Bring back personal blogging

As social media changes, Twitter slowly falls, and the landscape seems bleak, let’s take a moment and consider blogging. The personal blog built the internet, and maybe it can help fix it.

The word “Mistletoe” derives from the old English ‘tān’, meaning ‘twig’ & the Germanic base ‘mix’ (‘mistle’), which means ‘dung’.

It literally means ‘shitty twig’. The Oxford English Dictionary suggests this may be because ‘the plant is propagated in the excrement of birds’.

I discovered their album via the inner sleeve of a John Cale album: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7eYHNim4KvsruaQ3RVlpJT?si=be4b3d944f8646ba
"MX-80's signature sound consisted of breakneck metallic guitar combined with atonal chord structure, cross-rhythmic percussion and dispassionate vocals." They sound like a 70s #artrock #underground predecessor to #lcdsoundsystem, and their 1978 album 'Art Attack' deserves way more than the 398 monthly listeners they currently have: https://open.spotify.com/album/5qIAGr56lIjdK14jOosSFb?si=QRI9iCyRTxuAyAOcd56TwQ #mx80 #MX80Sound
