random excerpts from lord byron’s diaries that feel like tumblr posts from the 1800s
“My mind is a fragment.”
“I am too lazy to shoot myself.”
“Here I am, alone, instead of dining at Lord H.'s, where I was asked—but not inclined to go any where. Hobhouse says I am growing a ‘loup garou,’ a solitary hobgoblin. True.”
“Sleepy, and must go to bed.”
“Whether ‘Hell will be paved with’ those ‘good intentions,’ I know not.”
“Got up—redde the Morning Post containing [..] a paragraph on me as long as my pedigree, and vituperative, as usual.”
“I wonder what the devil is the matter with me! I can do nothing, and fortunately there is nothing to do.”
“Last night, party at Lansdowne House. Tonight, party at Lady Charlotte Greville's—deplorable waste of time, and something of temper. Nothing imparted—nothing acquired—talking without ideas:—if any thing like thought in my mind, it was not on the subjects on which we were gabbling. Heigho!—and in this way half London pass what is called life. Tomorrow there is Lady Heathcote's—shall I go? yes—to punish myself for not having a pursuit.”
“What a strange thing is the propagation of life! A bubble of Seed which may be spilt in a whore’s lap – or in the orgasm of a voluptuous dream – might (for aught we know) have formed a Caesar or a Buonaparte.”
“Oh that face!—by te, Diva potens Cypri, I would, to be beloved by that woman, build and burn another Troy.”
“I have found increasing upon me (without sufficient cause at times) the depression of Spirits (with few intervals), which I have some reason to believe constitutional or inherited.”
“I shall soon be six-and-twenty (January 22d., 1814). Is there any thing in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?”
“Past events have unnerved me; and all I can now do is to make life an amusement, and look on while others play. After all, even the highest game of crowns and sceptres, what is it?”
“Redde a little—wrote notes and letters, and am alone, which Locke says is bad company. ‘Be not solitary, be not idle.’—Um!—the idleness is troublesome; but I can't see so much to regret in the solitude. The more I see of men, the less I like them. If I could but say so of women too, all would be well. Why can't I? I am now six-and-twenty; my passions have had enough to cool them; my affections more than enough to wither them,—and yet—and yet—always yet and but—‘Excellent well, you are a fishmonger—get thee to a nunnery.’—‘They fool me to the top of my bent.’” (Quotations from Hamlet)
“I wish I could settle to reading again,—my life is monotonous, and yet desultory. I take up books, and fling them down again. I began a comedy, and burnt it because the scene ran into reality;—a novel, for the same reason. In rhyme, I can keep more away from facts; but the thought always runs through, through ... yes, yes, through. I have had a letter from Lady Melbourne—the best friend I ever had in my life, and the cleverest of women.”
“As to opinions, I don't think politics worth an opinion.”
“Tells Dallas that my rhymes are very popular in the United States. These are the first tidings that have ever sounded like Fame to my ears—to be redde on the banks of the Ohio!”
“This journal is a relief. When I am tired—as I generally am—out comes this, and down goes every thing. But I can't read it over; and God knows what contradictions it may contain. If I am sincere with myself (but I fear one lies more to one's self than to any one else), every page should confute, refute, and utterly abjure its predecessor.”
“Mr. Murray has offered me one thousand guineas for The Giaour and The Bride of Abydos. I won't—it is too much, though I am strongly tempted, merely for the say of it. No bad price for a fortnight's (a week each) what?—the gods know—it was intended to be called poetry.”
“I will not be the slave of any appetite. If I do err, it shall be my heart, at least, that heralds the way. Oh, my head—how it aches?—the horrors of digestion! I wonder how Buonaparte's dinner agrees with him?”
“If I had to live over again, I do not Know what I would change in my life, unless it were for not to have lived at all. All history and experience, and the rest, teaches us that the good and evil are pretty equally balanced in this existence, and that what is most to be desired is an easy passage out of it. What can it give us but years? and those have little of good but their ending.”

Pallimnarchus and Paludirex: A History of the Swamp Kings
This is only part one of a two part series, ecology and anatomy will be discussed in part 2 because theres just too much history to cover.
Paludirex is a fascinating genus with a complex history. You see, while it was only named 3 years ago, it actually serves as a direct successor to the first fossil croc to have been described from Australia, all the way back in 1886.
Back then, a certain Charles Walter De Vis discovered a multitude of croc fossils in Queensland, specifically the Darling Downs region. Now with all due respect, while De Vis was definitely an important researcher...some of his work doesn't really hold up. In the case of these specific fossil remains, we now know that the fossils belonged to multiple specimens and at least THREE different species. De Vis also straight up admitted that he was not very familiar with Cenozoic crocodiles, which is why he didn't name it....well, sorta. De Vis did in fact not describe a new genus that much is true, however, he did give the material the name Pallimnarchus pollens. De Vis explains that he did so out of convenience and to some degree its understandable. It's always easier to refer to an animal by name than the specimen number, like the Darling Downs Taxon we'll discuss in part 2. But by making it sound like a proper scientific name, De Vis kinda set things up to get messy later.
Charles Walter De Vis (left), multiple fossils originally attributed to Pallimnarchus including those now attributed to Quinkana in B (right)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sure De Vis only meant for Pallimnarchus to be an unofficial name, but subsequent authors didn't exactly bother ammending that fact. Instead, more and more research was published referring material of Australian crocodiles to Pallimnarchus without further question. This largely went unchecked until 1982, when famed Australian paleontologist Ralph Molnar chimed in. Molnar recognized the issues with Pallimnarchus and, in an effort to clear things up, decided to do what should have been done long ago. He picked out the best fossil of De Vis' collection, a lower jaw, designated it as the lectotype and described it in full to establish how it differed from other crocs of the region. Sadly, Molnar was a couple of years too early. In 1982, there were only four crocs to compare it to. The Saltwater Crocodile, the Freshwater Crocodile, the New Guinea Crocodile and Quinkana. What Molnar couldn't have known is that only 8 years later, the fossil record of Australian crocs would change forever with a sudden boom of research describing a plethora of new forms, the Mekosuchinae. So while Molnar's comparisson was adequate for the time, it soon turned out to just not be enough.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aside from scientists naming a metric shit ton of other crocodiles from the continent, three other important things happened during the 80s and 90s. Firstly, we finally found more good Pallimnarchus fossils. Remember, the De Vis fossils were largely a collection of random, unrelated fossils, the lectotype a partial lower jaw and the only good cranial fossil was the Lansdowne Snout, which people constantly argued over whether or not it was Pallimnarchus or simply a salty. But now we got two pretty great fossils. There is the Mirani Shire Skull, certainly the lesser of the two because someone encased the entire top half in concrete (thanks for that). And then there's the Dalby Specimen, better known as Geoff Vincent's Skull, an incredibly informative collection of skull fragments of a single individual and probably one of the best fossil of this animal.
The second major thing to happen is that in 1997, Molnar teamed up with Paul Willis, who basically had a hand in nearly every described mekosuchine, and once again reevaluated Pallimnarchus. The main takeaway of their work was that they now recognized a second species which they dubbed Pallimnarchus gracilis.
And then there's the third thing. The lectotype was lost and only a small fragment was ever found again. Things were not looking good.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
More and more mekosuchines were described in the 2000s, yet things went mostly quiet around Pallimnarchus. The redescription insufficient, the lectotype lost, it had essentially landed in taxonomic limbo with no clue whether or not the name itself was actually valid.
Enter Jorgo Ristevski. Somewhat of a rising star in Australian fossil croc research, Ristevski and several other authors (including Molnar) published a paper meant to finally deal with the issue of Pallimnarchus. Their conclusion, well, sadly Pallimnarchus is a nomen dubium. It's not really a shock given that none of the previous papers ever established any actually unique traits and no such traits could be found in what little remains of the lectotype, but it was an important step none the less. So what now, this historically important genus with countless of referred specimens is no more. Well, thank fuck we got Geoff Vincent's skull.
Yes, with how well preserve that fossil is, Ristevski and colleagues managed to use it to establish a new genus that was meant to serve as a successor to Pallimnarchus, effectively meant to house the material previously assigned to the dubious genus. To honour the legacy of Pallimnarchus, they named this new genus Paludirex, both names translating to "swamp king". Of course with so much material, it was hard to evaluate everything. But there's some key finds. In addition to the Geoff Vincent's skull, both an isolated snout fragment and the Mirani Shire skull could be attributed to Paludirex vincenti, the new type species. Ristevski also confirmed the validity of Pallimnarchus gracilis (now Paludirex gracilis), tho restricting it to two fossils found in the Riversleigh WHA. Furthermore, earlier this year Ristevski was also able to confirm that the Lansdowne Snout belonged to Paludirex as well.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
That does still leave a lot of material of course. Since Pallimnarchus was defined based on its lower jaw, and Paludirex has no lower jaw material to speak of, we can't actually confirm if any of the former Pallimnarchus mandibles are referrable to Paludirex. This lack of overlap also creates the fascinating hypothetical that, should we rediscover the lectotype and lower jaw material associated with Paludirex material, then it may be possible that the two become synonyms once more....or that we had two animals on our hands all along. But first we would need to find more material and that may still take a while.

Listed: J. Lansdowne
Tumblr media
Jack Lansdowne’s self-titled debut solo album arrived at Dusted via a Facebook message, but its smokin’ psychedelic blues rock won us over before we’d had a chance to learn the slightest thing about the author. Via email, he tells that he grew up in Georgia and now lives in Atlanta, where he’s played bass and guitar in several local outfits. He currently plays bass in Death Panels with Arjun Kulharya on guitar and Michael Pierce on drums.
His solo project started as a barebones affair, with Lansdowne recording all the instruments onto a Tascam 488 MKII. The album he sent us is a slightly more formal effort, recorded over two days in Memphis with Andrew McCalla, but still straight to tape on a Tascam 388 and mostly in first takes. Ben Bauermeister played drums. Jennifer Kelly liked it a lot, and wrote, “J. Lansdowne lives in Atlanta and has so far mostly avoided the internet spotlight, but nonetheless has a scorching, slouching way with a blues guitar. His self-titled, self-released album drones and smolders, sitting right in a pocket you didn’t know about between ZZ Top and the Wooden Shjips.” Here are some of Jack’s favorite things.
Junior Kimbrough — “I Gotta Try You Girl”
youtube
Junior Kimbrough was a hill country blues singer and guitarist with a highly original style. From what I understand he mostly played at juke joints and house parties in and around his hometown of Holly Springs, Mississippi for most of his life. Junior didn’t tour or release any albums until gaining some recognition in the 1990s. The groove on this song is so killer. It just stays on one chord and has this smoked out, modal, trance-like quality. Iggy Pop was a fan and actually took Junior out on tour.
Mississippi Fred McDowell — “Shake ’Em On Down”
youtube
Fred McDowell was from a generation before Junior Kimbrough and also played in the hill country style. While he did put out records with a band backing him up, I prefer his solo recordings like this one. This clip, with the close-up shots of his right-hand action, is priceless. Mind-blowing amounts of rhythm from one guy on a guitar.
Jorge Ben — “Ponta de Lança Africano (Umbabarauma)”
youtube
This is the opening track off of Jorge’s excellent samba funk album África Brasil. Check out the breakdowns where everything drops out except the drums and percussion, then the handclaps come in along with call and response vocals. Killer. The whole album is great, but this is my favorite track. Apparently Rod Stewart acknowledges that he ripped off “Taj Mahal”, another track from the same album, when he wrote “Do ya think I’m Sexy?” They even went to court over it. Anyway, this album and song really prompted me to start digging into Brazilian music.
Les Rallizes Dénudés — “Enter the Mirror”
youtube
If you like guitar damage and you don’t already know what this is, then you are in for a treat. My favorite track of theirs. R.I.P. Mizutani.
Cosmic Invention — “Baby Callin’ Me Home”
youtube
This Japanese group was active in the 1990s and included members of White Heaven and Ghost. Drag City reissued their sole album on vinyl in 2018 and I’m surprised it doesn’t get more recognition. This song is actually a Steve Miller Band cover of all things. I really dig Michio Kurihara’s guitar playing in general, and this track is one of my favorite performances of his.
Bohannon — “Trying to be Slick”
youtube
Bohannon was a drummer and singer from my home state of Georgia. He did time as a touring musician for Motown artists and played with all sorts of huge names before starting his own recording career. It absolutely blows my mind that he doesn’t get talked about more. Motoric funk vamps that will put you in the zone. This deep cut from side 2 of his album Dance Your Ass Off has a tasty flute solo.
Bohannon — “Let’s Start the Dance”
youtube
A double-shot of Bohannon ’cause it’s just that good. This track is the biggest hit he ever had. The disco influence in his music was pretty steep at this point, but if this doesn’t make you want to party then I can't help you. R.I.P. Bohannon.
Deep Purple — “Flight of the Rat”
youtube
I grew up on classic rock FM radio, so I was familiar with Deep Purple’s hits but never really sought out other music from them. About 5 years ago I got turned on to the Deep Purple In Rock album (which contains none of their hits) and could hardly believe how good it was. It’s their first album after they decided to be a hard rock band (hence the title) as opposed to the orchestral rock thing they were doing before. Everyone on this record is playing their ass off. The swagger is off the charts. On this track things really get cooking around the 3-minute mark when they go off on this extended bridge where everyone is throwing out solos and it culminates in this awesome wah-wah guitar and drum break.
High Rise — “Sadame”
youtube
Mind melting free biker rock shred. This version is from their live album and Munehiro Narita’s guitar playing is completely bonkers. One of the heaviest bands of all time in my opinion.
High Speed and the Afflicted Man — Get Stoned EZ
youtube
It seems like the adjective “fried” is almost always used to describe this album. I honestly have to agree. It might even be the most fried. I used to listen to this during long-distance runs — highly recommended!

Leviticus 16:29-18:30, Mark 7:24-8:10, Psalms 41:1-13, Proverbs 10:15-16
Today is the 25th day of February welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I am and Brian it's great to be here with you today, taking the next step forward on the journey that we are on, which is the journey through the Bible in a year of life, a journey through a year together. And, so, let’s dive in, take that next step forward. We’re reading from the New Living Translation this week. We’ll move ourselves back into the book of Leviticus. Today chapter 16 verse 29 through 18 verse 30.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for bringing us this far into the year, and this far into the Scriptures. And we…we have gloried in it many times and we will many, many more times because Your word becomes a lamp to our feet and a light to our paths. It becomes a mirror into our souls. It actually does ask the deeper questions about why we’re doing the things that we’re doing, and what motivates that. We are grateful for that. We are grateful for the gospels. It feels like…it feels like we get to walk alongside You, Jesus, as You do ministry, and we get to know Your personality and we get to know the things that You care about. And this is so important because this is the goal, is that we become like You. This is…this is what we’re after, is to become Christlike and but we notice in You is perfection certainly. And certainly, we know in our own strength there is no perfection, but we’re just simply watching You, the first sinless person on planet earth since Adam and Eve. We’re watching You live. And what it reveals to us is what it's supposed to look like for us, that the things that You are doing are the things that are supposed to be normal. And, so, we watch You living true and watch You taking command and we watch Your compassion, we watch Your kindness, and we see how far we fall short of that. And, so, Holy Spirit come, lead us deeper into Jesus, that it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives within us. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Announcements:

Prospect Hill has been a band since 2005 and have toured extensively through the US. The band signed a deal in 2012 with Carved Records (Texas Hippie Coalition, Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown) after their album Impact charted #1 at Billboard for Boston Album Sales and multiple Heatseeker Territories . Their single “ Come Alive ” (which was picked up early by SiriusXM Octane ) expected to break at Active Rock in the Top 5 with a full radio team behind it. Unfortunately, the label dropped the radio team and the single went to radio with no money or personnel support leaving it to do its thing organically. Due to the band's extensive touring and relationship building, many stations across the country added the single to rotation and the song organically climbed to #42 on the Active Rock Charts . Since the label didn't hold up their end of the deal, the band was able to pull out of the deal and go back to being independent. With a stunted single and a frustrated team, the band headed back out on the road for another two years only to come home, take a break, and limit their touring to a few dates a year and limited releases. This new single “ Celebrate ” is the culmination of that down time, frustration, and eagerness to get the engine reignited. The band is currently writing for a new EP and will plan to tour once the pandemic is over.
youtube
The Massachusetts band's new single “Celebrate” was created in collaboration between Prospect Hill, writer/ producer Shaun Lichtenstein (Pop Evil, Lansdowne) , and writer Producer Jim Foster (P.O.D, Nullset) . Prospect Hill drummer Roberge was inspired to author the lyrics based on his opinion of what the world looks like through the lens of social media. The lyrics paint a picture of the vanity and the over politically charged platform that we have all grown to participate in - in one way or another. However, with everyone showing their differences of opinion and social stature, it only reveals how much we are all the same; death will come for all of us one day and that we should all take social media with a grain of salt and continue to live happy, 'celebrated' lives. Musically, the band wanted to honor the grunge and rock sounds they all grew up on; taking influence from Nirvana, Deftones, and the like, as well as incorporating the staples of their sound that their fans have grown to love them for. Prospect Hill feels that in these uncertain times of the pandemic, this song has never been more relevant as the increased activity on social media platforms shines an even bigger spotlight on the way we interact with one another in the digital world. Being able to step back from the noise and be happy. “Celebrate" is more important than ever and the band hopes their existing fans (and new fans to come) will find that message in the track. The song was recorded and produced by OH NO! ØKTAPUS & Doc. D and Mixed and Mastered by Shaun Lichtenstein @ Red 13 Studios in Framingham, MA. Download/Stream "Celebrate"
