The idea of kiwi petrol station worker contemplating getting a TV repaired speaks volumes about what's changed in Aotearoa over the last 40-50 years.

One of the cowboy faces the band are wearing looks a bit like Dubya Bush. Who became governor of Texas around the time this video was being made. Confidence?
"I gotta think of something to say besides 'fuck'. I think you can say 'fuck', it's a free country. Oh I'm sorry, that's right, you almost probably can't get an abortion soon, and then you won't be able to say 'fuck'. I just wanna say, you should be able to have a fucking abortion, that's right."

This selection has an abrasive edge, and I wasn't in the right mood for it the first time I tried to listen. But tonight, it was just the ticket. The call to action at the end is brilliant.

Thanks for the shout out on the podcast @bsots! I've been going through a challenging time, and it really made my day to hear that : )

FYI "Stand up" is geek jargon, for setting up a new server. To "stand up an instance of Mastodon", is to set up a new server running a copy of the Mastodon software.

If you were not lucky enough to remember - as I wasn't before Chris Fowlie mentioned it on Marijuana Media - now you know : )
Go see some live music this month!
What I get out of it, as well as the warm fuzzies of giving financial support to artists I like, is the satisfaction of building and sharing a record collection. Without having to own physical media.
#Listening to What's The Frequency, Kenneth?

The big single off the 1994 R.E.M album Monster. I still don't really understand what this song is about, but it has a great use of delay on the fuzz guitar, and some great lyrics;
"You wore our expectations like an armored suit"
"A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth"
"You been livin' in a golden age
It was the last thing you expected
Ya took ya sanity for granted
Now it lies tragically neglected"
"Trying to erase the silence
Ever since your rhythm got blown away
Crawlin' through the wreckage of your rendering room
To meet your hidden-half way"

There's a track that starts with a posh-sounding gentlemen trying to interview passers-by about shirts. It's not surprising that these folks shared personnel with Monty Python, in the form of Neil Innes.
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes
