Sounds ripped from cassettes & CDs found in immigrant-run mom & pop stores. Deconstructed icons. Field recordings. Sonic mayhem from the far corners of the internet.

August 27, 2014: The Perfect Pop Song?
DID YOU KNOW? Scientists have created what they’re calling the “perfect pop song” by using “natural selection.”
But in a perfect world, the perfect pop song could be anything -- from Disco Dandia and Polish guitar shredding to Atlanta DIY and Italian avant-garde. In fact, every perfect pop song would share but one important thing in common with all other examples: They would each be precisely -- not a second more or less than -- three minutes long.
So pop! Such perfect!

Breakfast this am = dandelion greens, mache, & arugula (sounds healthy so far, right?) plus some crumbled crispy pork belly [aka uncured/unsmoked bacon, aka chicharrones] & an egg, finished with the egg-frying butter deglazed with a big glug of sherry. Yes I went there, and it was good :-)

(covering her ears) Most apt descripitions = flirtatious, coquette, vixen, avid hunter, and well, b*tchy. As well as wildly loving, possessive & affectionate. And, indeed, cute.
@hyde! Must share with you crazy good rosemary corncake recipe from a 198x issue of Food & Wine, it's not on line & I'm not at home to type in. A really, really, good recipe. @ngh you would like also, I think

@Hyde - How's the book? Truly is one of my top 10 albums, and I'm not a carpetbagger. All hail my friend Tyler for forcing me to listen back in '89.
@Gary again - that's another album I know by heart, but it hasn't stayed with me the same way Paul's Boutique has. That said, I need to dust it off & give it a listen. For a long time I just could NOT listen to "Divorce Song". Because my ex and I discovered the album at the same time.

....made my RKTs. didn't have a measuring cup, but everything worked out OK, THANK GOD.
lydia hiby told me my cat considers herself a princess.

Oddly, I don't think anyone's done any 1 of the Stooges 3 canonical albums yet, or any Iggy solo, which really might be more interesting. Zombie Birdhouse or New Values or Soldier.
But tonight I'm thinking Robyn H - either I Often Dream of Trains or Gotta let This Hen Out.
