A picture of Sugar's Copper Blue on (for some ridiculous reason) ORANGE vinyl.
@nikkuneko recently posted about their recent colored vinyl record purchase: https://mltshp.com/p/1RUO6

and @jpoulos recently posted a mini-doc on Sugar's Copper Blue: https://mltshp.com/p/1RU9M

Which made me realize I didn't have that album on vinyl in my collection and I really should so ordered a copy.

And here it is.

In orange.

Rant time: If you're gonna make a colored vinyl release, PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO IT PEOPLE. Orange? WTF!? The album is named after TWO colors. COPPER. and BLUE. And the album artwork is colored in... (you guessed it!) BLUE and COPPER!

HINT HINT? Maybe, I dunno... GO WITH A BLUE OR COPPER COLORED RECORD?

GTFO with this orange.

Anyways, still a great album.

I will say, I am less enraged about this than my copy of "David Gray's White Ladder" which was released on a vinyl color that sure looks like gray...but which they named 'silver'.

They were SO close to getting it right on that one.

i always liked bob mould (my frame of context mostly being husker du) but i never gave any of his other stuff a very deep dive. need to go back for this band someday.

it's funny how often LPs are either "we carefully matched the wax to the album art / title / theme" or "this is what the plant had that wasn't black, deal with it". i'm sure i have plenty of both in my collection, but i can't think of any egregiously off-the-mark ones off the top of my head.

i, for one, love the off-the-wall random ones that i pull out for the first time and go "why is it pepto-bismol-vomit colored?".

@nikkuneko I once bought Vince Guaraldi's Charlie Brown xmas on "Festive Green and Red vinyl!"

Someone failed to remember what happens when you mixed green and red together.

It shows up in one of Gibson's Blue Ant trilogy, maybe Spook Country. (I just looked it up, and it's the first one, Pattern Recognition.) I initially thought it was invented for the purpose of the book.

I live in Kansas City, so one day I heard this joke that I will get some details wrong, but is very Mormon trivia related:

An important phone call came in to the LDS Church that was routed to the head office in Salt Lake City. The secretary goes into his office and says,
"Sir, I have good news and bad news."
"Give me the good news."
"I have a call for you from our Lord, Jesus Christ Himself."
"That's fantastic! What's the bad news?"
"It is a collect call from Missouri."

On the table, to the right of the dog, are a large white porcelain cup with a floral design, a broken piece of bread, and what is maybe a biscotti. The dog is slightly plump and has a smug expression.

front: (all caps, large) Do Not Talk To Me About "AI"
(all caps, small)You Make Me Long For The Sweet Embrace Of Death

back: By using AI, you have given a pass to

* the staggering climate and ecological impact
* The outright attack on labor by capital
* The systemic disregard of consent
* The basis in wholesale theft and plagiarism
* The assault on the very concept of objective truth
* The enrichment of the most cringe billionaire fascist motherfuckers the world has ever seen

There is no ethical use of AI

If you ignore all of that, you are trying to negotiate what level of harm to others you find acceptable for your personal, selfish benefit. You advance the agenda of these hollow-eyed joyless money-ghouls who resent art, creativity, and life itself.

Two four-color comic book panels. In the first, our youthful protagonist is arguing with a server at a drugstore counter or possibly ice cream shop. "Five bucks for this malted? Hey, Mac, quit your kidding!" "Wish I *were* kidding, Frank, but you wanted an egg in it and eggs are selling for $2 apiece—then there's the milk—" In the second, he's scratching his head outside a theater. "What's going on around here? Has everyone gone nuts?" The theater advertises tickets: $10 adults, $6 children.

a young 18 year old boy was killed in the basement of a house in France by an artillery shell. That boy was my Great Uncle George and I've only recently learnt his story. It's a sad one, but it has some lovely bits too.

That's him in France, likely near Villers Bretonneux.

He was known as the Baby of The Battalion, so once I read that little titbit I had to know why and learn his story. I've been researching him for the past month or so and I've written down some of it here if you're keen

In WW2, he was on Gen. MacArthur's staff, analyzing photos and making maps and training crews to do that sort of work. In the rear, with the gear! They were planning the terrible island invasions that younger men had to carry out.

i’ve been listening to the album digitally on repeat since it released on friday. the physical LPs i preordered finally made their way to my door. (this is the "neptune winds" color variant)

such a dense, dreamy, heavy-yet-joyful album that deserves seated, attentive listening right at the turntable. i’m delighted at the amazing lyric booklet that accompanied this version of the album (see photos 2-3) as well as a punchy, dense vinyl master that really pushes every detail into a tightly-woven soundscape.

and yeah, the “glittery” finish on the disc does make for a little bit of surface noise but thankfully not nearly as much as i thought! it thankfully is sparse enough that it drops away when the songs kick in
