Rest in Power Uncle Steve.

#RIP

This photo was a week ago, on Thanksgiving.

My Uncle Steve passed away this morning with Susan by his side after several years of miraculous recoveries from ailments large and small. Cancer being the main one.

4 times iirc.

We all just expected he'd live forever.

He was among the kindest and most generous people you could hope to meet. He treated my aunt and her extended family as if they were his own and from the moment we met him accepted him as one of us.

He was one of the funniest people you could ever hope to encounter.

May his memory be a blessing.


From front to back; my sister, her eldest, Uncle Steve and Aunt Susan. Susan is my mother's sister, the only surviving member of my mothers family.

"what if the ship of theseus was sentient" is not a question I was prepared to grapple with

The image is from a Thomas the Tank Engine picture book. A mechanic is putting a new smokestack on Thomas with a crane. Thomas looks up with an expression that can be read as surprise or wonder. Underneath the image is the following text: Thomas didn't enjoy his time at the Works. "It's nice to feel mended again," he said afterwards, "but they took so many of my old parts away and put new ones in, that I'm not sure whether I'm really me or another engine."

I lived in a place that had outlets on the ceiling once. People would almost get mad, when they visited, demanding to know why. I don't know, I'd say. I rent the place, I didn't wire it. Eventually I found out that someone used to run a sewing business there, and the outlets were above what had been a table for sewing machines.
vosechu pro 15 hours ago
They’re also handy if you want to have a light above the kitchen table, but don’t want to hardwire it permanently!
ardgedee pro 13 hours ago
@vosechu Yup. I used to have some outlet adapters that had lamp sockets on the end rather than more outlets. Handy for rental spaces with a wall outlet built into the ceiling fixture, or when you wanted your room to have a spooky lit-from-below vibe.

I had all their stuff on vinyl til I sold the vinyl. Before doing so, I ripped my favorites to digital, and forgot about the rest.

Including this silly gem.

It's fitting my mood and life goals today, and (along with the bangers like "Private Plane" and "Divide and Conquer") convincing me I need to get all those albums back into my library at full length.

"Flip Your Wig" was my first Hüsker Dü album. On vinyl. For some reason I've since re-bought most of their catalog on CD but not "Flip Your Wig". Should rectify that.

The Grant Hart tracks here really stand out, the band hadn't quite become "Bob Mould's Hüsker Dü" yet.
MackReed pro 8 hours ago
@ardgedee I bought into the whole catalogue at Zen Arcade after reading about it in the Village Voice, and they went on to became the soundtrack for my angst-ridden 20s - non-stop on the car stereo at top volume.
ardgedee pro 7 hours ago
@MackReed Weirdly enough "Zen Arcade" is their only album that I bounced off of. I don't hate it, I just wasn't able to get into it. Even "Land Speed Record" gets more plays.

I love this song so much. It feels like the perfect, absurdist response to every dumb, boring, conservative question.

And it's also a perfect intro to other songs, plus I feel like I could say much more but my brain is fuddled.

WINTER 2026

An oil pastel and digital painting, mostly deep blues and black, with splattery splots of white, kind of evokes a snow storm.
Here we are, staring down the barrel of another year. These things they move so fast these days. It’s (meteorological) winter, once again / at last, and I have a new winter playlist for you. Links in the first reply, a few details on it here.

Ada and I made the cover art, taking an oil pastel piece she painted as the starting point in a now-digital drawing. Sure it took nearly 40 variations to get it right, but that’s the fun of it. Love having a collaborator on this part of the project.

This year’s collection skews instrumental, with some ambient and some less classifiable, a few vocals here and there, mostly I look for sounds that feel distinct / right, and there are really just a ton of sounds put together here.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that most of the 130-some artists behind the 135 tracks will be new to you, and I encourage you to look up the ones you like and support them. Today’s Bandcamp Friday, it’s a great day to buy an album (link to the Bandcamp artists below).

Artists I’m excited about on this playlist include Lucrecia Dalt (Colombia / U.S.), Ann Annie (U.S. / Portland Oregon), and Young Man in a Hurry (U.S. / Chicago).

Twenty-five countries and six continents are represented, including Porya Hatami from Iran, and an ambient act I’ve been enjoying for a few years now, Almanacs out of Honduras. The U.S. and U.K. account for most of the artists, followed by Germany (10), Canada (10), the Netherlands (5) and four artists from Japan.
