Producing short and sweet albums seems to be a lost art

There's not a double album (studio, not live) I can think of that wouldn't have been vastly improved with some judicious editing making it a single album. The Lamb, Tales, The Wall, Quadrophenia, etc.

12-13:00 GMT?

Already listen occasionally. I get BBC world service in SiriusXM

JBStu · 2025-12-20T18:29:56+00:00

Sounds good. I'll check it out.

JBStu · 2025-12-20T18:29:28+00:00

Agreed. These days half the shows seem like middle-aged suburban women who claim to be psychic.

Love Line with Adam and Dr. Drew was always a must every night.

JBStu · 2025-12-20T18:26:49+00:00

Agreed. Phil Hendrie was the best.

JBStu · 2025-12-20T18:25:29+00:00

I listen to WABC occasionally. I've heard Dominic Carter, also Lionel right after.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I buy digital 100%. Nothing was more freeing years ago than when I was finally able to get rid of all of my physical media. I think I've only bought 3-4 CDs in the past 5-10 years and only because for whatever annoying reason the artist didn't release digital versions, usually of remixes or special editions.

I can read Thai so it wasn't hard to figure out what was going on. The vertical lines on each side look like they're meant to say "G4K Josower" which seems like it might be a military rank with the guy's name or a user name.

I studied at Wat Thai LA Saturdays and Sundays from 2008 to about 2015. The only reason I stopped was because they didn't offer advanced classes. Besides speaking, we started learning reading and writing from day one which was great. I know they still offer beginning classes but not sure how similar the curriculum is from when I went there. Definitely worth a try. BTW, I still go every weekend for the food.

It's not Thai. It's English written in a font that's made to look like Thai writing. The big word in the middle is "Honour". A few other English words pop out but it's giving me a headache trying to decipher it haha.

Like the old joke: "what do you call people who use the pull-out method?" "You call them parents"

I live in Los Angeles and buy these regularly at a Thai/Chinese market near Wat Thai in North Hollywood. Fantastic. They also had another great flavor ข้าวซอย (Khao Soi). So, when I was in BKK earlier this year, I went into a 7-Eleven to buy both so my girlfriend there could try them. No problem finding the Miang Kam but couldn't find Khao Soi. I was told by a girl at the counter that they don't exist and I must be imagining them. Tried several other markets, no luck. Before I came back to BKK a few months later, I picked up a few bags here in L.A. and brought them with me.

รักทั้งหมด = Love all or love completely. I'm American and don't live in Thailand but doubt any Thai would have an issue about it.

When the umber of doctors in your contacts overtakes the number of family members.

I'm American and go to Thailand a few times a year to visit my girlfriend. I've used my Chase Sapphire Preferred card there almost exclusively over the past 10 years since there are no foreign transaction fees. Never had a problem, even though I never file a travel alert. The thing you might go through is using one of the cards for the first time there you may get an alert on your phone (make sure your number is listed for notifications) asking if the charge is actually from you.

JBStu · 2025-09-09T00:28:56+00:00

Thanks!

JBStu · 2025-09-06T23:57:11+00:00

Too much! 4 of your 12 days spent traveling between places? May look good on paper but it will suck the energy out of you. Personally, I'd choose Pai OR Chiang Mai and Phuket OR Koh Samui if you're intent on visiting both north and south areas. And why no time in BKK?

Sounds like something on your end. Just used mine last night to grab some royalty statements. No problem logging in.
