It landed on Mars on August 5th, and was remotely activated that day so every year on August 5th it sings “happy birthday” to itself alone on mars 🥲 so that means my birthday is celebrated on two planets!

@LUDWIG I think the curiosity rover only played the song once but even though I've read about it, I never thought about it as my birthday being celebrated on mars. Thank you for that, I've been smiling for five minutes

As in celebrating on the day that Venus goes back to the position it was in on the day you were born. Hbd to my love planet. ft. an overpriced London fog, cheesecake, pretty, pretty flowers & wearing eyeliner for the first time in years

I’m a DJ at my local station, KGLT :) it’s so fun! People at the grocery store and stuff stop me and tell me about how much they love my show sometimes. Super rewarding and wholesome. I also love using spinitron for an alternative to streaming algorithm radio when I want to hear something new (I work a warehouse job so I can’t always DJ for myself). it has live streaming from like, 300 stations across the country. super super fun. Today I found this station in Maine and the DJ on air was this guy who hasn’t done a show for 30 years playing a bunch of forgotten Maine jam bands that were super sick - can’t get that stuff from the Spotify algo

Started this over the weekend, incredible stuff. It’s an investigation into the rise of Spotify and the consequences streaming has had for recorded music, musicians and listeners. Great read for any music lover. I’ll warn you, it might make you feel a little crazy or sad.
