The spotted pardalote (Pardalotus punctatus) is one of the smallest of all Australian birds at 3.1 to 3.9 in in length, and one of the most colourful. And, today I rescued one trapped in the third level of my office underground car park. It perked up once I got it outside. 😇

A good summary of how, with greed & stupidity (again), music labels screwed the public & the artists (again), then screwed themselves (again). https://t.co/nXCaRV56Ny

Bruce @Springsteen turns fan, maybe even devotee, on a new album of soul/R&B covers that's respectful, brassy, E Street-free, string-packed. He sounds good but the question is does he bring something new/personal or, importantly, something you need to have? https://t.co/wVWIasQuj3

@calebgamman "What if bass never existed and our houses were made of tin." 🧐: Interesting... but it's missing something. I can't put my fing— "Silence. Dramatic, disorienting silence. With no payoff at the end." 🧐: *chef's kiss*
