There are a lot of songs in my paylist that'll cheer me up, get me to dance, make me happy. But there's one, and only one, that will always make me smile. And it's Kinds Of Love by @pickledarling.bsky.social. It's just so clearly full of love. youtu.be/PvYbQwQbhcM

Personally, the main thing I think artists, musicians, writers, etc need sorted is the same thing most other people need sorted: cost of living.

Kurt would have loved AI slop

""Luxon, Seymour and Peters are proving they would not have been the leaders of this country who chose to stand against apartheid South Africa," she said." I mean, we kinda know for a fact Peters supported the apartheid tour.

Israel is about to do war crimes, including against NZ nationals, and I haven't seen a single NZ outlet livestreaming this. If they can somehow do a Charlie Kirk livestream, on multiple occasions, you'd think this would garner some journalistic attention

Palestine has been hit with more tons of bombs in 2 years than the total of London, Dresden, Hamburg, Hiroshima & Nagasaki in WW2. Now the UK, Australia & Canada decide that while they continue to arm Israel, they will make recognition of Palestine conditional on the victim unilaterally disarming.

the people that take almost two years to condemn the genocide of the Palestinian people will move heaven and earth to save… jimmy kimmel?

if you’re even a tiny bit sad about charlie kirk you’re dumb as hell

doing this with my old albums as soon as I figure out how!!

Hello all! My cat needs a bunch of tests and realistically probably treatment and i do not currently have a job. please help us out and get some cool art in the process!

I'm glad that this has shifted but I'm also never forgiving most journalists in this country for facilitating a pro genocide narrative across the board and widely refusing to throw their bodies on the gears, or even just speak out about what was happening internally to their newsrooms that led to it

"Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Occupied Gaza" That was how 1News introduced the first item today. One day, everyone will have always been against this

Hey, I reviewed the new @pickledarling.bsky.social album for you. www.hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/alb...

1/200 S2E160 - Big Tech, Better Taxes We speak with Kate Stone and Nick Miller from the Better Taxes campaign and Tax Justice Aotearoa about the recent report showing that tech giants are making billions of dollars in NZ and using tax minimising practices. w/ @kyledchurch.bsky.social

I love david byrne, but the millennial-fication of david byrne is doing my head in. how is every single current pop artist claiming him as their biggest influence!

Discovered on my lunchtime walk that a new @pickledarling.bsky.social album somehow snuck out with me noticing (I probably swiped away a Bandcamp email without looking). As ever, excellent and well worthy of your attention.

Loved listening to Pickle Darling play their beautiful songs at Penny Lane - perfection, emotion, transformation. Thanks @pickledarling.bsky.social

nah man you don’t have to pretend to be sad about this one

@themountaingoats.bsky.social can I open for you in NZ???

it has always been the right wingers who are obsessed with identity politics. They go on rants with their outdated ideas of gender, masculinity, ‘NZ values’, etc, though this never gets called identity politics. The tech bros talking about bringing back “masculine energy” etc.

trying to spend more time in Auckland so I can be accepted into the NZ Music Industry but walking around this city hurts my knees

found this record at real groovy that explains the entire drake and kendrick beef

this week someone on the news asked me if I had heard of split enz

My new album BOTS is out today! Watch the visualiser for ‘Earthshaped’ animated by @icyforks.bsky.social

every time someone releases a double or triple album, everyone goes “they should have edited this down to a tight 10 track album!” which is the laziest thing you can say about it. that’s the whole point of a double album!

one of the best album covers ever. an album called tennis where the cover has a tennis ball sun and just heaps of tennis

the idea of a ‘bandcamp’ artist maybe feels very 2015 but I think the best bandcamp artist of today is The Reds Pinks and Purples theredspinksandpurples.bandcamp.com

we all lived just fine without social media twenty years ago, but now some people want us to believe we have to let self-interested companies do whatever they want, regardless of the social harm, because stopping them would mean robbing us of “free speech” and our rights. give me a fucking break.

unbelievable album cover

Long story but uh… we had to rename the album. It is now called ‘Bots’. Pre-order it here! pickledarling.lnk.to/bots

✨🫶🫶🫶✨

Preorder on Bandcamp rn and it all goes to @pickledarling.bsky.social! #bandcampfriday

Okay here I am - just some of my recent faves, purchases, or things sitting on my wishlist, starting with this very exciting preorder! Listening to @pickledarling.bsky.social so often is like being wrapped in a blanket and it’s a delight

Can people (especially those more liberal-coded) start understanding how the anti-China stuff is directly tied to US fascism, now? Can we start being a *little* more serious (and skeptical) about who and where we get China coverage and rhetoric from? Thanks.

my 4th album Battlebots is out on September 5 :) pickledarling.lnk.to/battlebots

i want to drop kick david seymour’s scrawny little head

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
