But then I sigh, and, with a piece of scripture,
Tell them that God bids us do good for evil:
And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

I would not have thought of pairing the Plastic Ono Band with the Manhattan Transfer as openers.

New tech is predicated on hating the old tech, the old practices.

A nice assortment of mosses on one of those concrete things in a parking lot.

Close up of the mosses. Either there’s a variety or a few species that present quite differently.

This was correct then and remains so.

Perhaps what they are really saying is, "don't launder money through the opaque high end art market, launder it with us, your tech friends".

There are quite a few along the seashore where we regularly walk. They are surprisingly large, especially when they fly close overhead! And yes, hearing the communication amongst the smaller birds is a dimension of the natural world that I am happy to be aware of!

DDT did a job on these birds. Much worse than it did on the Ramones. Heartening to see their populations growing.

Weird bus jacking in the US sounds terrifying, but in Canada it went like this: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Just the fact there is a stamp they use for this…

Thank you for writing this. Without Silberman or Thoughts still around I was really hoping someone would come through.

Grateful Dead are now like the inverse of Spinal Tap, with only the drummers remaining.

Street view of a building with circular window openings, with rectangular frames within them, on the facade. There is a row of shops at the bottom of the photo.

A view from an upper storey showing three buildings. In the upper left part of the photo the upper floors of a building with circular window openings can be seen. It is behind and to the left of two other buildings with the usual glass wall facades.

Reminds me of this one in Vancouver.

You’re on to something. The juxtaposition of Lust for Life and Mr Magoo might just be the entire origin story of the dumdum boys.

Carmelita Pope gave us a map to where she had stashed - for no good reason - a case of Pam in the forest. #levidrome

Ticket stub from a Frank Zappa and the Mothers show at the McMaster University Phys-Ed Complex, December 7, 1975. That’s 50 years ago in human years, more for dogs. $6.00 admission.

December 7, 1975 was a Sunday too. I was young and, frankly, bewildered. #zappa
