Hi all. If you pay for Parcel Post online but don't have a printer, can you go to the PO and get them to print it out for you?

This is actually a really bad problem because I thought that certain communities I am a member of are quite active but coming in from aussie.zone, they look completely dead. It was making me start to switch off from Lemmy.

I just realised this was happening and is a tech issue rather than an engagement with Lemmy as a platform issue. I wish it was fixed.

I also just found out that Under The Milky Way was co-written by Steve Kilbey and his partner at the time, whose band I linked to in the post. Not a bad earner, I would imagine!

There are 3 tracks in this YT upload from the 7" single from the Swedish feminist punk band:

  1. Söndagsskolehyckel (Sunday school hypocrisy)
  2. Stålmannen/kvinnan! (Superman/Woman!)
  3. Särskild Sort (Special Variety)

This ties in with my recent post about Pink Champagne's guitarist's future band, Curious (Yellow).

You're welcome! Thanks for the response.

Seeing as I just posted a song adjacent to to The Church, it would be remiss of me to not add this classic to the annals of this Lemmy Community.

Do you like The Church? Curious (Yellow) was the band that was led by Karin Jansson, ex-partner of Steve Kilbey, and mother of two of his children. He gets credited for performing on this song, and others on the album it is from, Charms and Blues. He's also listed as the, "Producer, Executive Producer"

I used to own a cassette copy of Charms and Blues. It just occurred to me today to see if a video exists from back in the day and here it is.

My continued exploration down the rabbit hole of international dreamgaze has led me to Japan's Shikisai Puzzle (シキサイパズル). It's hard to find info but they appear to have released a 2014 album that this track is from and a follow-up mini-album. Both are on Spotify. The album is also on Youtube.

 

Beat Happening was an American indie pop band formed in Olympia, Washington, in 1982. Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis, and Bret Lunsford have been the band's continual members. Beat Happening were early leaders in the American indie pop and lo-fi movements, noted for their use of primitive recording techniques, disregard for the technical aspects of musicianship, and songs with subject matters of a carefree or coy nature.

Probably the funnest song I have heard in a long while from Swiss, Berlin based, Anna Erhard.

 

This is a lovely segment, IMO

 

Every Noise at Once is an ongoing attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 6,291 genre-shaped distinctions by Spotify as of 2023-11-19. The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.

Try the jangle pop My Bloody Valentine? This album was a compilation of music that came out before their first Creation Records album.

Ecstasy and Wine (1989) - Yewtube or Youtube

My picks from Loveless would be Only Shallow, When You Sleep, Come In Alone but basically most of the album.

They can't be everyone's cup of tea, so it's fine if you don't get into them. I'm the same with a lot of bands. I came to MBV at a formative time in my life and they were pretty much the first "famous" band that I ever saw live, but even now, I can't say that I listen to them all the time.

 

Nice tune from Quivers who are from Melbourne, Australia. Having recently signed with Merge Records, they have released this single. There's a (not so subtle) nod to Pavement in there. There is also an album on the way.

I couldn't believe that there's only been one MBV track posted here, so here's another from the seminal album, Loveless.

In case you're interested in that vinyl re-issue. I had it on cassette and possible, later on CD, but never on wax.

 

Having noticed Sprints a little while back, and also enjoying their subsequent album, it's good to see and hear this KEXP set.

Great to see a good looking, HD version of this video.

I was minded to look it up today, after ordering a vinyl copy of a re-issue of The Sundays' debut album. The album that Goodbye is from came out a couple of years later and I still remember hearing it as the lead single and being completely floored by its sound; the guitars, lyrics, chord structure and that voice.

I think it was the season that Viv and Joe Montemurro arrived that coincided with me figuring out that I could use the FA Player to see WSL games. I had caught some of the Euros that The Netherlands won, so was pretty pleased that Viv was joining. I had heard about the "Arsenal Ladies" since becoming an Arsenal supporter but hadn't had a chance to follow with any regularity before then. Definitely sad news, IMO, to hear about her departure!

Not known publicly. The rumour is Man City, which would be suboptimal.

Well that was quite something
