Been a busy holiday weekend. Didn't get a chance to read and respond to multiple posts on Saturday or Sunday.
So I'll riff off what I read yesterday, Monday.

Album of the week 8-30-25
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 08/30/2025 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
There's some interesting stuff here this week. Starting off, there's a 90's album from Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown followed by an album from Chicago blues guitarist Jimmy Rogers with Johnnie Johnson handling the keyboard duties. After that, we move on to blues rock with Little Feat and a compilation of studio artifacts and demos that cover their career from when Lowell George first left the Frank Zappa band to more recent years - it might mean more to a Little Feat fan than the general public, but it's still interesting stuff. After that we've got an album from a Canadian artist, Colin Linden, that never got his due in the U.S. market. It's a really pleasant album worth a listen. We finish up with an album from former Monkee, Mike Nesmith in his folkie/country period.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Saturday Open Thread 8/30/25: Odds and Ends
Submitted by on the cusp on Sat, 08/30/2025 - 7:00amGood morning, good people!
Well, it is pretty clear that I and JtC are experiencing life altering events. We think of it as a temporary setback. We will grow older, and crankier, and way more likely to stand our ground against TPTB. And effing cancer.
I am occasionally distracting myself from, ya know, hubby health issues, and decided to clip out invasive vines from two crepe myrtle trees, since the guy I offered $20 to do it had just received internet for 30 days, wanted to play games. I did it, saved money, got exercise, and got some drive by horn honks and thumbs up for being so bad ass. Yeah, I am just all that! LOL!
I appreciate all the good will JtC has received.
So, my client divorcing her bad, bad, cheating husband makes her living posting stuff on Only Fans.
Her divorce settlement is agreed, so I do not have to go to court with her wearing her video outfits.
