  4. VARIOUS ARTISTS
    All Ears (10 New And Original Hits With A CB Theme)
    1977 U.S. pressing

    Quite the ridiculous record that I just couldn’t pass up, because it looked JUST like my kinda stupid.

    Made for Radio Shack in the mid #70s , this is a collection of songs that all have a CB theme to them.

    Rock, jazz, R&B, gospel, soul… this thing is ALL over the place, but all the songs drive down the Citizens Band 2-Way radio highway.

    In all honesty, there’s some pretty good tunes on here. “Honey Bee (Please Answer Me)” by Randy Goodrum is a particular standout for me, as is “Everybody's Somebody (In Our C.B. World)” by Ed Bernet.

    For only $1.00, I couldn’t go wrong.
    Pretty entertaining shit, straight down to the “Index Of Terms Used By CB’ers” on the back cover.

    10-4, good buddy.
    Over and out.

  5. Look, another gizmo promising to be the Swiss Army knife of tech toys 🤖✨. Apparently, it's for "makers, #pentesters, and geeks"—because who doesn't need an overpriced doodad to prove their superiority in tinkering 🔧🙄. Spoiler: It's just another gadget you’ll abandon in a drawer after the #novelty wears off. 😂🔋

    I mean… put yourself in MY position.

    You’re in the record store, minding your own business, flipping through some used bins… and you come face to face with THIS record.
    Are you telling me you’re gonna walk away without buying it?
    You’re gonna leave the John Lennon of Vulcans there alone for some OTHER asshole to buy and have it enrich THEIR life?!
    No. I didn’t think so.

    “Highly Illogical” and “The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins” are legitimate bangers.

    Tomorrow, when I wake up, I can look at myself in the mirror and know that I made the only LOGICAL decision there was to make.

    Live long(ish) and prosper, I guess.

  7. FLASH PACKAGING

    A lot of things marketed as pleasure are really just agitation with flash packaging.

    Sugar, outrage, scrolling, gossip, novelty, compulsive buying, the whole glittering little circus.

    Perfume on things that were never designed to make the body peaceful.

  8. "The subculture lifecycle is a problem only from a geek perspective. As far as mops [members of the public] are concerned, it provides reliable, low-cost waves of novelty entertainment and casual social relationships. As far as sociopaths are concerned, it generates easily-exploited pools of prestige, sex, power, and money."
