Daft Punk and French house music deserve heritage status, says Macron

Cupcake Smith @cupcakemojito.bsky.social · Jun 24

I support this! Between this and Berlin techno gaining UNESCO intangible heritage status last year, I can truthfully say that my musical taste is extremely cultured. 🪩 🇫🇷 🪩

The president of France is calling on Unesco to give the disco-influenced genre the same status as Jamaican reggae and Irish harp music

Nitzer Ebb - "Blood Money" Seattle 2009

Cupcake Smith @cupcakemojito.bsky.social · Jun 12

This is a really good recording (not mine) of "Blood Money" from the only Nitzer Ebb show I went to.
An epic example of what EBM is: loud, thumping, and sexy.

Wow, what a sad week in music. RIP, to another great one, Douglas McCarthy.
Nitzer Ebb and Fixmer/McCarthy are a couple of my favorites.

My favorite show when I was a kid was ALF, and this song will never not make me think of ALF and his Melmacian girlfriend, Rhonda.

Daisy Mae is too young to imbibe, but I'm not. It's time to "turnip" with some prosecco and sweet tunes on this beautiful Sunday.

A stemless wine glass that says "On Sundays We Turnip", a play on words and the character shown on the glass, Daisy Mae from the video game 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons'. Daisy Mae shows up for a brief period every Sunday morning to sell you turnips. With a full glass of prosecco, Daisy Mae is ready to "turn up", har har!

I'm home alone this weekend, that means I've got the record player going all weekend long! I haven't had a chance to sit and play some records in a few weeks, so I'm excited to queue up a bunch.
First record for June is, fittingly, 'Pony' by Orville Peck. Happy Saturday and Happy Pride, y'all! 🏳️‍🌈

Chiming in here after the fact, but I do hope there is another opportunity to show "Amadeus". I have really fond memories of watching this movie as a kid on cable, where it was shown with an intermission (this was before VCRs) and would ❤️ to see it on the big screen!

My vote is for "Bottle Rocket"!

Thanks for another awesome Retro Night @majesticbay.bsky.social! It was amazing to see the beautiful "Marie Antoinette" on the big screen! An incredible film, an amazing soundtrack, and fun vibes all around! Loved hearing from the owner, Kenny, about the history of the theater before the movie!

I didn't intentionally put on another soundtrack, but now I'm thinking today should be "Soundtrack Sunday".

Side B of the Cowboy Bebop double LP soundtrack is sublime. 🤩

Our local movie theater started doing "Retro Night" a few months back, so we had the awesome opportunity to see "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" on the big screen last night. So cool! Thanks to @majesticbay.bsky.social for being so rad, you're another reason we love our neighborhood so much! 🤩

My son had his annual check-up today. Since bearded dragons are so small, they use an ultrasonic Doppler flow detector instead of a stethoscope to check their heart rate. ❤️❤️❤️
Nacho did great and the vet verified his good boy status. 😍

I was getting major Rick Steves vibes right away with this, then Ken says he used the bus to travel from university to his family in Edmonds, and my mind was blown. If Ken and Rick aren't buddies in real life, they certainly are in my fan fiction. 😊
