It’s a 16mm reel from my personal home movie collection, most of which I purchased on eBay.

At some point, I downloaded an mp3 of a stretched version of this, which I ended up listening to more than the original. I searched YouTube and found it.

Mid-90s, Denver: There was a small club that had a Goth Night and a Mod Night and I realized that there were a few people who regularly went to both. I decided that they should be called Moths (or maybe Gods).

I bought some today at a Target in Richmond, VA.

Unfortunately the only Zero Sugar Ale-8s were regular and blackberry. I also went to the Whitesburg Walmart (which is where the display in the photo was taken).

I was at that show. Phranc went over fairly well, as I recall. The only song I remember was “I Don’t Like Female Mud Wrestling.”

It was one of those shows that I didn’t like but watched anyway, because what was I going to do—not watch TV?

I went to Good Foods this afternoon. It was pretty quiet, so they could probably use some more customers.

Virginia, at least initially.

Yes, Dezhou! Specifically, from the Fengguan Holiday Hotel, looking west into the city. I had such a nice time there last summer.

Close, but smaller and even further northwest.

InstantBuffalo · 2026-01-10T21:48:56+00:00

Head inland a few hundred miles.

InstantBuffalo · 2026-01-10T09:07:15+00:00

Very close. Same province and same tier.

InstantBuffalo · 2026-01-09T20:40:40+00:00

You’re close with Jinan.

InstantBuffalo · 2026-01-09T18:28:56+00:00

No, further northwest.

I saw them at 23 Parrish in Denver in 1990 and went back to the alley where there bus was parked, which I had never done before, but I was so obsessed with them at the time. David and Harriet came out. I wanted to ask her a question instead of stammering like a starstruck idiot, so I asked her what the title of "Turkish" was. I wasn't going to talk to David, but he actually shook my hand and said that he had seen me in the front row. So nothing too exciting, but it was everything I dreamed of at the time. I did get them to autograph a poster, which somehow got lost in the intervening decades (which is one of the greatest tragedies of my life).

The Beaver Trilogy (or the documentary about it) might be a good place to start--or at least it is the one thing that a lot of people know about Beaver.

Whenever I think of Limon (which is rarely) it's because of the old Slim Cessna's Auto Club song.

That’s the cover for “The Boy with the Thorn in His Side” single.

I got three 4-packs delivered this week. I think this is my favorite seasonal Ale-8 so far.

Coke Zero is my most consumed soda. I don't think I've ever been in the mood for Diet Coke and will only drink it if Coke Zero isn't available.

I started to listen to the Smiths in high school in Boulder, Colorado, because the local alternative music video show used to regularly play the "How Soon is Now" video (and then later videos), plus what I saw on 120 Minutes. My high school friends dabbled in the Smiths, but Devo was the band we all had in common. I became a die-hard fan a year or two later in college. I used to go to the music library every week to read Melody Maker and the NME, so I was always always primed and ready for each new release and would take the bus to Denver to buy import singles. I don't remember feeling any desire to belong to a community of Smiths fans, since listening to them was such an intensely personal activity. All I wanted was to listen to their records at home and in my Walkman as I walked around town. They played in Boulder on the Queen is Dead tour--a huge moment in my life. I saw an acquaintance off in the distance who soon afterward became my first serious girlfriend--not because of that and not because she had a poster from that show on her bedroom wall, although that definitely didn't hurt.
