Sparks have some bangers

Outer Worlds 2 is addictive in that Bethesda way.

NoaF needs more contributors. Maybe that could be you? If not, we'd really appreciate a share, or if you fancied passing the link across to someone who might be interested, so we can keep on covering as wide a ground in SFF as we can.

Cool book

Lorde’s new album >>> Taylor Swift’s new album

NGL, pretty floored that “Highway of Love” - the one with me singing - is the most popular song from my last album. I’ve never been 100% comfortable with hearing my own voice so it’s very meaningful to me that people seem to like the song. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 open.spotify.com/track/2zJupU...

Finally got around to reading A Memory Called Empire by @byzantienne.bsky.social. What an incredible space opera novel - going to collect my extended thoughts and share via @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social

Station Eleven is one of the best novels I’ve ever read. Station Eleven is one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen.

Film Review: Elio Disney loves to write orphans, but... @carturo222.bsky.social has the review at the NOAF blog www.nerds-feather.com/2025/06/film...

My band @paastel.bsky.social has a new single out, which I think is our best one yet. Take a listen and let me know what you think: open.spotify.com/track/1KUQ5o...

I’ve made it to F9, the one where they drive muscle cars into space. Send help.

I still have a lurker account on the other site. I’ve noticed - ever since a certain someone had a falling out with another certain someone - liberal and left accounts are no longer being throttled.

Independent of @pheebz.bsky.social 's excellent Andor recaps, our founder and senior editor the G ( @musicbytheg.bsky.social ) discusses Andor and the Reimagining of Star Wars www.nerds-feather.com/2025/06/ando...

My extended thoughts on #Andor and why I think it's the best - and most significant - Star Wars story since the Original Trilogy, via @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social www.nerds-feather.com/2025/06/ando...

Punk rock day. Ramones, Dead Kennedys, Op Ivy

Yeah so Andor S2 is the best Star Wars anything since the OG trilogy

I’ve always wondered by aliens keep anal probing rural Americans. Then I realized: they’re performing colonoscopies for people with poor access to healthcare. It’s pro bono work.

People should get paid for the work they do. So, yes - piracy of books, music, etc. is a form of theft.

Last week 3 songs of mine (“Dreamtime,” “Shadows in the Neon Rain,” “Lights”) all passed 500k streams. Feeling 😎 open.spotify.com/track/2LT8KQ...

Can only imagine how good this show was

Good morning, Bluesky. How’s everyone feeling today?

True story: I’ve met Trent Reznor a bunch of times, always in a (very) non-music context and have never once discussed music with him. Why? Just got the sense that he wanted to be a normie for a while and not talk about work.

Now that I’ve been on Bluesky for a while, I see the same issue that all the other neo-Twitters have had; a lot of surface-level engagement, not enough meaningful interaction. What’s your experience been like?

Thoughts on a few games: Uncharted 4, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Stray, via @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social. www.nerds-feather.com/2025/02/nano...

Finally playing Horizon Zero Dawn. It’s incredible

10% of tracks submitted to Deezer (and presumably all the other digital platforms) is now AI slop. www.musicradar.com/music-indust...

There’s a kid in my neighborhood (Los Angeles) playing “Oh Canada” on the trumpet.

Air is bad again today

Just read the whole Neil Gaiman sexual predator article. If even some of the allegations are true, fuck that guy.

I’m so sad about this. Reel Inn was a charming, lovely place that I went to many times. :( la.eater.com/2025/1/7/243...

These are the worst fires we’ve had year in years, probably since 2017. Winds are on par with category 1 hurricane.

So should I play the remastered PS4 Uncharted games next?

Working on a games roundup for @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social

An idea that needs to die: that you need specific gear to make good music. It ultimately comes down to how you connect, know and work with the tools you have. There is no synth or plugin that will magically make you sound good or solve composition/arrangement issues.

My band with @vandalmoon.bsky.social 😎

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is one of the best licensed games I’ve ever played

So like vocaloid but not fun or charming.

Remixed "Teenage Fever" by The Motion Epic a couple years ago and think it sounds pretty rad (via @newretrowave.bsky.social). www.youtube.com/watch?v=qizd...

Out of curiosity, do any of you still use Twitter?

Woke up to my dog puking everywhere. Poor girl…

Room for one more pedal, either a standard size with top loading I/O or a mini with side loading I/O. What should I get?

Star Wars: Outlaws is an underrated game.
