#introduction

hey, we're a band called clayborne. we play long songs with pretty bits and heavy bits about the emotional lives and social struggles of people in some books called the mars trilogy.

we're four different people and I'm writing this without consulting the others so maybe I'll leave it at that!

Squaring the sf bf discourse with the relative amount of not-men sf fans I know, it is clear that boyfriend is an increasingly gender neutral term. In this essay...

we don't actually have like a band position on real world humans-on-mars plans. last time we talked about it (years ago) I think we had poles of like "could be cool" & "fuck no, ew". speaking as a rep of the "fuck no" caucus, I just wanna say Mars is cool af & these people who want to turn it into their gated (by 200 million km of vacuum) community are morons & scumbags. here's one saying the quiet part loud (& also not having any idea how "nice schools" get cleaned & fed).
mars up, bros down.

Public Service Broadcasting - The Race for Space

Chill beats study relax (but make it sample historical space stuff)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZyLwfrDyjc

also getting back to working on covering this, cause we're like half our own band and half a wannabe Fall of Efrafa/Light Bearer tribute band

https://lightbearer.bandcamp.com/track/silver-tongue

Worked on new stuff together for the first time in over two years (some abortive early-covid remote collaboration effort notwithstanding). Feels awesome.

anybody want 3 toms and/or hihat stand and/or drum throne seat (not the stand part, just the padded thing you actually put yr butt on)?

free to punks (broadly defined)

First album from a Spanish post-metal outfit that started in 2013.

(We also started in 2013 but we still haven't released an album, so we got them beat. They're pretty good though.)
