Because I feel like it, I feel like sharing some things I've listened to recently that I liked or found interesting. I'm not good at reviews though you're just going to have to take my word for it.

Love Deluxe (1992) by Sade [LP] - Smooth soul, Contemporary R&B, Trip Hop - I feel a bit ridiculous trying to recommend well known and acclaimed things. If there's a stand named after it than what else could I possibly add? Anyways, very moody, sexy music that scratches a similar itch as Mezzanine.

Good. (2022) by The Sawtooth Grin [LP]; Mathcore, Sass - Don't think I could have done a harder 180 in tone if I'd actively planned this out, but anyways. This is fun. Very intense and aggressive in a way that tickles my brain.

Pigment (1991) by The Ecstasy of St. Theresa [EP] {Noise pop, shoegaze - Short and sweet, but mostly I'm recommending this for Honeyrain.

Hard to be Nice (1985) by Aimless Device [EP]; Post-Punk, Goth Rock- The most obscure thing here unless this is really big in Belgium and I'm showing my ass by revealing my ignorance of the Belgian Goth scene, but this is a neat little EP that I think deserves more attention. At least listen to No Friend of Mine.

Did anyone ever like attempt to document and compile the variations of Barney the dinosaur murder ballads across the elementary school system in the early 2000s. Like legit it has always fascinated me as a phenomena and I would love to know if there were like traceable regional variations or what.

extremely funny to me that harley quinns real name is apparently harleen quinzel, a name that sounds less real that harley quinn. they should do that with more comic characters. batman real name batthew manning. daredevil real name darius devilson. doctor strange real name. well okay that one doesnt count.

Back in 1939, fossil collector Louis Grauvogel discovered a couple of reptile fossils in Middle Triassic-aged deposits (~247 million years old) in eastern France. A large preserved structure was noted above the animal's back, but for many years it was interpreted as an unrelated fish fin, insect wing, or plant frond.

It was only when the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart acquired the specimens in 2019 that they were recognized as representing something very special: a long-sought-after relative of the bizarre and enigmatic Longisquama!

Mirasaura grauvogeli grew to around 30cm long (~1') and was, if anything, even stranger than its relative. It had humped shoulders, grasping limbs, and a bird-like head with large forward-facing eyes and a long pointed snout that was toothless at the front, probably used to probe for small invertebrates in cracks and crevices.

But most strikingly it had up to 20 tall structures overlapping along its back to form a sail-like crest. Although they were superficially feather-like in shape with preserved melanosomes that resemble those of birds, structurally they weren't feathers at all – but they also weren't modified scales. Instead these appear to have been an entirely novel type of skin appendage, made up of continuous sheets with a midline shaft and a corrugated texture.

The crest was probably used for visual display, and 80 additional fossils of isolated crest structures suggest they were regularly shed and regrown.

Along with Longisquama, Mirasaura appears to have been an early member of the drepanosaur lineage – a group of wonderfully weird tamandua-like reptiles whose evolutionary relationships are still disputed, with different studies currently recovering them as either a unique early offshoot of the diapsids or as archosauromorphs.

(Interestingly, a specimen of Drepanosaurus reportedly preserves some soft tissue on its back that may also be one of these strange new crest structures. Drepanosaurs just keep on getting weirder and weirder and I love them.)
