In the latest episode Scarry isn't too pleased to hear the Traveller talk about how wonderful Γli is to the crew. I wonder why???

We had our best ever sales numbers over on Bandcamp over the weekend, with Friday being our best ever day (thank you everyone!)
The amount we raised from sales was the equivalent of (roughly) 250,000 listens on Spotify.

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

that is an admirably firm stance! most christmas music breaks me out in hives so i tend to prefer things with plenty of plausible deniability π

What are your musical Christmas deep cuts? Songs you'd be baffled and delighted to hear on a shop radio? Especially looking for upbeat stuff!
two sides of the same soggy coin, i feel π

29.11.2025 21:22 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I'm the least Christmas-inclined person in my workplace, but also the one so picky about the music we play that I made a multi-page spreadsheet as a random track selector to generate playlists π As a result, I have been tasked with making The Christmas Playlists. It is going... poorly π₯²

If you're not listening yet, you're missing out on some seriously cosy science fantasy - think the gentleness of Monk & Robot crossed with Ursula Le Guin's anthropological vibes π½β¨
And if you ARE listening, thank you!!
Such a gorgeous feeling, delighted you're getting to experience it! I had the same revelation about Christmas. Turns out, it can just be nice! Who knew!
