  I found my love back in the Cure, 2025 kind of bit like the Cure, sad but happy at the same times

  Worst things and Stuff of 2025: The Legend of the Galactic Heroes themed cafe in Tokyo closed down the month before I visited for the first time.

  Death & Vanilla sounds more like Portishead to me than Dead Can Dance, but solid either way, and thanks. I had a similar musical year, except switch the Cocteaus with Stereolab (helps that they released their best album in decades this year).

  Related. Others? (and how did we miss 2023, 2018, and 2016?)

    2023, 2018, and 2016 were all submitted, just with very few comments.

  I really like the aesthetic! I also enjoyed the content.

  I think it was the year before last, I found a new band that's been rocking my socks off: Uranium Club.

  (I am a big fan of egg punk and a true devo-tee)

  Last year they came to Australia, which I didn't know about, and it's the first time I've ever felt like I missed out on a musical event.

  Then they released a new album this year, " infants under the bulb" which has been growing on me.

  I also started Warhammer this year, and one of my frigates is driven by a small grey man

  I’m intrigued by that Japanese calendar stamp. Does anyone know where to get it?

    JetPens in the US has a variety such. Not quite the one here, though.

    If you do a search for Shimaenaga Weekly Calendar then you’ll find something that’s very similar and may be able to similar ones that work better for you.

    I got mine in Japan at a store called Loft, but I suspect that you’d have to pay a substantial mark up to get the same thing elsewhere.

  Thanks for this! Some of these are really interesting.

  The Dream Factory was a great book this year on Shakespeare.

    This feels like it needs its own post. Just had to check my goto, Qalculate, which similarly gives -10^200
