WDYLL 2021

more more like wdyll 2002?

[img removed]

that's a battle of the bands at my high school. the rest of my band was in HS, but i was freshmen in college. that's my dad, above, in uniform. we won, and spent all the award money ($300-400?) on alcohol and guitar pedals

20 years later, still cold

still cold, still hot imo <3

very much cold, haha <3

that was one of my only big times out in public in the last year, so i was glad there was a photo to commemorate the occasion!

self portrait
not sure how i ended up looking like this, but not getting my hair cut for a year might be a factor

love all the recent updates! also, hail satan

you: when will lockdown end, I need a haircut

dang, wins, you have a glorious head of hair. pandemic has convinced me not to get haircuts nearly as often as used to, but i doubt it will look *that* good.

it really is glorious, very lovely wins!

ned vs wins hair-off, let's do it! :D

I wouldn’t dare

You can’t put waves and ringlets in the same division anyway

Just cos?

You’re going to have to draw me a map for that one, Big D

Its a sideways one tbh im already leaving it behind me

in a fight between glorious waves and ringlets, we all win

since quar began i have also been neglecting to shave. maybe that's why baby sappho would appear to be laughing at me, idk

William Crump looking very much like a man who has come home.

WmC, how are customers behaving at your bar?

Maskless, aerosolizing all over the place, tipping really badly.

have you the authority to say something?

I suppose I do, but I don't really want to go into the reasons why I haven't. C'est com...com...compliqué.

My beard is trimmed way back from when that pic was taken.

nah I get it, all good.

this definitely isn't a screenshot from instagram.com/karlmalone, but i like my dog hat, i like my paints, i've been feeling terrible and cranky and sad and bitter and angry for the last several weeks, things are still bad, but i'm kinda tipsy, i'm definitely high, and i like my dog hat

and you know what, i love my iron-on brian eno shirt i got for christmas 2019, too

https://i.imgur.com/pVzznA9.jpg

what do y'all want from me, eh?

https://i.imgur.com/O7EUlET.jpg

get away from my door sir, this is the third weekend in a row and i'm tired of it

I want your fucking iron-on Eno shirt.

your madras shirt looks good too, Alfred. you both look good

<3

alfred i also have a falling apart iron-on Pylon shirt, in Good-Very Good+ condition

and you bet i like saying iron-on Pylon out loud as many times as possible

also i realized that i had some soot (??) on my nose after i posted that second photo. i mean, lots of soot around here so

don't see any soot just a sexy guy

I see a sexy guy without a shirt

thanks, WmC

Some neat details in that home...

- Rock wall(?)
- Mounted candle holder (perhaps contains a heart drop)
- Cool hanging lights
- Open staircase implying interesting atypical blueprint
- Space-age hovering metallic top hats; a sign of wealth
- Wood accents

Yeah, I was about to say: PBKR, nice pad.

yeah smart furniture 'n' fixtures

Ha, that's my parents place. We're here taking care of my dad. They converted a 1700s log cabin and added a barn-like addition. Cool mix of old and new.

it's gorgeous. an updated house with 1700s bones is something i dream about.

nice cat as well!

happy 420 y'all

excellent

i've been in the woods since April 16 and I will return May 5. cellular internet is almost non-existent and the wi-fi is unreliable and not to be trusted. it is beautiful here! when i get back i will show you my new paintings and you will be like "..."

i am reading the oxford annotated bible WITH APOCRYPHA, a death in the family (holy shit, Ralph), a couple art books on the de koonings, Women of Abstract Expressionism (holy shit judith godwin). high all the time. i'm in Oshkosh this weekend to literally recharge my batteries and downgrade my personal smell from egregious to regrettable

Lookin' good, KM.

hi, Karl!

luv u, bb

a confluence of discussing athleisure wear, humpty hump, and just noticing that a wdyll thread exists compelled me to post this:

https://i.postimg.cc/xTnk6t9Y/blah.jpg

oh no are you being given a purple nurple

wait, what's a purple nurple?

(i feel like this is the moment in middle school just before you get dunked in a toilet)

(also, HAI everyone! <3 it's crazy how a 7-day ILX break feels like an eternity to me, but it has been a very good time. i feel very good. i'm also taking this opportunity to go full-on BEARDO, i don't give a fuck! last time i got this far i looked in the mirror and resembled my dad, and it was so fucking weird that i immediately shaved. this time, the mirrors are foggy and hang above compost toilets at 90% capacity. it's not a place to dwell or think. or to shave. so i will pass across that mysterious hair-length border that i ran up against a year ago, this time only knowing it by touch. and by smell. for i am smelly. not today, i just took a shower. but starting tomorrow, and again for a long time, yes, very smelly. lol!

"Key West" was the song of 2020

but yes, i will report in with a full on beard update on May 5! i am downloading some more music for the next ll-day cabin binge.

but also, i must say that Éliane Radigue's "kyema", from trilogie de la mort, has been especially excellent. there's this part about 30 or 40 minutes in where it just dissolves to static noise. hard to explain how good that sounds against the backdrop audio of mostly quiet, occasionally bird-crossed forest noise. but it gets there so gradually that it's no shock at all, in fact it is extremely, even unsettlingly pleasant. and then about 5 to 10 minutes later, it's been transformed back into another drone. i don't think it ever comes back, after that. but very good!

"Key West" was not the song of 2020, let me just take that back. but i fucking love that song

Hah I drove past Cedarburg today and was thinking “hmm I wonder how KM is doing out there”

is that close?! i'm near Omro, now, but my main spot is near the Rubicon. to get there, some might say, you have to "cross the" county line and any number of private property lines, but it's in a beautiful spot! there is a lot of land, there is a guy there that wanders and forages and knows about mushrooms, and he tells me about the medicinal and druggy effects of local plants.

:D

https://i.imgur.com/HMCc6za.jpg

wow, chicago has changed

At last -- wilderness reclaimed it!

Blame glaciers.

is that close?! i'm near Omro, now, but my main spot is near the Rubicon

the one time I went to Rubicon I took I-43 to Cedarberg and went west for 25 miles or so. I think it's about an hour away from me. Omro's around Fond Du Lac but I've never been there. Anyway if you take the long way home and wind up near Sheboygan hit me up, I dunno about mushrooms but we got a nice brewery here. anyway, hope you find what you're looking for out there

Karl, stop posting photos before I start crushing on you.

Or maybe that's your intention?

The ILX is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter I-4 producing 201 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque. This engine drives the front wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. In MotorTrend testing, the ILX reached 60 mph in 6.4 seconds.

missed opportunity for "reached 51 mph in 7.7 seconds" but your picture is great.

chilling w some llamas & a one-eyed zdonkey on block island tbh

I don't check this thread often enough but what a treat to see ilx legend Johnny crunch

hard agree

"tbh"

Why, should we normally expect people to lie about which New England island they're chilling at? Is "a one-eyed zdonkey" a former ilxor?

because you should never trust what an ilxor says

"Wait a minute... that's Martha's Vineyard! I've been had!"

heres a better shot of the majestic zeedonk, she deserves to be seen

i shaved my pr beardo after that, and added other things to the painting. they're wip, but mostly done, in the way that i feel like i'm zach_tbd right now tbh. ;D moving into my new studio this week and it feels really good. bleeeeeaeh! :D

btw, no joke, that was the first new clean white t-shift i had worn in worn in like TEN YEARS! i know that's gross, but it's pretty much true. there may have been a clean t-shirt or two somewhere 8-9 years ago. but i went to Target and bought a nice FRESH t-shirt for this trip, and it made all the difference. thank you so much!

do you estimate a shirt as no longer being "new" after one wash?

yes!

out of the package. the cellophane was clear and smelled of nothing!

Great studio! Would swap lifestyles.

i think i would have killed myself without her, for real. she kept me going outside three times a day for a terrible summer, the worst one, a few years ago. Bird may not really know how to behave around other dogs and it always take her about 10 minutes to chill around strangers, but her emotional IQ is off the charts. i can't count the number of times she was there at just the right time. of course, she's always there because Bird rules, but I mean especially there. Bird is the MVP of August 2021

damn zach tbd with the mvp of being the down of 2021, sorry

i love bird

as bird's official spokesperson, i can confirm that she responds like this, phonetically:

oh, neat! what does it sound like?

There were five or six of these all giving off a different drone, in a fairly large space, so there were definite sweet spots when the frequencies peaked together. Sounded cool!

https://i.imgur.com/ormMkWN.jpg

here's my update

it says i have a skinny dick and fuck you alaska on it

That's pretty close to where I used to live!

did you make the shirt? seems like a cool scene up there

my favorite part is that it says FUCK YOU in all caps, which is something i promised a legendary ilxor i would never do again. but i mean, if i'm just quoting an artistic object that says it, i think that's allowed

Sadly, I did not make the shirt. Skinny Dick's has been around forever, so the shirt probably existed long before I moved to Fairbanks.

I've never actually been there; it's just far enough out of town that there's no good reason to go there unless you live out of town. But it's nice to see Fairbanks represented on the board.

KARL, I HAVE THAT SHIRT TOO.

But mine has a slightly different design, and is white ink on a black shirt. I found it in a free box in 2016.

And yeah, mine doesn't have the FUCK YOU on it. But it has the rest of the information about Skinny Dick's and the polar bears fucking. People stop me on the street to take pictures of it lol

the FUCK YOU makes it a collector's item, i believe ;)

that's awesome though! i love ilx, just the fact that two different people either have lived nearby or even have the shirt. :)

User Yerac and I somehow have the same polyester vintage scarf, which we just realized a few months ago on zoom.

But yes the coincidence are delightful!
