Ekhem so about polish eliminations for ESC, i watched all the performances (that were available online or if not, I lietened to the songs alone) and here are my thoughts that nobody asked for

Ahlena „Booty”

no wonder TVP’s tight ass couldn’t handle it. Personally I don’t really like it, but it doens’t mean it’s bad. And I just read that there was a “scandal” because of the “obscene lyrics”, god I hate them, Rosa Chemical drama 2.0 but make it polish. Gatekeeping ass for secretly gay, right wing politicians is getting boring.

6/10

Alicja Szemplińska „New Home”

amazing voice, real talent, very ESC-y, but also I’m a firm hater of ballads unless they fucking slap me on the ground with lyrics which didn’t happen.

7/10 for voice

Blanka Stajkow „Solo”

JUST SAW THAT THIS CHAV PERFORMED AT SYLWESTER MARZEŃ, SOMEONE PUT ME DOWN

10 seconds in and this bitch can’t sing. Are those Ariana Grande’s clones dancing around her? God. Me slowly going insane, realizing that I’ve heard this already in very autotuned version while ironically watching sylwester marzeń. She’s more out of breath than me after climbing on the fourth floor, and trust me, this is bad. She’s more talking than singing, the lyrics are tragic, the dancing is making me want to puke. I can shame her because English is my second language: girl go learn English, or at least the words of your own song before singing it, because you clearly have no fucking idea what you’re saying. Another fucking Blanka bringing shame to Poland. Who’s conservative tiny dick her management sucked to let her win? The biggest scam since Rafał. I’m fucking fuming.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

absolute fucking 0/10

Dominik Dudek „Be Good”

Is that biggening stolen from When the party’s over or am I tripping. Kinda Podsiadło vibe, I like it. Something I’d listen to on the car radio, but wouldn’t add to any of my Spotify playlist. Very chill.

7/10

Felivers „Never Back ”

YNGBLD is that you? Xd the inspiration is very visible but that’s ok, at least you’re not being Blanka. Kinda like it, again, I wouldn’t add it to my spotify but I like the overall vibe.

7,5/10

✨✨✨✨👑 Jann „Gladiator” 👑✨✨✨✨

Oh. OH. I completely understand the damn hype I saw on Sunday. Yes. YES. The outfit, makeup, public’s reaction. The overall vibe. The damn voice? Wow. The dancemoves? (checks how old he is) Daddy. Rosa Chemical but in Berlin club and make it bit emo. God I love talented slutty men.

THE FACT THAT JANN DIDN’T WIN SHOWS THAT THIS COUNTRY IS DOOMED. WITH JANN WE HAD AN ACTUAL CHANCE TO FUCKING WIN JKWBFHWJNERWHVNJWOBTHNJERHE I WANNA KILL SOMEONE

You’re my winner, i can snatch Blanka’s doczepy for you. Or idk, do womething so that you could replace her. I’m not even kidding.

Ahhhh 1000/10, on my way to listen more of his music because DAMN

Kuba Szmajkowski „You Do Me”

Nah.

5/10 at most (but after Jann it will all seem shit so xd)

Maja Hyży „Never Hide”

Don’t like her for some reason but let’s see. Well…nice hair.

4/10

Natasza Urbańska „Lift U Up”

Still not over what she did in the bathroom🕯️xd. Song mediocre at best. Something you can hear in the mall. And you don’t enjoy it.

3,5/10

Jan „Yan” Majewski („Champion”)

Ok not bad? But I’m not going crazy. The lyrics got me rolling me eyes, but I guess it’s this genre. Wouldn’t play it again but I don’t hate it. I like his voice.

6/10

Right, i’m gonna go and rage over the fucking idiots making Blanka win. Anyone want’s to go burn TVP with me?

#esc #esc eliminations #esc poland #poland #tvp #tu bije serce europy #yeah right #fuck you guys #jann #blanka #or chav #polish tag

LINKIN PARK SOLDIERS FOR CEASEFIRE

“Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something” - Linkin Park - Hands Held High

As the band remains silent on the ongoing violence happening in Gaza and parts of the West Bank, we, the fans of Linkin Park, will not stand in silence as Palestinians face what humanitarian organizations such as the UN have categorized as genocide.

Hospitals, schools, mosques, churches, bakeries, fishing boats, solar panels, and water tanks have all been targets of bombing by the IDF, funded in large part by American tax dollars. Over 15,000 people have been killed, 6000+ of which are children. Electricity and water supplies have been cut off, affecting millions.

We urge members of the band to use their platform and speak up, to not be silent on their tax dollars being used to fund these atrocities. We call for an immediate ceasefire and a safe exchange of hostages. We call for an end to the siege on Gaza, the theft of homes and land, and the systemic oppression of Palestinians. Enough is enough.

Who cares if one more light goes out? Well, we do.

Hey Alicja!! This is random but I just wanted to say thank you! Back in my heavier marvel fan days but especially 2018 through 2021 I was totally obsessed with your art and it was a big reason for why I became apart of the stony community! Around the pandemic my brother got me into anime (conveniently when I when my mom and me had Covid and couldn’t get off the couch for a week much less fight for the remote 🤣) anyways long story short he got my into one piece and I immediately was like yeah zoro and sanji have something so I started looking at zosan art accounts and it’s so crazy that all those years that I saw you posting zosan I genuinely had no idea who they were but I always have loved your art. So crazy that your art has gotten me into 2 of my favorite ships of all time. I’m glad to be back here again and so grateful that you still make art even though I know it isn’t easy for artists these days especially. Rant over but thank you so much for all the hard work and time you put into everything you create, Alicja. We’re all so grateful for you <3

So sorry for the late reply!! I'm so bad at this but please know that your ask made me so happy each time I reread it. like, seriously. And yeah, I feel like there is a big overlap between Stony AND Zosan fans, so – glad to be of service :D Thanks so much for your kind words! <3

As a companion post, i also redid my least favourite Gwent card art into a top 20, though i daresay a lot of the technical complaints are universal. I'll try not to be too mean.

Also under the cut.

My (but i am objectively correct) top 20 least favourite Gwent card arts:

They can't all be precious...

There's a certain amount of "why is she naked" or "why is she dead" or "why is she dead and naked" kinda art, but then Karol Bem rolled up and somehow made the card pool so much worse. At least Whoreson Jr. is technically impressive.

20: Ciaran aep Easnillen by Bryan Sola ...however i'm still allowed to not like it when my blorbos suffer on their card arts. Bryan is a great artist and i'm sure he didn't mean malice, unfortunately this is Ciaran's most memorable (read: literally only) scene. This is mostly personal bias.

19: Milva by Bartłomiej Gaweł To be nice! I like the tiled floor, that's a nice level of detail. I like her practical outfit in the spirit of the old minigame art, too. Heck, even the tragic irony of the scene wouldn't be so bad - she clearly shot before getting shot... If only this wasn't Milva's only card art for years and if she wasn't a well-explored book character with plenty of scenes to choose from. It could've been way worse too i guess.

18: Chapter of Wizards by Maciej Łaszkiewicz Listen. Maciej is a cool artist with a very distinct, also quite "classical painting" style. I like a lot of his pieces from the last card sets. But. Whose idea was to solve the question of representing a historically changing organization with a statue of its founders? Furthermore, who thought people are gonna be blown away by the in-game avatar this inevitably spawned? :D It's just funny more than anything. I guess I can appreciate the Lord of the Rings reference.

17: Mammuna, also by Maciej Łaszkiewicz This one is unfortunately not that funny. I'm not sure i can explain it; it's a Monsters card, offputting things are the name of the game. This is one of the artworks that definitely, or probably, fall under completely personal reactions, or at least i never heard loud complaints about it the same way say Coup de Grâce is widely considered one of the best Nilfgaard card arts. Maybe i don't like how the character design seems a bit random, maybe i'm tired of the tired witch=hooked nose trope, maybe it's the color scheme and weirdly unpleasant looking textures. I guess it's just very much not for me.

16: Selfeater by Alicja Użarowska Similar case as previously. I don't even mind a lot of gross art - the infamous Parasite (the parallels now that bg3 is out lol) isn't on this list - and the Monsters faction is there to go crazy with this type of stuff. And yet, i can't stand this little abomination, and neither can most of the Gwent playerbase. It's not even the toe-in-mouth that really makes it bad, at least for me it's the texture and stretching of its skin. It simultaneously looks like it's melting and about to tear apart. Just an overall no thanks.

15: Miner by Christof Grobelski Christof is my new, excuse the zoomer language, pogchamp, because i think he is severely underrated given the crazy impressive lengths he went into with card art like Vivaldi Bank and even Phooca, and Miner isn't really bad. Unfortunately, fear of depths.

14: Doppler by Bartłomiej Gaweł Bartłomiej loves himself some dirt and mud and wet beast wednesday, and i can appreciate that. But this one isn't it. The palette, the scene. This, beside Dudu's card art, is the only way dopplers are represented in the game, and that's a shame. Leave the poor soul alone :(.

13: Brehen by Oleksandr Kozachenko I'm sorry to say, this is the weakest Way of the Witcher art. I appreciate it's the one scene everyone knows Brehen for, but why must he look like the village lowlife parents tell you not to talk to? I mean, not that Brehen could be trusted with kids. He's despicable, but that doesn't need to be communicated by making him look unappealing. On the other hand, wouldn't his personality have more impact if he was comparatively good looking? Or maybe i'm a shallow bitch who'd rather some eye candy... To give some credit to the character design though, the fact the lady is wearing the opposite of revealing clothes is a welcome refreshment. And i quite like the shading on her clothes too.

12: War Chariot by Grafit Studio There are a couple of more fairytale-like, bright and whimsical card arts, and there are arts with smoother, almost glossy textures, neither is really my issue with this. What rubs me the wrong way is the scene itself. It comes off as showing the elves as something grotesque, the butt of a joke, and, sure, this is a Northern Realms card, but it still feels... unserious in the wrong way. Admittedly i am biased.

11: Toad Prince by Marek Madej It's again a matter of personal taste in the Monsters faction, because in essence, everything i don't like about it can really be justified by having the red faction sticker. But he still looks like a formless mass of vaguely green snot to me. And his comparably thin little arms look like he's wearing long sleeves that also got covered in green snot. Which, admittedly, was the case for the whole sewer in Hearts of Stone, so who am i to complain. It's far from the worst, maybe it shouldn't be this high on the list, at least this piece mostly fades into obscurity and Marek is an actually skilled artist. I'm saying this because Bem's time draws near.

10: Vilgefortz by Nemanja Stankovic Full personal bias. Technically very much fine between the different textures, little drama in the lighting and fire particles borrowed from Bryan Sola. Look at the crazed look in Vilgefortz's face, lore accurate. Then look at the gloves of the guy he's melting into paste. And then suffer with me.

9: King Radovid V by Nemanja Stankovic and Radovid: Judgment by Valeriy Vegera Ok, this is a special case. I'm lumping them together because my issue with them is the same; their metatext. CDPR has a very obvious boner for Radko and despite writing him to be a complete cringefail idiot, they keep pretending like he's the coolest mf this side of Yaruga. If they actually allowed him to be the 17yo grooming victim he is with some nuance and without the thinly veiled nationalism projected onto the worst possible candidate with no self-reflection, i'd hate his ass (at leas the Gwent one) a lot less. Also the second art is the stupidest decision in the last card drop. Calanthe died for this. Literally.

8: Saov Ainmhi'dh by Ivan Vilmant Price of Power's infamous outsourcing of card art led to this unfortunate letdown. The artist tried! You can tell. But, in a spark of bitter irony, the spectral deer ended up looking as plastic as the Hobbit movies it references.

7: Temple of Melitele by Karol Bem This should be higher and would be if i didn't have to go through some more "please don't do this, good artist". But trust, this is one of Karol's worst crimes against good card art. From afar it looks alright! Cute piece with maybe even a bit of an old postcard vibe. Then you look closer and it falls apart completely. From the top; some roofs have texture, some don't. Some windows and arches don't line up or have ever so slightly off perspective. In places that are unexplainably sharper or blurrier than others, it's apparent Karol used extra assets. And on the very left, the foliage just sort of blends in until it disappears, because Karol doesn't understand depth. As a cherry on top, check out the little wooden bridge making no sense. The more and closer one looks, the more of a mess it is. Karol, you bloody hack.

6: Savvy Huckster by Siarhei Hlushakou This one, surprisingly enough, is more bearable upon closer inspection, but something about it used to absolutely grate my nerves when i still played or watched the game somewhat regularly. I don't know if it's the odd use of its color palette, the kind of obsolete idea of a card to begin with or the weird rocks on the tray unpleasantly standing out, or all of the above, but i can't stand looking at it for too long. But again. At least the artist actually painted something. Right, Karol?

5: Kerack Cutthroat by Valeriy Vegera Technically alright, if only too dark and washed up. Then again, the scene itself is tired too. The "why is she naked and dying?" And actually, taking the premium into account, why must she be getting stabbed over and over infinitely? Y'all didn't think this one through, did you. I'm sorry Valeriy, i still love your art, but this one really wasn't it on pretty much any front. But, even for this one, like every other legitimate artist on this list, you get the honorary "not a hack" badge.

4: Saint Gregory and Rosa and Edna var Attre by Karol Bem These two don't necessarily have all the same issues, but i guess there isn't enough slots in the universe to describe Karol's astonishingly low levels of competence. St. Gregory suffers from Karol's lack of depth understanding, but moreso it's a good example of that thing he does where he applies atrocious amounts of noise or grain onto everything. Enlarge and look at the area of and around the center left guy in the forefront. I'm also really not a fan of the magic fire glow this thing has. Rosa and Edna deserved so much better. To get the carelessness out of the way, check out Rosa's thumb in the foreground. What. Both their faces are inhumanly smooth, someone said they might be 3D models painted over and i wouldn't be surprised. Even in such a detail as the texture of the wooden sword you can kind of tell Karol relies on outsourced assets and thelike a lot; he doesn't have that much of a personal style (other than the awful grain) so when a unique texture shows up, it's probably safe to assume he pasted it in. To top it all off, the lighting of this piece is atrocious.

3: Yaga by Bogdan Rezunenko and Lesser Witch by Karol Bem Fatphobia. Just don't. That's to Bogdan. You, Karol, quit trying to fit in with the cooler kids, and by that i mean you should've long since quit making Gwent art by the time this unfortunately saw the light of day. I did promise i'll try not to be too mean, but there really isn't much to say about these two. Bogdan is a capable artist who should maybe check his biases or maybe just think about whether the way too estabilished visual shorthands for evil are faulty (they are). Karol Bem wouldn't know believable illusion of perspective and good texturing if they smacked him across the face.

2: Artaud Terranova by Katarzyna Bekus Molegion actually tried to explain this one to me. And, sure, having terrible characters with terrible traits represented by doing terrible things is fine on paper. For once we got a book scene, too (god why are most of the book scenes in Gwent all the painful stuff), that's cool. Making the canon pedo fat, i think less so. It's otherwise technically a good artwork with merits, i like Ciri's hair, the textures in the columns and the color palette. The pose, as much as i hate it, makes anatomical sense (this will become relevant in a short bit). But i can't get over how in the premium Ciri has to wriggle around waiting for Geralt who just won't show up. In the end, did Terranova have to exist in Gwent at all? Since this was in the Thanedd drop, why not a Nilfgaard Isengrim card? That would've been cool. He actually has a few usable book scenes.

"Honorable" mention: Little Bird by Karol Bem Karol's worst tendencies: the card. A pile of assets, none of which are fitted, or in the case of the stuff hanging from the ceiling, even cropped well. Misunderstanding of depth, the hanging herbs are blurry but the guys under them are sharp, the items in the foreground are blurry again but way too much. Strands of the girl's hair straight up cut off in the middle and then resume again. And, of course, a noise effect to try to cover it all up. I swear to god Karol.

1: Vereena by, of course, Karol Bem I hate to hate it. Because it could've been another book-adjacent scene and the color scheme is actually a rare moment of brightness for Karol, because usually, Vereena is put in colder tones. But unfortunately, he bungled this one in a whole new kind of spectacular fashion. The leg. The leg is very obviously, undeniably, comically, anatomically...incorrect. The rest of her isn't very good either, the front hand looks awkward, her neck and shoulders aren't properly built. The foot is too small. Even the hair is made in a way that makes it look like a weirdly solid mass. The drapery doesn't make sense in the waist area. On a vibe or depicted scene level, there are probably pieces i loathe more than this one, but as an artist and a person with legs, the painfully obvious anatomy issue of this one earns it the title of worst Gwent art in my book. Karol Bem is a hack, which is why this happened at all. I'm willing to believe he's not a malicious person either, but he should probably stop seeking work in a field he clearly has to fake his way through. Perhaps he'd make a better graphic designer?

To add something more positive at the end of this list as a whole, Gwent has a card pool of, i believe, a little over a thousand and a couple hundred, and the strong majority of it are incredibly stunning works of art. The overall quality is of its own kind, and it's much easier to choose 20 amazing and impactful pieces than find 20 that are bad enough to be ripped apart online. The existence of premiums is cool, but the static art on its own is some of the best modern fantasy art to be found. That's really heckin cool for an obscure game set in a relatively obscure universe.

#shut up elis #the witcher #gwent: the witcher card game #bem gave me a tummy ache it's nearly 4am and i'm about to peace out #read peace as pass btw #(im fine)

Two bros chilling at a restraunt five feet apart-

"So what was your dad like?"

Draven tapped the table, inquiring about what words he would use to describe Benjamin Kondraki.

"My dad could be described in a... multitude of ways. I guess it always depended on what day you caught him."

"Seems right." Mikell leaned back in his chair. He was out of his tell-tale state of O5 and was able to relax and let his guard down... somewhat. Draven picked up, "So what about your dad?"

Mikell paused, "Adam? I don't inherently know. He was a tad bit distant, but I still have some fond memories of him?" Draven picked up one of the breadsticks off the table, "I remember when my dad used to spend quite a bit of time with us."

"...us?"

"Yeah." Draven bit into the breadstick, it had a garlic coating with butter and a hint of something else, basil maybe. It was dry so he couldn't tell, "Me and my mom."

"Mmh." Mikell couldn't put his hand on proper socializing in this exact moment, so he pulled his hand up and mimicked Draven's behavior. He tried to APPEAR normal, but it just seemed like hesitant, jarred movement in the form of copying. Draven was trained, not just by the Foundation but by his dad as well.

So of course, he noticed this.

"What was it like growing up with your family?"

Mikell's boot tapped on the concrete that nested under them. "Well, out on the ranch, dad was always working and apart from our tasks on the ranch, it was mostly just me 'n my siblings playing." Mikell desperately tried to hide his accent. Which he always sucked at, "A kid got hurt or scraped a knee and mom would holler for TJ to come help us. It was usually Jack getting hurt. He was a bit reckless sometimes but had a brain like none other."

Draven picked up a napkin, waiting for his food to arrive, "Thats interesting" He thought about how he recognized Jack, and his mind drifted back.

Mikell continued onward, "What about your family, kiddo?"

--------------------

Draven went a bit quiet.

"Well I... Have an aunt. Crazy aunt from Poland, rarely get to see her but Auntie Alicja used to send me gifts every birthday, guess that's good."

Mikell looked at him. "Ben's got a sister?"

"Yeah, she's his twin actually."

"Well I'll be damned, he never mentioned her."

Draven laughed a little, recalling more about his aunt to Mikell.

Things were quiet for a while, as Draven thought about what else to say. As he considered the few relatives he's met, Mikell asked a question that hit like a bullet.

"So, what's your mom like?"

A pause between them, as Draven tried to find the words. He opened his mouth a few times, catching himself on the words, like a fish unable to find water.

"We don't talk about mom. It's been a while, but I don't want to think about it and I know dad wouldn't want me to tell just anyone-"

"Shit, kid, I'm sorry-"

"It's okay, you didn't know, just don't ask again and... Don't pry. Please."

Mikell's curiosity was piqued however.

--------------------

He really did want to know Draven's family life, after all, Dr. Kondraki was a known person among the o5. Mainly for his reckless stunts like trying to ride 682 and somehow being successful. But Mikell has gone through many conversations where it just landed on the topic on his family and he just had to smile awkwardly and tentatively give as much as he was willing to give until the person would be satisfied with his answers.

So Mikell sucks up his burning questions and decides to ask a harmless question to the mft member. "So... How's family life like with Dr. Clef, 166, and 408?"

Okay maybe the question wasn't that harmless but Draven just snorted into his cup.

"How do I start?" Draven mused. "For starters, i dont catch any of Dad's latest adventure until Dr. Clef whispers them to me during dinner." He said, with a smile slowly inching onto his face as he remembers the many stories he never heard about his dad.

Clef always exaggerates the details but it was funny hearing him with his best doctor voices. Right before his dad comes in and slaps Clef's mouth before dragging him off to somewhere else. 408 always made sure Draven knew the gossip, good butterflies.

"Oh?" Mikell asks, subconsciously leaning forward to hear what Draven is about to say. "Pray do tell these stories. No one's going to hear us."

Not really a specific question, I'd love to know anything about two dancing miners from Ballad of Silesia if you don't mind sharing 👀

THEY'RE ACTUALLY MY COMFORT OCS SO!

The man on right is called Michał. He's the protagonist of Ballad about Silesia during the 1980s arc. Half-German, resident of Giszowiec and a steiger in the coal mine "Wieczorek" (hence the white feather). He's a gay man and partner of Eliasz (man on left). Michał's personality is based on a stereotypical steiger in the coal mine, i.e being sarcastic, mean and rather not liked among other miners – Michał really dislikes the communist government and has realistically-pessimistic approach to life. As a true Silesian, he hates Warsaw and everything related to the capital... Besides Eliasz. The man lives in one of the remaining twin houses in Giszowiec, instead of moving to the cold apartment buildings built to house even more miners working in the city of Katowice.

Man on left is called Eliasz and he's Michał's secret partner. He's the deuteragonist of the 1980s arc. Eliasz hails from Warsaw, where he lived until mid-1970s with his family – in 1976 he moved with his wife Alicja and son Wojtek to Katowice to work as a miner in "Wieczorek". At first, he was just a coworker of Michał, they sometimes smoked together before the administration's building, but Michał was rather wary of him because he was a Varsovian. Only after some time they caught common ground and became friends. [OUTDATED] At some point, Eliasz noticed he had a crush on the steiger – even tho he was still married, they had an affair, since his marriage with Alicja was falling apart. Eliasz is very calm and polite (says "excuse me?" instead of "what?", etc), and he's into current politics. Matfiz vibes. Paranoid about... Many things, like being in a same-sex relationship.

They stayed in a relationship for many, many years, then got married in 2017 in Germany as old men. I care them, even if their relationship is complex and often had problems.

Here's the latest shipart I've done with them!

ACTIVITY DECEMBER

During my trip to London I was very active, since me and Alicja Niemczyk decided that our main source of transport was walking. We wanted to see as many places as possible and on this day we were active from around 12pm to midnight, and did not take any breaks apart from sitting down to eat.

Even though we spent half the day walking, I did not feel extremely tired. I was busy sightseeing and I can say that I enjoyed this activity.

25.02.24// went to see priscilla yesterday and i absolutely loved it! i've read the book before (just as like 95% of all elvis-related things ever published) and i was really curious about how the movie turned out - it was even better than expected though!

last week at work really exhausted me, so i just chilled a bit which is always appreciated!

welcome to afon vale, roos! please stop by the town hall to pick up your welcome package and you have twenty four hours to send in your account(s). can you hear the whispers?

☼☾ ( olivia cooke , 400 / 27 ) , she / they , demi woman, nixie, princess ) - have you seen ALICJA CEFNFOR? they’ve been living in afon vale for 300 YEARS and they really think they’re safe. people say that they’re ENIGMATIC but i heard they’re CALCULATING. you can usually find them working as a/an OWNER at THE ROYAL OAK. they’ve tried hard to keep THE CHILD SHE HAD WITH A HUMAN YEARS AGO buried but the truth always comes out. a few things that remind me of them are … dark hair perfectly styled despite her protests, jasmine scented perfume lingering behind, coaxing grins that could rope you into anything, worn leather bound books, the anticipation that dark clouds on the horizon brings. ( roos , 24, cst , she/her , stalking )

The Ledge #548: Annual Rock and Roll Christmas Party!

The annual Ledge holiday special is probably the easiest show of the year to put together...but not for the reasons you probably assume. Yes, it would be a breeze to just cull tracks from the same favorite Christmas albums year after year. Nobody would even notice if I ever repeated a song or two.

But I'm thrilled that year after year there is a plethora of new holiday tunes to check out. More and more artists put out Christmas albums. More and more labels put out new compilations. And, most importantly, more and more artists are using their bandcamp pages to put out surprise individual tracks that are quite often free!

So this year's show is, with a handful of exceptions, brand new tunes! If you enjoy great punk, indie, Americana, and power pop there should be something here for you. There's also no silly novelty songs (well, maybe one). There's no maudlin weepers. Musically, each and every song would fit at home on a "normal" episode of The Ledge. So crank this at your family gathering!

I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion! You can find this show at almost any podcast site, including iTunes and Stitcher...or
