If your world view consists of white cowboy hats and black cowboy hats you may want to check whether your white cowboy hats aren't just black cowboy hats that have been spray painted white.


Pinned post, about following from multiple addresses

Hi, when I follow someone I usually do this from multiple accounts, with different servers and platforms. This is partially as backup. It’s also because different software has different features. E.g. at the moment of writing I mainly post from my Friendica server, but it doesn’t yet support polls, or account migrations. So I also follow from my Pleroma server, which does notify me someone has migrated.

I also sometimes use platforms that support nomadic identity, that allows my channels on multiple servers to be synced. From software that doesn’t support that, a follow request looks like multiple separate requests from those channels.

It feels like yesterday but last year Mia Shanks impressed me with her first single Yesterday. Today, on her birthday, she announces her second single The Sound Of It. I'm really excited. We'll know the sound of it on 27 September.

Volume 1 of Dove Cameron's first album Alchemical is out now, if you live in Friday-land. Other parts of the world wait a few hours.

Dove Cameron just announced that the next single from her album will come 10 November: instagram.com/reel/CzPA4zZPIWp…

It's after midnight so we should/could have Dove Cameron's first single from her first album. Unless they count US midnight. Starting up the pc now to check.

We get 8 songs on this volume 1, with three already unlocked and the album 'expected 1 December'.

You need to listen to Dove Cameron's Lethal Woman on better head/earphones. So much is lost on the cheap ones I had attached to the pc, I assume the same is true when playing it as background music (I guess if you're a streamer you're going to need to use TIDAL instead of Spotify for the sound quality). Now done my standard copying to phone, tablet and nas, and listening to it on my tablet.

She already said this song is quite different from what the other songs on the album will be. And indeed, it sounds somewhat chaotic in a way that I like and doesn't seem to have an obvious hook that her popular songs had (again, I like that).

Listening to The McCarricks, a husband and wife band consisting of one cello and one violin, making really cinematic music. I just noticed that they do have an EP on TIDAL and Spotify, but it's not the one I have and am listening to (which is self-titled).

I've seen them as support for Kristin Hersh and it was quite magical, their music with a video projection on a screen behind them. Bought the EP from them in person.

Europe's Biggest Dance Show is happening again now, listening to it via Studio Brussel. The BBC set we had a little ago was quite good, Ukraine coming up too (they had a good show last year). Looking forward to Belgium too.

Eleven radio stations in ten countries over Europe broadcast a show together, to share the best dance music of the continent. Each country does a half hour set, of course mainly showcasing their own music.

Belgium (Studio Brussel) coming up next in a few minutes. Dance music is in the soul of the nation and if last year is anything to go by, it's going to be a great set.

In a few minutes Ukraine will close this Europe's Biggest Dance Show, a radio show broadcast live from ten countries and eleven radio stations all over Europe, with a half hour music set.

My technique: follow interesting people since they tend to know, or work with, interesting people. Here's Melissa Barrera, who I only know because she acted in Scream with Jenna Ortega, singing on stage and being rather good at it.

(The event is related to a Frida musical and a friend's album release and Hispanic Heritage Month, see her caption)

I'd ask why this guy is slapping a plastic pigeon but that wouldn't be fair to the vision impaired people. I didn't include that in the image description and there is no way I know how to describe that.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

Reminds me that I'm still on the lookout for the film Carmen that came out this year in North American countries. Melissa Barrera is the lead in that film and does a lot of singing in it I believe.


Dove Cameron's first album is going to drop in the fall. It's going to be called ALCHEMICAL, will be a two parter with the first part coming out this fall. She just announced this on Instagram.

Sure you remember Lexa Doig, the actress who played Andromeda in the scifi tv series Andromeda. She has a daughter who turned 19 today. Yeah, I don't know how that's possible either, feels like that series was only yesterday. That daughter, Mia Shanks, has written and produced her own song that came out today that's called yesterday. And it's not bad at all, someone to keep an eye on.

Mia is also an actress, e.g. once playing the younger version of her mother's character (in Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, which I unfortunately haven't seen). Here's a photo of the two of them in their trailer from Lexa's insta. No, you're not seeing double.

I was looking for this photo, the absolutely best post Lexa has made on insta of the two of them. Mia not just 'cosplaying' her mother's character Rommie, but wearing the absolute original costume.

Mazzy Star is the music of my youth (only played on MTV Europe in their after midnight show Post Modern) and I thought I had all of their old and newer albums, and all of Hope Sandoval's albums as well, but I don't have this one (apparently from 2001). Thanks @Chris Trottier for the trigger to do something about that.


Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions - Suzanne (4:54)

This is the last song of the set and I thought we’d end on a hazy, beautiful song that sends us off for the night. By the way, Hope Sandoval was the vocalist for Mazzy Star. But this is my favourite song done by her.
