Sample Snitching - did the term start here?!

la fires
Yeah I am a little afraid to look too closely at the news from the Altadena fire - my best childhood friend just lost his mom, and his dad still lives in Altadena in the house I last saw them in. It'd be a real heavy double blow for his dad if he lost the house. Given the vague area I remember it being in (it was a few years back, and in my head it feels like it was butted right up against the hills to the north), I can't think how he hasn't. I'm just hoping I misremember the geography of the place.
Not much to hope for more widely, other than safe evacuations and as limited damage as possible, whatever that means.

Japan digging 2024
On my last time there (out of two trips in my life, no balleur) Nagasaki was cool, and we drove up the west coast to Hagi. All that shit ruled. Coastal walks, weird rest stops, not much else. A lot of totally impassible hilly terrain. Historical buildings to visit. Down in a random valley away from the coast was some museum of a petrified forest where you descend into an underground silo where they've dug out huge still-standing tree trunks and slowly resinized them so they don't rot. Hagi had an okonomiyaki joint manned by one guy, who self-styled as a samurai. I spent zero time looking for records outside Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka.Nagasaki itself was cool - Dejima, the Dutch district, was a tiny island in the city where the only foreigners allowed to land in Japan, the Dutch, were located - now it's an open-air town museum type thing. The atomic bomb museum is heart rending far beyond what you can put to words. I felt like it was better than the Hiroshima one but maybe I was just in a more receptive mood to utter downer material.Dunno, I wasn't the planner of these trips so I shouldn't say you can't find a place in Japan that is too boring to visit, but that's how it felt.

Not only teh vinyls

P.S. Pap.That’s what’s up.
These days I mostly just try to collect memories. A bit of hiking and travel. A lot of reading and playing the piano at home.
Sounds fucked. Memories don't fill Kallaxes. Nor do they burden your relatives with a multi-year reselling ordeal when you pass.

Collection strut 2024
Bandcamp has mixtapes! You can filter by format if you're just browsing. I have like four from Bay Area underground mainstay Luke Sick with 12 Man Rambo, series called Mobbulator. I get some of Weaponize Records' mixtape series as well, Funk Night Records' in-house mixtape series which they don't seem to be doing as much of now that they're releasing loads of LPs, along with random shit I picked up at the store (DJ Platurn's icelandic funk mix, random guys' beat tapes off bandcamp). Check bandcamp for new-release cassettes and be weirded out, like I was. Many you gotta be kind of quick though cause it's not a moneymaker for anybody - lots of runs of 50 or 100.I wish I had that Vadim though...
