I’m frustrated by the music industry, or perhaps the streaming services, by the lack of attention to detail regarding album release dates. This fault is going to make a future endeavor of mine harder. At the beginning of next year, or perhaps sooner, I want to listen to the entire catalog of a chosen musician/band, in order of album release. However, as notified by Apple Music just yesterday, The Who have a new album on Apple Music called “Who Are You”. Save ITP-Reader Jenka, the rest of you probably also recognize that “Who Are You” was originally released in the 1970s (1978 to be exact), yet when you look at The Who’s discography in Apple Music “Who Are You” is marked with a 2025 release date. I do t care if there are extra songs, or the online album now consists of unreleased or remastered tracks, this album was released in 1978 goddammit!
I feel as if one day, hopefully soon, I will randomly pick the correct starter word from my Wordle Starter List and score another ace. Yesterday’s solution, SHORT, was the word I chose as a starter four times in the past three months, the latest time being ten days ago.
Wordle: frustrating five, my starter was OPIUM. Maybe I’m not as close to scoring an ace as I thought…
Who?

Third base!
Who’s on first base, I don’t know is on third. š
Bonus question: First song played when WKLS (96Rock) switched over from “easy listening” to Rock…way back in 1974?
73 de JG/HamWithCam
No idea.
Baba O’Riley.
Bingoā¦
That was a serious “Old man yells at cloud” rant! LOL! š
For your endeavor, I wouldn’t trust Apple since many bands re-release albums which would modify dates. Go with Wikipedia or Google for the correct order of the albums.
My 2 cents that you didn’t ask for.
Old Man rant from a proper old man. š
I donāt trust any streaming service to be honest. I would have crosschecked Spotify, but they wanted me to download their app, and I didnāt find that worth it to me. Wikipedia will probably the source of truth, for better or worse.
Taylor Swift will be a tough one to do this – since she re-recorded most of her music.
Call it a hunch, but Iām pretty sure TS isnāt who Paulie was thinking about.
I just had a vision of Paulie dancing around his living room with Shake It Off blaring in the background
LOL
come on Steve – EVERYONE loves Taylor Swift. š
Lol. Fat chance I will delve into TayTayās discography.
What may be interesting is that this idea started while listening to a podcast about CCR. While I know all of their hits, I donāt know if Iāve ever listened to any of their albums front-to-back.
Any one up for a bonus Wordle today?

Huh, thatās cool. Not played yetā¦
HA! In 3!!
A six-letter Wordle that doesnāt accept DANGEN is dead to me. Lol
I’m not a fan of 6 letter Wordle – that took too much thought
Well, you can create your own, and then get that long-awaited ace! š
Iām watching season 8 of āMortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishingā which has been illegally uploaded to YouTube. Funnily the uploader is asking for donations midway through each video. I assume that these uploads will be deleted from YouTube by Monday, so Iām watching while I can.
never heard of this – what type of show is it?
And the donations are to cover his legal expenses.
Nah, his channel will just get deleted.
Two old friends go fishing and stay in nice accommodations around the UK. It started after one guy, Bob Mortimer, had open heart surgery and his friend, Paul Whitehouse, wanted him to get out and do things.
Itās a very calm, humorous show which is filmed beautifully as well.
AFAIK it doesnāt legally stream anywhere, but DVDs of some seasons can be purchased.
This sounds amazing. I am going to look this up.
started watching the 4th season of Then Morning Show with JoAnna last night, she doesn’t have Apple TV anymore. So, now I have to wait for her to watch more episodes. (ok, I really don’t, I could watch it twice……)
Besides that, nothing interesting going on around here.
Did find some ahi tuna at Aldi yesterday for 50% off, so that’s what’s for dinner tonight. Trying to figure out what to make with it.
Tell her to resubscribe because there are people out there counting on Appleās stock price to retire. š
You think I don’t know when one of the most famous albums of all time came out, just because I was 3 at the time?
My work dinner went great last night and thankfully ended before 8:00. I spent the night at the Emory conference center and slept like a log. Today is a full day of re-accreditation meetings.
The roofers have taken off FOUR layers of roofing, apparently they just kept roofing over the old roof for the past 112 years. Our neighbor took a pic of the original wood shingles from 1913.
Thatās a LOT of weight! (And the year my dad was born).
Well, you are but a child. š
Wow, thatās amazing. I canāt recall if the roofers stripped my old shingles or not. I know that had to in one section because it requires a rubber sub layer to keep water from leaking through the shingles due to the fact that itās a flat section.
OK, now without further distractionsā¦ Wordle in 5.
A nice ride on the old scooter yesterday looking for lunch. Warm Springs was my destination and there was a sort of odd traffic jam with a crew taking down a tree in the heart of town. No patience for that. On to Manchester with only sketchy Mexican as an option. Back towards Woodbury and a known quantity of bar food and Mexican. Overly attentive service- halfway through my meal, the waitress brought me a drink to go. Not really something I can use on the MC, but I thanked herā¦
And something every shop needs arrived yesterday- a 10 ton hydraulic press!! I have some bent mower wheels that I want to straighten and this seemed like a possible solution. And who doesnāt want a 10 ton press? For just over $100 I couldnāt say no.
-FP
I feel like I would say no to a 10 ton hydraulic press even if it was less than $100.
Lol, literally
You couldn’t even pay me enough money to take that damn thing.
I harvested all of my Jerusalem artichokes yesterday. I didnāt realize they probably should have stayed in the ground until a freeze occurred because the oxidize and start to degrade once harvested.
In order to save some of the harvest I am experimenting with fermenting a half-gallon of them.
Last season Atlanta United tried rolling back the clock to the Good Years by bringing back Miguel AlmirĆ³n; it was a colossal flop. Next season they will attempt to make us think itās 2019 by bringing back the original head coach, Tata Martino.
