Hi Alternative Nation, it's been a while. Here's my latest Japanese Shoegaze discovery via Testcard Records (who are worth checking out). I know zero about this band!

Just giving a listen to the Obey Robots album that came out last ~~month~~ year, and it's really good. Edit: the other half od Obey Robots is Gareth "Rat" Pring from Ned's Atomic Dustbin.

 

I mentioned Miles Hunt in my previous She Makes War post. So I want to post a Wonder Stuff song.

Don't have time to write that much about this, so here is their Wikipedia page.

I first got intro'd to the music of Laura Kidd AKA She Makes War, Penfriend and Obey Robots in about 2010. I didn't really take enough time to really listen to her stuff properly, so didn't get very engaged with her work.

I just started to give it another go and I have to say, her work is pretty terrific. There's lots of musical variation across her different releases and personas. This song is pretty straight up indie rock, but there's also electronic and folk elements on certain songs, as well. Some nice collabs with people like Tanya Donelly and Miles Hunt, too. If you dig deep enough, you can even find the club bangers and punk rock she was involved with in the 2000's.

This band is based in Bristol in the UK. They sound a lot like The Velvet Underground, so they also sound like Luna/Galaxie 500 and all the other VU influenced bands. There's also hints of Cowboy Junkies and Wilco on some songs and a little bit of Belle and Sebastian. Their discography is worth a listen, and they have a new album out right now, too.

I believe they are from Toronto. They are in my mental filing system next to The Sundays, Cocteaus and Innocence Mission. This is a lovely song.

Those four properties – Trump International Hotel in Washington, Trump Tower and Trump World Tower in New York, and Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas – represented less than 1% of the 558 corporate entities Trump owned either directly or indirectly while president, the report said.

Three different beef/steak pies are pictured here. The two shots on the bottom left are of the pies whose insides are showing on the right.

All pies were purchased and consumed in different parts of regional Victoria, Australia, at various times.

It was a fair enough result. The stats were very even and we were lucky not to have paid the price for being caught on the break. Top at Christmas is nice. Merry Christmas everyone!!

I used to know a man who was huge fan of Queen but also massively homophobic. When I called him out on it, “Um, Freddie was very gay”, he quickly replied, “Oh, that’s different”. 🤔

Thanks for asking. I’ll add a description to the post a bit later with what I can remember. The red meat is flank.
