| 11.9.22 19:39 |  | I know I've started to think / about leaving tonight / although nothing seems right (First Avenue & 7th St Entry) |
| 11.9.22 17:00 | |  | My 2022 brain: Hey remember that column about the Braves you read in the paper 32 years ago? That sure was funny. "Dale Murphy is always on deck." Ahahahahaha. Wonder if they ever put that one on the ol' Internet.
(Shared from TBS: Is It Short for Those Braves Stink?)
My cable company makes me nuts.

 | Doing a little radio - no, wait.
Doing MAXIMUM RADIO starting at the top of the hour!
KFAI Weekend on Demand
KFAI•org & 90.3 |
| 8.9.22 13:17 | | Happy Birthday to my dear old, old, old, old, OLD dad! (I haven't called him yet.) |
| 6.9.22 19:09 | | Showcase! (Sociable Cider Works) |
| 6.9.22 17:24 | |  | Summer's over, baby - if you needed any other proof, here now is this year's VOO DEW. Kinda colourless but not transparent, the "white" helps suggest a Fresca-esque citrus which isn't as tart and grapefruit-y as Fresca proper AND there's something else in there that's more in my nose than on my tongue - it smells like some of the better Slurpee flavours I've had but I can't pin it down to any particular hint of fruit. Definitely tasty and I'll get through all 12 cans without a pause. Later I'll use the Internet to tell me what it REALLY is. This is available in full sugar and zero sugar and I'll probably pick up a 20oz bottle at the Speedway/Holiday next chance I get to see if it's too much - I suspect it might be, but I still want ONE. For science. |
|
| 6.9.22 13:52 | | Quick reminder that I have no child attending their first day of school today so later I'm posting a photo of a can of Mtn Dew instead |
| 5.9.22 22:35 |
 |  | Somehow I beat out last Wednesday, but fell about a thousand steps short of Opening Day. Gonna stop walking for a few days, I think |
|
| 5.9.22 21:08 |
|  | And that'll about do it from the State Fair. Until 353 days from now, for the person behind me really trying to photo bomb my very last shot, I'm CRZ |
|
| 5.9.22 21:07 |
|  | I did end up waiting 25 minutes for a slice of pickle pizza and yes it was mostly awesome (the crust was bunched up and a little undercooked at the thick end, but the toppings were delicious!). This end of the grounds not only had no network, but really sucked all the percents out of my battery while it was busy not finding the network, so it's a bit of a latergram on this one. |

| 5.9.22 14:50 |
|  | Their siren song called to me - from Rio, it is B2wins |
(Leinie Lodge Bandshell) |
| 5.9.22 12:55 |
|  | This is as close as I'm getting to the Hmong sausage today, I'm afraid. I think I understand why people would wait in line for two hours...but I'M not! |
(Minnesota State Fair) |
| 5.9.22 12:00 |
| Last time, solo run, text me if you wanna! (Minnesota State Fair) |
| 5.9.22 11:29 | |  | Anybody need one of these? |
|
| 5.9.22 10:56 | |  | Changed my cover photo |
|
| 4.9.22 00:14 |
 |  | Technically, it won't be released until Friday the 9th but I guess the vinyl gods were pleased because it was in my PO Box this morning SO I am now playing this VERY sexy double gold vinyl compilation of Charles Stepney's home recordings called "Step on Step" which I encourage you to either buy a copy of your own from Intl Anthem's Bandcamp site and/or stream it Friday when it appears on your favourite streaming platform. |
|
| 3.9.22 16:23 |
|  | Music and ME on your radio at the top of the hour! 90.3 locally, kfai dot org globally. No live video this week so hop onto the Discord server to find me instead. Here's a photo of Seed Art Jeff Goldblum for engagement. (I'm PRETTY sure that's Jeff Goldblum.) |
|
| 2.9.22 21:04 | | Hey DJ (Protagonist Kitchen & Bar) |
| 2.9.22 14:28 | |  | I think it was Adam Black who first hepped me to the Coke x Marshmello collab resulting in this "watermelon/strawberry" Coke - they don't say "a great soda for when you're Alone" but they totally should have! First of all, two bucks for a 12 oz can of Coke is NUTS. They can't have paid Marshmello THAT much, could they? Strawberry was always the Freestyle flavour I regretted while I was trying them all, but I'm happy to say that putting watermelon ahead of it helps a lot. It still SMELLS strawberry...y, but the taste is much more muted. It's better than the other Cokes I've tried this summer and is also the lovely brown you expect from a cola and not the weird pink/red/brown the Starlight and Dreamworld have been. I should note I've only tried the sugar version but I'm sure I'll get to that Zero Sugar can some time during the three day weekend. Other friends have told me it's not as good as the sugar one but I'm usually pretty forgiving of Zero Sugar ones since!
they're usually my go-to. |

| 1.9.22 21:18 | 
| Oh good, Meta changed the desktop version of Messenger dot com and GO FIGURE it is not an improvement |
| 31.8.22 23:32 | |  | Not bad. I think I have a blister |
|
| 31.8.22 11:49 |
| LET'S GO wait yes I'm already here here I go (Minnesota State Fair) |
| 29.8.22 23:59 | |  | Sydney maaaaaay have had a point about goth swaying |
|
| 29.8.22 19:46 | | You know what they say: Monday is the gothiest night of the week (The Hook and Ladder Theater & Lounge) |
| 29.8.22 16:22 | | Okay, so my toilet situation - (checks to make sure you're still reading) - on Sunday I found a pond in the bathroom. Originally I thought the crazy rain found some way to leak in but eventually I learned that there was a tank leak around some screws and their surrounding....um....gaskets, maybe? Foamy things that were supposed to keep water from dripping onto the floor and then all over the place. Years of me ignoring the directive to not put bleachy Clorox tablets in there finally did me in and the screws have been halved - the screw head are currently in my sink but might as well be in the trash - I'm sure there's a way to extract what's left behind of the screws with other tools....but maybe they're all so rusted as to be immovable forever. I guess I'm wondering if I call a professional, surely they could fix this and not just say "ya know you could just replace the entire toilet for the same amount of money" or would they? Or is this something I could ... y!
'know, spackle or caulk or am I dreaming? In the mean time, the water's shut off and a lot of sponge time has taken care of the remaining water in the tank which is no longer being diverted onto the floor. Oh, and it pains me to report that a giant stack of Kim's National Enquirers I didn't throw away 8 years ago have been lost. You probably wanted those, sorry about that. I still have a working commode so getting this one sorted isn't URGENT but it's probably something I should spend part of my property tax refund on (funny about that timing, ah ha ha ha ha HA HA HA HA) |
| 27.8.22 16:58 |
| On the radio by the time you read this (or days ago, if Zuckerberg's feeling mean, but there'll be an archived version below!)
90•3 and/or kfai•org
Took a selfie but hated it so no engagement for anybody, hooray
I WILL play the Britney Spears/Elton John collaboration tho |
| 27.8.22 02:05 | | DJing brunch was a blast but I don't think I'll ever wake up that early on a Saturday ever again. (Note: I'm a liar; will somehow awaken at 9am later in preparation for hours of Pokémon GO FEST related activity) |
| 26.8.22 20:00 | |  | From Rochester (NY), it is Joywave (@joywave / joywavemusic.com) |
(The Fillmore Minneapolis) |
| 26.8.22 19:43 | |  | From Rochester, it's Tori and her concert partner Amber! Before they attempted their upgrade to the front row, we captured a moment while none of us were in jail |
(The Fillmore Minneapolis) |
| 25.8.22 23:49 |
 |  | THIS, ladies and gentlemen - and all those to whom neither term applies - this is why I eat and drink whatever the heck I want when I'm on the Minnesota State Fair exercise plan. |
|
| 25.8.22 22:24 |
|  | Got the band back together one last(?) time |
(Eco Experience, Minnesota State Fair) |
| 25.8.22 22:22 |
|  | 1. This year's durag from the Eco Experience is PURPLE
2. Behold! How Jesse Ventura might have looked if he still had hair under his durag |
(Minnesota State Fair) |
| 25.8.22 12:53 |
| HOORAY I'M BACK BABY... first visit since 2019! So they still have....food??? (Minnesota State Fair) |
| 25.8.22 02:26 |
| Sooooooo I haven't been to the State Fair since September 2, 2019. Later today... I'm eating three years' worth of food, I guess. Hit me up if you're going too and want to say hey! |
| 23.8.22 18:36 | |  | Well hello, kryptonite |
(Cub) |
| 23.8.22 15:12 | |  | Several friends had beaten me to this and I don't think any of them were overall positive, so I decided to skip the sugar version of "Dreamworld" and just get the one bottle. It smells like you could clean toilets with it (and I'm sure ALL Cokes are good for that, really). The non-Coke tastes kinda remind me of Ruby Red Squirt but...like, the BAD parts of Ruby Red Squirt. It's the same reddish colour the Starlight one was. It's actually more okay than I thought it would be from reading the other reviews but this will be the only one I'm buying. I'm still baffled by whatever Coke is trying to pull this summer. |
|
| 23.8.22 00:56 | |  | After feeding my name to beta.dreamstudio.ai, this gentleman appeared |
|
| 22.8.22 17:00 | |  | Super spendy but hey! It's Madonna's box! How often does the chance come aorund? |
|
| 21.8.22 14:01 | |  | It's the weekend and time for snacking. After several of you shamed me for not picking up a tiny $2.29 bag of these at the Speedway, I did end up dropping four bucks on a "sale" full-size bag (note Frito-Lay's new $5.59 suggested retail price - inflation is real and it's bonkers) because you KNOW you need the most chips possible in the event that you don't like them. And....well.......I'm not wild about these. First of all, I think these are the most LADEN chips I've ever seen - look at these! Somehow all that spice doesn't rub off on your fingertips like it's a Cheeto but DANG this is some DARKNESS. The bag touts it's "tangy"ness but I'm not thrilled by it. You definitely get the citric acid hit (which sometimes is more evocative of lime than tamarind) and the spices are spicy but not in that "American" spicy Doritos way. Some people are gonna love these. I'm not one of them. I WILL finish them but it will take me a few days - so maybe that's a good thing t!
hat my fat ass isn't scarfing the entire bag in 15 minutes? |
|
| 21.8.22 05:07 | | For the tiny number of you who need to actually see it from me, yes, I did make it home alive and well and [redacted redacted hell yes redacted] |
| 20.8.22 22:18 | | Play house music! (Mortimers) |
| 20.8.22 14:36 |
| It's National Radio Day so I think I'm'a be on the radio for a couple hours. Try out YOUR radio by tuning it to 90.3 FM and if you don't hear radio, you might not be in the Twin Cities, in which case you'll have to click over to kfai.org/listen. Not RIGHT now - but soon....sooooooon.......
(5PM CDT/6PM EDT/3PM PDT/Midnight CEST) |
| 19.8.22 16:43 | | Facebook has really been sucking about holding on to your golden statuses for 3-5 days before showing them to me, so....sorry for the late response I couldn't bring myself to NOT tack onto the end of your conversation hours or even days after it naturally ended. As always, I blame Zuck. |
| 19.8.22 16:04 | | Any early bets on which track off the new Demi Lovato album will have the most heroic and hilarious "clean" edit? (There are less choices than I thought!) |
| 19.8.22 01:16 | |  | Fun fact: between sets, Peter Hook checks social media for photos of himself to Like |
|
| 18.8.22 16:42 | |  | Stolen from Scott - only one more year to go for that big 5-0 golden anniversary!! |
|
| 16.8.22 17:48 | |  | Hooray another Coil vinyl reissue/fun toy |
|
| 16.8.22 00:16 | |  | These bad boys barely tasted like Funyuns! Would not recommend. |
|
| 14.8.22 21:24 | | Hey DJ (Dusty's Bar - NE MPLS) |
| 12.8.22 23:32 | | Sorry I'm late...I walked! Also, only guy in a tie-dye (so far) (Palmer's Bar) |
