The early 90s band? If so, I may be the only other person that remembers haha. Something about a mossy god?

Omg have not thought about Lloyd Cole since forever… But I remember having that album with perfect skin on it…

And loved The Church… Saw them live a few times back in the day… Good times!

That sounds like a great idea! I’m definitely interested!

Hi! There’s lots of options out there for men’s robes (I haven’t made any myself as yet, but google brings up loads of options when you search men’s robe pattern) But the one that sprang to mind when I saw your post was the Elbe textiles zero waste robe if you want to check that out… https://elbetextiles.com.au/blogs/news/zero-waste-pattern-making

And after leaving went on to form Soulfly who have a heap of awesome albums, as well as forming Cavelera Conspiracy with Igor. Max also toured and performed the roots album and another tour doing beneath the remains / arise also with Igor (which I saw when they toured Australia - just awesome!)

Awesome song… And the vocals are just amazing!

Haven’t thought about this song in years!!! Thanks for posting… Such a good song!

I just finished ‘The last devil to die’ also… It was sad / poignant, but omg also so funny and clever!!! I love the Thursday murder club! I’m also a big fan of murder mysteries, especially ‘cosy’ murder mysteries… Good to have things work out in books when the real world is going to shit.

I’m definitely no expert, but being an old machine I think the best thing to do is to get it serviced by a professional (sorry I don’t know how many big Mac’s that will cost), but it should be a good investment. From what I understand those old Singer sewing machines are great workhorses. Hopefully others will comment who know more than I do, but personally I’d get it serviced. Good luck!!

That’s very true about the Murdoch press

Try the ABC and SBS for more balanced coverage of issues. Whilst The Guardian skews left / progressive, it has excellent journalism and they also have a daily podcast (mon-fri) that looks into a particular story each episode, as well as a weekly(?) Podcast about politics where they discuss current issues.

I’ve found Evelyn Wood 's videos on YouTube really informative and helpful. Also, depending on what you want to sew, some independent pattern companies have really good pattern instructions that are beginner friendly. Some will also have videos to go along with it too. There’s lots of sewing stuff on the internet, whether it be basic instructions, free patterns etc etc. Lots of resources!

Hahaha, yeah bit of a lurker unless I’ve got something to say 😉 I think the name of the album was shooting rubber bands at the stars…? Really cool name

Such a good song!!! From memory the whole album was pretty good…

I’m a newbie sewist, and this week I finally sewed with jersey fabric!!! It was just a simple dolman sleeve top, but I feel I’ve overcome a mental hurdle because it turned out fine!! Now at some stage I have a jumpsuit to attempt in the same fabric…

Back in the late 80s there was an all woman band called The Wet Ones, and yes they did a tour with The Hard Ons

Thanks for posting, that’s a great article!!! I’m not quite that old lol, but another band you should check out are the Celibate Rifles… They started around 1979/1980, and played live right up until around 2018 (sadly, their singer Damian Lovelock died in 2019… He was also part of the soccer broadcast team on SBS) Anyhoo… Celibate Rifles were awesome… Lots of their stuff on YouTube

That looks like it’ll be really cute!! You’re very creative! The only thing I would say is that if it’s for a baby, maybe don’t use wool or yarn for the ‘hair’… It might be better to make it ‘solid’ out of satin like the fins? (Does that make sense? Like something in one mass rather than stringy…)?

Thank you!!! I’ll have to give it a go. I like the idea of mixing the sesame paste, tamari and plant milk seperately… I’ve usually just done the simple Dashi, and then adding miso as you described. I appreciate you sharing what you do!

That broth recipe looks amazing!!! Must admit I’ve not come across adding milk to miso soup before … Is it necessary? Is it because of the peanut butter? Thanks for posting the recipe/s

I think the machine you have is a Brother Super Flairmatic 190B sewing machine. (I used Google lens on the picture you posted). If you search this on Google, you’ll find quite a bit of information, and there’s even a YouTube video!!! You might even be able to find a manual this way. Good luck!!!
