Best wishes, Steve.

Love that album. Always have. Whole album is great but favorites are In Old England Town, From The Sun To The World, and especially Kuiama.

I thought I owned Blood Simple, but I checked and it appears I do not. Have to remedy that. I do own The Man Who Fell To Earth, but I did not know there was more than one version of it. Mine...

I liked The Commitments. I bought the DVD and the soundtrack album. Had no idea it had become hard to find.

The movie I have been wanting to see, haven't seen but recommended to me, is Repo Man...

Antonis Tourkogiorgis, bassist and singer of Socrates Drank The Conium, died yesterday 5 May 2024. Rest in peace.

Happy Birthday Rick and Renate. 65 isn't any worse than 64 or 66. Hang in there. I recently turned 69.

So glad I got to see Richard, Jeff and the rest of the electric light orchestra in concert twice back in the day, late 1974 and early 1976. Man, they were good. I feel younger just thinking about...

Try not to read tenor or tone into my posts, as on this medium I am limited to printed words, and cannot control how those words are taken by others. I wasn't trying to imply anything. Just...

Tonight on the GRIT (western movie) channel, they are showing The Secret of Convict Lake (1951). Unfortunately, the movie features a made-up story rather than the true story of the events that gave...

The winners of Academy Awards are the opinion of the Academy, and not necessarily of the people. It's fine that actors, directors, producers, and cinematographers can slap themselves on the back...

The World Beer Cup was held recently. Some of the award winners include:

Lahontan Brown, Shoe Tree Brewing Co., Carson City, NV. Silver medal, American Brown Ale

Totality, Fifty Fifty Brewing...

Oppenheimer (2023) - Biography. Fantastic film. I knew a small part of the story, but certainly not all of it. Well done.

Anyone But You (2023) - romantic comedy about an arguing couple thrown...

Rest in peace.

Argent - Don Kirshner's Rock Concert 1973

Rest in peace, Mike.

I had never heard that band before^. They're great. Thanks for posting.

Recent Sierra drafts:

Lake Of The Sky-hoppy west coast DIPA flavored with spruce. Fantastic. Maybe my new favorite beer, nicknamed "Piney The Elder." A "forest beer" from The Good Wolf brewery,...

I like this band. Can't recall how I first heard of them, but when I saw their name come up on Austin City Limits, I was ready to watch. Hadn't seen the NPR video. Thanks for posting it.

Rest in peace, Dickey. I'm glad I got to see the Allman Brothers Band in 1975. I was too young to see them when Duane was alive. I almost got to see them again in the mid-'90s, and I don't...

^ Those are good choices. People seem to either love or hate Somewhere In Afrika. I always liked it.

Manfred Mann also played Moog on this:

The Holdovers (2023) - good movie, as I believe has been mentioned above.

They've done such a good job of making sure people without cable TV can't watch these games, that I didn't know their nickname or mascot. Thanks for the info. I'll go back to my cave now.

Every time someone says "UConn," I hear "Yukon." As though the Great White North has a team in the NCAA basketball tournament.

I've never been anywhere that people sang along with "Sweet Caroline." I didn't even know it was a thing. Is it regional? Or am I just lucky in the places I choose to go?

Does anyone know who won the "March Madness" tournament? They don't do sports on the TV news anymore, and broadcast TV had no coverage after the first few games. I tried googling it but the only...

I remember seeing the original and considered it not bad. Nothing deserving of a remake, though. Nothing against the late Patrick Swayze, or against the fine actor Jake Gyllenhaal. There has to be...

Watched River Of No Return (1954) last night. My library had a dvd of the restored western movie, so the technicolor picture and sound were just great. If I ever saw it when I was young, I don't...

The Hunger Games-The Ballad of Bullshit and Snow. We watched this last night. Both of us fell asleep. Did we need this prequel? The Hunger Games, 60 years before the Hunger Games. It's not...

Last night we watched The Creator (2023), a futuristic sci-fi movie about a war between the Americans (of course), supposedly fighting for humankind, and Artificial Intelligence robots and cyborgs...

I can't remember if I've seen that or not, but I love a good Hackman flick. Maybe it's time to watch it. I would like to recommend a top-notch surveillance film, The Lives Of Others (2006),...

20 Days In Mariupol - Mentioned above. About Putin's attack and invasion of the sovereign nation of Ukraine. I already wasn't a fan of Putin, but now I am particularly disgusted by the Congressmen...

Rest in peace, Jimmy.

Watched a fun Eli Roth slasher movie: Thanksgiving (2023).

Joe (2013)

I've seen all three and now own The Host and Joe on dvd. Winter's Bone I confused in my mind with another movie I can't recall the name of, but I looked it up and remember seeing Winter's Bone. All...

Today would have been Paul's 83rd birthday.

I thought it was amusing and I hadn't seen the meme before. Most of the really long concerts I have been to were by the Grateful Dead. Three hours seemed to be the minimum they would play. I've...

I like what I have heard of them, but I only have two of their albums. Looking forward to hearing more.

Last night we watched Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One (2023). Night before we watched John Wick Chapter 4 (2023). A combined 6 hours of adrenaline rush. Guess we should find something...

Just started Exordia by Seth Dickinson. A Science Fiction novel in which the earthling protagonist meets an alien on Earth. The first chapter is the only one I read so far, and it is well written...

Oscar best picture nominees:

American Fiction-did not hear anything about this before the awards show
Anatomy of a Fall-did not hear anything about this before the awards show
Barbie-saw it...

"Supertamp" just made me think of Maestro Cooder.

Not Forever But For Now - Chuck Palahniuk

Isn't a metal pole the same as a lightning rod?

Drunk Parents (2019) - a comedy critics didn't like, but the wife and I got a lot of laughs. Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek. Viewed on Tubi.

White Lotus Season 2 - enjoyable show. Viewed on dvd.

Thanks. I always wished an unbiased news platform existed. Now I know that it does.

Some articles do not open with any information that relates in any way to the headline. Do they not have editors any more?

I've seen that before. I quit reading any article that includes quotes from social media. It's not only irrelevant, it's annoying. I eventually quit reading the website that has such articles.
...

You got that right. A typical half-hour television local news program has 15 minutes of commercials, 13 minutes of nearly information-free weather, and 2 minutes of human interest stories passed off...

'Tis true.

The weather.

The Flash - I had given up on Marvel and DC comic superhero movies, but I read that this one was good, so we gave it a try. Decent entertainment this time.
