It's really lovely that they laid Bob Uecker to rest within earshot of the Milwaukee Brewers' first two World Series games. Fans left him flowers and a pumpkin!

If you see this, post a skeleton

old Milwaukee memory unlocked

Look at this poster, LOOK AT IT!!! Isn't this the most 1971 thing you ever saw?? As I remember it, it was a minor cultural moment. I should rewatch this one of these days it's been a few decades

Okay, hear me out, a Lord of the Rings remake but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

one of my kid's bands that is to say one of the multiple bands that one of my multiple kids is in. That's them on the floor

Statue in a downtown park I never noticed until just now. "Dedicated to the valiant immigrant mothers", it says.

Describe your musical taste in three artists, no genres 1. Voces8 2. Little Feat 3. heroin-period Bill Evans kinda difficult to limit it to 3, here

I will yell "Mambo!" from the audience every time I see West Side Story. No apologies forthcoming. Incidentally, West Allis community theater's current production punches above its weight. You can still go see it tonight 7pm, Sunday 2pm at the Liberace auditorium @ 50th & Greenfield

I guess a photo of someone holding a loaded weapon and pointing it in their mouth is goddamned funny to a certain kind of mind. To me it just provokes feelings of deep sadness. I hate it. I didn't expect it to show up on my feed. I don't expect I'll miss reading their comments.

You know what sucks? Being a descriptivist with aesthetic sensibilities.

A child moonlights as a movie theater projectionist

One great-grandfather, a former Secretary of State of Wisconsin, was kicked out of the banking industry for using a bank's assets to make (and lose) stupid bets on financial shenanigans. One of his sons was on the State Banking Commission at the time, this must have been extremely embarrassing

Deer Tick at Summerfest!

Citation needed on "most", bub. Raw milk cheeses younger than 60 days exist in Europe. Canada, too. But most cheese is commodity cheese, everywhere, and that's all going to be made from pasteurized milk for quality control reasons.

Myself, but as a cartoon:

Introducing myself with 10 bands or artists I've seen live: Tame Impala Bill Monroe & the Bluegrass Boys Paul O'Dette & Ronn McFarlane (at the same time!) Janelle Monáe John Fahey Peter Schickele Willie Dixon John Hartford MJ Lenderman John Prine

This bit's been going on for so long it's impossible to think of something good that no one's done before. Someone even did "Size 9 Feat" already. Okay ... Slightly increase a band Art Blakey & the Jazz Zoom Meetings sorry. stuff like that's all that's left

It was 1977, and the sleazebag who ran Champion Chicken on 87th & Lisbon paid me $1.76/hr to wash dishes and bus tables and get yelled at. That was the special wage for tipped employees but I was not actually a tipped employee. Worked all summer, came away with pocket change.

Hey we just had a 500 year flood 8 months ago... Close to 2" rain in the last 30 minutes

Carrizo Plain and the Temblor Range in the distance, California. Wildflowers are just starting. California Poppies and yellow things are blooming up in the hills.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19 www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTbS... Nonesuch was an amazing label back in the day

Post a banger not in English www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWgD... Monteverdi: writes a banger with basically only one note

Other lives I might have led happily: - Great Lakes freighter 2nd mate - symphony orchestra 3rd horn - pastry chef - violin maker - cartographer - furniture maker - cheesemaker - dilettante with a generous trust fund

Some (Saxony, Pomerania) were "Old Lutherans", who didn't want to join the official half-Lutheran half-Calvinist state Frankenchurch. Others (Mecklenburg, more Pomeranians) were draft dodgers. I usually get a chuckle from South Germans when I tell them my ancestors were sick of being Prussians

O they had better not do this, "Anne Boleyn's Lament" is RIGHT THERE www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK8W... Those dissonances with every "...I die..." are [chef's kiss]
