I cant wait to read that McCabe book. I read some snippets posted at The Atlantic yesterday, very interesting stuff.

Old news, this all happened back in the summer of 69

Used records can still be found at decent prices. An estate sale I was at last Friday was liquidating a DJs collection who started spinning in the late 70s. I picked up 4 records (The Fixx and The Cars debuts, Townsend's Empty Glass and Supertramps Breakfast) in great shape for 10 bucks.

Marx Bros "Duck Soup". Love this flick so much!

Hearing Jerry's laugh always makes me smile. Just saying, he had a great laugh.

Plus, Kane is on FIRE!

Its strange to see the Hawks play just awful (especially during the first half of the season) and then they'll have a period where they play like 3 time Stanley Cup winners.

Remphish, I have contacts with legal headhunters within my firm, ping me if you want to chat.

Lammy, Hawks aint bottom feeders. Hell, they are just making the season interesting. :-)

Today I'm thinking about how cool it was to see the Blackhawks score 4 goals in under 3 minutes last night. They are on a 5 game winning hot streak to get that wild card spot in the playoffs.

Calvino-bong thread?

Yeah, the parents were full blown morons.

We watched "Abducted in Plain Sight" last night. Crazy, crazy, crazy documentary. The 1970s were such a different time.

Speaking of Jerry, you know whats a pretty good semi-new release? That "Before the Dead" 4 CD set. All kinds of folk and bluegrass tunes featuring JG playing with Hunter, Jerry's wife, David Nelson, etc. I was familiar with the Sleepy Hollow Hog Stompers but The Black Mountain Boys group was on fire, Jerry just cookin on that banjo.

Reading K.K. Downing's (of Judas Priest) autobiography now. Halfway thru, kinda dry.

Having not read Already Dead, I cant give an opinion

Today, I was thinking about how great fleece lined jeans are in the winter

I love Denis Johnson but for some reason I couldn't get thru that one. I hope you have better luck than I did

Started watching "The Good Place" recently. A really funny show on broadcast TV? Wonders never cease...

Welcome to the party, uncool!

Not often does one get to see such an epic failure. My house erupted in laughter when it all went down. Has Cody been fired yet?

Thanks A-Man but I'll pass on your offer

Thanks A-Man. I'm gonna keep an eye out for those as I trawl thru my estate sales

"Dispatches" by M. Herr. Fantastic book.

Just found out the book that Full Metal Jacket is based on is called "The Short-Timers" by Gustav Hasford. I thought I'd pick up a copy and learned that they run about $500, used. Whoa!

Welcome back to vinyl! We spun albums all afternoon yesterday

Watched  "The Overnight" last night. I suppose that means the xmas season is officially over at my house.

Watched "Birdbox" on Netflix last night. SWING......and a miss. Besides John Malkovich relishing his role as an a-hole, its a long 2 hours. And why do screenwriters insist on messing with the book handed to them? Most of the second half of the film didn't happen in the book.
