What kinds of crosswords does ye mum like? There’s an excellent app for the daily NYT crossword, if she likes those. Not sure if there’s an easy way to print them out though. My mum was a fan of the ones in the Globe until the dudes who made it all died and they got new younger editors who do too much recent pop culture stuff she doesn’t know — so she orders old books of the one of the dead guy’s old puzzles and is very happy.
I’m pretty sure there are paper crossword magazine/books you can subscribe to too. I’ve sold a bunch of the Sodoku version on eBay. Which would be a good place to stock up, I bet.
I've been more obsessed with The Veldt than ever over the past year. The Afrodisiac album sounds better now than it did in 1994 and the new music they've released in the past 5 years have been wonderful. I never saw them much back in the day and I'm glad they are still around and making music.
I will check em out! I had forgotten all about them. Time to give them a re-listen. I had no idea they're from around here. Maybe they'll play soon when all of this is over.
The Veldt also live in your neck of the woods and I think you should become friends with them so Bill can live vicariously through you, because he really does love them.
I <3 the bounty bear.
Also, Mugshots jukebox, RIP.
Oh god, that's a good one. I will miss that place so much.

Has to be paper. If you ever come across any old ones, send em along? I just ordered a random batch on Amazon but.. Who knows if those will work.
The Madonna cover made me think of this recent cover of Dress Me Up by The Veldt.
