that’s a certified kraut heater right there. we owe so much to the germans who decided to make weird music in the 70s.

about halfway thru and it’s incredible, sounds like they never stopped making music. this is such a great bookend to an amazing band. rip to bill and will.

new album from olivia tremor control? (agent cooper voice) what year is it?

surf and turfin tonight. steak w chimi, crab cake w hollandaise, arugula salad dressed in a maple mustard vinaigrette

offering 90 days of a music streaming service with the purchase of a piece of analog audio equipment is a pretty funny example of algorithm slop

it’s pretty good. will need to listen a few more times to solidify how i feel about it but off the bat it didn’t pull me like We Will Always Love You did.

listening to the new avalanches album

got tickets to You Can See Everything for Thursday next week, didn’t realize there were so many pre-screenings in philly

these “wonder” shadow restaurants/ghost kitchens/ whatever are yet another symptom of our deep societal rot. hard to be optimistic about a world where “wonder” exists at all.

not next up but gonna give one of these a crack soon i think….

have about 50 pages of gravity’s rainbow left, wanna try and finish it today but we’ll see…

louder for the people in the back 🗣️🗣️🗣️ listen to ME i don’t wanna hear about YOU 🙌

saw the history of concrete, it was good but ultimately left me feeling like i watched 6 How To with John Wilson episodes taped together

why are all modern digital audio players just a big flat touch screen. it’s a single use device! it is there to play music! give me buttons and tactile response! touch screens work on phones bc they’re so modular and do so many different tasks but i assure you, tech manufacturer, buttons are ok.

cvs filling my prescriptions this morning: yeah let’s fill one at like 10am and another later on today, colin needs to learn patience

no it’s totally fine, i get it. you need the adderall wizard to come in to fill my script, but my beta blocker can be handled by the tech. makes sense to me.

listening to records on my hifi set up never fails to feel like magic. digital music? completely impressed. not mystified at all. makes sense that it works. analog music stored in groves on a plastic disc? incredible, mystical, magical.

at some point this has to become the standard view. digital tech will become less miraculous to the general populace and people will become more enamored with analog tech. cool streaming service dude i have my music stored on oil in my house.

the amount of dutch oven and slow cooker recipes i see on instagram where the person in the video totally neglects to brown their meat first makes me sad. they hate flavor.
