I braved the outside and I have sweaty regrets
Kind of glad uni fieldwork ended early today, I’m so fried. Bad news is some setbacks re method, good news is we’ve gotten a lot more context and some real direction with where to go from here. It’s late in the scheme of things but at least this project feels more real now, for all its numerous flaws
Cool. 🙂
I don’t use spotify but I think I’ll spare everyone my music ‘wrap’ today :)
But this is for the Studspud:
Jumping from chilli to chilli leaving a wake of aphid destruction. The leaf curl you see could be aphids… or used be heh.
Good to see them in there on their own accord.
THANK YOUUUUU!!! So pretty 😍😍😍
Here’s my kid’s top artists. She won’t show her songs because Ariana Grande is on there and she’s embarrassed and rightly so.
You’ve taught your kid well if this is your influence! I went through phases discovering each of these bands. Aaah good times. My most prized vinyl in my collection is The Queen Is Dead, original 1986 pressing.
She is impressed as much as a teenager can be.
Her: I’m so glad you parents aren’t normal. My friends mums listen to Fox fm and shit but you guys play cool stuff.
Husband and I look at each other: I think that’s a compliment dear.
The queen is DEAD
My Spotify wrapped has been disappointing me over the past few years. I used to have such an eclectic music taste, but getting older I’m listening to what’s familiar to me a bit too much. I don’t like the complacency.
Going to spend the next few weeks saving some new music to listen over the holidays, and listening to albums I’ve saved over the year but never bothered to listen. Currently listening to Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk, for fans of synth-pop and prog-rock this one is for you.
IMO Wrapped doesn’t really handle eclectic tastes really well. Makes the results seem super random.
Ahaha, mine is out of control.
Top songs were all songs in English by non-English artists: Thai, Cambodian, Taiwanese and Korean.
My top artists were: Tanerélle, Limi, WIM, Sleep Token and Keshi. 🤣
I forgot I listened to so much Tanerélle this year.
But I listen to such a wide variety, it’s not really a surprise.
You might like Can if you’re a fan of prog rock
Spotify recommends stuff you already play so that’s why I ask the DT for new stuff. The only new artist that I really really like is Dua Lipa.
Dua Lipa, Chappell Roan, Charlie XCX, and Olivia Rodrigo are really great! Can’t recommend Chappell enough!!
The first I’ve heard of Chapelle roan was this year’s “good luck babe”. I don’t mind some charli stuff (1999 ♥️) I do not like Olivia Rodrigo
Any Chappell songs you recommend?
Um like her whole album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
I can’t really pick an absolute favourite, the whole album is just an experience. A Femininomenon, so to speak 😂 start at the start and enjoy!
My kid plays stuff like this in the car where I can’t escape. She said the other day, talking about Azealia Banks “She has good songs but gee she’s a crazy bitch”.
Oh yeah Azealia is a wild lady on social media 😂😂 but she does have some really great tracks too!
The good artists are always crazy
Mine was all Käärijä and Chappell Roan 😂 I think I will also have to expand my listening and see what pops up next year lol!
Now that’s eclectic! I was expecting Chappell in my top 5, but no. I swear I thrashed her album this year.
My partner is seriously obsessed with her 😂 and so am I!
Every song is a banger, and I fucking love that I can tell what her musical inspirations are in each song.
Good Luck Babe is such a vibe, but my fav is My Kink is Karma -chefs kiss-
Discover weekly and the radio channels (where you click the radio button based on a specific song and it plays more songs like it) are how I find a lot of new music
I put it on as background noise while I’m doing other things and if I start bobbing my head, I probably like a song
Bloody hell. Today was a tough walk down the street
So many people smoking. Evidently today must be rubbish day or something cause everybody had their bins out and they all reeked
31° with thick smokey air and steamed rubbish and rotting milk stench everywhere

I was given my prezzie early and have been having great fun with it in between work things. Think I’ll break the cultural loading and make my own book choices though.
Must haves Hungry Caterpillar, Grug, Mr Grumpy, Smoke & Fluff. Other ideas welcome. Needs to be recognisable at 9x14mm
Fungus the Bogeyman.
The Magic Pudding.
Snugglepot and Cuddlepie.I’m unfalimar with Fungus, but recall Where the Wind Blows and Tin Pot General.
I love this! I was planning on gifting one (a book book) this year.
If it’s the same brand, I can recommend. Nice clean punch outs and they duplicate some of the tiniest likely breaks.
That looks fantastic
Maybe kilroy peeking over:
Ooh, yes! Maybe Hagar the Horrible & Garfield also
edit. ohh book choices! oops.
Obelix and Asterix?
Another good one! If I can achieve it at scale…
I LOVE miniatures. You’ve done a great job!
The ones I can think of are Possum Magic, Mulga Bill’s Bicycle, Dr Seuss, Winnie the Pooh.
I don’t play any music services , just play LPs, youtube and my itunes
my most popular plays would be The New World soundtrack, Argylle soundtrack, Hobbit, Dune, some wagner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0l6xfQpgt0
And I play every single music recommendation youse guys post. 🙂
You are such a cool cat 💜
thank you 🙂
And I play every single music recommendation youse guys post
I’m so sorry for the Käärijä spam 😂😂😂
I love it all 😘
Up ~20k minutes on last year
We share a single family streaming account, so these recaps never work for me. The kids pollute the data.
My son goes to sleep listening to music, so my top artist with 449 hours was a guy who just sits and plays piano.my top artist is phil dragash 😶🌫️
There’s some caro emerald in there too, thanks to your recco last year. I got super into her stuff late last year (as I think I told you), but mostly after the Spotify wrapped cut off date, which is why she’s not super high this year
Ha! I had the impression you didn’t think much of her after that chat. You’re in an exclusive club now of being one of the only Australians who knows who she is - though she was pretty big in Europe at the time. Now that the kids are both playing instruments, this sort of music is getting played a bit on our end, also.
I love how hardly anything in your top songs was released after your birth.
Nah, not at all, I loved pretty much the entire deleted scenes album, and a handful of others!
She’s my 9th most listened to artist of the last 365 days
Caro Emerald is a treasure! There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Lol Baku. I actually know of all these artists.
Same… Are you really an old man Baku?
ABBA gives it away.
ABBA was huge when I was a teen and the biggest demographic of fans then was old people, at least 40. No teen ever copped to buying ABBA records.
So that would make Baku at 85+
😂
ABBA had a resurgence when I was 15 so could make Baku anywhere between 40 - 80.
Also Baku is buying an ABBA vinyl, which implies he owns a vinyl player. Baku is 40-80 confirmed.
Tried to buy* they cancelled my order
No vinyl player as yet. I also own a prisoner VHS set (although only 9 episodes), but don’t have a VHS player (the house used to have one, other kid stole it on his way out)
Caution: Old people natter.
Aka turntable or record player.
The thing is you can’t dance too close to it or you’ll make the needle jump. Iykyk
Just gonna leave these here then…
Have you heard this one?
Sure have!
Have you heard this one? https://youtu.be/Byq35qpZ3wA
Baku is actually a 40yo - confirmed 😂
We need to find out whether Baku has ever yelled at clouds.
Yeah
Like 70% of my general music listening is stuff I’d be concerned if you didn’t know. I have an old people music playlist I spend a lot of time on
same!
Cosby Sweater is a fucking banger! Love that song so much - I impressed my partner when I could sing it all without the music 😂
You have good taste!
Edit:
KARMA KARMA KARMA KARMA
KARMA CHAMELEON
YOU COME AND GOOOO
YOU COME AND GOOOOOOOOOOOLOVING WOULD BE EASY IF YOUR COLOURS
WERE LIKE MY DREAMS
RED GOLD AND GREEEN
RED GOLD AND GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEN^also a major banger^
omg, I’ve always loved Culture Club, I still have their albums I bought in the 80s.
Boy George always came across as a strong presence, artistic, smart and a really nice guy. That smile, eh. 🙂
When I was a kid I thought it was a Christmas song because of the red gold and green lyrics 😂
England has a thing for white reggae bands.
Thanks!
It was my 4th top last year
And 18th top in 2022
Baku. You would love our Friday night playlists. We have the same taste in music dude. Well done.
Eh, skews a bit Aussie for me. Most of my pre-2000s listening is foreign. I know/like some of it, but mostly I’m just sat here confused
I’ll reply to both your comments here. Not old people’s taste. Good taste yeah. The fact you have House of the Rising Sun makes my heart swell with pride.
I know you didn’t ask for it but here’s a few recommendations that I think you’ll like and know: T - Rex, Steve Miller Band, Talking Heads, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, 10cc.
Keep up the good work friend.
Tom Petty is awesome.
100% agree
T-Rex, Steve Miller Band, and Talking Heads are just fantastic classics!
I can think of 100 other bands like CCR, The Who, Bread.

PACKIDGE COMING TODAY
FUCK YEAAAAAAH
Yay!
Mine are still sitting “in transit” in my suburb :(
Packages I ordered from china 3 days later are almost here though. Cleared customs today, ETA: tomorrow
Hung out the first load of washing just before 8 am, and it was quite brisk.
Hung out the 2nd load about 20 minutes ago and can feel the approaching heat.
Stay cool and hydrated everyone.
When the mrs leaves for work I gotta run around and close all the damn blinds again. no matter how many times I tell her, no matter i’m the one whos home all day she thinks we need “light”.
We have the opposite issue at times. My wife will close curtains and roller shutters at like 7 pm in the warm months and put lights on…when it’s still daylight outside.
Nah im with your wife. Mine will go “but its still light outside!” ignoring the fact that its still 38 outside too. Lightbulbs cheaper to run than pushing the AC harder.
I open curtains as much as possible in spring because light disinfects and light is good for mood
once it’s hot days in summer I can close them a bit
On hot days the blinds stay down usually. I prefer a naturally cooled house to AC.
😎🍸
taught tinyset to “cheers” last night. thought it was gonna take a while over a couple of days but he kept stopping eating dinner to do it. He doesnt always say cheers, but about 50% of the time he does. thank god i was drinking water or i’d be under the table!
It’s funny how they copy you and how literal they are. I wanted my son to close the recycling so I closed it with my foot because that was easier for me, I thought he’d push it closed with his hands at his height. Nope, he had to try push the recycling closed with his foot as well
Oh yeah you gotta be super careful with how you act hey. Terrified of him learning to drive like his mum.
They’re so adorable at that age! Brains are literal sponges and it’s just amazing to see them grow and get smarter and smarter! I think your raising a fine lil dude!
you arnt wrong. hes recently started to work on communication, not just saying words. He will sometimes try copy what you say, he wants to learn the pets names. its crazy how he went from a crying potato last year to this confident toddler in like 12 months.
it’s so crazy when they reach that stage! Practicing communication, wonder at the world around them!
Crying potato 😂
That’s adorable!
I lost my birth certificate AND my passport so I had to jump on Vic Birth Death Marriages website and jump through hoops (on my own end) to order a new birth certificate. My god what a horrible, unintuitive website. I have no idea if I’ve done it correctly or if it is being processed now or not.
I had to do that too a few years ago, because mum lost my actual birth certificate and I only had the extract, which is useless for everything.
Pain in the ass tbh, and gathering from this their website is still a pile of steaming shit. Sorry man, just commiserating because it sucks assssss
Ugh, yeah, I have to go sort my id too
Not only do I have to go out this morning but I have to go to the post office. Make this a quick death please.
At least the weather is nice today.
It was good. It was quick. In, out. Everybody’s satisfied. Smoko.
LEAVE ME ALONE I’M ON SMOKO!
SO LEAVE ME ALONE
I’M ON SMOKO
^same lol^
