Fun album! They've still got that summery/springtime light FM-pop vibe with quite a fair bit of variation across tracks to keep it interesting and engaging ~ chill chill chill ~ liking this a lot more than Wildflower.

Among the myriad of Marvel & Star Wars announcements, Disney is doing an Alien TV series for FX set on Earth “in the near future”
Cool! Though so many Alien stories are really centred around preventing the aliens from reaching Earth. Especially a lot of Dark Horse comic stuff (set much farther into the future than the brief synopsis for this TV series implies) which raises the question of how this is going to fit into canon. Maybe some secretive Weyland-Yutani facility outbreak or similar... I'll watch it regardless. Pretty keen for an Alien TV show.

Classic! Miss John Safren on our screens. ACA is also mega-trash, always has, always will be.
Let's not forget the Chaser's early efforts on TV! "Fat kids with ADHD caught on camera, joining Lebanese gangs to perform shonky renovations!"

Got a message 1 hr & 10mins ago that my order was dispatched (open business their time)
My nearest regional city (a few hours away) is Cairns in Australia. The upcoming international flight sked doesn't appear to include direct flights from europe (mostly PNG and some islands and Asian locations). Cairns itself is a 2.5 hour flight from the state capital. Queensland is enormous, about 2.5 times the size of Texas. Plus possible Covid delays. So it should take until minimum mid next week at best you'd think.
I've only ordered 1 item from overseas since lockdown and it did arrive (whereas some domestic things failed to).
Oh well, digitals anyway. I shall fret no more.
Do you live in Weipa or Cooktown or something?

"The modern idea that form follows function, that the design of the spoon will dictate its proper use, is obviously not self-evident."
Cool insight!

The Australian tour in December 2010 were the last live appearances of Trish. Was living in Brisbane at the time and just getting into Warp Records stuff. Though I wasn't too into Broadcast, I thought about going to check'em out, not getting many Warp artists playing in Aus. But I had slumped into a deep depression and couldn't bring myself to attend. Of course, the very next month, news of her passing came to be. I spent some time really listening to Broadcast, ended up enraptured by them. Trish is pure inspiration. It's still a real kick in the guts that I missed an opportunity to see her perform live, but such is life. You know what they say about the brightest stars...

This looks sweet thanks!
Sweet as!
Surficially, it demonstrates a classic Freudian psychoanalysis client-therapist relationship and various concepts that originally sprung from Freud's work- resistance, transference, latent thoughts, dream analysis and interpretation, etc. But most interesting are the demonstrations of the "what if" questions it asks: What if our dreams became our reality? What if we could actually manifest our unconscious desires into reality? What if we could reform reality (i.e. "play god", as referenced in the title of the film, and perhaps a quip on altering our subjective experience)?
And... what if this power was misused? Surprisingly, there are no antagonists in this film, as even the manipulative therapist has good intentions. But what it does show is that even good intentions by the therapist can go awry. A sneaky critique on Utilitarianism... Just one of the many ways to look at this film~ so enjoy!
Plot summary for those interested:
In the near future, George Orr (George Orwell reference!) is charged with abuse of multiple prescription medications, which he was taking to keep himself from dreaming. Orr volunteers for psychiatric care to avoid prosecution, and is assigned to the care of licensed oneirologist William Haber. Orr's explanation of his drug abuse is incredible: He has known since age 17 that his dreams change reality, and tries to prevent himself from this "effective dreaming" because he fears their effects.

I cannot get past this film. So many interwoven themes and ideas, beautifully done.
