Do you have ANY idea how happy you made me when you cited the Joey Ramone unit (JRu) on the air on WAB last week? That made my WEEK! I am glad my humble contribution to science has gone mainstream!

I picked up some smoked gouda in your honor last week! And tripled my supply of pecorino romano so I can keep working on my cacio e pepe.

Thanks!

Smoked gouda melts real well. And hooray for cacio e pepe.

Yesterday I snipped some lilacs to bring in the house. There's lots of birds in the yard, and a tall stand of pines behind the house.

The Zodiac was a great Oxford venue back in the day! Don't know if the The Wheatsheaf / Port Mahon are still operating, I think The Cellar closed. It was great to grow up and see all the experimental rock in the mid 2000s although I missed the boat on Deerhoof playing there.

@Brian in UK: I had a few pairs of cardinals here, but they may be nesting further north as I haven't seen them in a few weeks. I also had a gang of goldfinches. And the gray catbirds are still around with their really cool songs. This yard is excellent for birds. Bushes and small trees, and then tall trees just behind the yard. The crows hang out in the tall trees.

This song triggers a memory. On MLK Jr. day 2017, my wife was driving me to the airport on a trip to deal with my mom's estate. We were listening to Surface Noise in the car. Joe played the Gil Scott-Heron song. It was a melancholy trip to take though listening to Joe made it better. My wife and I both noted the name of this album. This is a great track too. Maybe it's time to purchase this.
