There was 150ish there
3:56am. About to cycle to a bar in the dead of night, wearing a shirt with a 23 year old Brazilian millionaire’s name on the back to watch him run up and down an exquisitely manicured paddock for 90 mins.
Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli
After that absolute peach of a goal against Lyon, I said "Fuck it" and ordered a Mariona 8 shirt.
“Saka agrees new contract” is doing the rounds today.
Wow, what a great performance. Mariona! ❤️

When Arsenal striker Kai Havertz stepped up to take a penalty against Bournemouth last season, it felt like his career was a crossroads. The German forward had joined Arsenal from their London rivals Chelsea for a hefty £60 million transfer fee, but he still hadn’t found the back of the net. And critics were questioning whether all that money had been a waste.
But when Havertz smashed the penalty into the bottom left corner and wheeled away to celebrate, 40,000 Arsenal supporters erupted into a brand new song—a remix of Shakira’s 2010 World Cup hit “Waka Waka,” with new, bespoke lyrics: “sixty million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again.”
The Arsenal fans were serenading their new striker and laughing at his critics by saying: “who’s a waste of money now?”
This bizarre scene exemplifies a European football tradition that has evolved into a folk art form over decades, particularly in the English Premier League. Every weekend, supporters fill stadiums with complex, often w
Albo needs to immediately requisition CA$8000 9031 dollarydoos worth of Vegemite from the strategic national Vegemite reserve. Then send the SAS to Canada riding some attack kangaroos with the Vegemite in their pouches, to restock the poor bugger’s shelves
4am wake up call coming up again. Hope this week is going to be worth it.
Destroyer - Hydroplaning Off the Edge of the World
New track from Mr Bejar and co. New album coming in March.
The name of the band is an obvious nod to Smashing Pumpkins, of course!
Rocket - Take Your Aim
The recommendation algorithm served this band from LA up for me today. Solid track with distinct Siamese Dream vibes, perhaps? The EP they released in 2023, that this track is also on, is quite good.
They have apparently signed with Transgressive, so I would expect that an album is on the way.
I just noticed the podcast rec. Thanks. I am liking the new Lucy Dacus songs that are being drip fed out, too.
I have enjoyed the other songs they have. No all time favourites, so far, but enjoyable. They will probably have another album out soon, so let's see.
He defintely knows how to write a good tune.
Royel Otis - Murder on the Dancefloor #covers25
5 February is over and so is International Covers Day but I'll just sneak in one more.
Here's Sydney's Royel Otis with their version of the Sophile Ellis-Bextor hit, "Murder On the Dancefloor" It's catchy. So is the original, actually.
Thanks @perishthethought@lemm.ee & @MelonYellow@lemmy.ca for also contributing songs and thanks to commenters, too.
James McNicholas says:
Arsenal were contacted by intermediaries to assess their interest in signing Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich. Although they are aware of Tel’s credentials, they did not view him as a No 9, and felt his relative lack of experience might make it difficult for him to make an impact at the season’s climax.
Hi all. If you pay for Parcel Post online but don't have a printer, can you go to the PO and get them to print it out for you?
This is actually a really bad problem because I thought that certain communities I am a member of are quite active but coming in from aussie.zone, they look completely dead. It was making me start to switch off from Lemmy.
I just realised this was happening and is a tech issue rather than an engagement with Lemmy as a platform issue. I wish it was fixed.
Pink Champagne - Söndagsskolehyckel
There are 3 tracks in this YT upload from the 7" single from the Swedish feminist punk band:
This ties in with my recent post about Pink Champagne's guitarist's future band, Curious (Yellow).
The Church - Under The Milky Way
Seeing as I just posted a song adjacent to to The Church, it would be remiss of me to not add this classic to the annals of this Lemmy Community.
Curious (Yellow) - Taken By Surprise
Do you like The Church? Curious (Yellow) was the band that was led by Karin Jansson, ex-partner of Steve Kilbey, and mother of two of his children. He gets credited for performing on this song, and others on the album it is from, Charms and Blues. He's also listed as the, "Producer, Executive Producer"
I used to own a cassette copy of Charms and Blues. It just occurred to me today to see if a video exists from back in the day and here it is.
Shikisai Puzzle - shikijitsu
My continued exploration down the rabbit hole of international dreamgaze has led me to Japan's Shikisai Puzzle (シキサイパズル). It's hard to find info but they appear to have released a 2014 album that this track is from and a follow-up mini-album. Both are on Spotify. The album is also on Youtube.
Beat Happening - Foggy Eyes
Beat Happening was an American indie pop band formed in Olympia, Washington, in 1982. Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis, and Bret Lunsford have been the band's continual members. Beat Happening were early leaders in the American indie pop and lo-fi movements, noted for their use of primitive recording techniques, disregard for the technical aspects of musicianship, and songs with subject matters of a carefree or coy nature.
Anna Erhard - Botanical Garden
Probably the funnest song I have heard in a long while from Swiss, Berlin based, Anna Erhard.
My First Club ❤️ | Lotte Wubben-Moy
This is a lovely segment, IMO

Quivers - Apparition
"Oyster Cuts" is out August 9 on Merge Records: https://lnk.to/OysterCuts
Nice tune from Quivers who are from Melbourne, Australia. Having recently signed with Merge Records, they have released this single. There's a (not so subtle) nod to Pavement in there. There is also an album on the way.

Great to see a good looking, HD version of this video.
I was minded to look it up today, after ordering a vinyl copy of a re-issue of The Sundays' debut album. The album that Goodbye is from came out a couple of years later and I still remember hearing it as the lead single and being completely floored by its sound; the guitars, lyrics, chord structure and that voice.
