There are 3 tracks in this YT upload from the 7" single from the Swedish feminist punk band:

  1. Söndagsskolehyckel (Sunday school hypocrisy)
  2. Stålmannen/kvinnan! (Superman/Woman!)
  3. Särskild Sort (Special Variety)

This ties in with my recent post about Pink Champagne's guitarist's future band, Curious (Yellow).

Seeing as I just posted a song adjacent to to The Church, it would be remiss of me to not add this classic to the annals of this Lemmy Community.

Do you like The Church? Curious (Yellow) was the band that was led by Karin Jansson, ex-partner of Steve Kilbey, and mother of two of his children. He gets credited for performing on this song, and others on the album it is from, Charms and Blues. He's also listed as the, "Producer, Executive Producer"

I used to own a cassette copy of Charms and Blues. It just occurred to me today to see if a video exists from back in the day and here it is.

My continued exploration down the rabbit hole of international dreamgaze has led me to Japan's Shikisai Puzzle (シキサイパズル). It's hard to find info but they appear to have released a 2014 album that this track is from and a follow-up mini-album. Both are on Spotify. The album is also on Youtube.

Beat Happening was an American indie pop band formed in Olympia, Washington, in 1982. Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis, and Bret Lunsford have been the band's continual members. Beat Happening were early leaders in the American indie pop and lo-fi movements, noted for their use of primitive recording techniques, disregard for the technical aspects of musicianship, and songs with subject matters of a carefree or coy nature.

Anna Erhard - Botanical Garden [2024] (annaerhard.bandcamp.com)

Probably the funnest song I have heard in a long while from Swiss, Berlin based, Anna Erhard.

This is a lovely segment, IMO

Every Noise at Once is an ongoing attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 6,291 genre-shaped distinctions by Spotify as of 2023-11-19. The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.

Nice tune from Quivers who are from Melbourne, Australia. Having recently signed with Merge Records, they have released this single. There's a (not so subtle) nod to Pavement in there. There is also an album on the way.

I couldn't believe that there's only been one MBV track posted here, so here's another from the seminal album, Loveless.

Having noticed Sprints a little while back, and also enjoying their subsequent album, it's good to see and hear this KEXP set.

Great to see a good looking, HD version of this video.

I was minded to look it up today, after ordering a vinyl copy of a re-issue of The Sundays' debut album. The album that Goodbye is from came out a couple of years later and I still remember hearing it as the lead single and being completely floored by its sound; the guitars, lyrics, chord structure and that voice.

I lived in the UK for 10 years and am married to a Scot, so I understand the similarities and differences!

Good point. I nicked the description from an indicative menu on their website as I forgot to note what it said on the menu when I went there. Clearly they altered it since then. Will edit title of ~~point~~ post. I definitely did eat it!

Jan 1992, p.28

the alternative music scene has grown to the point where it's no longer the alternative anymore; it has in fact become part of the mainstream.

Which is both good and bad. No, rock isn't dead--if it were, there wouldn't be much point in this magazine-but it is, as Paul Westerberg said in our Soul of Rock'n'Roll issue, going underground. True innovation is being pushed farther and farther from the mainstream, while the mainstream itself expands to encompass fringes it once scarcely noticed. Five years ago the thought of Sonic Youth being on a major label would have been as unthink. able as it would have been undesirable; today it would seem a gross injustice if they weren't. And hell, why not- seems like the majors these days are buying up anything that moves, or at least moves noisily, as long as the band in question has some sort of independent credibility and/ or following. This is good for the bands in the short run, and for some even in the long run, but the overall effect is hardly salutary, especially as it concerns the health of the independent system, which until now has developed and nurtured these bands.

Most likely, this mainstream bloat will deflate somewhat in the next couple of years as the majors realize that it's probably not a good idea to sign every half assed jangly guitar rock band that comes their way.

Callistemon! Edit - Callistemon citrinus has been reclassified as Melaleuca citrina. AKA the common red bottlebrush, crimson bottlebrush or lemon bottlebrush. It's endemic to Eastern Australia. Therefore...

PS - not weird in the slightest

Champion’s League is hard. That’s only our 4th win in 18 in 🇪🇸. Ever.

Last time in Seville, 3-1 loss with Arsène getting sent off with 3rd goal scored by ex-Spud.

A game we had to at least draw and we got a tough win. I’ll take it. 🔴⚪️

I used a poker machine once. Put in $5//10 came out on top by $5/10. Never touched one again. Drive them all into the desert and drop a bomb on them, IMO.

Based upon previous behaviour, you can guarantee that Meta will not act in good faith in the long run. IMO they don't give 2 shits about any of the ideals of the fediverse or the open web before that. This is like the Taliban promising that they would be good guys this time around. See point 6.

My votes would be, this:

Or:
