Yesterday I add another batch of illustration at https://ko-fi.com/lokigwynbleidd/shop
These anarchist, antifa and anti-ableism posters are available as free DLs (but you can also tip me if you want to give some support)

TOM WAITS
Mule Variations
2018 U.S. 2xLP reissue
A perfect spin for a Saturday afternoon in winter.
I’ve been wanting to listen to this again for a few weeks, as it is probably still my SECOND favorite Waits album behind Rain Dogs.
For Tom to have made a record THIS level of stellar some 26 years into his career was INSANE. Tom albums are always GOOD, but Mule Variations is amongst two or three of his all-time finest.
Big in Japan, Hold On, House Where Nobody Lives, Come On Up To The House… start to finish. A perfect balance of every kind of Tom. The beautiful heartfelt ballads, and the junkyard stomps.
And “What’s He Building?” is an all-time weirdo Waits tune.

AFGHAN WHIGS
Congregation
2017 U.S. 2xLP reissue @ 45rpm
The only essential Whigs album I was missing, and I finally found it today!
I’ve never seen an original press, but this sounds so good on my system (cut at 45rpm), I don’t think I’ll ever need to bother.
Everybody calls Gentlemen the absolute Whigs masterpiece. They’re not wrong, as it is a stroke of #90s genius.
However, it always baffles me that few people hold Congregation in the same light.
It’s equally breathtaking, and the first REAL taste of how good the Whigs were.
Sub-Pop were on the brink of collapse when they made it, and the label couldn’t even pay the band’s studio bills.
Then NEVERMIND hit, & things were fine.
Didn’t matter.
The Whigs were off to Elektra after this.
I’m glad this reissue includes the hidden track “Miles Iz Ded” (it’s unlabelled), as it’s one of the great Whigs classics.

Snagged one (1) #Filofax from 1987, less common Wellington which as name suggests is made from a rubber type material rather than #vinyl / #leather - when I saw it was red and black I had to get it as it matches the colour of my car - and I wanted it to store my car maintenance log / petrol diary (I'm keeping my Winchester for other day to day notes and plans as its been with me since 1992 when I got it at a reduced price from some random shop in Reading)
It came with 2004/2005 diaries, old Tube/Underground map (still showing Surrey Quays as Surrey Docks and missing the DLR!) and a ratty set of dividers, and needed a bit of cleaning

Pixel logos I created in the early 1990s, using Deluxe Paint ("DPaint") on an Amiga. Back then, cassette tapes, diskettes and CD(-ROM)s were still hot storage media. 😃

I meant to post this amazing delivery from @ajroach42 & https://www.mountaintowntoys.com/ when I received it last week, so thanks to @derek for reminding me with this great thread!
https://social.coop/@derek/115888313020372319
I mean...that's a lot of awesomeness is a small package!
From a new "100 year old" Sky Pirates quartely, to toys made completely in house, to 2 #GameBoy color games made from their podcasts! I still can't oversell it, but I was speechless last week.
Oh yeah, you can play the games on computer, too!

Meitä suomalaisia ylikuluttajia komennetaan kuluttamaan lisää, mutta entä jos käytetty onkin uutta parempaa, kuten Ted Gioia kirjoittaa Substack-tilillään:
- New stuff is so poorly made that I’m now increasingly buying old items for my own use, and not only as gifts. The quality coming from the large online retailers is abysmal, and my safest bet is often secondhand.
