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.

SideWinder Force Feedback Pro – 26 Years Later // LGR
Before the Internet, I got a lot of my computer news from this man. RIP 🫡 https://obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/stewart-cheifet
@siracusa This is truly heartbreaking. I often go back and watch old episodes with so much nostalgia. In fact, I remember before most episodes were uploaded to YouTube, I binged on almost every episode one weekend while babysitting. I always would have loved to see a revival of the show done the same format and aesthetic reviewing modern versions of tech. #RIP Stewart Cheifet, definitely one of kind presenter. Thank you for documenting the era. #Technology #Microsoft #Apple #90s #Computers #PC

TEMPLE OF THE DOG
Temple Of The Dog
2016 U.S. 2xLP reissue
ETCHED
I’ve been wanting to listen to this great album again, as it’s been quite a while since I’ve listened to it front-to-back.
One of the two most recognizable #90s supergroup albums (along with Mad Season), and I find that depending on whose vocals you were more a fan of, Chris or Layne’s, THAT was the album you liked better.
Personally, I hold both Layne and Chris in the same regard. I loved and admired both of their otherworldly gifts equally, but musically, I’ve always leaned more towards the Temple record.
It’s got a different kind of magic and soul for me that the Mad Season album lacks, & these songs feature some of Chris’ most powerful vocal performances.
Love that beautiful etching of Side 4, too.
Goddamn it, do I miss Chris.
It still makes me so sad sometimes.

The U.S. patent for mp3 audio was granted on November 26 in 1996. This piece is kinda weird about it in spots, but it gives a decent history about how it laid the foundations for peer-to-peer music sharing, etc.
