  • Ignoring the element of satire, I think that by today’s standards, Japanese Cowboy would be considered by most audiences to be racist, Piss Up a Rope to be sexist, and Mr. Richard Smoker to be homophobic.

    From my experiences growing up in the rural south, I interpreted Mr. Richard Smoker as riffing on the obviously wrong-headed fear about gay men being “drug addled, cross-dressing dick smokers who want to ‘convert’ my teenage boy”.

    Not to say that 12 Golden Country Greats isn’t an excellent album with an all-star ensemble of players and clever satirical takes on country music, just that it’s not something I’d recommend to people without a heads up lmao

    I wrote almost all of my grad school work in Vim and Emacs/Evil, in a non-compsci field! It was fantastic for editing, and I used pandoc to automate proper formatting, citations, and bibliographies for my papers and thesis. 10/10 would recommend to someone who is tech savvy or has a tangential interest in programming.


  • This album doesn’t have 12 songs, but legend has it that the “12” refers to the session musicians recruited from Nashville to provide the excellent music.

    However Ween being Ween, this album is likely to be very offensive, lyrically-speaking, to a lot of folks’ sensibilities in 2023 — just a heads up for folks not listening on headphones!




  • Going to vote out our welfare-thieving, shitbird governor. I don’t necessarily like the dem option, but he’s better than what we’ve got.

    I’m excited to vote for the lady running against our flappy-headed, overgrown fratboy of a state house rep.

    It’ll be a miracle if either of these races shake out the way I hope they do, but the odds are better than usual!



  • That’s a really cool solution with the Bluetooth receiver! I fortunately don’t have to play music from my own device too often — I was just shaking my fist at the clouds lol

    Agreed about proprietary nonsense, for sure. I know I could have it much worse, since I’ve at least got a good ol’, normal USB-C port, and, as you mentioned, we aren’t living in the bad old days before at least some standardization came along.


  • I’m a live sound engineer, and whenever I need to play music from my phone over the PA, I now have to dig out yet another goddamn adapter to do so. A tour manager or road engineer with an apple device wants to play tunes over the house PA? Hope they have their own adapter, because my “universal” USB-C adapter won’t cut it.
