Roxette-FADING LIKE A FLOWER-Wollongong Australia 09/03/25

Dominic Mah aka 12 Valentines @dommah.bsky.social · 2d

You may notice that the more bonehead project2025ish reels you try to hide or report on FB, the more pop into your feed to take their place. Like Hydra! Hmmm.

Rest in peace, D'Angelo, Diane Keaton, Drew Struzan. But also, I went down a Roxette rabbithole yesterday. This is from their "reformation" tour this year. RIP Marie Fredriksson. You rocked. (Note that everyone in Australia knows the words to this song.)

Dominic Mah aka 12 Valentines @dommah.bsky.social · 2d

OK, MTV isn't "killed" yet. It's mostly shutting down in the UK. But for the boneheads, the night is young. #GenX take note, amidst everything else, they came for your #MTV.

After nearly 40 years of shaping youth culture in the UK, MTV is pulling the plug on five of the region's dedicated music channels.

Do we think #NFL dudes who drop the ball an inch from the endzone are aware of the odds on their Anytime Touchdown prop? Semiserious question. #EmariDemarcado #AdonaiMitchell

Released a new edit of our (12 Valentines) song "Costume Party," a bouncey retropop tune about narcissism, #cosplay, and awkward love. #SDCC cosplay-focused music video soon to follow, including this tender tableau btw Rogue and MCU #CarolDanvers (Jessika). Songwriting by me, vocals by Victoria.

Nothing to make you value how relatively peaceful America is more than the President directing his TV host War Guy to commit war crimes against an American city mainly known for a sketch comedy show and roses.

Earlier this week, the Disney-owned broadcast network ABC abruptly pulled the late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live from the airwaves after being pressured by the U.S. government. A few days prior, Dan Gilroy and the show Andor, another Disney-owned entity, was being awarded an Emmy for outstanding writing for this powerful speech delivered by Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma -- who was totally snubbed in the acting category, by the way -- warning of "the monster who will come for us all soon enough."

Bluesky is now 20% random posts by people refusing to acknowledge the news of the day, 30% people reacting to the news & main characters of the day, & 50% exhausted artists trying to sell their work with strained, cheerful posts.

Nevertheless, we persist.

I really hope Allen Iverson manages to make some kind of licensing money out of this whole fucking stupid decade.

Lamar Jackson Postgame PRESS CONFERENCE vs. Bills "S**T HAPPENS" | John Harbaugh Postgame

Dominic Mah aka 12 Valentines @dommah.bsky.social · Sep 9

I gotta write a substack thing about #LamarJackson 's leadership voice, cf 1:34 "Let that go." After Likely's foot and Andrews' drop and all that. Of the 4-5 elite NFL QBs, Lamar's the only one I wanna hear speak after a win or a loss. Such a freaking hero. #BaltimoreRavens #DerrickHenry

Hey, #NewMusicFriday, here's a new song from #12Valentines:
MOONSTONE
Vocals by Vic Ess, guitars by @mzmo.bsky.social
It's kinda tryna do that Robyn thing, with a little bit of the Joshua Tree thing, and some John Williams circa 1977 thrown in for sci-fi flavor. On the streamers, #Bandcamp now! ❤️

Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck on Basketball Superheroes, Bay Area Vibes, Moral Clarity, and ‘Freaky Tales’

Dominic Mah aka 12 Valentines @dommah.bsky.social · Aug 21

As an interviewer, I flubbed by not asking Anna Boden what her secret longheld dream movie is (as FREAKY TALES seems to be for Ryan Fleck) but I'd guess it also involves fighting Nazis somehow. The antifascist mixtape Bay Area-focused #FREAKYTALES is on HBO Max! It's a good time! Dye Nazi scum!
