AB InBev took over the Pabst Brewing contract. Production of their boomer brews has been shifting to St. Louis for a while, with City Brewery in LaCrosse taking on Old Style and a few others. Now it appears ABI is culling the portfolio -- in addition to Stag kegs I've heard bad rumors about Schlitz.

He's still making art but it seems he hasn't done another album cover since that one, 40 years ago.
Saturday rabbit hole: see an odd word in the NYT Strands game. Isn't it the name of a 1980s metal band? Look at Discogs. Yes: they were a German thrash band. Click through to their first album. The signature on the cover: "J. Warhola." He's from Pittsburgh. Is he related to…? Yes: it's his nephew.

Intrigued. Around this time my next door neighbor won not a van, but a baby blue Styx pickup truck from a radio contest (WLS Chicago, the station that broke Styx). They moved to Ohio soon after and I don't know what became of it.
I did not know there were multiple Styx vehicles.
👀 There is an open seat on the board

for folks who are active on x, threads, etc and feel bad about it bc of its stewards but have a hard time letting go: sometimes your behaviors overpower your values online because tech companies hire psychologists & sociologists to come up with ways to put you in that position
And Badfinger put out an album called Wish You Were Here the year before Pink Floyd did. I sense a pattern.

For 1987 I like "Sister" a lot, but perfect? Still thinking.
Opal's "Happy Nightmare Baby" and Fastbacks' "…And His Orchestra" are up there too.
This was an album I experienced at 18 (thanks to having a show on college radio) but I'm a few weeks too old to pick it

Photograph. A number of nonworking electric signs from defunct retailers mounted to gridwall panels in a basement. The largest sign on top reads "Thom McAn", it shows severe patina and does not fit on the panels - but is mounted as it was found in the abandoned Dixie Square Mall. The smaller sign below it is intact and reads "Carson Pirie Scott" with a red hexa-flower insignia to the far left. On the far left is the store directory letterboard from a JCPenney. More signs on the far right, out of frame. Shopping carts and other fixtures stashed behind the grid panels.

The Jerky Boys inspired at least one other album title. Are there more?
