The Larch trees along the western edge of the North York Moors take a battering from the winds, which leads to some beautiful forms. This one appears to be guarding the way…

you know why 90's music was so awesome? Because there was so much of it that was unique and all of it was done well. Rock, Hip Hop, R&B, Country, Alternative, Punk, Ska, Swing/Big Band....like hits everywhere in every genre and they were all different...the variety we had in the 90's was unmatched

Musicians v the climate crisis: ‘We’re trying to put on the greenest show in Australia’
Musicians v the climate crisis: ‘We’re trying to put on the greenest show in Australia’
A two-week tour produces the equivalent of an average household’s yearly carbon emissions. So some bands, including Lime Cordiale and Cloud Control, are trying small changes – like ditching confetti – and big ones – like building solar farms * Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email In 2023 the Australian indie-pop band Lime Cordiale tested a pair of electric tour vans, driving from Sydney to a festival in the Hunter Valley via gigs in Wollongong and Canberra. With gear stacked high and a map dotted with charging stations, the band got a promising, if imperfect, glimpse of their touring future. “At each gig, we’d have to convince someone to let us plug the cars in,” recalls the band’s guitarist and vocalist, Oliver Leimbach. As it transpired, they ran out of charge en route to the festival and had to call for a lift. Lime Cordiale are part of a growing number of Australian musicians who are recognising the climate cost of touring and finding ways to lessen their impact. While no definitive emissions audit exists for Australia’s music sector, a 2010 study found the UK music industry produced about 540,000 tonnes of greenhouse-gas emissions annually. It’s estimated that a typical two-week, 15-stop tour in Australia produces about 28 tonnes of carbon emissions – the equivalent of an average household’s yearly output. Continue reading...

Chris Ware, famed for graphic novels and magazine covers, is going micro. He's drawn 20 postage stamps that on one sheet tell the continuous story of a postal carrier on her daily route — and the scenes draw heavy inspiration from suburban Chicago. https://trib.al/ny0yzyt
