Here's the playlist and archive for yesterday's installment of "It's Complicated," about which one listener said, "Fun show!" (The real-time listener comments are attached to the playlist.) Includes the Moody Blues, Et Cetera, Ruins, and much more. wfmu.org/playlists/show… @WFMU
Finally got around to ripping this album, "Turkey" by Wild Turkey, the post-Tull band led by Glenn Cornick, so I can always have it with me. Legit great record, with good-time RnR, Stones-y country-blues, and near-prog. Love singer Gary Pickford-Hopkins's throaty RnR voice.
It's too bad that the marginally more humane UK is always looking to be more like the US rather than the other way around.

I prefer cocktails to beer because I don't like the taste of beer. And how can you resist when you have watercolor paintings like this on the menu?
Politics aside, Khymani James is dumb as dirt, as is clear from watching that video. With so many well-read, articulate, clear-thinking people at Columbia, was this dope really chosen as a "leader"?
I needed to dig up a document I created twenty years ago, and it was in Quark, the big layout program of the day. Naturally the file is unreadable today, but I miraculously also saved a copy as a .txt (plain text) file, and that's clear as a bell. 🥳 Plain text rules.
Interesting fact here. Trump's "What if Pecker gets hit by a bus?" has been widely portrayed as mob-speak for "Let's get him hit by a bus," when just the opposite was the case. Trump was worried about what would become of these secret files if something happened to his protector.
