- 81. Kyle Lewis Is A Boring Name - Big Dog's Biggest Dog Incredibly fun theatrical prog punk. Just impossible not to smile to. It does the magical thing that Cheekface manage of being funny and sincere at the same time. klboringband.bandcamp.com/album/big-do...

- My latest album is here: noncanon.bandcamp.com along with 2 others, some t-shirts, and a collab EP notebook I made with @suzannahevans.bsky.social. Sad/slightly odd indiefolk with expansive instrumentation. I also have loud stuff with big riffs and yelling at oxygenthief.bandcamp.com

- These are really great. Like "what if Johnny Foreigner listened to more Alkaline Trio and was a (mostly) solo acoustic act from the north".
- 77. Sarah Carey - We Are Not Binary / In 20 Years We Won't Be Sad EPs Incredible songwriter friend who doesn't do anywhere near as much music these days as I selfishly would like. sarahcarey.bandcamp.com
- Yeah that one is still terrible. Rats!Rats!Rats! makes up for it though, pow.
- I love this so much it's annoying that you can only repost once without quoting.
- Reposted by Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief)I think lots of people still don’t know they need to unfollow before they block because otherwise they’re still following.
- Reposted by Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief)I try to have/spread fun on here, but fuck this guy, the horse he rode in on, and the guy who sold him the horse You’ve probably forgotten you’re following him because he’s been mercifully silent, but he’s trying to come back, so this may be a good time to unfollow (or just block him)
- apropos of nothing in particular, @lilashapiro.bsky.social gave us a tremendous piece of journalism last year, and it's always a great time to revisit it and thank her for the work she did in bringing these stories to light.
- I found this via the recent @post-trash.bsky.social review. Good to see that being published now, despite the album being out last year. More of that sort of thing please, rather than the "only brand new music is featured and then it's dead to us" attitude.
- 73. @teenagetompetties.bsky.social - Rally The Tropes Strong puntitle, enjoyable powerpop. Looking forward to exploring more.
- Reposted by Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief)A new episode this morning. I would recommend starting at the beginning though because there's been a fair bit of plot now. But you could still easily catch up in a few hours. You won't be doing much with your Sunday. Unless you play for Fulham, for example, I guess.

- I had a vegan tempeh burger for dinner tonight. It was delicious, but possibly the densest thing I’ve ever eaten. Feels like my insides may collapse into a singularity during the night.
