Retirement: the ultimate weekend
22.02.2026 03:17 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It manages to have a much stronger 'anything you'd need for the weekend' energy but with that corner-store seediness at 20x scale

Like the Arts and Crafts Movement, which emerged in the 19th century as a response to industrialization and mass production, seeking to reconnect with and preserve techniques threatened by mechanisation and factories? That aimed to address social and economic inequalities?
Huh.
Somehow better than both the song and the movie it copped from

Chiemi Eri & the Tokyo Cuban Boys! This album is so good! I've been trying to find a real copy since first hearing it on the WFMU 365 Days Project ~20 years ago. And they have three other Chiemi albums? Oh man...

This whole album grooves so hard!

I think I maybe only survived 2020 due to massive doses of Kaidi Tatham. I'm late to this release but it sounds good so far

I can't remember how I found this, but it's such a great, relaxed, funky vibe

Ariane Moffat keeps getting better imo. Great Quebecois synth pop

Stick in the Wheel do folk just right for me, it's worth poking around the discography because they're always trying out something different

I really enjoyed Juana Molina's 2017 album Halo, and while looking it up last week I saw she had released a new album last November. Sweet! Lots of cool timbral stuff on here

It's Bandcamp Friday again! Here's a thread of stuff I'm looking at (and a link to the last one I made a thread for, yikes, it's been a while)

A vintage Honda motorcycle magazine ad, depicting four people riding small Honda motorcycles and the text, "You meet the nicest people on a Honda. City streets, country lanes, desert roads or mountain paths, travel the smart and joyful Honda way. Easy to ride, safe and economical, join the millions around the world who are Happy Honda riders!"
Those Kawis were beautiful, but you'll forget all about them once you're a Happy Honda rider

The new one (Nostalgia) isn't posted yet, but they can be read online here:

Well ideally you attain nirvana eventually, but that's why they say 'as needed'

Speaking of dancing, what an album, Sharon Jones was so good:

oh man, I'm ready for some continuous dance music, folks

John Zorn's A Dreamer's Christmas is a cozy little music box of an album. Mike Patton appears and is honestly maybe a little too Mike Patton on it, but presumably that's what he was hired for, and it's still a great album.

Anne and Japan go farther back than that! In short, the original book (in translation) was added to the school curriculum in 1952 and wound up becoming and continuing to be extremely popular, popular enough that there are multiple anime adaptations (including one just this past year)

Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks' Crazy for Christmas. Here's Somebody Stole my Santa Claus Suit:

First off, here's last year's thread:
bsky.app/profile/both...
I'm going to post Christmas/winter holiday music in this thread all month so that the thread itself can be muted if that isn't your thing. It's unlikely I'll be posting more than (or even as much as) once a day but it just seems like a neighbourly thing to do.
