Season 2 - “Lucky“ (2026)
Really digging this Melbourne indie rock, post punk band’s new and only album. It’s a blend of jangle-pop and angular guitar driven post-punk. Nice vocal harmonies and the cover art is groovy. .
As the album description on Bandcamp says, it’s for fans of The Feelies, The Vaselines and The Clean. Short tracks are nice, too. Most are under 2min.

Yes, obviously... but the blackout has been kind of an entertaining relief. They should stock with that.

Far From Home
A father’s vanishing memory and echoes of a free Tibet are at the heart of this intimate story of love, family and courage. Rediscovered archives reveal how Tibetan leader TC Tethong and his Canadian wife, Judy, carved a refugee settlement out of the South Indian jungle in the 1960s.
Highly recommended!

I am getting so tired of the word "quietly" and the phrasing "that matters" (or "that [NOUN] matters"].
I'm sure that LLMs are partly to blame, but there's always been a tendency for language to follow fads, and I'll be relieved when these fads burn out.

"An den grünen Armbinden waren die Mitglieder von »Kolonien in der Heimat« zu erkennen. Sie organisierten sich nach den Bezirkssektionen ihres Vereins und kennzeichneten ihre Lagerplätze mit nummerierten Holzpflöcken."

At this point, I'm just scanning posts for the ones that will explain how to customize/undo aspects of Mastodon's 5.0 redesign.

You know, when Twitter changed stars to hearts it was an early sign of the site's slide downhill.
