When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it were, and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him. For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth - Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus (1493 - 1541)

Some more - not as well known as Bridge of Sighs but still amazing. I can’t beleive I hadn’t heard of this guy before sometime in the last year…I have a lot of stuff to catch up on. Pretty sure I got this record from a dollar bin, and it’s in great shape. A good vacuum cleaning helped for sure.

If you got upset at me for pointing out that more people died of Covid under Biden than Trump, in large part because Biden rolled back common sense restrictions that were in place under Trump...

Then you'll hate me pointing out that Trump introduced a 25% tariff on Chinese EVs, and Biden is upping that to 100% tariff.

@mekkaokereke

This is part of the tragedy of the endless campaign that we have now in the US. Criticism of the current president isn’t an endorsement of the opposition in a campaign for an election. It is criticism of the current president - a reaction to policy. The campaign shouldn’t even come up at this point in the year.

The US media’s obsession with covering government like a sport rather than informing citizens about policies and their consequences has paralyzed the political discourse.

Alexander Spence - "Oar" (1969)

I found this Sundazed 2000 reissue (still sealed!) at the local record store yesterday. I don't think I've ever heard all of this album before.

I chuckle at the Fragile and Not Fragile. Read recently that BTO deliberately named their album in response to Yes.

@tomhamby @vinylrecords

So what’s yours look like?

icastico OP ,
@icastico@c.im avatar

@tomhamby @vinylrecords

My list is only a best guess as I started buying records in around 3rd grade (1973 or so). There may have been a Cowsills record in there somewhere...

icastico OP ,
@icastico@c.im avatar

@tomhamby @vinylrecords

I have heard of both of those bands. The Cowsills still perform and put out an album this year it seems. Original members.

I got the Cowsills as a gift and was not a fan. Traded it right away.

Bardo Pond - Volume 9 @vinylrecords

Fucking Amazon sent me the wrong record (I never order from them, but they were the only place I found what I was looking for). It’s hard to be mad at the result - however- as this is stellar.

@petergleick

So far at UW campus here in Seattle, the stance of the administration is to inform students and faculty that a protest is happening and to plan logistics around it. We'll see what happens.
