Wandering Adventure Party

Killer new self-titled EP by Sydney's BIG MODERN. Great guitar tone & lyrics, dynamics, it's tight, minimal sometimes.. there's some cool surprises on this one and I'm really digging it. And it's on Bandcamp AND Qobuz, which is cool - links below for both.

I know the dead internet theory isn't real because all of you are too fuckin awesome and weird to be fake

@nazokiyoubinbou @NullNowhere @spinning_bird it's fascinating I'm finally seeing some of this, Hollow Knight is a beautiful game and I get the raves, but my wife is VERY good at games, and same with her, she started, got partway in and kept hitting a wall. Dark Souls style. I don't like super tough games - I always marveled when people can beat these things, like, Cuphead. My kid is crazy good at games too and hit a wall with that one. And I had other friends telling me they'd beaten it. People do, I guess. Gameplay videos and such. But damn. Always wondered the percentages. How many people are just like to HELL with this

"Social media was built on the romance of authenticity. Early platforms sold themselves as conduits for genuine connection: stuff you wanted to see, like your friend’s wedding and your cousin’s dog.

Even influencer culture, for all its artifice, promised that behind the ring‑light stood an actual person. But the attention economy, and more recently, the generative AI-fueled late attention economy, have broken whatever social contract underpinned that illusion."

Social media promised connection, but it has delivered exhaustion.

Figured I'd finally make a RateYourMusic account to keep track of/move around the albums for my top 20 list this year, figured maybe it would make it easier. But as it turns out, several of the records on my list aren't in the RYM database, and it appears to be a pain to get things added ‍️ I'll just stick with my simple spreadsheet
