That new Spiritbox album is excellent. Lots to enjoy on the new Lady Gaga as well.
When the stars exploded billions of years ago, they formed everything that is this world. Everything we know is stardust. So don’t forget, you are stardust.
Before Sunrise (1995)
Things on my radar today: Spiritbox, new Spitalfield single, Nightly, Jason Isbell, and that Kelsea Ballerini deluxe. I'll check out the new Lady Gaga album too. First couple listens of Spiritbox and I'm super happy with it as a follow-up to one of my favorite albums of the past few years.
Sun was out today. Goddamn if this one still ain’t perfect: https://chorus.fm/share/alb...
I made an update to our search results page today. And with that update, I think I've tackled the majority of the "big" items I had on my list for the main website. It was also the 50th update I've made so far this year to the website.
That means next is tackling some things in the forum I've wanted to do for a while. I'm not sure what's going to be first, but I have a few ideas.

Yes, we are giant nerds.
But this is still one of my favorite additions to the basement. A little representation of one of my favorite movies.
Lightsaber made by The Saber Factory and it came out amazing. Great detail. Love the customizations.
The weekend has gotten away from me and I still have a few things I need to do this evening, so I am not expecting to get to write a newsletter this week. However, I do want to plug this new Oversize album, Vital Signs, that came out on Friday. It's very shoegaze/grunge-y, but with a nice balance of melody and heavier moments. It gets a full throated recommendation. Listen: https://chorus.fm/share/alb...
This week’s wall picks.
I was happy to add that Butch Walker album to the collection this week.
Hyperspace, from John Siracusa:
Hyperspace finds files with identical contents and then reclaims the disk space taken by all but one of the identical files—without removing any of the files.
And Framous, from Charlie Chapman:
Framous is the fastest and easiest way to add device frames around your screenshots.
It’s what I used to make the images for my latest home screen blog post.
