hello this is the next show I have coming up and this may be the finest show flyer I have ever created
Two weird medieval cats play the trumpet and a drum while a rat and a turtle look on. The flyer is for a show: Ladyscissors, Gentle Brontosaurus, and Emily AF at Gamma Ray Bar, Jan 17 2026, 3 pm, $10.

Just watched Jingle All the Way and 2 things struck me as particularly weird:
1) The Room seems to have stolen a whole bunch of random bits from this movie?! The “chicken” scene with the Santas, the tie on the head, “you’re my favorite customer”, “you think of everything”…

Thank you @herecomestheflood for the review of our new single! “Although based in Madison, WI, they can be easily mistaken for a UK band, as they channel the melodicism of the Sundays and Belle & Sebastian.”

Indie-pop quintet Gentle Brontosaurus are singing about the hopes and dreams they had in second grade as well as the anxiety of having proper dental insurance on their new single Luxury Bones.

“2025's the cloud chamber is an exquisite mix of lo-fi sounds, from her softly picked electric guitar and tender vocals to a well-placed theremin line.”

Super lovely writeup of “the cloud chamber” from Trilobite Polka Review! thanks Steev! ❤️

An edit of the "Yes... ha ha ha... YES!" sickos meme to replace the sicko with Cathy (from the syndicated newspaper comics) saying "Ack... ha ha ha... ACK!" with an expression of distress on her face. Her shirt also now reads "Ackos"
