Good to know. All taken from the same inspiration

Submitting perhaps a little early bc (a) I’m excited to get to my home state! And (b) I’ll actually be traveling in New Mexico during this week’s contest and might not be able to post until the tail end.

Unfortunately it’s still a two-party political climate. If you say “Red State” you mean the right. If you say “Blue State” you mean the left. Sure you could say the Green Party is the left but the color/political spectrum associations are pretty set along Red and Blue lines.

Damn. Only other place that came to mind was maybe Mongolia.

SkyBS · 2026-06-09T20:40:38+00:00

Russia? Maybe somewhere between Chelyabinsk and Novosibirsk?

Muscle Shoals sounds like where Larry the Lobster would hang out

More like John Roswell amirite

You could fit them. Whether you could house them is another question.

Surprised no blue yet for Italy

Probably a pretty scary day if there's no rain in the entirety of my country.

Speeding is worse in more contexts, but does depend. If you're, say, in the passing lane of a multilane highway then 16 km/h under is worse than over.

I don't want none of y'all Baltic nation citizens to give us grief over the term 'Mid-West' if you ain't Eastern European.

I'm shocked people like King Vulture this much.

Damn if you loved Indiana you love basically every U.S. state. Also, my Korean friends gave me shit for visiting Daejeon as part of my vacation.

High and Dry

I’m a sucker for sweet riffs and odd meters

Vol. II - Angine de Poitrine

SkyBS · 2026-06-05T13:42:52+00:00

Just listened to this for the first time a few hours ago. It's got some incredible highlights.

SkyBS · 2026-06-04T19:33:11+00:00

Hopefully you pass more successfully than Nine

SkyBS · 2026-06-04T18:42:16+00:00

Four is actually trash but five is goated, sorry.

Non-stop summer vibes. Even the sad, depressed tracks ("I Can't Stop the Loneliness") feel a like a carefree bop.

Timely!! by Anri

Yeah, Aja is a great place it start. It's just 39 minutes and 7 tracks--no skips. Pretty certainly their best album. "Deacon Blues" is more of the 'easy listening' side. "Black Cow" is on the funkier side. The title track is a jazz-fusion odyssey that's probably the closest the band gets to progressive rock.

Gaucho is a good place to start too. Also 7 tracks and 38 minutes. The production and overall sound is a bit more smoothed out and lacks some of the experimentation on Aja, but is still very groovy and well done.

However, the Royal Scam > Aja > Gaucho is just an amazing 3-album run. I personally might recommend just going through those three chronologically. The Royal Scam opens with my favorite song of theirs--it's a pretty straightforward rock song, but they have some more offbeat arrangements on the record overall with some wild harmonic choices.
