I've had the glasses for years now and was going to post them a couple Saturday's ago, only to realize I didn't actually own the FDS version of the game. Had to rectify that one!

Oh boy, candy corn beer! Was hoping this would taste completely disgusting, but it tastes like Shock Top with a bit of a sugary cereal aftertaste.

Watching Iggy Pop hosting 120 Minutes doing a top 20 alternative videos of 1992. Between most videos Iggy makes fun of the term "alternative" as a way to describe music 😁

And at the end, rather than promoting his album, he read some poetry. They gave him some time, then started playing the credits over top of him and fading in the #1 song while those rolled. He continued still, ever louder.

Happy Friday! Here's Punkin Ale from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. Good Fall spices without smacking you in the face. Digging the pumpkin skull can artwork with the Misfits mop.

I honestly forget if I already own the original vinyl release. but at $230 (plus shipping) I'm gonna pass regardless. Great collection of music, but I'll stick with the CDs. Bracing for the price of Machina CD box set next weekend (which I will inevitably purchase). madamezuzus.com/product/the-...

I still struggle with katakana (skill issue). But it's fun to try and work out what a word is. Some times it ends up being a German or French word, and I've spent five minutes trying to wrangle it into English! Today's encounter was エオルゼア, which is just a made-up Final Fantasy word!

I built an app to tune into Internet streams of local/indie/college radio stations. It's a lot of talk and classical and jazz and NPR. But sometimes it's a small station in Montana playing an extended block of Judas Priest in the middle of the day. And things like that are exactly why I made it.
