Back in the good old days, crystal balls would emanate smoke, bringing forth figures from other dimensions.

I recently reread the Dark Knight Over Metropolis trade and it's interesting that just a few issues later Ordway has Supes put the statues of Jor and Lara back together and talk about the importance of honoring his adopted AND biological families.

It's kinda fascinating how Trump's awfulness inevitably lays bare the Democrats' own inhumanity. Oh, so you're saying you could've been resettling refugees in three months instead of making them wait upwards of a year all along but Democratic politicians have refused to do because they hate POC? Ok.

Truly perfect albums are few and far between, I'd say even a lot of my favorite albums aren't perfect, but when I saw people were doing that whole "post an album that came out when you were 21" thing, this is the first one I thought of.

I really hope this isn't a Slowdive situation, where people only get into one band and don't dive any deeper into the genre.

![Excerpt from a Guardian article: Hardcore was a relatively heteronormative scene, with Texas's the Dicks and the Big Boys among the few groups with openly "out" members. "The army's credo was 'don't ask, don't tell'; in hardcore it was 'don't advertise, don't worry'," Mould says. "I had a handful of casual encounters with guys on the road. But it was a community of misfits, and mostly no one cared what you did behind closed doors. Though when [genre pioneers] Bad Brains stayed at Grant's parents' house when they played Minneapolis, they left a note reading, 'Die [homophobic slur], die.'"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qfklljwbwbaoszxcz6haphwo/bafkreihffgd3zioihpz32z7rqihiwmicd2aqzdpio6dk6jw2ynq7iarxsi@jpeg)

Found the interview in question. It's from '96. They might've gotten more into the Clash and Buzzcocks later on, though, I wouldn't be surprised.

This post was prompted by a lot of things, like an article I read that stated that "shoegaze" bands signing to major labels was unheard of, which, whah?
But hey, the narrative is that shoegaze bands were indie outfits that never got any attention from the majors, so why bother fact-checking it?

![A screenshot of the wikipedia page for My Bloody Valentine. The line in question goes, "My Bloody Valentine were dropped by Creation [Records] after its release due to the album's extensive production costs. In 1992, the band signed to Island Records and recorded several albums worth of unreleased material, remaining largely inactive."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qfklljwbwbaoszxcz6haphwo/bafkreih7axj4aqgo24qu4hbkccytgdadeq4dkue37qhvehl5wmw3beffnu@jpeg)

If we absolutely HAVE to bring back 2000s fashion and dance rock/garage indie music, can we also bring back that era's album cover art style?
(note that neither record fits the dance rock/garage indie formats, and that, unlike most bands from those genres, these two albums are actually good)
