Andrea and I saw DhakaBrahka tonight in Portsmouth. They were amazing as usual.
Amazing.
Amazing.
They showed up at Worldfest in Grass Valley and strolled out onto the stage like they owned the world. Sat down and made a noise that turned to music

a young person takes a photo of the red-and-gold-painted console of a pipe organ in the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, AZ
"The massive red‑and‑gold console of the Chicago Stadium pipe organ now sits in MIM’s United States / Canada Gallery with six manuals and 800 stop tabs. ... Installed at Chicago Stadium in 1929, the organ was the first of its kind in a sports venue."
I absolutely heard this thing in action at the Barnum & Bailey Circus at Chicago Stadium when I was a kid.
"The instrument, which provided the soundtrack for many opening faceoffs and tips, was the largest built by the Maxcy‑Barton Organ Co. The behemoth cost $250,000 in 1929 dollars, nearly $5 million today."
The Musical Instrument Museum is fully worth the visit if you're ever in Phoenix.

More surreal Toronto street art signs at the link. "Warning! Frog", etc. The phone number apparently works but I haven't called it yet!

...Windsor is literally across the river from Detroit and might be the center of Canadian auto manufacture (it was at one time, dunno if it still is), so the location for the startup isn't that weird.
That design tho... It's like a 3D rendering of one of those gestural, cartoonish googie-style magazine illustrations from the period, rather than something designed and built by people with experience making cars.

It looks like a car that cows would drive in a Gary Larson cartoon.
@ardgedee yup, we made a lot of engines and transmissions in Windsor (aka South Detroit). Not sure how it's doing under fuckhead's trade war, but there are a lot of US-made cars that won't be built if Windsor shuts down

A cyclist on a gravel road at dawn with a misty river in the distance
I am visiting Minnesota for a week. Yesterday was the culmination of my year-long bicycle training and my brother and I rode The DAMn - the day across Minnesota gravel bike race. Starting on the South Dakota border at midnight, Aug 1st we had 24 hours to get across the Wisconsin border on a set course consisting of 80% gravel roads through river bottoms and expansive ag fields.
You got to Wowsville! At least in my estimation!
DAMn that's some serious riding, hope it all went smoothly and you're getting some good rest today. I've done many gravel rides, but the longest was just over half of the DAMn, and nothing at all recently. I'm out for a much shorter and easier ride around Mpls today.
It was awesome getting to explore a part of MN that I've not really spent much time in, @wjcstp. The Minnesota River valley is gorgeous and I had the pleasure of being down in there at misty sunrise. And your bicycling community eats sleeps and breathes "Minnesota Nice" really well. Didn't hurt they offer up a cold pint of Spotted Cow at the finish line too.

A friend called me a Morton Salt girl recently because I was wearing bright and shiny yellow rain boots. Being from Europe I had never heard of her and was disappointed to find out she wasn’t even wearing boots. But apparently the association between rain and yellow made the boots appear in my friend’s mind.
I, too, had imagined her wearing wellies.
@mare don't think I ever clocked what type of shoes she was wearing and have been seeing this since I was a kid

per my "adventures of pete & pete" rewatching over the weekend (see: https://mltshp.com/p/1RTSB)
of all the wondrous cameos dotting the series (iggy pop! juliana hatfield! marshall crenshaw! kate pierson!) i had completely blanked on the fact that michael stipe himself popped up in one of the (pre-series) specials - "what we did on our summer vacation", which aired in 1991
also, important addendum, i need that "captain scrummy" cap ASAP
