Heading into retirement in an old farmhouse in rural Ontario. I dabble in watercolours and printmaking for fun. Love gardening and all things natural. Collect books and music. Be nice. And make life interesting. πŸ’™πŸπŸŒ±

There’s no way the US government is as organized as a meth lab.

I listened to the CFNY Spotify playlist last weekend.
So much nostalgia.

And you have their album library? So envious.

I camped there for a week in the 80s. The wind whipped around my tent every night and made a hell of a noise. Not much sleep, but I remember it to this day. A magical place.

I call them croci as well. You rarely see them alone.

Last night. I listen on headphones at night when the rest of the house is asleep.

David Bowie. He'd have a lot to talk about.

Not my favourite, but still a solid album. Doesn’t have the post-punk urgency of their earlier work.

I like Radio Song and Texarkana. Shiny Happy People gets skipped.

You need a big airport and convention centre to support the casino that the β€œspa” at Ontario Place will become.

1979. It was a great year for post-punk and I was old enough to appreciate it and attend lots of concerts.

Ali Farka Toure got me interested in North African music. That led me to many other great bands and musicians from the region, like Tinariwen.

He mixed things up and made a very good album that was entirely appropriate to the times. You can almost hear the cocaine.
