For anyone who likes The Clique's "Superman" made famous when R.E.M. covered it, the upbeat revision "Supergirl" by @shapeslikepeople.bsky.social is the Friday boost you needed.

Is there anything like the hope of a new generation? One beautiful Eastern Bluebird egg. She'll lay one per day until there are five in most cases and then start incubation. #birding #kansascity

Just saw the video for The Lightning Seeds 'Pure' on 120 Minutes. Reminds me of the crush I had on a girl who worked at the Turtles Records in Augusta, Georgia 35 years ago. We bonded over the band, but she rejected my date offer when I got the cassingle. I was such an idiot. 😏 #music

Seeing UK college-rock icon Robyn Hitchcock play a solo show this afternoon with about 250 people was fantastic. Having him finish the show with a stroll around the venue in a singalong with the crowd to a Beatles song was a treat. The experience won't soon be forgotten. #music #kansascity

I've noticed a pair of Eastern Bluebirds checking out the nestbox over the last few days. Yesterday was first time I've seen the female carry any nesting material, so took a quick photo when both birds were away. Curious on progress I checked again this afternoon. Busy bird! #birding #kansascity

Yellow Grosbeak found yesterday in Arkansas, making it possibly the easternmost occurrence of the species. This is the normal range map. What in the world?! #birding

Totally fulfillng my musical itch this morning is this new gem from @shapeslikepeople.bsky.social. The Rickenbacker is chiming, the harmonies are sweet, and it just works for me. Bonus points for the Close Lobsters t-shirt in the video. #newmusicfriday

My Kansas City home received about 10.6" (27cm) of snow yesterday. In the midst of our blizzard, this beautiful Cooper's Hawk spotted by. #birding

Too many people driving still

Too lazy to alt the pics, but four pics of wrecks around KC metro highways

Kansas City is really slippery now with the ice building. It's going to be a good 36 hours to hunker down, journal, listen to music, and catch-up on delayed chores. #mowx

Was excited to get a Merlin to start the new year, especially since I missed one all of 2024. Not a great digiscope photo. #birding

Remembering the brilliant Benjamin Curtis today. Can't believe it's been 11 years since T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma robbed us.

Needed energy to get Monday going! Early Swervedriver had some of the most melodic, muscular guitars going at the time.

Love browsing a local pottery studio's holiday sale and finding treasures from the talented artists there. #DriftwoodCeramics

Found this old signed Sugarcubes photo in a box while looking for something else. The old radio days...

Love the dreamy feels of this Connor Youngblood track, "Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge," as it fits my Friday morning vibe. He's a great multi-instrumentalist deserving of more exposure. #birding
