The Swamp

Apologies if it's been posted before, and it's more poesy/spoken wurd than lyrics. Now then.... (I'll just add that hearing Mr. Clarke recite is bluddddddy hilarious) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu4fiRFhC-4 Like a nightclub in the morning, you're the bitter end Like a recently disinfected shitho...

Wallflowers (as openers, not by intent) just fucking stood there. That one stands out. My friends and I walked out on The Cars during their first tour for the very same reason. Years later, I read an interview where Ocasek said he'd been very influenced by Warhol in regard to band performances. My ...

The great Wayne Kramer of the MC5

Thanks for the kind words, fellas, and the help. I'll just add that he's an incredibly sweet boy.

As an especially angry teenager back in the late-70s, the discovery of punk rock (and its offshoots) via the mighty, magnificent CFNY out of Brampton, Ontario was a god send (I spent pre-college years across the lake, in the northwestern-most town in NYS). Anyhow, without digressing too much, amongs...

Thanks! Is there a Swamp recommendation on best methods to share? I suppose I can try shrinking them down to fit the 256 kb file limit Set up a burner Twitter account. Post picture to burner Twitter account. Link post. Thank you, Steve! https://x.com/farmer_tan40755/status/1753515482601357697?s=20

Thanks!

Apologies for not posting this in a timely manner, but better late than never, right? Three years ago, right before Xmas, my wife asked if we should foster a pregnant dog that had just come into the shelter where I volunteered. We were told that the dog, named Mary, was expecting 5 puppies after hav...

Is the GOP strategy just to exhaust (people like) me into submission?



I don't want to ignore their hijinks, but every time I hear Habba/Musk/Bannon/etc speak, (to quote my man Lou) ~


I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years

Multiple team owners have private planes, and some teams do as well. I’m sure that they’ll be one to do her a solid and get her there. ..... and if not, you can be sure the Biden team will put her on Air Force One and land at the 50 yard line just as Travis does a Pfizer half-time commercial while ...

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I have to wonder what the GOP does if he loses in November. For the sake of clarity, let's assume the House and Senate remain red and blue, respectively. Do Mitch and Lindsey (and the billionaire donor class) gather their members and secretly decide ...

My third is approaching rapidly, a week after my 62nd birthday. It's astonishing how much the prep and the procedure have changed since my first go round. My second followed the first fairly closely, after a nasty encounter with diverticulitis that kept me in the hospital for almost two weeks. The s...

I just finished reading one of those NY Times features wherein the locals (Iowa voters, in this case), talk about the coming Iowa caucuses, Trump, and the other half-wits running. I realize that a lot of folks really don't consume much news, or worse, get theirs from FOX/OAN/etc. I know I shouldn't ...

I'll rewatch Clayton any day of the week because of him. Plus, ya know, Tilda.

I'm very late to the party, but thanks to Justin Hawkins, I'm digging the Knower/Louis Cole stuff. I'm Tight! Also, thanks to my F.i.L., I became a convert to Wagner after seeing the Ring Cycle in Seattle years ago (he sang in the opera chorus). Lately I've been falling asleep to various recordings ...

Sure seems like I'm reading a lot of "Oh, Hey! Nikki Haley isn't so bad and is catching up with Rhonda, and she's young, and she seems nice, so just maybe?"

A few come to mind that I think haven't been mentioned yet. Hail Satan? - The Satanic Temple strikes back (against theocratic dildos of every stripe)! Seed: The Untold Story - About the loss of 95% of our seed biodiversity. In the Court of the Crimson King - Starring Robert Fripp as Scrooge. Two oth...

Powell, Chesebro, perhaps as bait for bigger fish? Say, perhaps, Rudy?



Regardless, I can't imagine djt is going to have a relaxing weekend.

I'd link to it, but I confess I haven't a clue. Regardless, if it has not yet been mentioned, the Plain English podcast with Derek Thompson is always quite good. The most recent, with Peter Beinart, is both enlightening and heartbreaking.

Now that he has Trump's endorsement, what are the chances that Gym Jordan becomes the speaker? Prognosticating is a fool's game, but I have to think that Jordan, like Gaetz, is regarded as damaged goods by the rest of the g.o.p. But, naive that I am, I thought Reagan was toast in August of 1980. I ...

Please accept my deepest condolences, NLFC Funny thing about aging- I can say that I'm more comfortable in my own skin than I ever have been, and no longer at war with my foibles. Or, okay, rarely at war with myself. But I've become keenly aware that I'm now in line for an obit, and sooner than I re...

As John Lydon once said, "Good riddance to bad rubbish"

I'm seeing Yo La Tengo next week, then R. Plant & A. Krauss, followed by Black Midi in the next month or so. (Old news, but the last two bands I saw, Jon Spencer and Deerhoof, were both phenomenal) Welcome back, man. Thanks! Life has, unfortunately, been on the shittier side of things of late (...

I watched Reality this past weekend, and loved it. I was pretty unfamiliar with the story, and had never seen Sydney Sweeny before. She had me captivated from the opening scene. Highly recommended.

Thanks all! It's been a several years since I've seen The Doctor; he came to get his BMW out of my garage right before we moved. Unfortunately, the feral colony that we inherited in the backyard when buying the house in 2002 pretty much destroyed his bike. To be fair, I warned him that the cats were...

Apologies for being a long, long-time lurker w/out contributing. I felt I didn't have much to add, and my sports acumen is atrocious, to be honest. For many years, Dr HR (whom I met when he moved to SF with a high school friend of mine) regaled me with Swamp tales, and I eventually decided to dip my...
