4 people gunned down in a deplorable act of violence in an LDS church in Michigan. https://apnews.com/article/mormon-church-shooting-michigan-dcb79ee701b0b8076bf73e30e10ba2b7?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us I know I'm pro-2A and anti-superstitious, but I also believe in freedom from religious persecution. Fucking rednecks.

Post-rock (of the non-crescendo-core variety) -- very tasty (The F1rst Take is a YouTube channel dedicated to showing (off) musicians performing a song -- live in the studio, or at least the ones on screen -- in its entirety in one take):

Happy belated birthday! (party favour noise...zuh)

As part of the Kickstarter, I get to listen to Al1ce's upcoming album, As Above, So Below, before anyone else... ...except everyone else who was a part of the Kickstarter...which is a heck of a lot of people...they quadrupled their goal.

I can't get enough of Kardi Bonus banger live version of an early barnburner:

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

I hear Lush and Slowdive, myself. But...yeah...(gets all dreamy eyed)...love that melodic harmonic wall of noise. Pure bliss. ...or did you mean the movie? LOL. I didn't watch the video until just now, just listened to the music.

I'm glad you survived. I hope you never disappear completely in my lifetime.

Pretty sure it was Charlie Kirk's last assassination.

Mmm...shoegazey...

I wonder if Aardvark Sammich has seen this.

Went off on a Devics bender again, just finished it the other day. Also going through some new releases: Kardi, When the Lights Out EP -- dangerously obsessable (Korean) poprock New SmashPups song, Chrome Jets. Rifftastic. Reminds of someone, can't put my finger on whom -- Randy Rhoads era Ozzy maybe? New Haezl song She's taking some time off to care for a family member, so there will probably be a delays in the other 6 parts of this. Pink Floyd, "The Machine Song - Demo #2, Revisited" -- almost sounds heavier without the beat/throb Crippling Alcoholism, Camgirl -- gothic rock, noise rock, darkwave Maruja, Pain to Power -- post-rock, post-punk, art rock

Meticulously played, thanks for the rec.!

IMO this is right up there with Lee Hazlewood/Nancy Sinatra's "Some Velvet Morning" and "Summer Wine" and Nick Cave/Kylie Minogue's "Where the Wild Roses Grow". Hearing her sing her part ultra high over his almost-talking drawl is the perfect representation of the siren call.

I had one of the scenes with Tyres O'Flaherty raving to something as my ringtone for the longest time.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

That's going to require a two very sharp thumbs up animated gif. Also, the song is really good. Impossible to follow that up, so good a time as any to post my latest obsession -- “It’s a song about wanting to disappear, as in completely vanish and not make a big deal about it,”. Very sombre/bleak/dark/morose. It has no video. https://www.frontview-magazine.be/en/news/skold-pop-the-smoke-new-single-by-swedish-industrial-rock-musician-out-1st-august-2025

You had me at 'bleak'. ...but I kept reading...you had me again at 'dreampop'....but I still read all the way to the end. I will definitely be giving the whole trilogy a listen, if it's as good as the one track.

Is the plural of 'haboob', 'haboobies' or 'haboobs'?

Unholy carp, it's Ren, doing a different song than "Hi Ren", and well!

Well that's reassuring. /s

Cure, Paris/Show I haven't listened to the others as much, but these are some of my favourite live albums from Robert Smith & co. Robert Smith at his most vulnerable/heartbreaking -- the song, "Apart", from Paris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS6ZyAsUA-w
