"Revolutionary Paris" had me thinking about this entirely the wrong way.

Good thing he didn't throw his drinking problem overboard instead.

Ganong makes Chicken Bones, which are a cinnamon candy. They're mostly chocolate, though: Pal-o-Mine chocolate bars, Delecto Peanut Clusters, and they're introducing a new one they bought out from an American manufacture: Sixlets, which look like chocolate M&M's from the pictures and their website.

Prana makes a bunch of nut snacks like salted cashews and almonds.

!Traveller@ttrpg.network is about the venerable Traveller TTRPG, and is new in the last couple of weeks. It's seeing some activity every few days right now so it might not take much more to get it off the ground.

Feist - 1234 (www.youtube.com)

Previous song opens its lyrics with 4 3, 2, 1, so let's go the other way now. I resisted the urge to post her Sesame Street version.

To Jagger and Richards in particular. They ceded the song-writing credit back to Richard Ashcroft in 2019.

If you haven't heard the song he sampled it from it's pretty blatant (starts from 0:18 and just keeeeeps going). And I'm speaking as someone who loves "Bittersweet Symphony".

The Stranglers sued Elastica over this one, for having its riff be too similar to "No More Heroes". Elastica agreed to credit them as co-writers as part of a settlement.

Made of barracuda jawbone(*) and wrapped in red-dyed barkcloth, this scarifier was used by mourners to draw blood from themselves in honour of a dead chief. You can see the original here along with a second picture and some curator's notes.

(*) The source contradicts itself by saying both barracuda and porpoise -- googling for images suggests it's a barracuda, but I could be wrong.

Nico was a protegé of (D)Andy Warhol...plus Lou Reed has said this song is based on his experiences watching the Bohemian parties at Warhol's studio.

A painted ceramic vessel in the Codex Style. It depicts a wayob', the companion spirit of a Mayan ruler. This one is a toad which is wearing a jade bead necklace (there are two different animals, not visible, located around the back of the cup). There is also writing in Mayan glyphs, some of which declare the vessels purpose: drinking cacao.

The painter is also known by style from other pieces of work, and in the absence of an actual name is referred to as "The Metropolitan Master". You can see the original image and some other details here.
