Clan Cavalier had our last dinner in “the blue room” last night. No we are not moving. The dining room is getting new color, a sideboard/buffet and a new light fixture. Post-redo pics to come later. Thanks for ten years, Old Bluey.

see this photo? yeah, this is everything that's wrong with the democrat party. He should have punched that cunt in the face because that's what you do to nazis in America.

How are we dealing with the pending end of America? Earliest. Christmas. Ever. New tree for our newish space. She’s 6” too tall for the basement but the lights twinkle and change color.

Goddammit my kids are awesome. 15yo at the antique mall remembered this was one of my favorite albums and picked it up for me.

🎧 You know those bands that make you angry and happy at the same time?? For me, it's always the Manics. Long live MSP.

"I'll send you postcards every single day
Just to prove I still exist
This world will not impose its will
I will not give up and I will not give in
And I will not give up and I will not give in"

Music is always going to be there for you.

🎧 Lots of "albums for the moment" spinning in the studio these last few days. Midnight Oil's "Earth and Sun and Moon" is about as close to a concept album album as they ever got. Most of the songs read like a diary of a person coming to terms with their country's ever changing mood and landscape, for worse more than better. Feeling lost in a nation they no longer recognize and pining for simpler times, with less "stuff" and more nature.

🎧 About an hour ago - I thought to myself, "self, you are really mega-pissed off right now, but you have work and family and a thousand things are happening at once and you need to f-u-c-k-i-n-g maintain....dude". so yeah, i have to stay chill for the people that rely on me. But then I remembered what I used to do when i was YOUNG and angry that always got me over the hill.

The Who's "Quadrophenia" is now challenging my studio monitors to a bare knuckle brawl.

How much do i envy her? Sleeping soundly emitting doggie snores, with absolutely no idea of anything. She senses when we are unhappy or stressed, and doubles down on her love for us. How awesome it must be to have no worries, to be blissful, and content, at a time like this. Good luck, America. Your dogs are watching over you. We could all learn from them.

The Amazing Muze (my lovely wife) made a char-boo-terie board!

I waited in line for about 95 minutes, got a lollipop and a sticker.

I am having a REALLY hard week. I needed a few cocktails and this…(top bill not bottom). Sorry for my poor framing but its BEAT playing the music of 80s King Crimson.

Our gal Vi wanted to be a snail for H’ween. A snail. Naturally, Supermom made her a shell, complete with illuminated slime trail.

🎧 The Residents, "Demons Dance Alone". There have probably been more adjectives used to describe this "band" than any other. An acquired taste for sure. Conceptually there isn't any artist that comes close to what these guys have done. DDA was the Res' emotional response to 9/11, instead of reacting to the geo-political results, they made an album that reflects emotional responses after a "mechanized slaughter". It's one of their most listenable records.

🎧 Dada, "Dada"
This LA band put out a string of powerful records in the 90s, ginned up by some of the tightest harmonies since a certain other southern cal band, and the ri-DONK-ulous guitar playing of Michael Gurley. Another band that really should have been famous, but I'm kind of glad they weren't. They didn't compromise, they kept the songs close to the heart, and the arrangements crisp. They didn't make a bad record. Long live Dada.
