  1. Bill Callahan, Shepherd In A Sheepskin Vest, 2019 on Drag City

    Bill Callahan's sixth studio album under his own name (he previously led a project under the name Smog), recorded at Wonder Chamber in Austin Texas, which is Brian Beattie's home studio. Beattie plays on the record along with Matt Kinsey, Adam Jones, Gary Newcomb, and Callahan. Callahan is a consistent and prolific artist - maybe he's not for everyone, but I could just put his whole catalog on for weeks at a time. Still looking for many of his earlier releases as they don't show up often in […]

  3. As part of the massive I-35 expansion boondoggle, TxDOT has a huge project underway quite some distance from I-35 itself, over by Levander Loop/US183/Old Montopolis Bridge, diverting rainwater to the Colorado River (I think).

    This is the thicket of cranes currently on the construction site. I ride by it on my commute to work.

  8. This is, by far, the absolute most inefficient and ridiculous way I've machinated to listen to local classic rock radio. (And I'm into amateur radio.)

  13. The sky is a sickly shade of powder blue, like a Nudie Suit, from the Saharan dust plume. The water tastes of zebra mussels. Someone obviously messed with Texas. I want them found and brought to me.

  18. At exactly the point where this protected bike lane ends, metered parking (in what is still a bike lane) begins, so not only are cars creating a blind alley and a hazard for cyclists, the city is profiting from it.

  33. I walked home tonight in the rain under a hat made from the local weekly newspaper. Haven't done that in a while.

    Frankly, it's the best use of the Austin Chronicle in recent memory.

  38. Went to Alamo South Lamar to see I Love Boosters. Great movie. The shopping complex the theater is in has instituted paid (and expensive) parking that’s completely unattended (of course). You’re supposed to be able to get credit after you pay if you are going to the theater, but the system they’re using for that isn’t working. The Alamo staff were having us write down our plate numbers. I’m less than confident this will work.

    Since Sony’s takeover, I’ve cooled a lot on the Alamo in general. The food has gone downhill, the bathrooms are filthy (no surprise since they reduced staff), but it’s still expensive.

    After Southwest Airlines took private equity, they remade themselves to be exactly as customer-hostile as all the other airlines. Before, I would always give them priority. Now I treat them like any other airline. I had given Alamo priority (so had lots of other people—shows would often be sold out there and wide-open at other theaters), but I’m going to start treating them like any other cinema.

  43. Imagine me at the bar in #AustinTX trying to explain to my drunk buddies about the province-controlled liquor stores in #Ontario and blanking on the acronym. Quel horror!

    Eventually I remembered "Liquor Control Board of Ontario" or #LCBO. LOL! Brains are stupid nobody should have them.
