A sunset from my balcony

Pilsen, Chicago, Illinois, United States

8:05PM, May 12, 2025

Saw this nice sunset a month ago. There were some wildfires in Canada that probably was the reason the sky looked so crazy for a few days. Free beauty!

I was chillin on some bleachers and bro pulled up on me. We looked at each other for a few minutes until they pooped and flew away. Majestic. I like the rorschach esque design on its chest.

"I met the well-dressed USPS worker posted up outside of Woodward Coney on my way home from Detroit City Council Tuesday. His bucket hat and USPS tie, pin covered quilted bomber jacket and perfectly fitting trousers stopped me in my tracks." "Probably the best photo I’ve taken so far."

- Sam Robinson, Detroit⁩, ⁨Michigan⁩, ⁨United States⁩, March 20 and April 30, 2025.

"While returning home from a Detroit City Council session this week, journalist Sam Robinson noticed mailman Mike Copeland posting outside of the Woodward Coney Island smoking a cigarette.

Mike Copeland is from the Westside of Detroit and has been delivering mail in Detroit for 45 years! His bomber jacket is covered in USPS pins, certifying his years of service and pins honoring Black American luminaries like Paul Robeson, Madam CJ Walker, and Jackie Robinson, among others."

Cover Art and Liner Notes

Debut

Jean-Baptiste Mondino for Björk

1993

Transcription and translation:

"First of all: Intimate respect to Nellee - a man with a view. Thanks to Graham Massey for supernatural support. Big applause to Dom T & Marius de Vries for creative input in the studio.

Love to you all: Jóka, Andrea, Mom, Dad (my whole family!) The Sugarcubes, Ási, Keli, Daníel Hall, Moggo V, R & S and Pít and the All-Time Trippers* (Thanks to Eiríkur, Einar, Snorri, Jón).

Thanks for faith in me: Derek Netty Kristina Claire Niki basically all OLI (One Little Indian [now One Little Independent]) staff, Paul Olivier, Elekstra but most chunks of love & thanks to Dom & Sindri for inspiration, endless suggestions & understanding."

*The original source of the liner notes graphic was probably sourced from a CD I can't find, meaning I decided to use a stand-in bar code.

*The price of ¥4,800 would be around ¥5,280 today which is roughly $37.

*Icelandic artists from the '90s (especially those around The Sugarcubes, Smekkleysa, etc.) loved mixing Icelandic and English together. "The All-Time Trippers" is either an example of that or a mistranslation.
