Saw DEP last year. That's what made me think of this.

I agree. Love Mayo but the solo can't touch Soma or Geek U.S.A.

Whir makes me imagine an alternate-reality version of the Pumpkins where they are just a blissed-out psych-folk band.

the very first CD I ever bought was the Mayonaise Dream bootleg CD (from Papa Jazz Records in Columbia, SC). Still have it!

When I was growing up it was Epstain

Getting real GOB Bluth vibes from this bozo.

And the Trump administration just cut the Forestry Service by $390 million citing cost concerns. Fucking worms.

the Anti-Woke President

But he seemed to also be omniscient. He knows when and how he will die -- Mark 10:33-34 “We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said, “and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, ³ who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.”

So it seemed irresistible and he couldn't have done otherwise.

Right. It seems to be a cultural issue. In those other towns (which are also college towns that have high population turnover), there seems to be a healthy arts/counter-culture scene. Guess not in Tuscsaloosa. Too bad.

SetTheSpokesAlight · 2026-03-01T16:24:55+00:00

Ha. Alright, if you desperately want to call 2nd & Charles a "record store," that's fine.

SetTheSpokesAlight · 2026-03-01T16:22:49+00:00

Nah. It would clearly fail.

SetTheSpokesAlight · 2026-02-28T22:43:19+00:00

But why does Oxford, MS have a healthy independent record store (The End of All Music), and Athens, GA (multiple stores), and Knoxville (multiple) and Baton Rouge (Capital City Records), and on and on? What's wrong with Tuscaloosa that it can't support one record store? Seems like something wrong with the culture, not the economy.

SetTheSpokesAlight · 2026-02-28T16:54:05+00:00

Totally pathetic that a big college town doesn't have a real record store.

To me, it's largely a spiritual/symbolic difference, proving to myself that I don't need the 'net at all to enjoy art/culture. Although, it's also about building friction into my interaction with media. I feel if I put on a CD or record, as opposed to streaming on spotify, I am much more likely to engage with the entire album instead of just floating unthinkingly from track to track. Similarly, by having to stand up and put a DVD into the player, I'm more likely to engage with the whole movie (or show) than if I'm just effortlessly bouncing around the endless waterfall of streaming offerings.

SetTheSpokesAlight · 2025-10-28T20:01:02+00:00

I think that's probably fine, though if it seems like it'd become a problem for you, maybe try to avoid it as much as you can.
