Few periodicals reflect the post-WW I cultural change in American life as well as Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang. To some people it represented the decline of morality and the flaunting of sexual immodesty; to others it signified an increase in openness. For much of the 1920s, Captain Billy’s was the most prominent comic magazine in America with its mix of racy poetry and naughty jokes and puns, aimed at a small-town audience with pretensions of “sophistication”.

Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang is immortalized in the lyrics to the song “Ya Got Trouble” from Meredith Willson’s The Music Man (1957): “Is there a nicotine stain on his index finger? A dime novel hidden in the corncrib? Is he starting to memorize jokes from Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang?”

The Black Angels | I Hear Colors | Levitation Sessions (2022)

Live in Austin, Texas.

I was up near Brainerd, Minnesota today, and I stopped at a new-to-me meat market on the way home. If you're ever driving through Foley, you gotta stop. There's also a free, eclectic sculpture park across the highway that's very much worth a visit.

Everything I tried was just great, but I only sampled the processed meats. I'll have to bring home some steaks or chops on a future trip. Sure, there might be one or two places I've tried with similar quality and selection, but this ranks among the best in Minnesota to my taste. I mean, just look at that sign!

This weekend's menu will include beef, pork, and nitrates!

Shui Zhu Yu | Szechuan Boiled Fish

Tonight my partner made a sensational Szechuan treat made with fillets of fresh cod, mung bean sprouts, bok choi, scallions, chilis, and lots of málà (麻辣)—that hot and numbing spice so prized in cuisine from Szechuan province. My mouth is still tingling. So good!
