| 19.9.19 15:06 |  | Hey hi I wanna tell you about this awesome show I'm going to tomorrow. I am REALLY excited about it! I saw Kælan Mikla back at the Fine Line in May as part of an Icelandic outreach something or other. They played first and were best; I loved the bass and the synths and I had no idea what was being screamed to me in a language I didn't know but I totally believed, became an instant fan and even though I was at my brokest, I still ended up on Bandcamp collecting all three of their gorgeously coloured vinyl LPs. I also took the opportunity to play "Kalt" on KFAI the first chance I got. The whole time I was experiencing them in concert, I thought "this is SO Dark Energy" and clearly I mustn't have been the only one because a short few months later this show was announced and I couldn't have been happier. At least, that's what I thought! As the lineup evolved, my joy and anticipation were put into overdrive when I learned that more than one act I loved were gonna be part of this show. Dudes, not only do I want you to go to this show to see Kælin Mikla, I NEED you there EARLY to see the openers. Observant are a new collective but have quickly become one of my very favourite local live artists and I suspect when you see them, you might think that as well. I'm thrilled to get to see them again! (They're also at Palmer's on Saturday as part of the Apocalypse Theater fest, but that's another time and place and I am sure I will miss it....but I digress.) Plus, always-on DJs Grant Mayland and DIE/ASPORA will keep you swaying and I wish I had something cool to say about Hardhat p.i. but I haven't seen them live yet BUT I know they are also perfect for this bill so ask me after I see them Friday. YOU SHOULD BE AT THIS SHOW WITH ME. I'll be the guy with the hair who walked all the way to Part Wolf. |

 | I should not be 1. this sweaty 2. this late at night 3. this late in the year 4. by myself |
| 16.9.19 14:19 | |  | Welllllllllll it was under three grand but not by much. Also I reckon it'll be another few bills on top of that to make all these new holes disappear...BUT he didn't have to come back tomorrow and it wasn't six grand (that's the best way to deliver bad news, by the way.... VASTLY amplify the "worst case" - good thing it was already vented but just hidden where he couldn't see it a couple Thursdays ago!) and I have new plugs for the sink AND the tub hooray |
|
| 13.9.19 23:00 | | Still several golden tickets available! |
| 12.9.19 22:04 | | Rotation is EXTREMELY tight |
| 12.9.19 14:19 | |  | As I was returning an S.O.S. Band album back to its sleeve, I happened to notice there were a few stowaways inside the jacket - two Cove Cabaret Discotronics bulletins from September, 1980 AND a MAD Magazine flexi full of disco parodies which I will probably try to find digital copies online rather than try to play. Looks like Cove Cabaret still operates in Superior, WI although probably with a whole lot less Discotronics |

 | Hey look it's my first copy of "Some Great Reward" |
| 8.9.19 15:06 | | Happy Birthday to the guy who'll always put on his best face for a selfie! I love you, Dad! |
| 6.9.19 21:40 | | Pre-preunion at Ceres' hottest* microbrewery
*by which we mean only |
| 6.9.19 01:43 | | Look if they didn't want me to eat it, they wouldn't have placed it so close to the airport |
| 5.9.19 19:10 | | OH NO I DIDN'T PACK PANTS okay whew |
| 5.9.19 16:34 | | #tbt Here's page 144 of the yearbook and my senior photo. Thanks to Donny for forever making sure I was only second to last. I head back to Modesto tonight through Monday where I am told several other folks in my class may be around and there's a good chance I will interact with them. I expect more photos than in 2009 as I have a better camera and even a decade older *maaaaaybe* I look slightly better than I did then. Not as great as the guy in this senior photo, though! Hubba hubba! |
| 5.9.19 12:35 | | One of the joys of "owning" a 109 year old house are the constantly ticking time bombs occasionally going off and requiring massive amounts of cash to recover from. A week from Monday, we'll tear up some walls and ceilings to completely replace some pipes to the tune of $Idon'thaveit thanks to the shocking discovery that my bathroom's plumbing - well, the parts we didn't already replace umpty-ump years ago the LAST time we tore up the walls and ceilings - is either crumbling and/or lead. Nothing makes your day quite like your plumber asking "hey, have you ever thought about remodeling? Now'd be the perfect time!" So yeah maybe a good time to get on a plane for the weekend and not think about how much stuff costs for a couple days... |
| 4.9.19 23:10 | | Hey I have kind of a silly question...would any of you be so good as to drive me from my house to MSP around 6PM on Thursday? My driver-for-hire of choice is out of the country. |

 | Guys ONE YEAR AGO TODAY I did my first live on air fill-in for KFAI filling in on The Pop Shop! It was the 50th anniversary of the first Apple Records releases so I played all eight sides. I also commemorated the 25th anniversary of "The Late Show with David Letterman" with THEIR first musical guest that night - yes, I snuck Billy Joel onto KFAI the first chance I got. In the past year, I've done, like, 60 hours of live radio - plus 33 or 34 episodes of Dollar Bin. Anyway, here's the stream from one year ago - don't tell anybody I'm still sharing it with you (but if you want more of my "air checks," lemme know on the down low) |
| 30.8.19 13:59 |
| It's probably dangerous to admit this publicly, but....I liked the new Tool album way more than the new Lana Del Rey album |
| 29.8.19 23:58 | | Ski-U-Mah |
| 29.8.19 18:11 | | Hey hi this is a fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun night and you may even see me attempt to dance (followed by attempting to eat food from the nearby Denny's After Dark) |
| 28.8.19 12:38 | | ...........yeah, nobody's called yet.
When will they call?
What if they don't call? |
| 27.8.19 21:11 | | Let me out |

| 26.8.19 01:09 | |  | Still figuring it out...test selfies from the usual location. The forward facing "flash" AND the mostly useless S Pen (or is it a "Pen-S?" Ah ha ha) may be game changers, but clearly I need to shave and lose five pounds in my face and/or do those filter tricks |

It's also the 15th anniversary of Frankie Knuckles Day. We're still here! Try to dance today.
