferred drinking alone in his room anyway. #NowSpinning Brendan Behan Sings Irish Folksongs And Ballads

Like the Velvet Underground of prog rock, they sold few albums but everyone who bought one started a band. Luckily most of these people got very stoned, misplaced their Minimoog Model D synthesisers and forgot the idea entirely. #NowSpinning Van Der Graaf Generator - H to He Who am the Only One
