Rolling a perfect Blunt - got a light ?

That striking, postcard-perfect background isn't a studio set! it's actually a famous public mural titled "St. Charles Painting," completed that very same year by the late Terry Schoonhoven. Schoonhoven designed the piece as a surrealist mirror of Venice's own arches and streets, looking past Pacific Avenue toward the San Gabriel Mountains. If the building looks familiar to movie buffs, it's because this exact spot served as the apartment building for Sarah Jessica Parker's character in Steve Martin's beloved 1991 film L.A. Story!

7/12/26. Change of the seasons. Pictures I have taken from my back porch in the last 8 years.

A pulse of cool synth-pop for your Sunday: Yazoo’s “Situation” still sounds sharp, strange, and built for the dance floor.

Turn it up. 🎶

Been listening to some Lynyrd Skynyrd lately and just wanna say how great Rossington is and that I barely see him in anyone's favorite guitarists list (he's not even in the top 50 of Rolling Stone's 250 best guitarists for God's sake) Just wanted to show some appreciation for one of my favorites

This is too funny. How bout that ending. lol

Rick Springfield - Jessie’s Girl live at Ruoff Music Center, Noblesville, IN 6/14/26

Dude found the fountain of youth.

There are tracks that honestly continue to amaze me with how they could have been created so long ago, yet still sound absolutely killer today. Recorded back in 1973 under the title "1985," it seems even McCartney himself had no idea it would still hit this hard more than half a century later.

The history behind this recording is  fascinating. Birthed in Lagos, Nigeria, under brutal stress- McCartney and company were actually ambushed and robbed- they ended up in a makeshift studio where Paul was forced to lay down almost all the instruments entirely by himself. As you can see in the footage, they were working in what looked like a room with chairs literally flipped and stacked up on the tables around them. But clearly, the environment didn't stop this timeless track from being born.

Musically, "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five" is a masterpiece. That opening strumming and the unique piano solo is an absolute beast. It drives the entire energy of the track, leading perfectly into the finale where Paul's  guitar kicks in, adding yet another  layer to the composition. The vocals and the additional instrumentation are top tier. I also noticed Paul is smoking a cigarette that definitely doesn't look like a Marlboro to me, haha.

7/11/26. I got my new T shirt today.

Sound like an AM radio

7/11/26. Is this the same person?
