  Quite a few tracks by Alien Weaponry would count as #History Some personal to the band "The people responded by assembling on the hilltop at Pukehinahina. ... Amongst them stood our great great great grandfather, Te Aho Aho." https://alienweaponry.bandcamp.com/track/whaik-rero and carry on https://alienweaponry.bandcamp.com/track/r-ana-te-whenua-2 #JukeboxFridayNight

  Stranger at the Ranchslider, another from NZ's underappreciated Ross Mullins (& the snaps). This is about the death of poet James K Baxter. AFAICS there is only this low quality live video available online https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1ch1gHdC8o&list=RDw1ch1gHdC8o #JukeboxFridayNight #History

  Since adding a couple of simple information requests to the "Why do you want to join this instance" signup question, and stating that applications that fail to include them will be rejected, I have rejected 100% of new signups in record time. Looks like most of them are lifting the bio info from other existing fediverse accounts. @lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nz #FediModeration

  Merita - from Stranger at the Ranchslider album by Ross Mullins & the Snaps. (couldn't find this audio anywhere on the web) "... when Merita, she sits down at the keys, she weaves a spell of wonder, she sings a verse of Autumn Leaves, Japanese just love that number ..." #MusicMusiciansAndMashups #JukeboxFridayNight
