I thought so too, but nobody had mentioned it that I could see. So maybe not? Is it too pedestrian to mention? Have all the cool kids moved on? Am I so cool that I don’t even know it? I don’t know what to believe!

There’s the Ford Escapay.

Now that’s what I’m talking about!

When I bought my Roadie, there was another on CL in the area that I really wanted. I think it was a ‘96. Black with woodgrain delete, Impala SS front clip, some sensible modifications to the suspension, relatively low mileage. It looked extremely badass in the ad, but while I think the price was fair, it was more than…

You said it, so I don’t have to.

I live in MN (Twin Cities) and there are various places where signs advocate using a zipper merge. It never happens.

Harp transport. The owner of this van plays the harp and prefers to transport the harp in a vertical orientation. A section of the roof has been removed, allowing the top of the harp to poke up into the modified section.

Mine is in front of the house, right where I parked it.

A competent and knowledgeable helper is invaluable.

I dunno if it’s the biggest cover for a pickup, but it’s pretty large without going into full camper mode. You could easily fit a pope in there.

I suspect that a lot of the impulse to add words to songs comes partly from the simple desire of singers to do these songs too. Adding words to what are originally instrumental songs is called “vocalese” and it’s been around for about as long as jazz has. Jazz is such a referential/conversational genre that it’s…

Came here to make this same correction, but you beat me to it. Jazz pedants of the world unite!

The Midget II caught my eye for sure. If I have learned anything from Gran Turismo, it is that a properly upgraded Midget II can be a remarkably potent vehicle on technical courses against vastly higher-powered opponents.

Welp, time to load up the kiddos in the Roadmaster and go have a little fun.

Not judging at all. I’ll probably buy it too. Where/how did you purchase it? Most of my music comes from Amazon, but the whole album isn’t available to purchase in from US Amazon yet and I didn’t feel like creating a whole new account and spending the conversion markup to buy it from Amazon.co.uk.

He released a new album today:
