Today I learned that LEGO has a program where you can send them your old LEGO (bricks, pieces, mini-figs, etc). LEGO will then take them in, wash / sterilize them, and donate them to children in need!

They even pay for the shipping for you.

If you want to know more, you can check out their website here: https://www.lego.com/en-us/sustainability/environment/replay

Looks like Tumblr is having issues and Fedi is getting another wave of new folks.

Welcome to the Fediverse, new folks!

A couple tips:

Boost freely

Try to put up for yourself an introduction post with the hashtag or or both listing stuff you're interested in

Use hashtags freely, they help folks find you and what you're posting!

Use Alt-Text in your pictures. It helps a lot!

So, as @miona is still on hiatus, we aren't getting a prompt this week.

So, I'll just post some random @ocremix tune.

Here's an older favorite of mine, it's a jazz remix / remake of the 2 overworld theme by Estradasphere. And it is so well done.

Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CotqYivpqmw

Okay, so I have a appointment today. Something I always do literally right before going to the dentist is brush my teeth and floss. One last brush through before I go.

Am I an oddball? Or do others do that too?

Vote in the & to help signal boost.

For shame.

I haven't seen a theme yet for @miona's , so as I forgot to post something for last week, I'll do that this week.

But instead, I'll be bonus stage adjacent cause...I'm weird.

When you plug non-Sonic games into Sonic & Knuckles, you'll be able to play a random Bonus Stage from the main game. If you put in Sonic 1, you can do all of them. But first, a "No Way" screen pops up with some fun music. Here's that music and screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zILpjFqlOak

This week for , @miona picked my theme of !

Time to pick up some nostalgic video game music.

Normally, this is where I go with a Sonic game. Not today.

Let's travel back to the early 90s when I had borrowed a copy of Bart vs the Space Mutants from a friend. That is the NES / Master System game where Bart is battling aliens that have invaded Springfield. It's...dumb, but I can't forget some of these tunes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLjxJ48UBgY

Today is and as @miona still isn't fully back from her hiatus, I'm going to throw out as an idea to post for this week.

Cause why not.

Since feels like for Mario, let's do the music from Delfino Plaza. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYdRWC6MCgM

It really does have that vacation-y feel to it.

This week's Tune Tuesday from @Kitty has a theme of "Sing It" from @pgs - songs whose lyrics have a special meaning to you.

For me that's going to be Coheed and Cambra's "Wake Up," the acoustic version first heard on the Snakes on a Plane soundtrack. Yes, seriously. https://songwhip.com/coheed-and-cambria/wake-up-acoustic

While not `00% lining up with my life, I sang this version as a lullaby to my children when they were infants changing the lyrics slightly to account for when I had to travel for work or leave my kids knowing, saying I would always return to them.

This week for @Kitty's Tune Tuesday @derthomas gave us a theme of "The Opener." We remember the first acts / songs we saw live.

Apart from kid's stuff, like Sesame Street Live, the first concert I went to was in 1994 for Billy Joel's River of Dreams tour. My parent's took me and all of my siblings (at the time).

I distinctly remember two things: the song "River of Dreams" and my brother sleeping through the entire concert. That's about it. https://songwhip.com/billy-joel/the-river-of-dreams

To be fair, that was 30 years ago...

EDIT: Added one more memory.

This week's from @Kitty has a theme of from @HailsandAles. Love the hashtag.

Now, for me, I know it's a basic answer - but The Eagles "Hotel California" always gets my air guitar going. https://songwhip.com/eagles/hotel-california1980

Can't control it.

But, just...growing up, I was always more of an air drummer or air saxophonist than air guitarist. :Hehe:

Today's Tune Tuesday from @Kitty has a theme of "Dance Like No One's Watching" from @satsuma.

This...this is my moment.

I love dancing to music.

Let's start off with a dance music banger from Solar of Mamamoo with DJ Harry entitled, "Paradise." https://songwhip.com/solar/paradise

This song dropped in December 2022 as the theme song for the DJ survival show "World EDM Trend." It's been on my playlists since.

mdmrn,
@mdmrn@urusai.social avatar

I'm going to stop with four...for now, because otherwise I'd keep going likely in perpetuity.

This is my moment. Dancing music.

For people of a certain age, like myself, when House of Pain's "Jump Around" comes on - you feel compelled to literally jump around and groove.

So, please. Do so. https://songwhip.com/house-of-pain/jump-around2022
