This week’s sponsor is near and dear to my heart.
Let me introduce you to the Mordialloc Ducks Baseball Club from Australia and the two new baseball caps that are now up for sale. And, to learn even more about them, here’s an introduction in their own words:
We’re the Mordialloc Ducks Baseball Club, the Little Baseball Club That Could. Based in the South-East suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, we’re a small amateur not-for-profit baseball club that focuses on growing baseball through socially enjoyable games rather than highly-competitive coaching. Half of our players had never played baseball before, but they’ve fallen in love with it.
Because we are the Little Baseball Club That Could, we sometimes do fun and audacious things that usually only the big clubs do, like creating highlight videos and designing New Era caps. We’ve had two 59FIFTY caps created, one with our on-field cap logo, and the other celebrating our mascot Quack Daniels, which we are selling through our website.
The team was founded in 2018 by a longtime AbsolutePunk and Chorus reader, and if you’d like to know more, you can follow them on Instagram and Facebook.

This week’s newsletter has my thoughts on Zack Snyder’s Justice League and some lengthy commentary about finding joy in music again through a deep dive of MxPx’s catalog over the past week. I ponder why I sort of stopped listening to pop-punk music and what it’s like to pass another birthday in the middle of a pandemic. But there’s a finish line in sight. And, as always, there’s a playlist of ten songs I liked this week, and this week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here.

Wren Graves, writing at Consequence of Sound:
Spotify has announced a new pay transparency initiative, Loud & Clear, which is certainly one of those two things. This comes just days after the “Justice at Spotify” campaign organized worldwide protests outside of the streamer’s offices demanding one cent per stream, transparent contracts, a user-centric payment model, an end to payola, a switch to crediting all labor in recordings, and an end to lawsuits against artists.
Lord Huron have shared the new song “Mine Forever.”
