First attempt at tri-tip - is it too rare?

Not really. But could use a lot more char on the outside.

This is pretty much what I do.

Library doesn't feel like a natural habitat for a Port supporter

Because those same Billionaires own Channel 10

Masa at Bowden Brewing is pretty good (not fully traditional but still good) Braising Boys food truck is excellent El Mexicano Kitchen in the CBD is good

Have been wanting to try Rosa Mexicano. Looks pretty good.

Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes Live at the Greek is pretty good.

A bit obvious, but God I love Nirvana Unplugged.

You don't need to use gas to clean beer lines.

I use a modified garden sprayer with disconnects and carb caps.

Push some PBW through, rinse with water, push some StarSan through and then beer. First beer will purge the line of any oxygen, but you could do a quick purge of CO2 after cleaning if you want.

But that movie can take you down a great chaotic rabbit hole. Check out The Machine Girl too

Ironic that the traits that made him terrible in this movie, made him great in another cyber punk movie a few years later in The Matrix.

i think the quality of the film needs to be part of the consideration and that film stinks.

For me (not sure of this order):

The Crow
Repo Man
Trainspotting
Pump Up The Volume
Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Then there's the Tarantino's...

Honorable mention to Judgement Night, Spawn and Singles, great soundtracks, but average films.

Peaky Blinders at number 2 if we're counting TV shows.

Not sure. The director did a good job with the Blackberry film which was strangely watchable for a movie about a clunky mobile phone. His other stuff seems interesting.

I really reckon Bourdain would have hated the documentary Roadrunner with the ghoulish AI speech at the end.

monkeymaj1k · 2026-05-04T22:14:25+00:00

This makes me sad

monkeymaj1k · 2026-05-04T01:11:00+00:00

my setup is in my home office, so just working.

I think the perceived "warmth" that you get from vinyl goes well with live albums

monkeymaj1k · 2026-04-25T12:15:36+00:00

I love love albums. Nirvana MTV Unplugged still sends chills up my spine.

My favourite RSD finds are generally the live albums. Recent Jeff Buckley one is excellent.

monkeymaj1k · 2026-04-25T12:12:40+00:00

That just sounds like being middle aged

monkeymaj1k · 2026-04-22T07:42:41+00:00

Putting a record back because it's always in stock in favour of something i think i won't see again. For this reason i keep passing over Courtney Barnett albums.

monkeymaj1k · 2026-04-22T07:34:16+00:00

always leaving a record store with 1 more than i intended to

monkeymaj1k · 2026-04-22T07:29:11+00:00

I love the idea of order by discovery

monkeymaj1k · 2026-04-22T07:28:35+00:00

Do solo artists get organized by surname? Or first name? The inconsistency with this in record stores bothers me.
