Quote from: Glüc on June 27, 2026, 01:04:22 PMMy max score took a bit of a hit because my two predicted finalists ended up on the same side of the bracket. þerxh is currently ahead but needs to hope Portugal beats Colombia tonight or he'll face the same problem.

I face the same problem.. it was the 1st time I've wished victory for Portugal!

This week, repost of the famous interview given by @Bentxamì Puntmasleu, on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky and TikTok.

Most of Distain's Talossan bandwidth has been canibalized by the Minister of Propaganda, with whom the Distain share the same physical enveloppe. Entire moral support and admiration for our Seneschal is mostly the main part of the Distain's specific activity... and also getting ready to step in his shoes should the Seneschal wish it :-)

This week, Propaganda posted links to the May issue of La C'hronică, on X, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, Threads and r/Talossa.

General News

• Final standings for TCAT 2026 Leg 1 !
  The Gordon Hiatus Support Team (GHST) wins the first leg of the Talossan Cycling Association Tour Season 5. GHST gets an eighth stagewin, their most ever in a single edition but well short of the record (13 by BDC in Italy 2024). This is likewise the second highest ever winning score. "Cézembre Caçeirs dals Mailintzarăs" (f.k.a. BDC) takes the second place, in front of "Team in the Wind" (ITW), who therefore get a podium in their debut edition.

Quote from: Glüc on May 10, 2026, 07:16:14 AMCocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas

80's sounding (apparently its from 1990) dream pop with shiny bright vocals, post-punky basslines, and indecipherable lyrics. I was only vaguely aware of them before. I did not expect to be this blown away.

Best tracks (in tracklist order): Pitch the Baby, Iceblink Luck, Fifty-fifty clown, Heaven or Las Vegas, I Wear Your Ring, but probably it's best to experience the whole thing from start to finish.

I've always loved Cocteau Twins, and this album is wonderful. Cherry coloured Funk is also a great track. Liz Fraser is such an unforgettable vocalist, she also featured in Massive Attack's Teardrop.
