“When You Walk,” from last year’s Q.A.R., shows that Kerry Livgren and Greg X. Volz still have their fastballs, both aging like a great whiskey. Love this song. kerrylivgren.bandcamp.com/track/whe…

Finished Joel Rosenberg’s latest last night, finally completing his Marcus Ryker series I began in mid-April. Stellar books, definitely recommended.

Watching LSU-OSU on ESPN+. Crews hits a 2-run homer. I rewind & pause so my wife can see it. Every time I press play, the stream COMPLETELY STARTS OVER.

Disappointing on many levels, but so far as I’m concerned, the definitive ending of The Punisher happened with the incredible run by Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerads. #RIPFrankCastle www.cbr.com/punisher-…

It’s as if no one has ever read every sci-fi story written about AI, nor watched every movie made about same. www.foxnews.com/tech/us-m…

My wish for #WWDC2023 is if I get a voice mail on my iPhone, I actually have the voice mail available before or at the same time as the transcribed text message, instead of hours or days later.

And in today’s metal mailbag, new Wytch Hazel music! And classics from Barren Cross, Bloodgood, Bride, and Petra, thanks to Girder Music’s sale.
