Nice seeing these two posts in succession. Feels right.
One Bluesky post on top of another, from different accounts but similar topics. The top one is Simon Reynolds announcing his new 2026 book "Still In A Dream" while the next is an image of his 1990 book, "Blissed Out."

#TFW you unexpectedly stumble on a modern vinyl reissue of a '90s cd you loved ("Oyster" by #HeatherNova) and learn she made an album in 2003 with #MercuryRev backing her!
The sleeve for the album "Oyster" by Heather Nova sits in a yellow bin on a shelf above the turntable playing the orange splatter vinyl of the same.

If you're not subscribing to Nick Cave's "Red Hand Files"... well, I don't know what to tell you. You're missing all sorts of goodness:
A subscriber asks of Nick Cave, "Is it okay to use your [song] 'Babe, I'm On Fire' as I am cremated?" It is signed Matin, Ipswitch, UK. Nick's reply is simply, "I insist!"

... she was also the Warrior Woman in "The Road Warrior"! Virginia went on to roles in "Farscape" and "The Living Daylights," not to mention being linked romantically in the 1980s to John Taylor (Duran Duran) and Michael Hutchence (INXS).
