For anyone who likes The Clique's "Superman" made famous when R.E.M. covered it, the upbeat revision "Supergirl" by @shapeslikepeople.bsky.social is the Friday boost you needed. open.spotify.com/track/0ONHm2...

Is there anything like the hope of a new generation? One beautiful Eastern Bluebird egg. She'll lay one per day until there are five in most cases and then start incubation. #birding #kansascity

Such a good album!

Just saw the video for The Lightning Seeds 'Pure' on 120 Minutes. Reminds me of the crush I had on a girl who worked at the Turtles Records in Augusta, Georgia 35 years ago. We bonded over the band, but she rejected my date offer when I got the cassingle. I was such an idiot. 😏 #music

Seeing UK college-rock icon Robyn Hitchcock play a solo show this afternoon with about 250 people was fantastic. Having him finish the show with a stroll around the venue in a singalong with the crowd to a Beatles song was a treat. The experience won't soon be forgotten. #music #kansascity

I've noticed a pair of Eastern Bluebirds checking out the nestbox over the last few days. Yesterday was first time I've seen the female carry any nesting material, so took a quick photo when both birds were away. Curious on progress I checked again this afternoon. Busy bird! #birding #kansascity

Morning naps in the sun are the best. #catsofbluesky

Yellow Grosbeak found yesterday in Arkansas, making it possibly the easternmost occurrence of the species. This is the normal range map. What in the world?! #birding

Totally fulfillng my musical itch this morning is this new gem from @shapeslikepeople.bsky.social. The Rickenbacker is chiming, the harmonies are sweet, and it just works for me. Bonus points for the Close Lobsters t-shirt in the video. #newmusicfriday open.spotify.com/track/6yHnKR...

@milesnaturephotos.bsky.social FWIW, this might be a feed that interests you, or at least gets you connected with other Bluesky members.

@milesnaturephotos.bsky.social Followed you over here from the Western Washington Birders group. Hope many others will follow! #birding

My Kansas City home received about 10.6" (27cm) of snow yesterday. In the midst of our blizzard, this beautiful Cooper's Hawk spotted by. #birding

Too many people driving still Too lazy to alt the pics, but four pics of wrecks around KC metro highways

Kansas City is really slippery now with the ice building. It's going to be a good 36 hours to hunker down, journal, listen to music, and catch-up on delayed chores. #mowx

Was excited to get a Merlin to start the new year, especially since I missed one all of 2024. Not a great digiscope photo. #birding

Remembering the brilliant Benjamin Curtis today. Can't believe it's been 11 years since T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma robbed us. Silver Machines - Ten Silver Drops Reprise/Run Out Groove, 2019 School of Seven Bells - SVIIB Vagrant Records, 2022 #recordoftheday #cancersucks

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

Early morning owling for the Christmas Bird Count. Going to be a long, fun day! 18°F to start. #birding

Aussie vibes this afternoon. The Go-Betweens - 16 Lovers Lane Beggars Banquet/PolyGram Canada, 1988

Needed energy to get Monday going! Early Swervedriver had some of the most melodic, muscular guitars going at the time. Swervedriver - Reel to Real EP A&M Records, 1991 #recordoftheday

Love browsing a local pottery studio's holiday sale and finding treasures from the talented artists there. #DriftwoodCeramics

Found this old signed Sugarcubes photo in a box while looking for something else. The old radio days...

Love the dreamy feels of this Connor Youngblood track, "Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge," as it fits my Friday morning vibe. He's a great multi-instrumentalist deserving of more exposure. #birding youtu.be/iU4X95KVApk?...

@highspire.bsky.social I'm so excited you're here and new music is coming! You were my top artist of my Spotify wrapped in 2019.

Still puzzling over my Spotify Wrapped. I wouldn't have expected Ned's Atomic Dustbin to be my top artist. Maybe The Church or School of Seven Bells, but not NAD. I'm guessing 1992 Steve would've approved.

Generally overlooked band from Canada that I always enjoyed. Even though it's old, one of my favorite colored vinyl pieces as well. The Grapes of Wrath - These Days Capitol Records/EMI Canada, 1991

A very full Eastern Bluebird nestbox with five nestlings from April 2024. All five fledged successfully even though the male (who often does a lot of feeding) was lost early after the eggs were laid. Posted so I can be added to the Bluesky bird feed. #addBirder

Good morning Bluesky! Let's have a high energy Monday!
