What I'm listening to today: "La Jet​é​e", Sines of Exquisite Pleasure

I somehow, happily, managed to wedge YouTube in a state this weekend where it recommended me nothing but albums from the early 80s artists self-published on cassette tape. S.O.E.P. was a particularly exciting find from this; their 1981 album "Modular Systems" is *amazing*, but this one serene track from their 1984 tape stands out to me for its retro-invocations of Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Air.

Here's the backstory of why turkeys have become synonymous with Thanksgiving, and the answer lies in my 2 favorite disciplines - History & Marketing. So gather around for Turkey Day history thread.

Wild turkeys have been a protein staple in the northeast for centuries if not millennia. And Thanksgiving, a North Europea tradition, was also followed in some way since the mid 1600s among white folks. Canada has Thanksgiving too, except it's in October.

So what about the turkey marketing then?

fell down the rabbit hole and scanned a label and now I'm trying to font match a betamax label please send help
Look, if you're dealing with VHS tapes that can alter the flow of history just by being watched, the LEAST weird thing you should expect is that sometimes they're beta tapes.
