Oh I knew, just pushing Gandhi to make up his damn mind

So which is it?

I think (hope ) Madueke is a good call this week. Maddison has been for 2 months

I regularly say “back off Brussels” but no one here gets it

100% sincere- that is a spectacular photograph! Definitely worth more than a mere thousand words

Regardless of one’s opinion of Steely Dan, this entire thread is pure gold

Enjoyed that one. Though after this & Partridge it was always weird to see Rebecca Front as the gaffer on Lewis

That you, Nessa?

Here’s an excellent article on Albini from The Ringer https://www.theringer.com/music/2024/5/9/24153032/teve-albini-died-legacy-nirvana-in-utero-big-black-shellac-tweets-pixies

Isn’t that an Oasis album cover?

anyone here watch this? None of my friends did and I am dying to hear what others thought. My wife stuck with it to the end but I think she didn’t care for it. It’s pretty much one of a kind, definitely a “not for everybody” kind of thing

here in northern California we entered the “hot” season 5-6 weeks back and it will run until mid/late October. I will leave the conversions to you, but we’ve already had numerous 90+ days and look to have several near 100 in the middle of next week. Once summer truly takes hold we are pretty much 90+ every single day from some time in June until October. We have a lot of 100+ days and temps of 115 are not unheard of. But it is dry, which makes an enormous difference. Lived in humidity (North Carolina & Texas) first 30 years of my life and dry is infinitely preferable Sorry for the hijack, here’s a photo from 2 months back that is on-topic
