This Early James album from last year is still so good. I haven’t played it in a while and listening to it now, it feels new all over again.

My hand is all cramped up from drawing, but I finished my weekend goal of 100 frames. #animation These are modeled on my mother’s hands.

In motion through the streets.

I planned to put this out on Monday,but I changed my mind Here's to my 70th Review🥂🎉🛍 inbetweenersblog19932021.wordpress.com/2026/07/02/s...

My goal is to sketch 100 frames before the end of the weekend. Here are the first 20. #animation

Now listening to Annahstasia, Live at Glasshaus, released in March- stunning. What a voice.

I’m really happy to contribute to #FeatureFriday along with @eveyweveydevey.bsky.social @florgoth.bsky.social @aishamcnamara.bsky.social @etherdiver.bsky.social and brought to you by @untidymusic.com. Here’s what we all had to say about the album:

“Every word that is spoken and sung here represents at least this one thing: that this humiliating age has not succeeded in winning our respect.” - Hugo Ball

It's #FeatureFriday and I'm now part of the crew, along with @untidymusic.com @florgoth.bsky.social @aishamcnamara.bsky.social @eveyweveydevey.bsky.social @eeeeaaaa.bsky.social @randomdeadbird.satan.social. This week, we listen to @foreversean.bsky.social's The World is Not Good Enough!

Sometimes, little books are capable of big things—this one has somehow begun shifting my perception of the shape of what a novel has to be. Chantal James (@chantalalive.blacksky.app) is a gifted writer, with a voice that demands to be heard by the sheer force of the proximity to her own greatness.

I’ve had the tremendous experience of being in the audience for one of Michael’s virtual shows and I think about it to this day. Michael is a powerful storyteller and his personal narrative is both difficult and incredibly impactful. It’s well worth your time to see how healing can happen.

I share so other survivors don't feel so alone. I share so my fellow survivors can see that healing is possible. Join me when I share my story 7/18 on Zoom.

12 albums I listened to last week: some good new and recent releases, plus I really enjoyed revisiting the Water From Your Eyes album from a few years ago.

This is one of my favorite tracks on the album, and I love the animation @foreversean.bsky.social made to go with it:

It’s back again #featurefriday with eeeeaaaa.bsky.social 's first pick with The World Is Not Good Enough by Sean Solomon(@foreversean.bsky.social) seansolomon.bandcamp.com/album/the-wo...

For this week's #featurefriday we present you @eeeeaaaa.bsky.social 's first pick and let me tell you she swung it out the park with this one. Heartwrenching beautiful Indie Folk.

Happy #FeatureFriday, folks! This is the day of the week, where we grab an album from a BlueSky artist's discography, dust it off and present it to you. This week, you are getting an extra dose of emotional honesty: "The World Is Not Good Enough" by @foreversean.bsky.social!

I got to pick this week’s #FeatureFriday, and I chose The World is Not Good Enough by Sean Solomon (@foreversean.bsky.social). It’s sad and prettty, but also really catchy. Plus, he’s made his own drawings and animations for each song. I’m kind of obsessed.

The movie Hair (1979) is wild. I put it on knowing only that was a musical about hippies. What I saw was shocking (and outright offensive at moments). Twyla Tharp’s choreography is spectacular. I think I liked it?

Very cool radio broadcast of @thebeths.bsky.social

Just one week to go - 2x solo guitars by Beate Reiermann and myself at lovely Central Garden, Vienna. Nice and cool on the canal. www.facebook.com/events/1044414821889450 Come hear! #livemusik #wien #konzert #gitarre #centralgarden

This track is great. I’m looking forward to hearing the whole album when it comes out.

The decade of your thirties is the sophomore year of life.

Oh, I like this so much.

So far today, spouse and I have seen a deer + fawn, a box turtle and a one-ish-year-old black bear, and it’s barely 8am. I love living in the woods.

I recommend listening to this new album by Tasha if you need a little peace and light today. You are Spring! is indie folk that feels like sunbeams on water.

This is a very cool topic, and now I really want to make a hologram.

I completely missed the anniversary, but just over a year ago I released my first album as Mentat, Solar System. If you fancy taking a musical journey through our celestial neighbours, here it is.

Partial Views - an album I'm really proud of - get it on vinyl or digital here: youngweather.bandcamp.com/album/partia...

"This stunner unfolds like 100 years of home video footage that were shot by the family ghosts." - Indiewire www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo... #FilmSky

I’ve been thinking about this movie for weeks since I watched it. It’s non linear with frequent shifts in plot-line and perspective: rites, passages and above all– death. It’s striking, sad, and beautiful.

Elizabeth Bishop, for me the greatest poet, published around 100 poems in her lifetime. Always driven by her own vision, she spent 20 years writing "The Moose". Here, Bishop reads her poem "The Fish" ... youtu.be/bnkD_m3rhn8

Listening to this again, and man, does it go well with hot weather. You can practically hear those wavy heat lines coming off of it.

I had to reduce the image quality to get it to upload, but I still like this little animated sketch for today. It moves slowly and makes you slow down to see it.

Listening to the new Parallel Thought album. This is really good instrumental hip hop.

Listening to this now. It’s been growing on me as it goes. Once you lock in to what this album’s doing, it hits hard. Recommended listening.

This Willow Avalon album is really fun. Some good new country this year so far.

Saw and loved this earlier this week : bsky.app/profile/razz...
