This brief highlights a psychosocial mechanism by which travel experiences may bolster resilience, suggesting implications for mental health professionals in understanding how environmental enrichment and social connectivity support well-being. The focus on positive travel aspects—novelty, physical activity, and social engagement—offers a concise example of how lifestyle exposures can align with client goals for mood regulation and stress recovery. The material lends itself to discussions with clients about purposeful, restorative activities that enhance balance and adaptive functioning, while also noting potential risks when experiences are stressful or unsafe.

2021 Italy RSD reissue
Pink vinyl

Crude, immature and hilarious pub-punk that come off more like Saturday Night Live sketches from the late #70s .

It’s all very tongue-in-cheek, chaotic and ridiculous, but it’s still a freaking good time.

It’s the same kind of wink-and-a-nudge that the Monks album Bad Habits gives.

“Just have fun and don’t take the following too seriously.”

The true gem here for me is “I Fell In Love With A Female Plumber From Harlesden NW10”.

Beyond stellar.

Meeting planners routinely define a creative event as novel decor/venues/food & beverage. We are biased against truly creative event design.

Interesting #novelty #coin of the day: This piece has a #Plague doctor on one side - this was a volunteer or an actual doctor, though the duty was often more to record accurate numbers of deaths than curing people (though some charged promising cures). Although often a #caricature, beaked masks like this have been dated to the 1700s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_doctor Wearing a modern medical coat & stethoscope (invented in 1816).

The other side has a #clock at 8:55 (Does anyone know a potential reason for that?) with the dates 1347-1351 in the centre - that was the rough years of the #Black #Death in Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death

I can't read the text above the centre?

The piece itself is an Equilateral curve heptagon (7-sided), about 25mm diameter, similar to a 1991-1994 Jamaica 25 cents: https://en.numista.com/6476 & about 3mm thick.

I'll tag #Histodons since the theme is historical, though the piece isn't.

BOBBY “BORIS” PICKETT AND THE CRYPT-KICKERS
Monster Mash
1962 U.S. 7” single [styrene]

Halloween in April for last spin of the night. 🪦 🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦
🦇 🦇 🦇 💀 ☠️ 👹

I forgot I bought a handful of 7” singles last week and I’m just getting to them now.

I saw this and got absolutely giddy.

Who doesn’t like a little Monster Mash?

A great song from my youth that I have very fond memories of, and I still adore to this day.
Added bonus that it has the picture sleeve and both it AND the record are in great shape!

With the great Leon Russell on piano!
