Keen on hats, especially Akubra Bogart, Stylemaster; Barmah on the weekend. (Style, and skin cancer sucks.)

I experienced something rare today: that thrilling feeling when you find something in a record shop that you've been looking for, for a long time.
I found a copy of David Bowie's Station To Station album on CD. I have many (most?) of his other albums, but I never had a copy of this one. I saw it once about a year ago on vinyl, but I haven't seen it on CD for years.
I thought I had left it too late to get my own copy, and now I probably never would.
We're #Green with... Friday vibes on #FortnightFridayMusic.
So let's join XTC and lay down on the cool green grass.

Full lunar eclipse here tonight on a full moon.
People who understand these things: Please tell me this is a good omen (all things considered).
Also I'm basic an astronomer with this photo lol.
Happy Bloomsday to those who celebrate.
"Like him was I, these sloping shoulders, this gracelessness. My childhood bends beside me. Too far for me to lay a hand there once or lightly. Mine is far and his secret as our eyes. Secrets, silent, stony sit in the dark palaces of both our hearts: secrets weary of their tyranny: tyrants, willing to be dethroned."

You tooted something a few days ago about superpowers @TheBreadmonkey@beige.party
I think I've just found mine. None of this flying or mind reading or the other usual ones.
Since I read about the Leaf sheep (or Sea sheep), I just want the ability to photosynthesise.
Sure, you'd have green skin, but then you wouldn't need to worry about food or skin cancer. Just eat some salad to keep your chloroplasts up, and get outside with your shirt off.
@Workshopshed I was going to ask if a camel* was a horse too, but I suspected that might try @Pepijn's patience to much.
- "Designed by a committee" etc.
Whelp, we did see Dappled Cities live again tonight, and they were fantastic.
So tight, and a great setlist of some old favourites and new songs that they really brought to life live. Also a lot of fun in a small venue, where we could chat to the band members afterwards.
This time it was with the offspring, who had three of their albums in the soundtrack to her teenage years. So good to see her enjoy it that much.
#BandcampFriday is a good day to pre-order the new Dappled Cities album, The Aquarium.
I'm tempted to get tickets to see them live when they tour soon. Only sixteen years since I first (last) saw them perform. 😳
Brian Eno's Nerve Net album on Bandcamp was listed for a while bundled with the My Squelchy Life album from the same period.
I delayed getting it... and now it has been replaced by just the NN album with one bonus track.
My own fault for waiting, I suppose.
