Somali Yacht Club - Loom
Excellent name.
A heavy couple of months on the wine front
Time for a wine-specific detox.
Burnover
That man deserves a DB.
Oddities of South Auckland, Part 7 - Inspired by Mexican cartel hits, maybe..?
An unexpected and gruesome find in a southside neighbourhood this morning: A dismembered sheep on the side of the road. Unclear how, why, or who. Lovely.
The daily struggle is real
Those roadworks seem like they're never-ending. Consequently, so do the queues.
The Characters
The best series I've seen on Netflix so far. The Tim Robinson episode was perfect weirdness.
Characters of note (borrowing some descriptors from here):
- The Pointer Brothers (Tim Robinson)
- Homeless man who weaponises "Game of Thrones" spoilers (Natasha Rothwell)
- John, the gay narcissist at his own engagement party (John Early)
- Guy who tries out guns in a gun store as he describes murdering people over minor disagreements (Tim Robinson)
- Father who sings a country song to his baby daughter about his love for her future husband, Jeff (Tim Robinson)
- Jaspar Cooch (above), host of "Big Trucks" (Paul Downs)
- Guy who doesn't want to role-play as a black man during sex (Paul Downs)
Old gear
The old M-Audio interface (not recommended), and the Death by Audio Robot 8-bit pedal (cool concept, but limited in its practicality); 2012.
My only picture of my Dunedin effects board. From memory (left to right): Boss tremolo, EHX Big Muff, Vox Satchurator distortion, Guyatone overdrive.
