Here's a preview of Henry from balu brigada so I don't forget to finish it later

Another indie classic that I almost forgot about, the synth riff is very unique, I can recognize it from a distance , also, their vibes remind me a bit of another band from those times, which is MGMT.

Song: Punching In A Dream

Artist: The Naked And Famous

Year: 2010

Devilskin: metal/rock with female singer who can do some amazing vocal work

Villainy: rock band with big millennial feels to the lyrics ("Raised in the Dark" and "Dreams" are both very #Mood songs) "Love & War" from their second album, "Dead Sight," is my FAVOURITE song of theirs.

The Decemberists: I don't even know how to describe them... start with the album "The Hazards of Love."

I've just recently discovered The Amazing Devil, basically if you like "Toss a coin to your Witcher" and "Burn, Butcher, Burn" from The Witcher, you'll love The Amazing Devil...

The other day we were talking about how as you get older it's easy to stumble into "old thing good, new thing bad" bullshit just because sticking with old things is easy while finding new things you'll like takes work, and I realized that a couple of years ago I just sorta stopped listening to new music.

Recommend me some tunes, Tumblr. I mostly listen to metal and filk but I've got big soft spots for outlaw country, girly pop, and political hip-hop, and I'll listen to just about any old thing at least once

Neil Finn Joined Split Enz in 1977 after lead singer and founding member Phil Judd left the group. Neil's brother Tim went on to share lead vocals in the band until it broke up in 1984. Finn and Split Enz drummer Paul Hester then went on to form Crowded House. I'd hum a few of their classic tunes for you but I'm guessing you wouldn't hear me 🤔. Probably best to just check them out for yourself 😁

Today, on April 13th, 1985 - Queen Story!

Auckland, New Zealand, Mount Smart Stadium

'Works! Tour'

This outdoor show was Queen's first and only concert in New Zealand.

Freddie Mercury got very drunk with Tony Hadley of Spandau Ballet before the show, sharing entire bottles of vodka and vintage port. Hadley was around only because their New Zealand tour dates had been suddenly canceled while playing in Australia, and later in the evening he would clearly ignore his manager's warning to keep a low profile.

Between songs (probably after the medley of old songs), Freddie did his usual falsetto vocal improv, and added, My voice is fucked!" According to a book on Queen, at one point he proclaimed to Hadley who was side stage (into his mic and thus audible to the audience) that he was "pissed."

Tony Hadley joined Queen for Jailhouse Rock (as seen in the second picture above). Roger Taylor recalled Tony didn't remember a single word of the song. He apparently ended up singing Tutti Frutti instead. He fondly recalled the day in a 2006 interview. Here's a pro pic taken during this song

Okay because I’m watching a video about some attempt at a Wiggles dark ride and I am feeling nostalgic because the Wiggles were a staple of my childhood: 

Jack convincing Matt, Al and Zee to go as the Wiggles with him for Halloween.
