Fully behind this.

One of the finest singles ever made. What a fucking record indeed.

lmao

Tolkien: well well well Tolkien: now look who's laughing! Tolkien: hmm hey clive CS Lewis: what Tolkien: remind me, has the archbishop of whatever ever quoted aslan? Lewis: Tolkien: i'm sorry i can't hear you Tolkien: what was that again? Lewis: no Tolkien: ha ha that's what i thought!

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

is it the steady drumbeat of corporate enshittification by an authoritarian-coddling extraction class in a country increasingly too corrupt to function in the public interest? I bet it's that

Hey Marcel @thetolkienist.com, have you seen this? Because if not, you _really_ need to! Was not expecting a certain familiar character to appear.... 😂

Fuck yeah. Seconds 💙

oh hey, ya know what? .. I know more than a few trans people IRL. I care about a few trans people. Trans people have never fucked me over, made my life hard or hurt people i care about. You know who *HAS* done all those things? Rich cunts in poorly fitted suits.

Man, Daredevil Born Again S2 was so good! So cool to have Jessica Jones back 🖤

Last night my wife said she grew up thinking the song "Mellow Yellow" was about the soft drink. I told her I'd always heard that it was about getting high by smoking banana peels. We checked Wikipedia, and...

DAAAAAAAYUM @yeehawtheboys.bsky.social cc: @alt-text.bsky.social

I love this. Seriously, what are the chances?! 💙💜

It's wild how people still try and debate whether Musk's Nazi salute was an actual thing, when the dude has spent the 16 months since just being a balls-out-in-public white supremacist every single damn day.

Ouch 😂

One hundred years ago today, for those of you are keeping score, at a meeting of the English Faculty at Merton College, J.R.R Tolkien and C.S. Lewis met for the first time.

Gina has been pushing VERY hard to bring the Trump style of fascism to Australia. The style that sees the rich get infinitely richer at the expense of the people. Because when you have lots of money, you can buy people to do your dirty work. Gina had put a LOT of money into One Nation.

What a fucking record indeed.

I remember getting really excited to hear this when I brought it on release, having been listening heaps to the Scott 1/2/3/4 albums. Was absolutely not prepared for what I was about to hear 😂

Bob's books are fantastic, can't wait to read the definitive story of The Shadows!

Fuck yeah.

Get along to this gig fellow kiwis, you won't regret it. One of the best live bands you could ever see 😎

Let’s bring back this LOTR vibe…

Great tune. My old band once performed a version of this on Melbourne's Chartbusting 80s TV show... 20 years ago 😮

Hey it's me in my Spartacus costume from omg over 18 months ago. I haven't watched the show so I dunno if I made the cut... but the costume ranked highly on my Things I Hope To Never Wear Again list. Especially the shoes.

As a musician I am apparently supposed to dedicate most of my time to producing short-form video content to appeal to The Algorithm and then pay Meta to push this into people's feeds. This is now the only way to sell music, or so I am informed. Tbh, I would rather stick my genitals in a blender.

Nice work

I hope the NZ Greens are watching the incredible surge in popularity of the UK Greens and taking notes!

Couple about to sign divorce papers… WOMAN: I wish I'd never joined that Star Wars dating app MAN: You were looking for love in Alderaan places WOMAN: And I wish I'd never married a guy addicted to Star Wars puns MAN: It was a wookie mistake WOMAN: Just sign it MAN, SIGNING: May divorce be with you

Everyone being okay with slop is the scariest part. "Several tens of thousands of AI-generated tracks are now delivered to streaming services every day, and a survey last year, commissioned by music platform Deezer, showed that 97 per cent of listeners cannot identify them."

It's pretty wild that Facebook makes us hide links in the replies to avoid algorithmic penalties and Instagram doesn't even allow us to link off-site, and we still use those services...like wtf, why don't we all just walk away until they offer the most basic original functionality of the web?

May 1st is Bandcamp Friday _and_ NZ Music Month. So there's no better time to drop by Bandcamp and check out The Snow Ponies recent singles :)
