I've got to think on this more but I know my favorite record of the year is Particle Kid "Time Capsule". It's a bit overlong but overall it's a stunner. I saw them open for the Flaming Lips a few weeks ago & they definitely bring it live. Micah Nelson is moving up my favorite musician list fast.

surpisingly good

It would be cool if Susan sang a Christine McVie song.

Jealous!

nice tribute

RIP Christine McVie. 1 of her last recordings, really nice song.

Perhaps I didn't get it on the right thread but wanted to put it out there. I have a lot (too much) going on right now & was being lazy. Glad I pointed it out to you. I don't know why I hesitated on the series at first. Probably because it was described as a comedy by some & I'm not really into comedy right now. Also, I was a little sick of Jeremy Allen White after the trainwreck that was the end of "Shameless". Glad I saw the error of my ways!

1 of the greats. I'm glad I went & saw her on the last tour. https://consequence.net/2022/11/christine-mcvie-fleetwood-mac-dead/

Wow, episode 7 with Spiders (Kidsmoke) the soundtrack to the kitchen chaos was stunning. I hope season 2 is as good as season 1 was & they don't ruin it.

From what I read, the same team responsible for Rogue 1 was in charge of Andor. Rogue 1 is by far my favorite recent Star Wars movie even though it's kind of a WW2 movie redone. Lots of good plot twists, no happy ending (waving ghosts, teddy bear creatures etc).

I really love Bettye. Saw her at a jazz club & my table was right up to the stage. She actually played her version of "Love Reign O'er Me" for me. At that point she wasn't doing it every show. It was fantastic! Fascinating life story.

Definitely will watch this when it's available to me.

USA advances. Whew!

I got my 20th anniversary edition of Flaming Lips "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" yesterday. Talk about deluxe! 6 cds, a poster & a nice book with interviews of Wayne & Steven. The package has all the radio sessions, b-sides, EPs & 2 concerts. + a few demos. I had a lot of it before but definitely not all. It's nice to have it all in one place. & it's not very expensive. There's a 5 LP vinyl version coming in 2023 also

A friend went & saw Lemonheads this weekend & was really disappointed. He said Evan was really fooked up to the point where my friend felt sorry for him. My friend ended up walking out on the show.

Impossible Germany on "The Bear". I'm behind on tv but this is a pretty good series. Obviously the music is in a good place!

Via Chicago on "The Bear".

The long awaited England - US match was deadly dull. I really hate 0-0 matches. I guess it's the American in me. That match was 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. BTW: even though I'm not a huge soccer fan I am an Arsenal supporter. I have a friend in England that got me hooked. My friend got attacked returning from a match & was in a bad way. I got in touch with the club & they were so awesome! I even got all the way to Arsene Wenger! Wenger himself wrote my friend a letter which gave him a boost when he really needed it. Top notch & classy organization!
