One year ago today we lost one of the greatest performers in history. Growing up, Sabbath and Ozzy were everything to me. Ozzy's rock-n-roll rebel spirit lives on forever.

Gonna check in with the doctor to see if he can find my voice.

Sam Neill was truly something to behold on the screen. He could do more with just a simple expression than most actors can with pages of dialogue. My favorite role of his was John Trent from In the Mouth of Madness. RIP, he will be sorely missed.

Incredible finds at the local vinyl shop. The Mingus is new, the others used but MINT.

My birthday present to myself arrived just in time. I LOVE this album, it’s definitely in my top ten list of favs in any musical genre.

Somebody is NOT happy about visiting the vet.

This is 59. I don’t feel my age, I hope I never do. I’m just getting cranked up. Here. We. Go!

I am the last glass.

In the list of local WiFi connections at my apartment complex there’s this and exactly WTF is going on here?!

It's Pride Month!

I should have had this classic vinyl in my collection earlier. I've streamed it many times, but now I get to hear it as intended. RIP Mr. Rollins.

New Green Lung album, NECROPOLITAN, releasing in September, which feels like a long time away ... because it is! New single sounds great. Digging the purple artwork of the album cover.

Here's the Martin. Sounds great, and plays well, but my fingers aren't as strong as they used to be. Working with an acoustic is definitely going to get that strength back.

Excerpt from today's writing session.

Doing a little dog-sitting with mom’s dog Reese. He mad because I won’t let him out past the patio gate. He’ll get over it.

New vinyl that's come to live with me today.

It was the blue that caught my eye. I'm very rusty, but it's coming back to me. Need to practice to get my fingers tough again.

New classic rock that's come to live with me. Stella remains unimpressed.

Been listening to Blood Ceremony for 2 days. Jethro Tull psychedelic doom folk horror vibes. Excellent band, witchy tone all around. Singer plays keyboard and flute. I have a feeling you'd dig this band, @pauljessup.com, if you haven't heard them already. I think a lot of friends would like them.

Bought one of them fancy stands for my vinyl. Top left is jazz, which needs more friends.

Whoever placed this sticker on the wrapper on this album, probably ruining the whole aesthetic, should never have another peaceful day in their miserable life. Some people just don’t give a fuck.

How about the back cover of an album? Opeth's SORCERESS.

New albums I picked up while on vacation. Back to work tomorrow.

Me and Reese, hanging out.
