I know that you can use a cigarette lighter, very briefly, to burn off the stuck-on ink off the ball… otherwise the ball will pop out because the ink behind it turns to steam, I assume.

I believe there’s a chemical (maybe isopropyl alcohol?) That you can apply to the ball to dissolve the ink as well.

 

Just wondering what people thought the great reunion/comeback albums were from Maxophone, Il Roverscio Della Medaglia, PFM, Banco, etc etc.

women’s pants typically don’t have pockets, so you’d get NO notification.

Hong Kong was a 100 year deal as well. (So yes, definitely matters)

Not one person in the sticks owns a freaking trail cam or dash cam? :(

Sten is from the late 80s, Expendable from late 90s. :). And there’s a shaggy dog story in the Sten books that’s takes… 4 books, I think, to get the punchline. LOL.

Several books in the League of Peoples series (start with Expendable) have this. Festina Ramos is competent AF without going into Mary Sue territory.

The Sten series (Allan Cole & Chris Bunch, military-ish sci-fi) has a fantastically competent lead.

He’s on a tablet, though, so you have to push on it a few times.

Mime on a unicycle (lemmy.world)
 

No, I don’t know what the story behind that is.

Saw an owl tonight! (lemmy.world)

Got this photo from my phone from the street. He was loud, hooted every 20-30 seconds. Really cool!

 

Went to IKEA the other day and came across these stuffed animals/hand puppets based off the Snowy Owl. Very soft and pretty darn cute

 

Don’t sleep on these guys. Holy hell. They just did a metal/rock version of ‘Ode to Joy’. Math rock/prog rock - love it!

 

I’m going to post several photos tonight - local awesomeness Plus Fest took Floral’s tour stop in DFW and added several bands to it - Friend Operation, Abelia (now defunct?), Johann (Japan), and Rob Ford Explorer.

This is Abelia, (formerly?) out of Dallas. Midwest emo with some (post?)-hardcore (one clean singer, one screamo), but a ton of bits people here would like - crazy tapping, bits that sound like ASIWYFA or Vasa. But one of the guitarists has said several times they’re no longer a band so… I don’t know.

No idea if they have any newer albums. Found this on Bandcamp. https://abeliaband.bandcamp.com/album/kalamari

And a link to this band, Friend Operation (file under Midwest emo, I’d think): https://friendoperation.bandcamp.com/album/irrelevant

 

I played this during one of the NextFests, and I’m psyched that it’s almost out. Think of Slay The Spire, but with Lovecraft.

 

Euphoric black metal from Iran.

 

Awesome show in Dallas tonight . Packed, too! Good for them, go see them!

New EP by Rob Ford Explorer (robfordexplorer.bandcamp.com)
submitted 3 months ago by Mbourgon to c/mathrock
 

No affiliation, just following them on Bandcamp and saw this, this morning. A little harsher than their self-titled.

 

Unsure WHICH one of the TWDY this is, but tickets just went on sale.
