Album Review: Repelican, ‘Dim Halo’
The latest album from Panton musician Jon Ehrens is a gloriously eclectic piece of indie rock and electro pop.

gunna be dropping my new Repelican record Oct 18! it’s a “return to form” as they say. 13 tracks of underthought immature mixed-fi by some rando at home just hitting record in the off-hours making what comes naturally

for the folks sweating over their streaming service subscriptions I cannot recommend enough that rabbit ear antennae still exist and they rule and the upfront cost is like $20 bucks and then … free

🎶MOVE ON UP TO THE OTHER SIDE”
I just learned that “Jeffersons” star Sherman Hemsley wrote and recorded a prog-psych musical in 1999 with Jon Anderson of Yes that has never been released. It’s called “Festival of Dreams.” I need to hear this desperately.

The Trump administration is continuing its effort to deport the Palestinian student activist. For now, he can continue his fight for freedom outside of prison.

Okay, the nerdiest thing at your wedding. Go!
STORYTIME.

At our wedding, my astronomer husband and I had a planetarium show (YES NERDS WE KNOW). The MC told everyone to get drunk first. During the show my drunk aunt-in-law shouted "SHOW US URANUS" and he had a whole BIT about how Uranus got rammed by something hard and let out a lot of gas. 😂

the main thing missing from zoomer 90s revivalism is just how truly filthy the youngins were. the greasiest hair imaginable. the unwashed jeans dragged on the dirty floor. aiwalks with hole-filled soles. unbrushed teeth. dirt under the nails. thick weed smell. every shirt had a cuss.
Teens & 20-somethings think 30-40 year olds are uncool? Wow this is a brand new phenomenon.
