As a record label, we are sent so much music, and we almost never listen to it because it’s just not the way we sign artists, but had this one been sent to us I would’ve had to take a really hard look at releasing it.
That cat with the blond hair that appears part way into the clip, I think was a regular
Also, didn’t I watch this back then at 4 in the afternoon (est)?
This shirt can be saved. Even if stain has been set by washing and going through the dryer.
Ways to deal with organic oil stains on washable clothing:
— Pretreat the stain with dishwashing liquid, such as Dawn. Dishwashing liquid contains surfactants that emulsify oil into tiny droplets and lift them from the fibers, allowing them to be washed away in the laundry.
When applying, add a little bit of dish soap — don't go haywire — and then tamp with a brush. Tamping means you tap the cloth a little. This helps get the liquid into the fibers. Alternatively, you can rub the liquid in with your fingers. Don't scrub the surface too aggressively with something like a stiff-wired brush because you can ruin the surface of the fabric.
— You can also pretreat the stain with an enzymatic stain remover. Enzymes break stains apart, so they become smaller, more water‑soluble molecules that can be washed away. However, each type of enzyme is only effective for a specific type of stain. So when you apply a stain remover, you're relying on a mixture of enzymes and hoping something in there will be useful for your situation.
For oil stains, look for enzymatic stain removers that contain lipase, which works well on natural fats and oils, such as those from food. Note that it does not work well with petroleum-based oils, such as what you'd get from working on your car.
Zout's "Laundry Stain Remover" and Dad Mode's "Deep Stain Remover" both have lipase.
— After pre-treating the stain, let it sit for an hour or so, then wash with liquid laundry detergent. You can repeat this process a few times.
— If this doesn't work, soak the garment for a few hours in Oxiclean. This is an oxygen-based bleach that contains sodium percarbonate, which oxidizes organic stain molecules and breaks them apart.
Unlike chlorine bleach, oxygen-based bleaches are safe on colors. It's basically like applying hydrogen peroxide. However, it's not safe on all fibers — fine on cotton, not good on silk. Check the labels before using.
— If the garment is very important to you, it's always best to send the work to a professional. IMO, the two best dry-cleaners in the United States are Rave FabriCARE (in Arizona) and Jeeves NY (in New York). Both companies will take mail-ins. IMO, you should not do anything to the garment before sending it in, as there's a chance you could make the situation worse.
Zachary at Jeeves also runs a great laundry account on Instagram, which you can find at the handle jeeves_ny.
Note that different types of stains require different solutions. The above is only for organic oil-based stains on clothes you can throw into a wet wash. Blood, sweat, and other types of stains will have to be treated differently.
On a dress shirt that I’d washed and dried with an oil stain, I tried this.
Spray WD40 on the stain. Let absorb then on a piece of cardboard, scrub plenty of baking soda into stain to absorb WD40. Treat area with Shout and wash. If needed, repeat the Shout/wash.

Back in time. Can’t really step in the same river twice but your Hudson River book, World’s End, was a fuckin quantum shift.

My guess is that Patel is next to go. He is DOJ’s Lewandowski: jets and partying not popular; lying to Congress not resolved; astounding incompetence.
Gas and oil is up in US. Explain why, when we produce more petrol than we consume and none of it comes to us via Hormuz, American oil corps are charging inflated world prices. Is this war netting big oil, essentially, a windfall on the resources from our own land?
Same took out Sandy Denny. Stairs.
March 24th 2005 - Remembering Rod Price, a founding member of Foghat, he died after falling down a stairway at his home. The 57-year-old guitarist was with the band for three Platinum and eight Gold records, including their highest charting US single, "Slow Ride", which reached #20 in 1976.
He was known as 'The Magician of Slide', 'The Bottle', and 'Slide King of Rock and Roll', due to his proficiency on slide guitar.[
Same, but for an espresso.
Though, my closest encounter was at a restaurant, 3 mob guys “extending the opportunity to have a chat after we finished eating dinner.” Borrowed a sharp steak knife from my table to join that meeting.
Life was grand in those days.
What better way to make that transition from the workday to the evening than either mixing or ordering a martini? At home, it is the first step towards cooking dinner, setting my mise en place of gin, vermouth, bitters and bar tools. Stirring, staining, then a quick toast.
Could have had a wonderful Italian meal with the US Women’s Team champs. #supportwomenssports

Is Snow Removal The Biggest Political Issue in Rhode Island Right Now? btown.buzzsprout.com/163601/…
Stepfather to a pro athlete here, Mickey D is never an option for athletes who take nutrition at the same level of seriousness as their workouts.
This doesn’t appear to be true. Seeing cars parked since before the first snowfall, hampering plowing.
Providence Police officers are deployed across the city supporting snow operations and helping ensure plows can move quickly and safely through every neighborhood.
Our officers are actively enforcing the parking ban, assisting with disabled vehicles, and keeping travel lanes clear so DPW crews can do their work without delays.
You can help by keeping vehicles off the street and avoiding unnecessary travel while cleanup continues.
Here it’s, I Know a Guy.
Meanwhile, we have perfectly durable bins we received several years ago. Isn’t there a less expensive and less wasteful way here? Not to mention the waste impact of binning all the old bins.
Since day one, we’ve worked to make Providence cleaner and greener. Improving how we recycle is a big part of that.
That’s why we’re rolling out brand-new, standardized trash and recycling carts across the city. With clearer labels and smarter design, these carts will help reduce contamination and make recycling simpler and more reliable for residents.
Cart deliveries begin March 16, with tips and updates shared along the way.
