Then you'll be happy to know it's on my full HM list too.

Right? Smashing band, and I'll definitely be featuring them on my main list in the next challenge.

MJMcG (he/they) @mjmcg.bsky.social · 8h

Yeah, it was definitely nomimated by another person, and I let them know as well, so as to make sure they didn't waste a slot. Banger tune though, both this and the original.

I love it when ol' Melty-B goes pop. I'll make sure not to leave them off my main list next time though.

I think we go by the release date of the original track with regard to remixes, making this a 2019 track.

Both have some excellent dramatic arcs, but the main focus is on a bunch of pals having a great time doing roleplay.

Rude Tales Of Magic for DnD-lite shenanigans, and Critical Bits for superheroic antics. Special mention for the epic Spider Day episodes of the latter - hours-long standalone episodes with a cast of (not quite) thousands giving top-shelf nonsense.

"What's that mate? Nah, no puppies here. Just me, a lovely fat round bee. You can probably step away from the dog treats for a minute, pal."

A photograph of a round, friendly bee. It is probably not worth noting that the bee is a plushy and has a hole in the middle, through which a small canine snout can be seen. There are also four white-socked puppy paws in shot. Actually, I'm beginning to suspect that this is a ruse.

Halloween is almost upon us so I'm going to post some MONSTERS! Here's one of my contributions to the themonsterproject.org, a project where kids create hundreds of monsters & artists from all over the world put their spin on them.

This was 2017 & the original artist is Reagan!

A 2d colour pencil drawing, a green monster with a red tail, blue and red horns and multiple eyes is in the centre of the page, with a bright yellow moon and black night sky

A3D CGI interpretation of the previous image. Exterior, night in some woods. A father and their kid are sat around a campfire, the kid is excitedly reading from a book of monsters and the Dad is looking up in terror as a giant green monster with multiple eyes bursts out from the bushes

I was not expecting to see something this delectably sludgy get a couple of nominations, so I simply have to throw another log on that fire.

WHY - CHAT PILE (2022) 🇺🇸

My favorite song of all the songs I learned from Peoples Pop. An absolute perfect hardcore song.

#THETWEN2IE5, Day 2: Altın Gün - Leylim Ley (2023)

I chose alphabetic order and by chance the two Turkish-language psychedelic tracks I picked are both from acts with an A. So we keep up the vibes from yesterday with this track from my Amsterdam hometown heroes Altın Gün.

Yeah, this is hardly the "small round portion of bread" naming controversy. They were woodlice and nothing else for me too.

This is how I'll be doing all of my 5 HM showcase tunes, incidentally - QRPs of people who already posted them. Then I'll wang a full list of 50 in an email, since there have already been a huge number of bangers I forgot/didn't know about.

I'm a recent convert to The Gizz, and I love how fast and loose they play the genre game. This track is just a smashing rock belter.

Somebody needs to upload footage of drive-in classic Attack of the Giant Gila Monster set to this. May well have to be me...
I believe this is their only song that renders their stupid name apt

Isn't it? It's a very good album all round - very unusual, but a lot of fun.

Noodle has now reached 4 months in age and 4 kilos in weight. He has also become a bit of a local celebrity. We can't take him out without him being mobbed by his new fans. Thankfully, he is taking it well and hasn't let it go to his head.

Noodle the shiborgi lying on his back, propped up between the couch and his Halloween Corgis blanket. He is half awake with a goofy expression on his silly little face, and his forepaws are held up bunny-style.
