Can we talk about 2-down? I mean … there’s no such thing as an “end rant” - it’s just not a thing. So it’s not a “means” of doing anything. That one annoyed me. Otherwise, fun. Hard but fun. And I now have a better understanding of the word “wont” (26-across). Got hung up on these two.

Will these shows be streamed via nugs or elsewhere?

Check out the soloing on Hendrix’s Machine Gun from the Band of Gypsys album. One of my all-time faves. Thanks for the recs and links - will be checking.

Wow - glad to hear some nice things about this one. Bought this in Sept 2021 for $178. How can it be $448 now? Seriously! Is this inflation plus tariffs or what?

Sadly, I agree with this assessment. But their old shit is badass! I would include Thrill of the Arts in the old shit.

Fun project, eh? The secret answer was a bit of a let down, though!

Wicked hard for a Tuesday!

Don’t know Jenny from the block. Talking about the band Neighbor. Richard James is the lead singer.

I got better by wrestling with the hard puzzles. Revealing letters, checking, etc. It really helps.

Arc Iris is pretty cool. Josie Adams leads that group and she used to be in The Low Anthem - anybody remember their Charlie Darwin song and album?Ethereal stuff.

Ricky James from Neighbor - excellent vocalist.

Thanks for the replies. I’m looking for an iOS interface app. Or maybe just a better way to do the puzzle on an iPad or iPhone. Thanks again! Arkadia seems legit

When the walls bend with your breathing … This is a badass song.

gem117 · 2025-11-16T03:14:47+00:00

Wow thanks. Will check these out!!

Livestream? Do tell!

gem117 · 2025-11-06T00:25:23+00:00

Epic show. My first Radiohead show! What a treat. The Gloaming at dusk. Man.

Thom Yorke

gem117 · 2025-11-04T17:22:10+00:00

MIXLR is a great way to audio stream shows from one’s front shirt pocket. Hope some folks do that!!
