2️⃣0️⃣ Something hard to lift
The Human League | Empire State Human | Reproduction | 1979
🎶With concentration
My size increased
And now I'm fourteen stories high
(At least)
Empire State human
Just a bored kid
I'll go to Egypt to be
The pyramids🎶

Bluesky moderation thinks this album cover which has a surreal painting of giant penguins alongside penguin-headed human beings is "sexually suggestive". It's the Penguin Cafe Orchestra! It's about as sexually suggestive as a cup of tea with a couple of digetsive biscuits a side plate.

1️⃣8️⃣ A messy food
Robyn Archer | Baby Food | ABC Kids ONE (v/a) | 1989
My first exposure to Robyn was her album of Brecht + Weill songs, and this (children's) ballad would fit right in

I'm old enough to remember when mobile phones were THIS BIG. Having one meant you were a tosser, due to performative use in public. Dom Joly built a career out of that one observation.

1️⃣6️⃣ A hated* fruit or vegetable
Macka B | Cucumber | single | 2017
Rhythmical and educational. Oh yes, also the only clean song called Cucumber (probably).
*I don't hate cucumber but it hates me

The mechanics of the game seem a bit too like real life: instead of Hit Points you have Will To Live, which starts at 100% but the rules assure us "that won't last".
Also, the three possible outcomes of an action are ranked OK, Ho-Hum and FFS. Can relate.

The cover of two (of six) zines. WOMEN'S WORK, which has drawing of a Grecian type urn on its cover, and UPWARDS (VIEW FROM A TRAIN) which sports a drawing of some electricity pylons in a rural landscape
The covet of CROYDON SPACEPORT MISSION CONTROL which features the famous MLA Tower in blue and purple, and the subtitle A SOLO JOURNALLING GAME OF MUNICIPAL BUREAUCRACY
The postie also brought me a package from @colossive.com . Some of their excellent cartographies (small zines folded in a special way) and the CROYDON SPACEPORT MISSION CONTROL rpg

A cardboard CD sleeve with a picture of willow trees in muted oranges and browns
tbh I wasn't sure which CD this was until O flipped over the packet and saw this sticker. The sign which promises sonic delights
Today has been a good day for high weirdness by mail.
First of all, there's Salix, the new offering from @loulayorke.bsky.social . Top-notch drones, which have been helpful today, because I've been trying to write an essay 😬

Premier Leagure score for Saturday 11 April 2026 (screenshotted from the Guardian). FT Arsenal 1 - 2 AFC Bournemouth
A few weeks ago Arsenal were on for the quadruple. Now it's more-than-fanciful that the only prize they will get this season is the relegation of Spurs. Maybe not even that.
