Life goes on, man! The July 2023 Challenge!

[Turbo]

I don't think I've heard of Gravlax before. Only Lox. Gonna have to search some out!

i can’t say if I had either - lox and smoked salmon are definitely more popular here - but I have to say the slight saltiness worked really well in the sandwich.

Day 11: “He’s a good man… and thorough.”

The Weeknd - Trilogy



I first heard of him through his features on Drake’s “Take Care” album. I went to hear his mixtape trilogy and since then, I’ve heard almost every song, feature & remix he’s dropped.

I haven’t heard any of his stuff from The Idol outside of the first two singles tho, I’m avoiding that shitshow with an 80-foot pole.

Sandwich update #3

Another day without the ability to spin records, but another sandwich to enjoy.

Arthur’s, Gravlax on black bread with caramelized onion cream cheese

Arthur’s opened a place downtown and instead of the usual breakfast fare, I went for lunch and had this pretty great gravlax sandwich. The fresh tomatoes really tied the sandwich together. Had a side of pickles and latkes. Pretty happy about this choice.

Pavement - Spit on A Stranger

I played this for last month’s challenge and am gonna spin it here. Malkmus lyrics are often clever and occasionally a bit nonsensical but when I was looking over the Wiki entry for “Harness Your Hopes” of which I thought was quite clever…

The song's second verse, "Show me a word that rhymes with pavement/And I won't kill your parents and roast them on a spit", is a joke description of the word "depravement", with Malkmus describing the line as "the kind of thing you write when you're feeling cocky and you think it's a b-side [sic]". This joke continues with the following lyrics "And-a don't you try to etch it, or permanently sketch it" ("engravement")/"Or you're gonna catch a bad, bad cold" ("ailment") all words that rhyme with “Pavement”.

pretty clever sis!

Bob's delivery on this line in Honest With Me always makes me laugh.

I’m going off into the woods, I’m huntin’ bare
