Weezer's debut self-titled album, aka "blue album". The four members of the band, still very young, dressed in tidy casual 90s attire, stand side by side in front of a plain, sky blue backdrop with the word "weezer" in slim black block lettering in the top right corner.

Lola was guarding a very special parcel when I got home today. Can you guess what's inside?

OK I just read it and yeah it's kinda like I took notes on it before reading it. These are my thoughts from a few weeks ago:
Hierarchy is maintained by laws which, when broken, carry vastly different consequences depending on a person's class or socio-economic status. Laws can only be enforced with oppressive power/authority, ie. the theat of violence - physical, financial or otherwise. Power is taken, not earned or rightfully bestowed, including in democratic societies, where election outcomes are largely determined by the influence of corporate lobbying, political think tanks and other power structures. One of the most common and effective ways of taking, consolidating and wielding power is to frame a minority (or oppressed majority) group as the common enemy. Given the inherently harmful nature of power, a hierarchical society will always be conducive to fascist tendencies like racism, queerphobia, misogyny, ableism, extreme nationalism etc, and in fact depends on these very tendencies for its survival. You can't have an upper class without a lower class, and you can't have a lower class without some form of fascist rhetoric to justify labelling certain people as such. If a "society" unanimously commits to abolishing hierarchy, is it possible that this "society" would be virtually free from these tendencies, or at least inherently inhospitable to their occurrence? Fascism and hierarchy go hand in hand, and would probably die without each other.

Across a bridge and across the mountains
Threw a nickel in the fountain
To save my soul from all these troubled times
And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take
To soothe my mind so I'm always sober
Always aching, always heading towards
Mass suicide, occult figurines

This pretty much sums it up I think
Definitions of record, including: "something on which sound or images have been recorded for subsequent reproduction, as a grooved disk that is played on a phonograph or an optical disk for recording sound audio disc or images videodisc."

Are you really on bluesky if you're not posting pics of your cat?

Lola found a good spot. Black and white short-hair cat loafing on a faded red and orange towel, on a concrete balcony with old white painted iron balustrade, trees and neighbouring brick house in background.

Back to modern times, or maybe future...or perhaps rather altogether other-dimensional?

This debut LP absolutely knocked me silly the first time I heard it, and it kinda still does.

From a FB post by:

"Monica Smit (organiser of the upcoming 'Put Australia First' rally) wandered onto Sky News ... and delivered one of the most unintentionally funny economic rants I’ve heard in ages."

#auspol
Monica Smit (organiser of the upcoming 'Put Australia First' rally) wandered onto Sky News (yes, the mainstream media she claims is brainwashing the nation) and delivered one of the most unintentionally funny economic rants I’ve heard in ages. Her big discovery? Australia… exports too much. Or put more accurately, mining companies export too much of Australia's resources. She listed it breathlessly, like she’d just cracked open the Panama Papers... “88% of our coal!” “75% of our gas!!” “100% of our uranium!!!” “It seems like we’re prioritising exporting!!” Monica, sweetheart… You’ve just stumbled, face-first, into rampant market economics, and you look absolutely stunned by it. Australia exports resources because that’s the entire business model of the mining companies your own political sphere worships like gods. This isn’t corruption. This isn’t a conspiracy. This isn’t the Illuminati pushing buttons behind a curtain. It’s literally the thing Gina Rinehart and Clive Palmer wake up every morning to do. And here’s the part that made me audibly laugh... without realising it, she basically complained that the government is too friendly with mining billionaires. Monica… Liberal Party donors. One Nation donors. United Australia Party. Your allies. Your political ecosystem. Your entire movement. You’re not biting the hand that feeds you... you’re gnawing on its ankle while asking Sky News if it’s communism. Brace yourself... because the only way to stop corporations from exporting resources is for the government to either nationalise them, or slap massive windfall taxes on them. You know… The very policies you call “communist tyranny” whenever an ACTUAL progressive suggests them. Funniest part is that "Lefties" have been screaming this for 20 years. “Mining giants own our governments. Tax them properly. Put resources back in public hands.” And now here comes Monica, dazed and wide-eyed like she’s just discovered fire, announcing “wait… the corporations are… doing capitalism??”. The cognitive dissonance is beautiful. If tomorrow the government said, “Right, we’re taking control of resources so it actually benefits Australians,” Monica would be back on Sky News within 45 seconds yelling “THE GOVERNMENT IS STEALING FROM BUSINESS!! THIS IS MARXISM!! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!”. She’s not exposing corruption. She’s accidentally describing the system her own movement are the useful idiots for and protect... she sounds genuinely confused as to how it works. Bless her heart. She’s trying. But my pickle, the map is upside down.

When I was a kid, maybe 6, my mum made me a mixtape (cassette), including several tracks from this album. Heavily nostalgic.
Such a strange name for band, definitely wouldn't be my first pick.

This is one of the first records I ever bought, back when I was a drunken 16 year old, and gee golly it's been through some shit.
First clean just recently, it's now playable but has LOTS of crackle and pop.

Few of my records needed a clean more than this one. So good to hear it clearly again after so many years of lazy vinyl custodianship.
