After a night full of upsets, the 2025 Gothams end the way they were probably always going to, with One Battle After Another winning Best Feature. (From a jury that includes Academy prez Janet Yang.) Take that, budget limit!

When my brain sees these savagely capitalist sales imported from some weird American financial year culture that spams our entire information ecosystem I just want to scream “I INSIST ON PAYING FULL PRICE!”

Probably just me.

I started reading Blood Canticle by Anne Rice only to realise I’d started it before and stopped it before, like I’ve done again, due to the absurd metafictional (re)introduction. I don’t understand how you get to book 10 in a series and still think your readers need this kind of inane coddling.

Does anyone know if there’s anything like the old Only Posts feed from @skyfeed.xyz that actually works? That used to be good but when I pin it now it’s still picking up a heap of accounts I no longer follow. So, essentially useless.

ICYMI: Full Flower Moon Band Win The Triffid's 2025 Album Of The Year
Full Flower Moon Band Win The Triffid's 2025 Album Of The Year
Full Flower Moon Band have made it onto the Hero Wall after winning The Triffid’s QLD Album of the Year. * John Collins And The Impact Of The Triffid's Album Of The Year: 'Queensland Keeps Punching Above Its Weight' The Brisbane rockers were announced as the winners of this year’s The Triffid Album of the Year last night (27 November). They were up against a diverse bunch of Queensland acts, which were: Sycco’s Zorb, King Stingray’s For The Dreams, Mallrat’s Light hit my face like a straight right, and Velociraptor’s Computer Future. Full Flower Moon Band were crowned the winners following the release of last year’s Megaflower. Accepting the award, the group – led by the charismatic singer and guitarist Kate “Babyshakes” Dillon – acknowledged the strength of Brisbane’s music scene and thanked their fans for voting for them and getting Megaflower hand-painted onto the Hero Wall. In addition to getting a spot on the wall alongside The Go-Betweens, The Saints, and more, the band have received a $3,800 marketing package from The Music, as well as a rehearsal day in The Triffid’s Live Room. Embedded Content Upon its release, Megaflower debuted at #1 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart. The band have since received international buzz from American radio station KEXP and BBC Radio—the latter courtesy of Iggy Pop. They’ve also secured a UK/EU deal with Free Trade, launched their own beer with Mountain Goat, and continue to achieve local success while growing their profile overseas. “When you think about Full Flower going 'mega', don’t think harder and heavier,” Dillon commented last year. “Think bigger – in every way. Megaflower explores themes ranging from existential musings (Illegal Things) to human sensuality (Man Hands), with Babyshakes’ distinctive vocals and the band’s dynamic instrumentation piecing the project together. Earlier this year, a clip of the band performing West Side live went viral on social media, catching the attention of international stars such as Jack Black, Sleaford Mods, Noel Fielding, and Cage The Elephant. Dillon told The Music about the energetic track last year, “West Side has always been a track that bridges our last album, Diesel Forever, and into a new era of bigger, bolder production. We worked and re-worked this track, and now it has the essence of a rock song, but structurally it’s unusual. “When I first gave the band chord charts and the ‘rap section’ was written on the page, we all knew we weren’t playing it safe. I love that the first thing audiences heard me sing after two years is, ‘I was hoping motherfucker call me back’. So pick up, Full Flower Moon Band’s on the line.” Embedded Content
