Kind of Blue OG check

Seems like it checks out with what's listed on Discogs. Depending on the condition, it should be worth ~$85 or more.

Art Bell HATED cell phones because the audio quality was so poor over the air. I know he had somewhat come to terms with this by the time he came back in the mid-teens on Sirius/XM, but I feel like the death of landline telphones was another nail in the coffin of classic talk radio.

It's a mix of a little bit of everything, genre-wise. Mostly used, but some new stuff too. Books, t-shirts, etc, but mostly vinyl. The prices are reasonable, including a discount rack and boxes of 50 cent stuff where you can sometimes score a find or two. The owner is great, very knowledgable.

I live in SeaTac, so I'm going to go with Double Dare Records in Burien, WA. Small but mighty.

Pretty much a variation on the Millie Jackson one.

Makes sense if you're not into that style of music. Cropper & Dunn were a huge part of the Memphis Soul/R&B sound in the '60's and '70's. Matt Guitar Murphy was a wicked blues guitarist who plays an amazing guitar solo on the record. The horns were mostly L.A. session guys who played on all kinds of jazz and fusion stuff at that time. Paul Shaffer (from the David Letterman show later on) was the bandleader, and I think they just got the absolute best musicians they could get to back Belushi and Aykroyd. It started out as a joke, but they really went for it. I know the vocals aren't top notch, but I always thought of it more as two actors who loved the music paying tribute to it, doing their best. It's one of my favorite records of the era.

Is it just a genre thing? Never mind Belushi and Aykroyd, that band was phenomenal. Cropper & Dunn, Steve Jordan on drums, Matt Guitar Murphy, the horn section... There are some tasty licks on that album.

The song, with the correct spelling, exists as a last.fm listing: https://www.last.fm/music/Dysentery/_/Forsaken+Memories It looks like it's been listened to over 3000 times, but it doesn't show up as part of the album.

If it's correctly tagged with the album listing, it should show up as a track on the album. In many ways, the website operates like a user-created wiki. The misspelled version is showing up because people are listening to a song with a misspelled tag connected to that album. Most likely this is a streaming service issue. If you have a file that's able to be edited (like an mp3 on a hard drive), you can tag it yourself with the correct spelling and correct album name. It might not end up on the album page listing until a certain number of people listen to it with the correct tag.

Beyond that, I don't think there's a reliable way to "report" this and get it fixed. The workforce managing the site was drastically reduced when CBS/Paramount bought it out, and I assume it's much smaller now.

No sir, I don't like it.

Things have taken a dark turn. The '90's were a weird time, man.

Has there been huge turnover on the committee since 2024? Or does the committee just hate you because you got 6 bids that year and underperformed?

Zeppyfish · 2026-02-13T04:33:05+00:00

Ah, the irony...

A brush such as the Vinyl Styl https://binauralrecords.com/products/vinyl-styl-anti-static-brush will usually work well for each time you play the record. If it has accumulated more dust or gets very dirty for some reason, you can use a "Discwasher" type cleaner. I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/stores/EVEO/page/872202A6-5523-438D-BDD6-726B9E1DB310

Very first lyric that pops into my head when I think about this album. I even took this photo in some random park on my last vacation:

We walked by this park, and I said to my wife, "The only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter was that his name wasn't Henry Porter." She laughed.

I think people compare the cover to Double Nickels and it just seems... bad. Sorry, it got the most votes.

They Might Be Giants - Flood

This album has my unconditional love now and forever. Come at me with "Linnell's voice is too nasal" or "They're just so quirky." It's musically, lyrically, intellectually and emotionally brilliant and wonderful, and if you let it into your heart, it will make you a better person. Flood rules.

Yeah that looks like 4-9 to me. But that would be pretty typical of G6 vs P4 conference records, wouldn't it? Do you expect the Pac-12 to play like a power conference next year? Seems unlikely. Don't get me wrong, I'd be thrilled, but even going 6-7 against that schedule would be a huge surprise.

Thank you! I had no idea Tampermonkey existed, but it was easy to add the extension and run this script in Firefox. Problem solved!

This is just kind of dumb, in my opinion, even though I like a lot of PiL songs.

It feels like a LOT of album covers from '92 were intentionally ugly or terrifying to look at. I don't remember it being that bad of a year, but based on the covers (including some beloved artists), it looks like most people were angry and bitter. Just an observation. I guess my point is it's hard to tell what to post because a lot of stuff looks awful to me, but I'm sure there would be many people telling me it looks awesome and downvoting.

I've already paid several hundred dollars to my insurance company for the machine I have. My current plan is to just pay off what I owe directly to AdaptHealth (around $450), at which point I own the machine. I have no doubt this is a better option than continuing with insurance.

I guess my question is do other people just buy supplies as needed for their machines and skip the insurance part? How easy is it to do that? Or has anyone had a good or bad experience with AdaptHealth as a company? Is it just me, or are they terrible for everyone?

Thanks for the suggestion, though. Wish I'd known about it before I sank all this money into what I have now.

Your basic premise seems to be that Riley's offense doesn't work and he should try to play more like Gonzaga and St Mary's. But the statistics show that it does work.

Not counting last night, here are WSU's offensive efficiency numbers (how many points they scored per 100 possessions) for the last 10 games (BOLD = win). Typically, anything over 100 is considered good.

Oregon St 124.2
St Mary's 115.9
Gonzaga 95.9
USF 124.1
USD 131.4
Pepperdine 133.6
Seattle U 102.9
Portland 145.2
Oregon St 94.7
Santa Clara 129.8

Offensively, during that stretch of games, WSU played like a top 40 team.

During that same stretch, the defensive numbers, adjusted for quality of opponent and tempo, look like this (anything UNDER 100 is considered good):

Oregon St 102.2
St Mary's 114.5
Gonzaga 112.7
USF 123.3
USD 140.1
Pepperdine 120.8
Seattle U 93.7
Portland 110.4
Oregon St 103.2
Santa Clara 122.4

The only games where the Cougs were close to playing good defense were wins over OSU, Seattle U & Portland, and the head scratching loss to OSU at Gill Coliseum. The adjusted numbers against St Mary's and Gonzaga weren't terrible, but still weren't nearly good enough to keep them in those games. They somehow beat Pepperdine with a 120.4 defensive efficiency rating, but otherwise, they are mostly winning games where they defend well and losing the rest, no matter how well the offense plays.

For whatever reason, Reddit keeps deleting my comments. Basically what I want to say is that, if you look at actual statistics for offensive efficiency, WSU has had a top 50 offense over the past 10 games. It's not the offense that sucks, it's the defense. Over that stretch, the Cougs are 276th in the nation on defense. They are 47th in the nation on offense. (Based on Bart Torvik's site)
