dear livejournal, well it’s summer and i’ve transitioned into my summer uniform. it’s basically the same as my rest of the year uniform but with short pants instead of long pants. are they called “long pants” and “short pants” or is it just “pants” and “shorts”? i have a lot of thoughts about my pants. i will share some of them now. i prefer wearing my jean pants because my butt looks really good in them. i don’t have any jean shorts that fit me but i did find these stretchy waist shorts that fit pretty well. last summer i ordered one from the internet and it fit so i ordered like 6 more lol. but my butt just doesn’t look as good in them. i like how jeans have the full double butt pockets. these shorts just have one butt pocket and the pocket is on the inside. i like the way jean butt pockets, which are on the outside of the pant, help draw the eyes to the butt. which is where i want the eyes to go. the jeans, with their thicker material, also just provide more support for my butt, which is important to me. but it’s just too warm in the summer to wear jean pants. so i choose to sacrifice the butt support for warm weather comfort for the season and we can all look forward to the fall and the return of my glorious bottom.DOWNLOAD RECORDINGsubscribe to the podcast here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/5432fun00:00 (intro by omar)00:20 Evening Standards “The Baron” WORLD’S END03:31 Mermaidens “Cut It Open” You Maintain the Stain07:55 NOTS “In Glass” 311:19 Nerve Beats “Initials D.D.” Nerve Beats16:01 Cool Sounds “Temper” Gristle18:35 Quivers “Driving Rain” We’ll Go Riding on the Hearses22:04 Ana roxanne “Immortality” ~~~26:01 Primp “I Know Now” Half-Bloom29:19 Clea “Bright Blue” Fairweather33:08 No Home “[A] Lullabye” hello, this is exploitation35:58 Kiss Concert “Shit In My Hand” Look Bad/Feel Bad39:21 RAKTA “Miragem” Falha Comum45:10 Crunchcoat “With You” Mouth b/w With You47:09 Hobby Club “Bedroom” Video Days EP49:29 Frankie Cosmos “Dancing” Haunted Items #151:08 Khiis “Divooneh” Bezoar52:46 REAL THINGS “The Cave” passing showers

sent $$$ this week to The Pink Elephant Project building tiny homes at the 37th and MLK village in oakland.thepinkelephantprojects.com“The Pink Elephant Projects (T.P.E.P.) is an organization that offers unparalleled workmanship on every eco-friendly tiny home which we offer free of cost to our out-priced neighbors in the tent villages throughout Oakland, California. Our first project is at the 37th and MLK Village. Upon reading a quote from an Oakland City Council Member that read "We want to provide tents that last for 5 years…”, we were appalled at the thought that this was the long term plan. According to the, ‘EveryOne Counts! 2019 Homeless Count and Survey’, there are over 8000 people calling the streets of Oakland their home. This is unacceptable on any level considering that the fall and winter seasons can be brutal for tents. After reading the deluge of articles surrounding The Village, T.P.E.P. decided to take advantage of an outlet to help. T. P. E. P. approached The Village and its advocate, Stefanie, about building adequate shelters to replace the tents, and a mutual relationship was built.“DOWNLOAD RECORDINGsubscribe to the podcast here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/5432fun(intro by omar)JODY "June” JuneSHEER MAG “Expect The Bayonet” Need to Feel Your LoveSurfer Rosie “Chugger” EP 186 GEMINI “PARADISE” S/T C/SCrystal Eyes “Already Gone” The Female ImaginationJoy Cleaner “Impossibility For Me” Total Hell4th Curtis “Nobody’s Listening” I Won The PageantMermaidens “Lizard” Perfect BodyBLU SHORTS “Cavity” Blu Wave Musicfirst pet “your house in the center of town” some people are just badShelf Life “Faith in the Weak” YARNCrumb “Recently Played” Locketsupermoon “Secrets in a Small Town” PlaylandMerce Lemon “Do You See This It Is Rough” Ideal for a Light Flow with Your Body100 Watt Horse “Mac 'N Cheese” Live at Heavy Meadowcrumbs “Trapped In A Haircut” Mind Yr MannersCult Fiction “Tired” PissedBless “Chameleon” 7"Pile “hissing for peace” A Hairshirt of PurposeMini Dresses “Center of a Room” Collected Singles and EPsSweet Lil “Smoked Out” Smoked Out

C O L T S are an eclectic amalgamation of musicians with backgrounds spanning an array of genres. The group, formed in Brisbane, Australia features members of WAAX, YELLOWCATREDCAT, Pleasure Symbols, Finance, Average Art Club, Bcharre, FeelsClub and Rattus Rattus.C O L T S have a signature brand of alternative dream pop in which they blend a unique use of choral vocals with winding, interlocking guitars and confessional songwriting – often delving deep into issues of inclusivity and mental health within the industry. Drawing influence from bands such a DIIV, Beach Fossils, Slowdive and Deafcult, fans of grunge pop and shoegaze catharsis will not be left disappointed.With two singles of their 12 part ‘Calendar Collective’ series having been released earlier in the year – January and August – C O L T S have been exploring the depths of their sound; contrasting clever, interlocking and airy guitar lines with raw, powerful and intense vocals. Both singles received extensive media attention with additions to local playlists such as 4zzz’s Best New Local Music and international streaming playlists such as Apple Music’s Best of the Week and Alternative A list to name a few.Since their debut performance late last year, C O L T S have been captivating crowds with their energetic and immersive live sets that combine wet, guitar-heavy walls of sound with a driving rhythm section, delivered in a clean cut and easy to digest pop format. Having only a handful of shows under their belt as this project, C O L T S have still managed to sell out or pack every venue they have performed at thus far – sharing the bill with local Australian favourites such as Major Leagues, WHARVES and WAAX as well as international acts such as Mermaidens.Find Colts online:https://www.facebook.com/C-O-L-T-S-288529835201294/https://www.instagram.com/coltsmusic/https://open.spotify.com/track/1rOxUozywPXZMAdRAYNl7nhttps://youtu.be/jDWqFZ9WPGQSubscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY, or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK or TWITTERFind out more about Yonder online at yonderfestival.comTheme music by Your Man Alex Smith find more of his work on Facebook, Bandcamp, Spotify & iTunes

Mermaidens and ONONO Interview by Ashley Heydon on Radio One 91fm Dunedin

During their tour of Australia, I got to to sit down with 2 of the members of NZ band Mermaidens and discuss some really important stuff, like this one video of this machine that plays music with marbles I saw this one time.

Last Friday Mermaidens released Perfect Body, the Wellington band's first album on Flying Nun. We gave guitarist/singer Gussie Larkin a sound recorder in the week leading up to the release, to give an insight into what can be a busy, anxious, and giddy time for a band.
