Yeahh haha not surprised. I remember they did shady sales tactics during covid when there were shortages of things like RATs - like spend over $100 to get a free box of tests coz they somehow had an oversupply. Bizarre

Noice. Getting Wombats/Tiny Little Houses vibes. A few hints of Morrisey in some vocals too.

Not a fan of the Melbourne roaster St Ali. It’s local, but not a small roaster anymore - can find them in supermarkets. From all reports the owner sucks. Tried some beans before I found that out and they were ‘meh’. So yeah, it’s a no from me.

Neat! Yet to check this one out and also keen to see the music vid they’ve been teasing recently.

Oo, ooo! I know this. This is from the Modest Mouse video clip for the song Coyotes. It’s about mankind’s destruction of nature in the face of mankind finding so much beauty in nature.

Yep, we released an album recently that you can find on any streaming platform :)
Dreams Don’t Come True - Cousin In Law.
Doesn’t feature any of my songs, but I wrote some guitar parts and do some backing vocals. Hoping to finish recording and release some of my own stuff later this year (maybe… I really hope so haha)

Yourself?

Totally. Lockdowns really highlighted the importance of music to me.

Oh man that’s a trickier question than it seems. I recently got a dunlop wah (coz MJ lenderman) and a TC digital delay so figurin out how thosd work for me.
Have one grungy song with an Opamp Muff and then a Boss Chorus over that during an arpeggiated section. I like that.
Mostly listen and play Indie/alt rock.

Yessir. Only been taking it a bit more seriously in last few years and joined a band. Been super fun. The world of pedals seemed too serious and daunting 2 years ago 😅 for some reason, but yeah, been really enjoying exploring that side of things.

Oh wow! Haha I can see why it’d take a while to get thru all the sounds and ways of using it. Have fun

Ah nice one!
What pedal?

This is less to do with single-use plastics, but plastic is often a really good option from a functional POV. It doesn’t conduct heat like metal, it doesn’t break like glass/ceramics and has better moisture resistance than timber. (Not saying plastic couldn’t be replaced a lot of the time, but some times it’s a frustratingly good option).

In terms of complete single-use plastic replacement, I’m not sure, but would also be interested. I’d hope it’s mostly possible.

I have Crohns. This would help monitor disease activity for sure. And having more data could help understand triggers better.

I mean… just gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the expression exists because within the history of every book ever released, there would be some fantastic books with absolute stinkin’ covers.

Yes, covers are there to help you judge a book. But if that was the only metric you used, you would miss out on some good reads.

Yeh, this has got to be one of the least embarrassing/concerning things he’s done

Thanks! Here is the spotify link, but it’s also on YouTube music etc. and Bandcamp. https://open.spotify.com/album/7tv4zg1t4VgfZDqgroGaop

I play guitar and backing vocals :)

The band I’m in just released our debut album today! Eeeeep 😱 but also woooo 🥳

I’ve got so many large format coffee table books on the topic of minimalism. I find them inspiring and they fill out the space on my bookshelves.

Moths beat themselves to death against the lights, adding their breeze to the summer nights. Some mothy gothy lyricism from Isaac Brock.

Car-bombers who recently purchased cyber trucks are gonna be pissed!

Gotta love rockwiz. My favourite duo cover was Paul Dempsey and Kate Miller Hideyakeys doin Careless Whisper.
