Given the weird image outage, I’m going to take the rare action of reposting myself because everyone needs to see the purple traffic cones at Paisley Park

Glad we went to Paisley Park last year on our Minneapolis trip. Serious security (bagged phones, smart watches off) and limited photo ops but there was plenty to take in and absorb about the artist in effectively his home.

(Plus I love how they commit to the bit in the last photo 💜)

What was the final verdict?

Such a great movie, Murderers’ Row of character actors too.

Outside of Kamala Khan, which X-characters are from New Jersey?

(Very niche question, I know!)

Looking Glass - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) (Official Video) YouTube video by HQVideoClassics

And this is basically oldies sonic wallpaper but after hearing an interview with the lead singer and learning that they were from my alma mater, it really made me appreciate how well crafted this song and its dynamics and production were

BBC Two - Later... with Jools Holland, Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman (Later Archive 2008) Glen Campbell performs Wichita Lineman on Later... with Jools Holland in 2008

Two part answer—never really thought twice about Glen Campbell growing up in the ‘70s but seeing him on this Jools Holland show, possibly in the early stages of his Alzheimer’s, really blew my mind

(“Galveston” was the track I really wanted to post but it doesn’t seem to be available)

So much to unpack in this ad for dickeys including “dickey counter bar” and I shudder to think what the “jive talk” phrases “military objective” and “C.O.D” mean in this context

Lake Geneva WI, the so-called “Newport of the West” and birthplace of Dungeons & Dragons. If I ever go back (and the store is still there), I’ll have to screw up some courage and ask why they chose that system

I was in a record store that was organized like this, I had to leave because it utterly broke my brain

I think it got better as after the first iteration (All-New, Challenge) and I definitely lived for when other heroes guest-starred…but even then, I felt it was kinda hokey (Wendy, Marvin, & Wonder Dog?) and definitely suffered from some of the restrictions on kids’ cartoons back then.

Superman is having a crafty fag in a junkyard. He looks concerned.

Happy #SupermanDay!

Also hit Siegel & Shuster’s boyhood homes (or in Shuster’s case, the location) #SupermanDay

I don’t really follow sports these days so I’d probably get crushed if I tried Sports Connection 😂

I fell for that too 🍭 Fortunately, it was pretty easy after that.

And the accompanying worrying about water in your basement

It’s got to be in the Top 10 of songs with the biggest disconnect between music and lyrics. Seriously, how many years did that sail over our heads?

Strangely enough, the second Albert Hammond reference of the day! Watching the weather (you know why), it came up how being a meteorologist in SD might be relatively boring, his hit song came up, and I had to play it for Kath after recently discovering how absolutely fucking bleak it is

“rubber to prevent accidents” and a picture of a kid?

okay

Sentimental favorite of mine—had this issue as a youngster, I believe my copy is rather disheveled these days lol. I liked the art then but appreciate it more now.

We were so desperate for even the tiniest morsel of our superhero favorites! I mean, even at my tender age, I knew Super Friends kinda sucked, but something was better than nothing.

Interurban Trail The Interurban Trail is a popular and well-used path in east central Wisconsin. It connects quaint and historic towns as it travels through scenic rural landscapes. The trail journeys 35 miles thro…

Up here in Wisconsin, at least a fair bit of it was converted to bike trails. But still.

That’s a blind spot for me, would love to see a DC Finest edition but that might a while in coming.

Former Central Jerseyan here—spent a lot of time and money there (well before your purchase though)

Did you find this during your listening project? Interesting second act from the band (although in hindsight, a British Invasion band doing power pop seems like a natural progression.)

The follow-up, LOVE’S MELODIES, is worth a listen if you haven’t already.

Good grief, hope your place is ok.

Good and productive day—lunch with a friend, put together a bookcase, reorganized my comics collections, and finished a silly months long listening project.

(yes, my definition of “productive” is fairly loose)

This auction item is crazy. Jerry Weintraub at one point managed both Bob Dylan and Neil Diamond, so he had a reversible satin jacket made that, depending which way you wore it, said "Dylan" or "Diamond" on the back.
