Great tune! I like that some of the pop-punk sounds from 20 years ago seem to be coming back into fashion.

Wonder if they're planning a US tour any time soon?

What forgotten cult classic games are worth revisiting? in c/[email protected]

One of the later SNES games called Secret of Evermore!

It's kind-of a spiritual successor to Secret of Mana, but with a more sci-fi bent.

What is an unpopular game/series you enjoy anyway? in c/[email protected]

I'm late to this party, but you might appreciate the open source Axis and Allies engine called TripleA.

My step-dad was a big WWII history buff, and he had the pc version of Axis and Allies installed on the family computer! Loved it and occasionally fire up TripleA for nostalgia.

Thank you for this! Graeber was my favorite anthropologist, and his work informed my research in grad school.

I departed the academic world years ago, but felt a huge loss for the discipline and for the global left when he passed. Currently working my way (very slowly) through The Dawn of Everything.

Interesting take, but super surprised to find it paired with an Isaac run!

Feelin' Right, by MADRIQ (madriq.bandcamp.com)
 

I'm a live sound engineer, and when out-of-town artists ask me about my favorite local acts, this band is in the top two.

I've been bugging them about their album release for quite a while, so I was pleasantly surprised to wake up today to a message from one of the members letting me know it finally dropped.

MADRIQ is a supergroup of local players but isn't quite a jam band

the songs are more structured and the solos more reigned in. A lot of their material has a good dance vibe, but the band is decidedly rock-based rather than EDM.

While the genre is hard to pin down, I always look forward to mixing their shows, despite the large size of the band. Hope y'all enjoy Feelin' Right as much as I've enjoyed working with these folks over the past few years!
