It’d be hard to overstate how influential Mike Dirnt was on me as a young kid learning how to play bass. Really fun to see him geek out on some of the great material he has put out over the years.
Manchester Orchestra – Union Chapel (London, England)
https://embed.music.apple.com/us/album/union-chapel-london-england/1870686933
Manchester Orchestra has released a live record recorded in Union Chapel in England, and it is absolutely wonderful. Andy moves effortless through some songs. It really is a delight.
This is record is released on the heels of the unexpected death of the bands drummer, Tim Very. Andy wrote a nice letter following his death, and it sounds like there is quite a bit to be excited about as a Manchester Orchestra fan through the rest of the year.
Star Wars Galaxy Map
A fun post for a Lazy Sunday: Star Wars published a fun canonical map of the universe. Good way to kill a few minutes.
Spiritbox Rig Rundown
These Rig Rundown videos are always great to see how modern band tour and set up their sound, but this Spiritbox video has completely blown my mind. I had no idea that they are digitally shirting tuning mid-song, and then just playing perfectly through the delay it causes. That is absolutely insane to me.
KINDA HARD – Bilmuri
Bilmuri’s new record KINDA HARD came out a few weeks ago, and its a great addition to their catelogue. The whole record is plays it a bit safe though, and I think they’re best when they’re at their weirdest (looking at you Eggy Pocket). Nevertheless, theres some great stuff on here. In particular, the end run of the album from “BACK, THEN” to “WAVES” really showcases how vulnerable John can be in these songs and they hit.
AFI – Nooneunderground
I know I’ve probably posted one or two too many times about AFI and their latest record Silver Bleeds the Black Sun, but thats only because its really great. That they’re still releasing music videos this late into the album cycle must also indicate that its doing well for them too. The song is one of my favorites on the album, and the music video is artsy and weird. Love it. Love the 4:3 aspect ratio, too.
L.I.V.E. in Sao Paulo – Bring Me The Horizon
Bring Me The Horizon’s live show has just gotten better and better in the past few years. They’ve released a live show to 50,000 fans in Sao Paulo, and an accompanying DVD of the performance as well. I bought the DVD since I don’t think they made the file available to watch online. Its great, so if you’re on the fence – just buy it.
On the other hand: BMTH what are you doing? Just let me download the video for a fee.
Clayface | Official Teaser
DC’s super hero movies tend to be pretty hit-or-miss, but I’ll be damned if this one doesn’t look great. The Batman villain Clayface done as a body-horror film? Sign me up.
Physicists Discover The Most Complex Forms of Ice Yet
Some fun physics on a Lazy Sunday. Did you know Ice has many different physical solid states? We even recently found more!
The Window Chrome of Our Discontent from Pixel Envy
I know I’ve previously let it be known that I generally like macOS 26, but boy is it hard to ignore how some of Apple’s own apps have degraded over the years. Look at Pages on OSX Lion. Its usable!
