If my shortlist goes unchanged over the next couple/few days then 3 of my top 4 albums of the year were gifted to me -- 1 by my wife and 2 by members of this forum! -- the other album has not (yet) been pressed on vinyl.

Damn.
I can't recall which year-end list caused this to wind up in my queue of albums to check out, but it's a pretty fun funky good time!
Not the tracking update anybody wants to see...
Dec. 10 6:29 pm Item arrived in Canada damaged. Sent for further processing.
Montreal, QC
3-7 business days 'til I find out for myself just what that means.
Aww, fuck!
Rest in Power Robbie Shakespeare.
I'm no geography major but routing a package from Tacoma to Vancouver Island via Oregon seems... creative.
Happy Thanksgiving all my neighbours to the south.
May your day be full of gratitude and food (and football, if that's your jam.)
The 4-year-old's chosen soundtrack for the drive back to Mom's this week was Gillian Welch's Time (The Revelator) and Slayer's Seasons in the Abyss. Makes me feel like I've done something right!
Just learned that Stó:lō poet, author and teacher Lee Maracle has passed at age 71.
She was a powerhouse and an absolute treasure. We are richer for the time, energy, wisdom and words she gave while here.
Rest in Power, Lee.
First year my parenting time with the 4-year-old has landed on Halloween, so my first time out trick-or-treating since around 1992 and I had such a blast. It was the newborn's first time out too, but they slept through it entirely!
Some magnificent decorations, costumes and characters. And so many families. I've become less and less a fan of people over the years, but this was really fun!
Often I'll go months, even years at times, without listening to this and then I'll have nights like tonight where I have to play it over and over again...
Oh, hello persistent mild dizziness. You've gotten annoying quick.
Woke up this morning to my phone having somehow used up 40% of its battery and my laptop having changed its timezone. After an intense couple of days and with a thoroughly over-occupied brainspace, I can't help but think maybe my devices have started openly mocking me.
The wife has (rightly) called me out on my cantankerousness this evening,
so I've decided to immerse myself in A JOYFUL NOISE.
"...because the light was on!"
There were no screams there was no time
The mountain called Monkey had spoken
There was only fire
And then nothing
One of my absolute favourites has fallen...
Rest In Power, Michael K. Williams :: November 22, 1966 – September 6, 2021
I reckon this might be the first time in my adult life that I've gotten a non-Christmas statutory holiday off work.
Happy Labour Day, y'all.
Who is more likely to drop their album next week:
- Kanye West?
