Excuse me whilst I remove all the Moloko songs from my playlists.

Welp, now I feel like shit.

"NeW mUSiC ISn'T aS goOd As OLd MusIC!!!" No, you've just put old music on a pedestal. There are a thousand new bands out there writing music just as great - if not better - than all of the old ones, you just haven't heard them yet.

Repost if your account is a safe place for the trans community! 🏳️‍⚧️

An open letter to all touring bands and festivals coming to regional Australia: l'm calling on touring acts and festivals to ensure thev are giving back to reaional communities by hiring and correctly promoting local original artists for support slots. #localartist #australianmusic #indiemusic

What do you mean I can't stream Pokemon Go on Twitch from the champagne room?

'Slapstick: or Lonesome No More!' by Kurt Vonnegut changed the way I see the world. A book written purely about the importance of community and how social isolation can wreck people steered me away from what could have been a very lonely life into one full of joy.

Thought I'd try my hand at streaming gaming content again for the first time since Covid lockdowns. Drive across town to start streaming Pokemon Go, 20 minutes into walking it starts to rain. 😅

Hey @scottklopfenstein.com, can I play a little RBF at my gig today?

There is a special place in hell for websites that just say "contact us for a quote!" instead of just putting their prices on the site.

Masturbatory post incoming: Was wondering recently about whether my next phone would be another Fold phone or a typical bar phone. Today I had to send my Fold6 in for a warranty repair & my loaner phone is a Galaxy S22 & how the fuck did I used to live like this?!? Workflow through the floor. 😭😭😭

As announced on my livestream listening party tonight, my new album 'Akrasia' - which releases on all streaming platforms tomorrow - has been made available early on Bandcamp this evening for the low price of AUD$4! TJHollis.bandcamp.com

I don't know what I've done to deserve it, but if @danhausen.bsky.social could un-curse me, that would be super appreciated right now 😅

My Day? Green.

Shitpost Five

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

Just got the designs finished for my new wrestling gear - can't wait to get them made up!!!

Goals for the year: - Release the EP, then record/release at least two more songs - Complete and submit for exhibiting my upcoming contemporary art collection - Wrestle for at least one new company - Get super secret music project happening - Read at least 20 more books from the Horus Heresy

NGL, there are aspects of lockdown I really miss. I got 9 months of being paid to stay home by the government and for the first time in over a decade, all my friends were able to play games online with me! Plus, y'know, there wasn't all this... *gestures around*

Royal Commission into what the fox actually does say.

All I want right now is a game that plays exactly the same as Stardew Valley, has the same art style as Stardew Valley and tasks as Stardew Valley, just with a new story and characters. But still make me fall in love with it in the same way I did with Stardew Valley.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains. (I still maintain that none of those bands had a "perfect album" - the closest was Pearl Jam with 'Yield')

I'm so sick of being in constant pain. I can't afford the dental surgery I need to stop being in pain. If I could, I would lose career opportunities because I'd be missing even more teeth. I can't get strong enough pain meds because asking for them gets you treated like a criminal. I'm so tired.

I guess we're changing Lesnar's name to The Brockmaster now

One joy that I've gotten from watching @tinanarvaezjr.com and @raynarvaezjr.sucks has been that my Xmas tradition is either watching or playing Stardew Valley. It's a small thing, but it brings joy every year. :)

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

Launched a Mekler Family Print Shop, all proceeds go towards rebuilding our house. We will close the shop in two weeks so we have time to fill orders before the holidays. Photos by me in 35mm and 120, by Kirby in 35 and digital. Love you, share with friends, thanks! www.kirbymekler.com/store

Dear internet: It's 'martial law', not "Marshall law".

So I haven't posted about my work in over a month, so here's an update on what's going on (a thread):

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Great day to be a Packers fan. Also, Tucker Kraft hard carrying my fantasy teams this week, lol

So, I used to have a band named 'Rule 34' (named before the meme was a thing). We released an album called 'Kings of the North' about 12 years ago. For some reason, this has picked up a whole bunch of plays on Apple Music in the last week or so. So if you're one of those people listening, say hi!

"Have you tried Suno?" In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story only someone in your profession would understand.

Hot gaming take: If your game doesn't teach me how to play it, your game is bad. I shouldn't have to do homework watching videos to enjoy playing your game for the first time. This is squarely aimed at Rimworld.

Just listened to that ZZ Top song 'La Grange'. Still not sure what it has to do with orbital mechanics...

She wears high heels I wear high heels We all wear high heels It's some kind of law here

Really enjoyed watching @tomgrossi.bsky.social call the game and being able to watch the action at the same time this morning. Hoping YouTube lets this happen more and more this season!

Slept in a Men Without Hats shirt, woke up when I wanted to and left my friends behind.

If there are ten people at a table and one of them is a nazi, either nine people leave or you have ten nazis at the table. Something to think about with these marches planned around Australia tomorrow. Who do you want to sit at the table with? Who do you want to be?

Thanks for the follow @listigeplaylists.bsky.social Friends who like music, you should give them a follow - they constantly introduce people to new music! Hope you enjoy my song 'All The Lights In The Sky Are Stars' open.spotify.com/album/61BSG9...

I released my new single yesterday! If you can afford to spend money on music, it's available on Bandcamp for only $1! tjhollis.bandcamp.com/track/all-th... Chasing a free stream? Hell yeah! It's available on all streaming platforms, but here's the Spotify link: open.spotify.com/album/61BSG9...

Going live in 15 minutes over at FB.com/TJHollisOfficial! Listening party for the new single and playing a bunch of acoustic originals and covers!

I'm done with one-way loyalty.

What gif pops up for your name?

I have new merch. They're my TJ Starr body pillows, but shrunken down and turned into keychains. There is no god to stop me.

Should probably update Bluesky on what I've been doing recently. I announced the release date (August 27) of my next single 'All The Lights In The Sky Are Stars'. I recorded the vocals for another new song today. Oh, and I got to support classic Aussie band The Radiators last weekend. 👍

Jesus, could the #hottest100 have been any more pedestrian?
