Evening bani!!! Lots of quirky zany festive scary sounds!!!

Hi Ossy!! Yes, we are really listening to strange stuff today, but at least for me it scratches my brain just right :)

ohyeah, lots of zany strange scary always, haha, especially post-finals reeking week :D

Oh wow you're done with finals!! I still have them until the 18th

pretty much...the blackboards surprisingly still open til next week!

Wow- so awesome- hope you're enjoying the freetime!!

yeaah...and btw something randomly cute! https://www.deviantart.com/deaththeshadow/art/A-Rainy-Walk-1107514271

Haha- so cute!

and saw one there, where Daisy's rubbery rain boots were unaromatic, after a nice cute adventorous walk, teee heee!

linked that one to Lizbot, and laughed at it, and reminded her of her kid's rain boots after winter

Haha yikes- I don't want to imagine it :)

another cute random https://i.pinimg.com/474x/3b/3d/85/3b3d8518c15a6adbde7b42d02c41fde3.jpg tis the socks "cat valentine" season ❤️🤍💚

Hey Bani & Ossy! I've taken a short break from baking Xmas cookies -- I just wanted to say that I have been in an ecstatic swoon from the moment you played Wire on! Maybe beginning before the Wire even! <<*swoon*>>

hello teresa and mmmm cookies 🍪🍪🍪🍪.makes me want to bake cinnabon and brownies

Omg thank you Teresa!! cookies sound so good right now

Brownies & cinnabon!!! MMMMMMmmmmmm!!! I've been experimenting with a British-inspired recipe for brandy snaps with ginger whipped cream. The brandy snap part is a success but only after several failed batches. They're like tuilles (rolled-up lace cookies) -- labor-intensive but worth it I think!

WOAH! the several failed batches are so so worth it- my mouth is watering!

now this chat smells so pastry bakery and dessserty!!!

Thankyou Bani for Bunnydrums! I'm longtime friends with Frank Marr and Dave Goerk.

btw bani, based on that ariana grande link, seen wicked? 🩷💚

Oh wow John!! That is actually so cool- happy to play really good music haha

And NO I HAVENT SEEN WICKED YET MY PLANS KEEP GOING AWRY

ME NEITHER!! Was not too huge of actively seeing it, but seeing the mass trends in and out of social media, i should check it out! So many movies to see hard to decided..like Moana 2!

i have been so excited for this movie for a while- im so upset i havent seen it yet

I got a wicked cute pink-green shirt at theatres, as I was checking in to see Dreamworks's "The Wild Robot", before Thanksgiving!

Theres also Mufasa coming..and Sonic 3! A mass lot!

hollywood is back!

This song is a bop if there ever was one

You said it Kelly!

and that upcoming Inside Out midquel tv series, "Dream Productions"..in seeing many promos and ads!

all before your friend, Val, hahaha

btw also, have you seen the wild robot?

Love the party mix version

i have not seen the wild robot! and yes the party mix is so fun

you'll love it and one movie attendant said she's seen it twice, saying it's cute wholesome family and bonding! Made me want to see Wall-E!

Listening to that “Underture”, we see how desperate the Who were to pad out “Tommy”. They reused the “Rael” recording from their previous album two years before.

Oh wow, I had no idea about the history of that- so cool!

I missed the Blues Magoos when they played in 2015 at Long Branch’s Brighton Bar (R.I.P.).

I remember the B-52’s 1981 “Party Mix” ep! It was an effort to satisfy consumers during the long interim between “Wild Planet” and “Mesopotamia”.

Oh!! Well it sure made me happy to hear it haha

The multi-award winning “Robot Dreams” is the best robot movie to come out this year. (Technically it came out 2023 in Spain/France, but it came out 2024 in USA/UK.) I caught it at the Princeton Garden Theater last July, but now I see it’s available on DVD at my library.
