Gonna put a pin in this one.

June 9, 2026

Here at AHTBM HQ (or H.A.A.H.T.B.B.H.Q. for short) I have fucked all the way off for several days because sometimes one needs to do that once a week, or month, or quarter, so in light of that, this week's effort might be a smidge light.

I would apologize if I cared but I don't.

Having said that, let's continue.

As I said, I don't have much in the way to report. I've been buried this week trying to stay alive, which come to think of it is an increasingly common theme.

"Of course" was my response, and after a few sparse conversations he concluded that he'd like to trade it to me for a painting of his beloved weirdo Kyber;

You know I'm no fan of them tan wall tires the kids go apeshit for, but maybe it's time to turn over a new leaf since I can't afford to replace them anyway.

Anyway, it's a ripper, I look forward to many years of questionable decisions with it, and I thank Greg for his dedication to crafting a vehicle on which I will assuredly make them.

Now there's this one for those who care;

The comment that resonates;

"I didn't expect to be this heartbroken."

Between sharing the sonic landscape created by Steve and Rick Froberg, I'm a better person for it.

Speaking of, a couple of months ago, I was lucky enough to end up with a copy of this Rye Coalition 7", which if you're a fan, I'd encourage you to attempt to do the same;
