I saw Pitchshifter on that tour and they were amazing
I’ve been lucky to see them a few times and they’ve always been brilliant.

My comment made during the closing scene:

I could write a long response here, but I’ll simply say that anyone who thinks there is no difference between a Harris and Trump presidency is 100% wrong.
This! I don’t know how people didn’t vote for the Dems knowing that Trump stood for everything they hate. A two party system is a lesser or greater of two evils. That’s it. “I don’t like Harris’ LGBTQ stance”. Fine. This is your vote and you can use it any way you want. Her stance was bullshit. But now you have Trump. His is not better.

The book felt like it lost its way after #100,
You’re right about that, it just felt a bit aimless until it started heading for the end straight. Thanks for the recommendation, it’s not the kind of book I usually read and this was a joy to read.

Shade: The Changing Man Omnibus – no date listed
1104 pgs – issues 1 – 41
Man, I loved this back in the day. This is a definite maybe, but want that price to come down.
I have all these in singles and I haven’t read them in decades. Would love this. Though it should run to issue 50.

So Tom Talyor’s run on Nightwing is finished. I’m not sure I’ve ever had as much fun with a superhero book. Just straight up great storytelling, great art and more heart (no pun intended) than pretty much any other comic I’ve read in a very long time.
Thanks to whoever it was recommended in this thread. -

The first two episodes of Agatha all along were a lot of fun. It’s a bit daft, and the song in episode two might not have worked but I had more fun watching it than pretty much any other Marvel tv show. Kathryn Hahn is just a joy to watch and she seems to be having a great time.

The American Dollar – A Memory Stream
It’s Friday night, the TV is out, so let’s open a beer and write about music!
The American Dollar are a post-rock duo from Queens in New York. I have no idea where I came across them but seeing as this album came out in the mid ‘00s, I’m guessing it was off The SIlent Ballet or After the Post Rock. They seem the most likely culprits.
The American Dollar play an electronic version of post rock, and a friend described them as Sigur Ros without the noisy bits. Which is pretty close to be honest.
This album is beautiful.
The delicate interplay between the keys and guitar carve a space to let you just relax into the music. It always sounds bright and warm and clear. It’s languid in the best way, like a lazy summer day, where the sun is going down and you’re exhausted yet happy and you feel that this is how life should be.
Wow, that got hyperbolic.
This isn’t gossamer ambient music though that description may lead you to think so. There are drums right up the mix, driving, almost break beats, pushing this along. The opening tracks, The Slow Wait pt1&2 pull you into this world slowly lulling you in with its gentle piano before those drums I was talking about come pulsing in. It takes my breath away every time.
Bump is a full on post rock masterpiece that just soars but not with the usual layers of distortion, TMD just have their mix so all the instruments just build on each other and it lets the music fly. And that’s how this album works, gliding between the dazzling peaks and the chilled troughs, all while keeping me in my happy place.
And in a perfect segue, this brings me to the album highlight.
Anything you Synthesize was my go to song when I went traveling for 16 months a very long time ago. From chilling out in Vietnam, to climbing glaciers in New Zealand, to staring out a bus window in Columbia, it was a musical comforter that helped me deal with all the strangeness and loneliness that can come with long term travel. It still can act as a comfort blanket to this day, those opening piano notes still carry me away to beautiful places where I can feel the sun on my face and not have a care in the world.
Just listen to this.
Great times and a beautiful album remember them by.

Watched the Fall Guy film.
It’s ridiculous, needlessly meta, half assed romcom where a bunch of stunt actors spend the entire time showing off.
