We just had spring primaries here in Wisconsin a couple days ago. The only state wide race was for state school superintendent. The incumbent, Tony Evers, is a huge proponent of public schools while the other candidates were proponents of systems more in line with the current GOP (vouchers, choice etc.). This is a

The best. If you told people they were eating steak tacos, they wouldn't know the difference.

The one and only. Dammit, I'm going to have to stop for a jar on the way home now.

Yeah, Milwaukee resident. We have it at all grocery stores year round. It's awesome.

Catfish is probably my favorite easy to come by fish. Super flexible to work with and has a really great taste. Also, in regards to pickled herring. It's really fucking good. Either in a wine sauce or a cream sauce, a piece of herring on a high end cracker is a fantastic snack.

Yeah, and with geese, if you can, try to get someone to get you a wild one. I find the domesticated ones are too fat and greasy (duck is the same one). Wild waterfowl are leaner because of all the flying and I find the taste better because they themselves eat a wider variety of food instead of just pellets or

My favorite thing when I get home from duck hunting is to pan fry the hearts and liver, a little olive oil, little garlic, maybe a little mushroom if you have enough hearts and livers. My kids were disgusted by this until they tried it. Now, if I want any I have to make sure I do it before they get home from school.

Calaveras County?

It's because people are fucking soft. I'm only kind of joking. It's a result of growing up in a more urbanized society where a kid's childhood is filled with animals as cartoon characters and mascots and not something you went out and fed in the morning and then hit over the head with a hammer at night just so you

Interesting. I wonder if it's because he doesn't like them himself or if that time was just so terrible that he didn't want to rehash anything about it in depth so he just ignored it completely.

For better or worse, I think III/IV is the most consistently good. It doesn't have an all time favorite song of his on it ("Stop Playing With My Heart" could qualify for the short list though), but it doesn't have the stretches where I either tune out or shake my head in disappointment at either.

Too much ikky talk about the self pleasure.

Ooh, I want to play

Remember when people fucking hated Springsteen's late 80s/early 90s output? The resurgence of that reverb drenched stripped down arena rock sound has to be the biggest critical favorite music surprise of the last five years for me.

Yeah, they're poisonous. But, as far as I know it's the spines and not the actual meat. I think they just chop off the head, cut off the spines and then filet it like any other fish.

If you ever get a chance, lionfish tacos are the way to go. I had some in Akumal on the Caribbean side about four or five years ago. Speared fresh off the reef and then pan fried with no batter and some spices. Amazingly good and a good way to get a few more of those nasty things out of the water.

3 festivals and 8 other dates spread out over two months is more like "limited engagements" than "tour"

Just saw them live a couple nights ago. Fierce live band, even the more mellow songs are done at double time. The drummer may or may not be an octopus, but he's definitely a force of nature.

Remember, no matter who wins or loses, they don't take away the records you like after the show. Award show outrage is the strangest fucking thing in the world.

For people like Beyonce who is allready playing arenas, yeah, it means nothing in that regard. For people like Sturgill Simpson who are going from playing 1,000 to 4,000 seat theaters to playing amphitheaters that seat 15,000 to 30,000, it's a huge deal in regards to earning power.
