Not doing social media a lot lately, but I do hope you stumble onto our album. And I'd love if Gregg Popovich is able to both retire gracefully and use his cachet to speak on what's happening to the USA.

The great thing about DAREDEVIL is he really has the least weird superhero shit, his working-class revenge shtick is way more relatable than Batman's, he's kinda peak-Scorsese NY noir, his most fanciful aspects: SONAR and a grappling hook. He's just realer, I mean if you ellide the magic ninja part.

Am now watching cricket, rugby, distant tennis to fill the sleepless nights while not intaking world news. Live events in the wee hours are comforting. Cricket, no idea, but pretty chill. Rugby's thrilling. Haven't adopted a side yet, but all the Australian NRL team names are rad. Recs welcomed.

Happy #ValentinesDay. A few tracks on our debut album are only on Bandcamp, not on the streamers, like this one. It's sort of a doowop about lost love and noodles. #12Valentines #newmusicfriday #indiepop 12valentines.bandcamp.com/track/9000-c...

Wow we really beelined to the "if it wasn't Trump it'd be somebody worse" part of the argument.

Unpacking the "smile, babe!" trope from a therapeutic perspective

Am in a pretty low mood but I watched that documentary about Jeremy Lin, HBO's 38 AT THE GARDEN? Damn that shit was wonderful. It lays out the #AsianAmerican thing pretty succinctly but like with an unusual amount of hope.

Our track "Aurora" is in @rosyoverdrive.com 's roundup of January 2025 indie music along with many cool new songs, and there's a playlist! 12 Valentines, we are called. #indiepop #synthpop (I say it's about Marvel's Alpha Flight mainly cos saying a song is about "relationships" makes me unhappy)

The Jawas in DUNE PART 2 go incredibly hard.

About a year since starting to write this song down on a COVID-addled night. Last year took forever. Good god. What're we gonna do.

A super-annoying thing: AI blogs/bots tryna ensnare indie musicians, artists, writers with the uncanny valleyspeak. Not cos it's new, cos it's the same. Platforms aggregating DIY folks, extracting every drop of value from their dreams. A new way to do same with even less engagement of the artwork.

Please make it make sense why none of those situations were Derrick Henry situations, for those of us who watch your shows faithfully @minakimes.bsky.social

And for pity's sake, don't share your favorite David Lynch scenes by forcing your phone into your friend's face. He would hate that. Re-enact them, recite a line, something.

Would you like to review an indie album with a comicbook nerd concept? We made one. If intrigued I'll send you a DL code. #12Valentines 12valentines.bandcamp.com/album/secret...

I do enjoy listening to my own album as the peppy retropop soundtrack pacing up the mumblecore movie of my mediocre existence, so that's a win

Full moon tonight. Watch out for this guy! 🤍

It seems the trending tide is toward social media being deemphasized for the noncelebrity majority, and folks who commendably took the high road by not getting addicted to the shit will be proven wise. But pragmatically, what will the indie artists do? What will the chronically-alone sorts do?

No, but what is your favorite time the X-Men died and came back to life? youtu.be/Y1D4e30YLvY?...

Would you agree with this fine fellow's review of our song "Costume Party" by 12 Valentines? Find it on bandcamp or the streamers and evaluate for yourself! I love how the track came out, but have bias toward my own angst.

My New Year's resolution is to buy 2000 writing pens every day, so that I will occasionally have a writing pen.

UK music blog Trust The Doc on our #12Valentines track COSTUME PARTY: "A sardonic lyric set to a classic (dare I say, almost christmassy) but slightly melancholy melody...Expressive female vocals..clever harmonising...The deep bass drives things along..the vocals keep me hooked." ♥☯🙏

1st post for 2025 about our album existing, and you may get it on bandcamp, playlist/add us on the spotify/apple/youtube music places. There'll be a bunch. SECRET INFINITY by 12 VALENTINES. Snarky lyrics, superhero comics vibes. Links below. Pictured: Victoria and Max doing song stuff in Oakland.

Watching the animated Crisis On Infinite Earths, baked, and it's amazing. It's a Perezian excuse to draw everybody and service every fan and it makes zero sense. I've NO idea what is happening. It's SO GOOD.

What are the Marvel/DC releases we'll be fatigued and/or fascinated by in 2024? An end of the year listicle for @thenerdsofcolor.bsky.social. thenerdsofcolor.org/2024/12/30/1...

Last week of the NFL season I'd like to build a 3-leg JJ parlay with Jerry Jeudy, Justin Jefferson, and Josh Jacobs. They've all been pretty consistent for 60+ yds, a TD or 2. Am I forgetting any JJs?

The clip from INTERIOR CHINATOWN in the Disney+ sizzle ad is of the martial arts fight scene and that kinda sums up how it is being Chinese American, folks. There's nothing we do that isn't a kung fu movie.

IS Pickett's tush as pushable as Hurts'?

It's Brock Purdy's birthday today. #49ers season hasn't gone great, but Purdy's still a Breakout Phenomenon. Like Buster Posey was. And perhaps B-Podz will Become Presently...? dommah.substack.com/p/bp3-is-bra...
