But this has reminded me of the family lore around my musical obsessions, which started early. So that makes this my for-realsies oldest fave. Released in 1976.
3yo me learnt all the words from my grandmother, and performed the song for everyone (who couldn't escape me and my vocal stylings).

It's #MusicWomenWednesday and I dug out my old Sabbath playlist today, so let's go with these very cardiganie covers from The Cardigans. Because Nina Persson singing Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is a whole vibe! Vale Ozzy.

I've been helping facilitate a very oldskool Librarians discussion forum for 10+ years and I love them so much.
Today, they're discussing the details of how to barcode the lightweight drones just added to one school's library collection, and in particular, the potential flight balance issues around either metal labels or engraving.
Your local school librarians are the best people. đ

Albo's speech was inclusive, forward looking, unifying and values-focussed. I hope this win means he governs with this same ambitious energy, because he hasn't always been this strong in the past.
(Back to my regularly scheduled screeching about kpop now. :blobcatgiggle:)
HOORAY! Antony has called it (he's our version of steve kornacki). The awful, racist conservatives are gonna lose, and the Potato of doom may even lose his seat.
Well done ALP. The relief in this house is real. Pass the celebratory wine and chocolate!
