He/Him, Sydney, music, footy, bad jokes. Largely here for the album brackets.

The guy next to me on this very delayed train got on at Kings Cross in London at 0730 and will get to Edinburgh at 1715.
(We got on the 0900 and will alight before Edinburgh, so only an hour to go).

Shout out to our collective efforts, the train has run out of gin.

Anyway, I don't think it will stop kids from using social media but it will probably limit burner accounts. Will be interesting to see

Just did the age verification thing to use bsky in the UK. It was relatively painless. Chose the credit card option and tried to use debit card and it didn't work. Noticed that I had given my birthday in normal dates but bsky uses American so thought I was born in June, not December. Silly.

Considering stopping referring to my "ah pah tuh, pah tuh" as such, and going back to calling it my apartment.
Uh huh, uh huh.

But it's great. Sounds excellent (make sure you turn normalisation off), and it's discovery lists are better for me than Spotify's were. Plus music videos!
And they are finally working on it again and adding in little features here and there.

Did it 18 months ago and won't go back. It's not perfect - getting it to connect to the Sonos means you have to 1) load track. 2) pause track 3) connect to Sonos 4) wait for app to do a refresh flicker then 5) press play ... Which sucks.

Prices aren't going to come down, that's not what tackling inflation does. It's about not making them rise so quickly.
It's entirely underwhelming to experience.

The improvement from the end of last season to the end of this season by Georgia Garnett is so noticeable. Improved foot skills, decision making and that's allowed her hustle to pay dividends. #aflw #aflwgiantspower

I'll be in the UK and bored in a few weeks, so I will try and find the answer if you haven't cracked it by then (Mel tracina is going to be the best host since Gretel)

Yeah it usually self cancels the next year.

If it doesn't, for some reason, elect to go to an annual cycle.

Sydney was really small - 99% of people in the CBD had absolutely no idea it was going on whilst it was on.

@bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social - I note that the wonderful Music Brownlow poll (which does daily polls with a 3-2-1 weighted voting ballot, based on the Australian football leagues Brownlow medal voting to select the seasons best and fairest) has just completed 1989 albums, and the results are in

Lately I've been listening to different late career regurgitator albums.
When put through the lens that this band (as is on the tin) hears songs on the radio and does their own version of them, they are so successful. A strokesish indie dirge makes way for dirtbag hardcore... Bliss.

Yeah wow. Really happy I got the big dose of static.

But also -- how? How do you drive around with permanent static cutting in and out? What is the go?

Uber driver is tuned to RhemaCC 93.9 FM which I'm assuming is a central coast radio station because it is not in range at all
99% static with occasional bursts of big female vox.

This is a choice

"So buy a bucket coz I'm coming with my album, and for the record, meaning *my* record, check it, listen to the single and you'll be like 'yo I gotta get it!' "

Truer words never said on a guest intro.

The doc all day every day on this one

I think I speak for all Sydneysiders when I say "Down with pants! Theatres are a necessary refuge from a 35 degree mid spring scorcher! We will do what we want!"

Making the threshold 10 million dollars is such a brutal example of how the ALP completely lack the guts to even hint that rich people should go fuck themselves.
