I remember the foamy apple-smelling puke. I must've taken a good swig

Name a TV show you feel like no one remembers but you:

Murun Buchstansangur

Oh gosh, so he does!

"Hah, you caught me monologuing!"

Och I'm sorry.

They also have the decent RS breadboards for cheap. I'm kinda sad to see Elenco stuff there as surplus

Hey, while it's still Bandcamp Friday, let me put in a reco for Willi Carlisle. If you like your country queer mixed up with humour and wrenching sadness, Willi is there for you.

("Peculiar Missouri" and "Critterland" are both fantastic albums)
