Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I missed friday but if you like really mellow alt try the Floral Clocks https://thefloralclocks.bandcamp.com/

Unfortunately the next one isn't until August, but I did manage to grab some stuff. I picked up Te Rā by Alien Weaponry, I couldn't resist after they came third in the global Lemmyvision competition 😆

I don't know that really mellow alt is my thing in general, though I'd listen in the right context. I'm more into 90s rock or adjacent, though enjoy specific songs from a wide range of genres.

Their lyricist is this guy.

Wait, Te Ra came third in Lemmyvision?! That's so awesome!!!!! I see I have some catching up to do!

Wow, ok now I want to listen!

Wait, Te Ra came third in Lemmyvision?!

Mau Moko did, yeah! Here's the Lemmy.nz post, which links the original announcement.

Thanks!

Well that's my need for new songs to listen to sorted for this week! Lemmyvision is awesome.

Hey did you notify tell Alien Weaopnry that they took out the bronze? 😄

I didn't, but they are from Northland, think you can let them know next time you pop around for a cuppa?

This being NZ I have driven behind their van a couple of times. I guess if I see it again we should start madly flashing the headlights and signalling them to stop so I can share the good news.

Do it!

And ask them why they don't have an official Lemmy account 😆
