I dunno how much I’ve discussed this on here in the past but I am living with a few mental health issues and anxiety flavours it all.
I’ve listened to many songs about or touching on mental health and every now and then there’s one that hits the nail on the head for me.
Took a flight to another planet,
I still didn’t know just what to say,
Anxietys got me quiet like (always)
This song is my happy place, I visit it regularly (Bill Wurtz in general is comfort personified through song, you might know him for his "entire History of the world & history of Japan videos if not his music)
I don’t use dating apps, but if I did; I’d put this in my profile to save people an awful lot of time and heartache.
Hate to hear of passing of a legend. I own this LP. When I was about 6, I would put on my turquoise and orange striped mini skirt and dance myself to exhaustion to this song.
You had a mini skirt at 6? 
Yeah. Everyone did back then. It was a 1 piece pullover. I only wore it at home though.
I remember this! Well, I remember when the Batman song was played on the radio, not the mini skirt dancing part. About this time I was sporting a cowboy outfit with hat, holster, and Colt 45 cap gun. Strangely, perhaps, I think my parents were more enthused about the cowboy outfit than I was. I was much more interested in my Erector building set, something like this one…
Never had an erector set but I did have these and I loved them…and now I wonder if that is why I love building in NMS…?
Yes! Tinkertoys were great. We had a cylinder similar to the one you show, but smaller in diameter as I recall. I had 3 sisters, all significantly older, and it got handed down to me. Also got a lot of mileage from Lincoln Logs.
In the late 60’s, or maybe about 1970, I got a lesser known building set that I really liked. It was called T’OGL. It consisted mostly of cubes with holes and pegs on the faces so they could be snapped together. Uniquely, some of the cube faces were hinged, so you could build things that moved in novels ways.
Alas, the building parts were all plastic, which meant the hinges (scored plastic joints) would eventually snap. Fun while it lasted, but also an early(?) example of the disposable goods mindset.
To this day I still find stray relic TOGL artifacts around my property.
I have no recollection of it ever raining TOGLs or the Great TOGL Explosion of '81… but archeological evidence abounds to suggest something happened.
So that’s what those things I’ve been finding all my life have been. There was never a historian around to ask when I’d find one buried in clay or rolling out from a ditch.
I feel cheated. I’ve never seen a single cube of them since whatever happened to my old set (probably handed down to a niece or nephew) umm… happened. Legos and Matchbox cars I have found emerging from the soil aplenty, but never a T’ogl. I suspect a conspiracy. Or, maybe they just have to be planted in the right kind of biome to yield… fruit.
Anyone who is within the northern hemisphere… Spend 20 minutes tonight with your eyes closed or place yourself within pure darkness. Try to not look at a single light source whatsoever… do not look at your phone, tv, or any source for at least 20 minutes… and then go outside and look up.
LOVE the skies for ever, and ever!
Did not know Kyle Kulver lived next to a trade station with all its landing pads filled.
Life sure does feel like getting knife deleted in a motel shower sometimes alright…
My favourite thing about mononeon is you never know what you’re going to get next, every song is a radical departure from the last <3
Fun Fact: Mono was the last bassist Prince hired before he passed
These two feel oddly related. (frog concert and water pipe people, not mono 
)
Got tickets to see this old dude at the Barrowlands in September October.
Shots fired at capitalism? Or shots fired at patriarchy? Take your pick
On a theo vibe today :3
