Book was pretty good, even if the second half of the title's promise - the resurrection of Oasis - was covered in literally one page

Saw this radio story pop up in the queue and thought woah, Papa Roach is in the news?

This is not Oasis weather

make a bond movie casual Hamilton Is Not Enough

Facebook served up this memory from 10 years ago. Pretty much the only thing pictured I still have on my desk is the Star Wars tin... that mug is broken, I now use a single huge monitor, the audio interface is very WTF, those pills don't do shit, headphones were all I could afford then...

Pretty sure I'm gonna win this... #civilizationVII

And now for something completely different

Kids learned the hard way that you shouldn't brag about nearly winning Whamageddon on Xmas Eve in front of someone who's already out of the game

Not that it matters, but I seem to have landed on a time travel comedy called 'Future Man'

Finished. Absolute classic. More band books should be like this - focused on the actual music and what inspired it

Second anniversary of the @anecdata.bsky.social album 'A Better Plan B'! anecdata.bandcamp.com/album/a-bett... (excuse the slop cover... It was a different time, and one day I'll redo it!)

Think I managed to save it today by turning it into some kind 6/4 time metal/new wave crossover, which I think might be a genre unto itself

Just got whammed at a local store

old memes i made of star trek with dril quotes thread

Almost finished my current evening binge watch of Mr Mercedes. Gonna need to find a new show - in the past year I've been through Ozark, The Diplomat, all the Alan Partidge shows, Curb Your Enthusiasm... suggestions? I tried Dark but it didn't grab me. Nor did The Expanse for some reason.

Klein, fine; Wolf, oof

I was once in a hospital for a day with low battery. Asked if they had any chargers, and the nurse pulled out about a dozen of them, none of which were USB

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

Not even a quarter the way through this and it's the absolute best rock bio I've ever read

Somehow missed that Cheap Trick put out a new album a few weeks ago - listening now and it sounds exactly as any fan would want

It appears we ARE that drink

School holidays is shouting, 'I can hear axe murdering from downstairs! Put that on my gravestone,' and going to bed knowing it probably won't be on my gravestone

Time to start my feelgood summer read

*waits for 'marvellous' to show up in trending*

Love getting this reminder every year from ol' Zuck

Book I ordered several months ago arrived just in time to be a Xmas present to myself

Not sure I'd be afraid of an armada that's mostly sitting on dry land

I heard two different Freddie Mercury tunes about Christmas today while out shopping, but have yet to be whammed

Don't recommend waiting 27 years to turn an old demo into a proper recording. Spent 2 hours working out the chords and structure only to realise it's not as good a song as I always thought it was. Hard to tell when the tape was already heavily degraded when I digitised the demo 15 years ago

School got out 32 minutes ago and I just heard the first "I'm bored"

Trump is often discussed as one of the worst presidents in modern American history, but it’s important to remember that such a categorization is far too narrow. Donald J. Trump is one of the worst people in modern American history.

When we were a two-car family we had Westley, a silver Honda Stream, and Buttercup, a yellow Aqua. Sold Buttercup because the insurance costs were insane (people like kidnapping her, apparently?!) but we still have the Dread Pirate Roberts. If we ever get a 7-seater, it'll surely be named Fezzik

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

I know people think X-Files is a 90s show, but the intro to this episode we just started featured a parody of Jackass, a System of a Down joke and the future Jesse Pinkman

Ms 7 is playing Pictionary vs AI (don't ask) and is furious it keeps guessing her drawing of a unicorn is a horse

The worst thing about AI taking over music is that no AI in its right mind would create a voice like Gary Numan, and that is a bad thing

So, walking up Cuba. Just enjoying the vibe, and a North American voice comes through "I've seen a lot of beautifil things in New Zealand, but this takes the cake". It was The BUCKET FOUNTAIN (He had kids tbf)

Top five albums of the year, that I didn't write and record myself! (Why only five, and not 10? Because I'm at that age where listing 10 would literally be listing most of the albums I listened to, and enjoyed, this year - not really any kind of ranking at all). Here we go...

Reading an article about how the rich are angry the government might help people, and of course they're making posters using AI. That font is so recognisable - not to mention the ribbons don't go all the way around the presents

Reverse Stonehenge

This ad played numerous times every ad break, almost certainly losing money for whichever idiot paid for it

I used this on a track today and it's by far the best guitar amp sim plugin I've ever used. Some reviews have noted it lacks a modern high-gain amp, but I was recording a weird psychedelic Beatles/Floyd thing today and the Vox/Fender amps are amazing - impossible to make it sound bad

Guess I better stop going to Liam Neeson for health advice... even though this very confusing article seems to infer that he had no idea what he was saying when he took part? www.avclub.com/liam-neeson-...

Clicked the wrong thing and not only lost all my open tabs, but somehow deleted the option in the browser history to reopen them all

generational discourse can be solved once and for all by distinguishing between "remembers no computers", "remembers no personal computers", and "remembers no cell phones". everything before that fought in wars. everything after that is, best case scenario, inventing the borg
