Stranded

My second album, Velvet Trace is out today on Grey Market Records. strandedmsk.bandcamp.com/album/velvet-t…

Are there some open rooms at The Hague right now? I know some people that would perfect guests for it.

@chumba783 @ProfessorPape Not saying I agree but a precedent

@strandedmsk @ProfessorPape Pattern. Thank you.

Nevada national guard unit called up for the Gulf. Realistic look at Stage 3 ground operations in Iran war:

@chumba783 @ProfessorPape They did the same in Iraq

@ProfessorPape Why does a national guard unit need to be called?

@jimcramer How the hell do you have a job? This isn't rocket science. Bbbls are constrained, demand up, and supply is down.

How can oil be up and the war be over.. Can't have both...

@Calvbetton @JohnBrewin_ Not British, but Carlos D of Interpol stood out from that era hence why those first two albums still work for me.

@JohnBrewin_ The best bands always have great bass players. None of the bands of that era had even good bass players.

The image and the story was good. They did what rock stars were supposed to, though people got hurt. The music, not so much. Post-Britpop indie always had this awkward lack of groove to it.

@ZaidJilani Yeah I always grew up on that UK/US "special relationship" along with our buds to the North. This Evangelical / Neocon push to be close with Israel has been disastrous

@szgoldner Then the worst and most annoying people will make it an identity.

it’s so fun to watch certain movies go from being underrated to overrated

@joetrainorjunk Any of the short stories by Algernon Blackwood. "The Willows" and "The Wendigo" being my favorites.

any suggestions for cosmic / lovecrafty horror books that are entertaining and not like overly dense? (i know i know thats kind of the vibe)

@SirWirtz @matthewstoller The reserves will buy some time, but I think we won't see the true physical effects of the lack of oil moving through the straight until the next few weeks when deliveries stop showing up.

@strandedmsk @matthewstoller Stocks are still pretty close to ATHs… still feels like traders feel this is all a temp blip, rather than something that could mirror the 70s oil crisis.

Why are oil speculators assuming this war is short and irrelevant? Yesterday I talked to an energy analyst I highly respect, and he waved off the Iran situation. Oil/gas markets are dynamic and flexible, he posited, they can handle it. They did during the Ukraine war and Covid. Countries will switch to coal, change behavior, et al. That's what Jim Cramer was saying as well, he said he just couldn't imagine Iran controlling something important, just bomb them to the stone age, he said. Then I listened to @TheStalwart and @tracyalloway conversation with @Rory_Johnston and Johnston noted that this view is the conventional wisdom in the markets. That makes sense. Recency bias is that shutting Hormuz is manageable, just as shutting off Russian oil exports was manageable. in 2022. The markets will realize this situation is different, but it'll take a bit more time. Then when something serious breaks, they'll panic. There will be the pre-panic era, which we're in now, and then the post-panic era. The world will look fundamentally different.

@Calvbetton Calvin, being from the Manchester area, did you go to the Hacienda back in the day? I should have submitted this question to the pod for audio record. I can't believe I've never thought to ask.

Truly amazing footage this of one bloke pressing play, and the other bloke watching him. Momentous stuff.

@DOBrienATL "My Spine (Is the Bassline)" is an all-timer for me. Love this album. So underrated.

“Clear Trails” was on Shriekback’s 1983 debut full-length album Care, and also appears on this compilation, The Infinite, a year later. #shriekback #postpunk #newwave #vinyl #recordcollection

@BTRowland We are in midseason form. Top stuff.

just the start the braves wanted

@Calvbetton Because I know you love Agassi. Not saying you didn't think he was great, just boring. I could have my wires crossed.

@strandedmsk what’s with this talk of him not being my guy? Best server of all time, imo.

Easy.

The new Epstein files production features numerous allegations made against Donald Trump and others.

@nickshirleyy You are so over your head.

If protesters were to never impede federal investigations they would never be put in a dangerous position Don’t make a federal law enforcement agent decide in a split second decision if their life is at threat or not Tragic, bad and sad situation all around Don’t let these protests distract from the fraud they are actively trying to hide and divert from

Alex Pretti was murdered.

@RepJeffries You're cool with this DHS funding. You aren't going to do a thing.

Donald Trump and GOP extremists are trying to gaslight America. Trust your eyes. Not extremist lies. The video exposing the brutal slaying of VA nurse Alex Pretti speaks for itself.

NRA aint never been as quiet as they are right now lol
