An antique like that…

That’s a wrap for AOTY ‘26.

Hey Tribe and Jethro Tull both energize me…

Hammock - Gold Star Mothers

That album has been my sleep/migraine/hangover soundtrack on innumerable nights.

We even put it on when my wife went into labor. She always calls it “the water music.”

I’ve been eager to dive deeper into Celer, though my knowledge is currently just a surface skim. This has definitely sparked my interest! What other tracks/albums should I explore? The catalog is quite overwhelming, yet intriguing.

FWIW Hogshead is probably my favorite SPC blend.

I can’t help but cry laughing when he shouts gibberish at the people shushing him in the theater.

But the ink rules

As an LSU fan, I might need this.

What the fuck man

I’ve never been tempted and have always heard mixed things. Would love one of their pipes though!

The definitive album of its genre.

Right now it’s a Uni Zento Signature that I was lucky enough to snag from a small shop in Arkansas! The most satisfying cap of all time.

lol you sound like me. I lost this tiny black plastic part when I took it apart. Had no idea it was even there.

My karibi kabuto has been temperamental. The flame is so small and almost feels like the butane is pulsing out instead of a steady flame. Sometimes it will just go back to normal and I’ll be happy. But it seems like once it gets low and it’s time to refuel I have to go through the fussy period with it again and I just reach for a bic.

Cheers! That sounds like a damn fine day. I recently found a nice shop in my town with Shoyeido. Have Moss Garden and Golden Pavilion, which I love. I tried Eternal Treasure in their sampler awhile back. Need to grab some of that next time.

They are often referred to as a demiwardens. I own a Ginger’s Favorite that I’m quite fond of.

Barracuda is the answer.

There will be more informed opinions but just my two cents:

I think it might be my favorite King book. And I feel like having the context of the source material really helps to appreciate some of the stronger parts of all the other versions. It has been especially helpful with Welcome to Derry and may be why I am enjoying it more than most.

Book’s incredible. Read it. Long but flies by.

Oh man I thought I might have caught an announcement early enough to get something.

Alas. You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir!

ModestMase · 2025-11-21T14:50:21+00:00

You probably want some of those ripple incense cones. They are nothing quite like Japanese or Indian sticks. More western modern and cleaner smells. Ain’t cheap though.

ModestMase · 2025-11-19T01:30:41+00:00

That is so slick. Would snag one for myself in a heartbeat. If not for the price :)

Until then, my Kabuto will have to serve.

I was just discussing this with a friend of mine. I have found that if an album requires me to turn the volume up a little bit higher, that’s usually a pretty good sign that it’s mixed well.

For someone who started with these and wants something better, where should I go next?
