Outrage/protest isn’t really evident in pop music, but it’s still there in scenes like punk and hardcore. Off the top of my head, Body Farm are a great contemporary punk band that call out (neo)conservatism and fascism.

Edit: check out their track Revolution With Friends

Yes! Love JG Thirlwell’s work. Been listening to the Wiseblood album a lot recently.

I’ve never attempted to make bagels before but these make me want to try.

It’s still one of my favourite albums.

That looks amazing! He should be proud.

You know it’s okay to dress brightly, flamboyantly, dazzlingly and even fabulously too, right?

It’d be real nice if we could celebrate the fact that this is good news on an “uplifting news” community rather than devolving into whataboutism.

I’d second this suggestion, I’ve used borg with rsync.net for the past 4 years and it’s been great.

My go-to *sonic/navidrome client on Android is Symfonium. It’s not free but it’s well-maintained and has all the features I need (smart playlists, artist radio, gapless playback and replaygain).

I had a music teacher who would read sheet music like this. He said he could hear it, and he prefered it to actually listening to a recording because his imagination was so much richer than what could be captured by a recording.

I thought it was amazing and really envied this ability.

👏

Glad you enjoyed them ☺️
