I don't normally watch sports. My personality is too far removed from most of them. The Formula 1 race at COTA today had me absolutely captivated. Everyone had to know it was a race for 2nd place well before lap ten.

I was thinking of decorating my winter jacket this year. Now I miss JoAnn again. 💔

I finally got to spend around an hour in Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV. The Citroen race was fun. Yeah, maybe I spent more credits tuning it than buying it. I'm looking forward to trying Sportsland Sugo and the new Xiaomi Vision. I'm a single player casual with too nice of a rig to be this casual.

I enjoyed the new Carrie series far more often than not. There were choices made and I probably understand why. The cast did their jobs almost perfectly. Lillard is always a joy to watch. I don't watch much television, so it's nice to enjoy a show this much.

It's a bold move to say “The Cards are Always Right.” In this week’s show: reasons to believe, causes for skepticism, and some helpful suggestions as to WHAT to do and what NOT to do when the cards don’t add up. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Or, watch on YouTube! youtu.be/5kFcNMyQtp4

There was a time when the Internet looked more like Elf Only Inn than whatever we're doing now. I miss those better days. www.elfonlyinn.net/d/20020523.h...

I'm not getting into the whole "fake goth vs. real goth" debate, except to say this: None of the people on either side have made their arguments through enough layers of reverb and delay for me to consider any of them "real" goths.

So many film reviews for "The Long Walk" sound just like Randal Graves describing the Lord of the Rings.

I'm somehow late to the party about a new @bumsyandmoochers.bsky.social album being on the way. I stumbled into a copy of Diet Violence and immediately enjoyed it.

I'm curious about it. ngl.link/arcanasphere

On this day in 2023 we released our Chaos Magick EP! It is still important to our sound and career- if you’ve never listened to it, today’s a great day to listen to it and Harmonic Convergence back to back!! megainfinity.bandcamp.com/album/chaos-...

I remember buying Magic the Gathering decks for a few dollars. In return, you gained a fantasy world to step into. It was a lot more meaningful than viewing price guides and investment opportunities. youtu.be/C0xA0j2pVuw This might be part of why I'm surrounded by tarot decks now.

14 individual notifications for YouTube Shorts got sent my way yesterday. Fourteen. I'll look for ways to turn those off specifically. There are other notifications that I do want. Fourteen algorithmically determined interruptions was way too many.

According to my inbox, the new @devonkaysolutions.bsky.social record has the world's greatest album cover art.

"We are dead and this is Hell."

I once built an entire song around the Electro-Faustus Guitardammerung. It does exactly what it claims to do. I'm trying to put myself back into the state of mind where that kind of play is common. youtu.be/KfUfZ5NbICo

I'm in another mood for sleazy music about fast cars.

I went to a donut store near a race track. My inner twelve year old had a wonderful time in the parking lot Two Corvettes and a Porsche, all with racing numbers on them. Pre-teen me loved those cars. Adult me keeps hearing the race track and got into Gran Turismo 7.

Stay inside on 11/7/2026. We are playing our brand new full length live on Twitch for totally free! We are bringing our buds Gosh Diggity along for the ride and making this a real SHOW. Pro sound, well shot, all free. FOLLOW ON TWITCH TO STAY IN THE LOOP. #punk #ska #twitch #livestream

I have seen this band in concert more than any other artist. Their shows something rare and wonderful between the music, the band, and the other fans you meet. I should probably go shop for new clothes. mylifewiththethrillkillkult.com/shop

I'm about to completely disable YouTube notifications on my phone. They are sending what feels like a dozen a day for shorts to watch. I have things to do without the constant interruptions.

I've been reading tarot on and off since 2010, with a big reset that started in 2019. Then I spent the stay-at-home years mail ordering decks and books. There were times when I was too busy reading books about tarot to read the cards. Maybe I can ramble about some indie decks now and then.

One of the first things I would do after winning a large amount of money... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_...

YouTube suggested a video which stated that side 1 of a compact disc was recorded at the wrong speed. Side 1 of a compact disc. I'm pretty sure it was generated by an LLM. I hope it was, to be honest.

It feels like I had been able to find every flavor of Faygo except my favorite: Rock & Rye. Today was the first time I had Rock & Rye in many, many years. It brought happiness. And I still have eleven more cans. Imagine cream soda with cherry in it. It's good

I have never seen the movie High Fidelity.

Trying something different. Playing Pokemon crystal legacy (an incredible gen 2 rom hack) on the @megainfinity.band twitch channel. Doing a hard mode run. Come hang poke fans! LIVE NOW: m.twitch.tv/megawednesda...

I might get chatty here about the CDs I'm going through -- like finding this in one of the boxes: "Freddy's Favorites: The Best of A Nightmare on Elm Street." It has the music from themotorcycle scene in part 5. That alone makes it worth it. www.discogs.com/master/11862...

I wish that there was someone in person to ramble to whole going through those CDs. Helios will listen. He's a cat though. He will also try to send them to the floor. All things return to floor.

Every time my fitness app praises me for having an active day, the activity was the secondary effect of engaging with music. Today is was hauling those boxes of CDs around. I need to engage with music more frequently. youtu.be/EB5iuiIeViw

The "box or two" of compact discs I thought were in my storage unit turned out to be four boxes. Hundreds of albums. I can probably tell a story related to over 95% of them. What I was experiencing when it was new to me. Something about the band or recording. youtu.be/-CBTyi-ovO8

I've been listening to this today for the first time in way too long. A lot of it hits the same as when I was a teenager. A lot feels somehow more joyful and hopeful.

Every time I watch Freddy's Dead, I can't help seeing Ned Flanders. Every state has a Springfield. #MutantFam #NightmareOnElmStreet #noes

From Wikipedia: "The vocal tracks for 'Pandemonium', 'Exorcism' and 'Millennium' were recorded in the King's Chamber of The Great Pyramid of Giza." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemo...

I'd love to see the look on this guy's face when he finds out who wrote his favorite phone apps.

Oh lovely. The email service that was part of my web hosting plan for over a decade is now a separate service. It costs just under $6 per month.

I'm finally pulling files off of my "old" Windows machine in order to retire it. This includes music projects that can get moved to my new machine. The only thing "wrong" with the old machine was it having a an older HDD rather than a solid state drive. 😥

One more thing about Helios: That cat is not afraid to make it very clear when it's too late to look at a screen He has bitten me (gently) just to tell me put the phone down. It was bedtime. He is a good cat, a good friend, and extremely wise.

To this day, the cat Helios insists on riding on my left shoulder while being transported through the house. Every time he pounces onto my arm, I feel blessed and grateful. I didn't know cats really did that. Now Helios has declared that I am his chariot.

Sometimes I see the talk about Streetlight Manifesto and feel grateful that it was the post 2010s bands who made a ska fan out of me.
