Didn't know #InternationalDayofLatex was a thing but here's a shot of me at Rubber Cult from April. I don't honestly like the way I look, even in latex I can't help compare my body shape to others but being a squeaky animal does make me feel better so... Here I am!
This isn't going onto my album list because I've heard it before but damn Paradox dropped an absolute banger of a synthwave album as an in-game radio station. Currently having a listen while I pretend to do my job.
The energy I am trying to bring to #CFz26. (I am not necessarily succeeding) Thanks for the photo @smogwolf.bsky.social ❤️
Hey did y'all see what @kekpuro.bsky.social did? Doveux is getting ready to go diving! I liked the idea of a heavy rubber commission and I think Puro has really made it look heavy and shiny. #RubberFurs
Joining us at #CFz26? Come see these terrific performers create hilarity from your suggestions! This time we're bringing music, singing, and if I remember to get to the charity shop, ✨prizes✨! Mon 25th May, 13:00, Third Stage Artwork by @theospaniel.bsky.social #ConFuzzled #ConFuzzled2026
I'm doing work for which I can't use Firefox (get a local font API please!) and since it's installed already I decided to use Microsoft Edge and this popped up. With μBlock in Firefox I can barely remember the last time I saw a popup and in Edge this is legitimately a part of the app! #Microslop
Me: I'm not going to buy any more vinyl until I finally have a turntable! Also me:
I'm doing a bit of a "Ship of Theseus" thing with these headphones. The headband and the left can & driver are the only original parts but god damn do they still sound great!
Hey @desduck.bsky.social I'm trying one of your 2025 album recommendations, Ethmebb's Allo Babar et les Caramboleurs, any idea why I've apparently got the "digestible version" of this album on Tidal?
Something not at all new, this is my flying album. I hate flying so if I'm ever on a plane then I stick this bad boy on so the sound can drown out the engine noise.
Something completely new to me! A suggestion from my mam, I hadn't heard of Alison Moyet before but I can see some of that early 80s synth in it, and she has an amazing voice.
"This is happening" was actually the album that got me into LCD Soundsystem because the title track is such a banger, though I get told it's their worst album. Sound of Silver is probably my favourite, whole album, well rounded, fitting start and end, few nice drops.
I can see why Gary Numan is considered ahead of his time. The Pleasure Principle is a great album and you can hear the influence it has on modern music, literally in some cases.
I don't know if I'm being unfair by suggesting that once you've listened to one Interpol album, you've listened to them all. Much as I do like the way songs build up momentum, and this album I quite enjoyed, I've never thought they did much differently with the others.
The Lancashire Hotpots did a song called "Cheer up Thom Yorke" and I think this would apply to Röyksopp too, after 3 upbeat synth pop studio albums, their fourth album Senior just went super dark. Teenage me really liked it, and it's still a fun listen if at times eerie.
Travis are one of those bands where you'll know the singles but maybe not the albums; I think they were unfortunate to be popular in the early '00s when cynicism was popular and the band's attempts at meaningful and vulnerable lyrics were dismissed as trite. I think their albums do have weak points…
Justice's eponymous debut album is one of my favourite albums-as-an-album. The sounds between tracks feed into each other; I don't think there's any weak tracks although I will sometimes skip "Stress" because it stresses me out.
“You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?” I'm probably fucked but at least I don't have lupus.
