Somehow we managed to miss this! Basically I missed it in the contents and have been browsing @electronicsound.bsky.social for the last week and here we are. Thanks so much to @stateofbassuk.bsky.social for this lovely review! We are chuffed to bits. #electronicmusic #oxfordmusic #oxfordmusicscene

Review in Electronic Sound that reads Oxford's audiovisual duo Tim and Jeremy Day create stripped-back, analogue electro-funk with deadpan spoken word, that sits somewhere on the nexus of The Normal, LFO and Paranoid London, Dark, sweaty and brilliantly constructed, 'Joy' brings insistent minimal grooves with counter rhythms picked out by repetitive modular melodies.
Continually threatening full-blown acid house explosions, it pulls back in a perfect display of less is more. The standouts, 'Zero' and 'Black Light', brilliantly explore the shades between suffocation and celebration. MJ

What I like about bsky is if you are confused about pterosaurs you can actually ask an expert and not get swamped by reply guys.

I should add I'm not trying to do a "debate me bro" or anything, I'm just an ordinary man who is slightly confused about azhdarchid pterosaurs.

Again I know that e.g. swans have long necks that stick out the front but Azhdarchids look like they have much heavier heads. So...how? Were all those structures really that light? Hoping that @markwitton.bsky.social or @tetzoo.bsky.social can find time to answer but anyone really.

I've also read this royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... which kind of answers the question for something like Pteranodon, but it looks like Azhdarchids had *much* longer (and heavier?) heads and necks.

Tim Day @timday101.bsky.social · 8d

My question is really more about neck and head length. Especially sonething like Hatzegopteryx has quite a thick neck and sizeable head and loks as if it might just....tip over forwards and nosedive

So DinoSky can someone help me I have questions about Azhdarchids. I've read for example this markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2018/05/why-... and it seems pretty clear they could fly - why woudl they need such radically lightened bones if they couldn't? etc

Why we think giant pterosaurs could fly

His work would have to succeed before he was eligible. That is his tragedy.

So yeah the “more to come”. We are super happy with this review from Oxfordshire Music Scene it’s all there. Dystopian disco, eroded acid lines, club ready body blows, “a minimal, industrial slab of post-capitalist catharsis”. It’s like they get us #oxfordmusic #oxfordmusicscene

If you grew up male, but always had a different fashion sense and got along better with female family members, and had a non specific yearning in the back of your head, you really need to hear this: one week left to enroll in extended updates for Windows 10
