@ajfidalgo.com nope, it’s just an overpriced toy, but check out their Wikipedia page and all the conspiracy theories surrounding them.

Another Bandcamp Friday purchase is the album Australia Stops by C.O.F.F.I.N. (Children of Finland Fighting in Norway)

Australia Stops, by C.O.F.F.I.N

Australia Stops by C.O.F.F.I.N, released 24 May 2023 1. Give Me A Bite 2. Cut You Off 3. City Sun 4. Keep It Dark 5. Lover's Leash 6. Beasts 7. Australia Stops 8. Factory Man 9. Night Breaker 10. Through The Sewer 11. Faceless Sydney Northern Beaches' very own hard-biting rockers C.O.F.F.I.N are proud to share their fifth full-length studio album entitled 'Australia Stops', the highly-anticipated follow-up from their monumental 'Children In Finland Fighting In Norway' album from 2020. Out September 15th 2023 via Damaged Record Co in Australia, Bad Vibrations in Europe and Goner Records in North America. 'Australia Stops' was recorded in January 2023 at The Pet Food Factory studio with producer Jason Whalley (Frenzal Rhomb) behind the desk. A record that showcases a collection of diverse and gripping new works that highlight the band's evolution into more melodious, 1970's Australiana and boogie rock and roll. Frenzied, high-voltage guitars, thumping rhythms, flowing melody and clever, captivating lyrics exhibit an undeniable progression in composition and song-writing, while still unmistakably the C.O.F.F.I.N that fans world-wide have come to worship over their 18 year lifespan. For those who are no strangers to the Australian highways, 'Australia Stops' may be best recognised as words donned on the back of truck mud flaps. To C.O.F.F.I.N, 'Australia Stops' are words that became a polysemous idea and observation on Australian society, culture, art, politics and progression. "When the city burns up you get out, when the flint hits shot you get down", lyrics roared by drummer/vocalist, Ben Portnoy, a look into 'idle-Australia', our government action (or lack thereof) to social issues and the overarching notion of fear of change in this country. While the theme 'Australia Stops' poses political questions and ideals, it also synchronously shines light on the eminence of community, the healthy beating heart of art and music, the beautiful landscapes and divergent nature surroundings held dear within Australia. With this, 'Australia Stops' is neither a fully positive or negative elucidation of this country. It is a celebration of the things we are lucky to have, while always trying to encourage and inspire those around us to try and do better.

@audreygwinter @ruckerworks Liquid Television followed by 120 Minutes!

@synlogic @breadwizard I have to say, Shadowdark also incorporates a lot of ideas that also appear in DCC, most prominently, magical mishaps, but in a simpler fashion which uses traditional polyhedral dice.

@chgowiz My parents have something similar in planters on their deck.

@chgowiz My daughter devours cherry and grape tomatoes. I just need to get the plants high enough to keep the bunnies out and to make it easier on my poor back when I have to weed it.

@thorsten The guy behind the Eclecticism YouTube music channel turned me on to them (and many other bands):

@chgowiz I hated having to tend to my wife and daughter's garden (it always fell to me and got overwhelmed with weeds), but I think next summer, I'm going to do some tomato and pepper plants in holders on my patio instead of a garden plot.

@thorsten I checked one of their songs and I like what I heard. I will have to look into them more later today!

I just bought the new EP Make it Hot by the Swedish punk/rock band (think L7) Darla.

Nature is amazing. I was driving to Culver’s this evening and there were a trio of sandhill cranes looking for food on the side of the road. One sauntered out into the street (a 4-lane stroad btw), stopped eastbound traffic, took a massive shit, and then sauntered back. I think we can all learn something from these beautiful creatures.

@stumblewyk maybe…
