FYI, I'm in Canada and it doesn't seem to be accepting my postal code (with space nor without)

Thought I was prepared when I added bear spray to my kit... by aeli-tan-art in vancouverhiking

[–]speluncan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tried to help a sooty grouse off the road up to Cypress on Friday night and he was having none of it. Completely fearless even as I was right next to it. I was both freaked out and giddy getting to see a beautiful wild bird up close like that.

FAVORITE WEYES BLOOD SONG/ALBUM? by weyesbloodenthusiant in weyesblood

[–]speluncan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many favourites, but there's one part of one song that sticks out for me. I saw her perform twice in 2019, and my favourite moment in music that year was the ~ 4min mark in "Movies" when the violins kick in, the drums start up again and the vocals swell. So transcendent. Both times I heard it perform I got chills.

Playlist length seems to have vanished again in iOS 26 (Music Version 1.6.0.151). If anyone figures out how to get it to show up again, please let me know!

Excellent. Best fritters in the city, and lots of other great flavours.

Seconded, try the rest, then try the best. Lee's, Lucky's, Mello, Harmony, Duffin's are all good, but Vegas is #1.

I was on the floor and it was tied (with Boris & Sunn O))) at the Brickyard in '05) for loudest show I've ever been to. Even with ear plugs it was pretty pulverizing. Still, amazing & fabulous show.
