The word is Xmas
Sun 60, “Mary Xmess” from "Only" (1993)
(C’mon, this qualifies - they just made a pun.)
This track is such a refreshing blast of #PowerPop - and look who’s here, guitar hero #DaveNavarro from already established #alternative darlings #JanesAddiction, and #RedHotChiliPeppers founding drummer, #JackIrons. So it’s no surprise that It was all over the radio in #Boston, and I recall proudly fishing a promo copy of “Only” out of the bin at one of the used #CD stores I frequented back in the day. (Off your moral high horse - I support artists now by buying, not streaming.) This was #Sun60’s second full-length release, and they’d go on to put out one more, but I challenge you to walk down the street today wherever you are and find one person who recognizes this band by name. This hooky, high energy #guitar rave up should be a classic, not a forgotten track on a forgotten album by a forgotten band.
I'm really starting to fall in love with this band Calva Louise.
"Calva Louise is a multicultural British band from Venezuela, France and New Zealand, aiming at London’s underground live scene and driven by the creative vision of Jess since their beginning, end of 2016."
They sing in English and Spanish.
Check out their album, Over The Threshold, on YouTube Music:
We've got about 6 weeks left in the year and I'm feeling short on albums for the year. Again. Last year I ended up with only about 2/3rd of typical album count. I'm at about 1/2 of normal for 2023.
What am I missing?
(Also, in case you don't regularly follow me, I've create a badly written[1] but much beloved[2] "best albums of the year" list every year since 2007: https://bradwilson.io/music/)

Ich wünsche euch einen schönen #Samstag meine #Mastonauten und #Gamer:innen, gestern haben wir live auf #Twitch#Coromon beendet.

Here's a selection of items available in my etsy shop, there's a lot of earrings, some bags, and even some needle minders for embroidery!
To celebrate my birth month, there's also 25% off everything on my etsy until the end of October, and if your order is a physical one, you'll also get an extra item for free, as well as the usual tea and stickers that go out with all orders from me.
I am still trying to set up a Pi-hole for me. One option is obviously a RPI, but for a simple DNS resolve the 4B is way too overpowered and therefore overpriced imo.
I already found the NanoPi NEO3-LTS and NanoPi R2C Plus very fitting, although I don't like the limited or just nonexistent software support.
Any recommendations for a small, cheap, power efficient SBC with at least Gigabit Ethernet, a SD-Card slot and USB-C for power?
Released in August 1989 as the lead single from their seventh studio album, "Violator".
The song was inspired by Priscilla Presley's book "Elvis And Me", as Martin Gore of Depeche Mode reflected on being a Jesus figure for someone else, offering hope and care.
