Sorry to hear of the passing of iconoclastic [for lack of a better word] indie rock figure Steve Albini. I have friends who recorded and hung out with him and although I disagree with some of his hotter takes, I’m sad for their loss and that of the greater community

@SourceRolls 61 is too young, even for a curmudgeon. Gonna spin Surfer Rosa today and enjoy the mic placements.

#CatSleepingContest

Update !!

Bad news for Eve, Lily is still in the box.

Anyone's game to be honest, a little belly fur, a tail-to-nose the day is young.

Here is the leader board.

  1. Lily
  2. Eve
  3. Esther
  4. Jumpy

@mrcompletely @tor_haxson The contest's timing is astute. That box had fallen out of favor for many weeks until a sudden change in preference happened a couple of days ago. I think Lily knew she had to be on her A-game in order to compete with Eve, Esther, Jumpy, and Girl Trouble, et al.

The son who avoided a TBI this morning has delivered! As promised, Cupcake is on her back in play-off form taking full advantage of the perfect combination of full sun, perfect temperatures, and a cool breeze.

Pinchy is definitely over-performing in her favorite indoor nap spot. She's typically in a tight curl, so the full extension curl with chin perched on paws is a high degree of difficulty and a real stretch for her.

#CatSleepingContest

Another tortoise shell cat napping in an elongated curl on a blue sheepskin in a modern chair.

@tor_haxson @mrcompletely @wobs Shrimp pose is tough to beat. Nice work, Pinchy.

Oregonians: I'll be out there next week with my wife/kids (7 & 11), staying with her aunt/uncle in Lake Oswego and Neskowin. Our local hosts will take good care of us - planning side trips to Hood, CRG, etc. - but do you recommend any primo family attractions/hikes, eateries, breweries, dispensaries, live music spots, or other happenings? (I'll try to restrain myself from record shopping, and I think we'll just miss Kamasi Washington.)
@mrcompletely @caravan @thesizzler @SourceRolls others?

@mrcompletely The Elk Rock website has a concise history of the property. Apparently the new owners are related to the original owners. (Check the "history" tab)

thesizzler,
@thesizzler@heads.social avatar

@SourceRolls @mrcompletely @caravan @BEK97 Tryon Creek State Park is very much worthwhile and there's a seriously underrated gorgeous spot on the highway between Lake O and Portland (M-F only, not open weekends): https://elkrockgarden.org/

thesizzler,
@thesizzler@heads.social avatar

@BEK97 @mrcompletely @caravan @SourceRolls In keeping with your classic PDX & environs itinerary I recommend the Japanese Garden and adjacent rose garden (in Washington Park), the Hinterland food cart pod on SE 50th (excellent bites at Burger Stevens and Matt's BBQ Tacos), Little Beast Brewing on SE Division (next door to Lauretta Jean's pie shop, which is also worth a visit), and the Archive Portland dispensary on SE Harold. (You should also visit Crossroads Records - just saying.)

thesizzler,
@thesizzler@heads.social avatar

@mrcompletely @SourceRolls @caravan @BEK97 It was formerly owned by the local Episcopal Diocese and was sold to a private owner last year. It's still open to the public, M-F, and still doesn't charge admission.

This "Wanda Vision" spinoff looks interesting. Darker too.

@mrcompletely @chopaganda @aburtch @Defiance Totally agree about Fraction in general, and his run with Hawkeye is seriously great.

thesizzler,
@thesizzler@heads.social avatar

@chopaganda @mrcompletely @aburtch @Defiance The Hawkeye miniseries also hewed comparatively close to the source material (Matt Fraction & David Aja's turn with Clint, c. 2010-12), which worked to its benefit

1960 collection of country / acoustic #blues featuring Robert Johnson, Furry Lewis, Blind Willie McTell, Bukka White, and more of the usual legendary subjects. Compiled by Sanuel Charters for RBF. Sunday listening. @vinylrecords

Old and blazingly white take coming:

Kendrick always had better flow but Drake has producers, pace, and beats to make you run through a brick wall.

Kdot is weirder, which would be a plus in any other genre of music but rap, which I like straight-on, hard, & boom-bap, because I grew up on 90s East Coast rap.

Kendrick is more authentic & angry in these diss tracks. He's vicious, honestly, maybe too much. Drake seems like he's putting on airs (and he is, I mean... DeGrassi).

Kdot is winning.

Hang up your hang ups. 2015 AAA pressing on Speakers Corner of this 1975 Japanese-only LP (released in the US and EU in 2014-15). You like Headhunters? You like the Hancock funk? You'll like this. #vinyl #HerbieHancock #HeadHunters @vinylrecords

A one-two hit from honky tonk hero Carl Smith. No overlap between these two comps of Carl's early fifties best; one's on Columbia, the other's on Rounder. @vinylrecords

My second-favorite Eggleston photo used for an album cover. Underrated Spoon record, I think. Bonus photo for the sentiment on the inner. @vinylrecords

The first album I bought on CD. This edition not only puts that version to shame, but obliterates the earlier wax pressing. Richard Lloyd and Robert Quine on the same album is noteworthy enough, but "classic" status requires songs and Girlfriend has them in spades. @vinylrecords

@mrcompletely About halfway through, myself (podcast eps are commute soundtracks) and Jesse couldn't have picked better weather for an ep about a boogie.
