Question 1: Why is Apple Music sending me alerts about Backstreet Boys? Question 2: Why did it take me to their album from 1996? Are Backstreet Boys even releasing new music in 2026? 🤨

It doesn't matter that the tracking app says delivery will be on Thursday, I still regularly check to see if it might have teleported from Denmark to Rovaniemi in the last hour.

She doesn't show it, but my wife definitely appreciates being bombarded with Reg Varney and On the Buses facts before 9am on a Sunday morning. 💜

I'm really enjoying these Rage/ARIA Charts compilations on YouTube. So many forgotten artists. So many extremely dodgy (in hindsight) songs. So many inexplicable fashion/style trends. It's great fun.

ARIA Top 30 Countdown (Rage) - 24th June 2007
Top 30 songs from the Australian/ARIA music chart, 24th June 2007. Transferred from DVD via Blu-ray, thus the video is in HD (720p). A few other songs beyond No.30 were also added. After the Rage Top 50 finished in July 2006, I kept recording Saturday morning Rage broadcasts on ABC TV until about June 2007, of which the majority of songs played were within the Top 50, just out of order. This video is therefore an assembled countdown from music videos played on Rage, largely between April 2007 to June 2007. A few songs were missing and were added from other sources. This is the final video from my Rage recordings, everything on this channel after June 2007 was fully compiled. A few of the songs were also heavily edited due to Copyright issues. @ClassicARIACountdowns

We watched Kylie Minogue's AFL Grand Final performance this morning. Pretty impressive, to be honest. Kylie's cool and has always seemed like a lot of fun. 💜🇦🇺

Update: it's just Fazerina but in Pätkis form, and 0,14€ more expensive than Pätkis. It's fine, but not amazing.

I also plan to use it as a NOW Yearbook device, so I can listen to the most awful 70s/80s/90s pop and not destroy my Apple Music recommendations. 😎🎧

One of my little projects this weekend was setting up my new little toy. I bought a HiBy R1 MP3 player to use as an offline podcast device, and loaded it with my Get This and Three Bean Salad archives. It's no iPod, but the price was right and it does what I want it to. 🎧👍

My Dad played Any Trouble's 'Where Are All The Nice Girls?' and Joe Jackson's 'Look Sharp!' so often when I was a kid. He'd play some of the songs on guitar as well. I didn't appreciate them at the time, but they're my two favourite power-pop albums now. 💜🎧

Jesse @jesseross.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I think it's a real shame that Any Trouble's 'Where Are All The Nice Girls?' isn't on Apple Music. It's a classic power-pop album that deserves wider recognition. I bought the record on Discogs just to make sure I had a decent quality copy in my collection.

Yesterday I spent half an hour recording my standard process in a new system we're using at work. Checked the video this morning. I'd forgotten to share my screen. It's a 30 minute silent Teams meeting with my stupid face. ☹️

One week to get from Sydney to Helsinki. One day to get from Helsinki to Rovaniemi. The international postal system seems to me like a massive logistical clusterfuck, so I'm always impressed when it works so efficiently.

Why is it that when things from Australia arrive in Finland so much faster if they're sent via Sydney Airport rather than Melbourne? Sometimes stuff sits at Melbourne Airport for a week before it's even loaded onto a plane. But two parcels sent 6 days ago from Sydney are already in Helsinki. 🧐

I'm enjoying the new album from Railcard - a bunch of old indie-poppers who formed a new band. I reckon if you're into Belle & Sebastian or Camera Obscura, Railcard would be your kind of thing. 💜🎧

Our computer at the time had the *tiniest* HDD. So I had to do that 'hack' of deleting music files from the PC via Windows Explorer. It tricked iTunes into thinking they were still there, so it didn't delete them from the iPod the next time it was plugged in. It worked great until it didn't. 🫣

The iPod was my Christmas present so I was meant to wait until then, but I convinced my parents to let me have it early so I could load all my music in. 😎

I got my very first iPod for Christmas 2004. I originally intended to get the 1st gen 4GB iPod mini, but went with the 4th gen 20GB iPod instead. Next Byte was all sold out so we had to buy it from Myer, which was so uncool.

Jesse @jesseross.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
The latest Dankpods video makes me want to dig my old 4th gen iPod out of the cupboard and resurrect it with new internals. Or at least just open it up and get rid of its old battery so it doesn't explode. Assuming it hasn't already.

My dad had an operation this week to remove his left thyroid. He said it was the size of the surgeon's fist. 😐 The op was on Monday, but they gave him fentanyl afterwards so he was still feeling completely out of it when we talked yesterday. That's powerful stuff.

If you were a pop star in the late 90s/early 00s, it was pretty much guaranteed that you'd ride a futuristic CGI motorbike through a futuristic CGI city in a music video.

This morning I'm watching the Rage ARIA countdown from 25/08/2002. Did you know that Daniel Bedingfield had *another* song?

ARIA Top 30 Countdown (Rage) - 25th August 2002
Top 30 songs from the Rage Top 50 countdown (Australian/ARIA music chart), 25th August 2002. Digitised from VHS with audio upgraded. A few songs beyond No.30 were also included as they were part of this week's recording. A few songs were missing and were added from other countdowns or sources. Shout out to @tassietv7530 who uploaded a few countdowns in recent times, of which a few songs have been used to fill gaps. Please be aware that the video only contains 1-2 mins of each song, generally due to Copyright restrictions. Heavy Copyright restrictions applied to Michelle Branch unfortunately in this video. @ClassicARIACountdowns

I also watched the first three eps of Lanterns yesterday. I saw it described as 'a superhero series for people who don't like superheroes', which is accurate. So far, it's basically a show about two guys who own a ring that lets them fly but they don't actually use it for anything.

So my wife is away for work again this weekend. Because she wasn't here to stop me I spent a couple of hours last night watching bits of On The Buses and then some Carry On Doctor. My YouTube recommendations are absolutely *fucked* this morning. 😤

To me, this is the obvious place to display the AirPods battery status. But as far as I can tell, the only way to see that info in iPadOS is either the Batteries widget or the Apple Music app. Have I missed something?

It's fairly horrifying that 'Get Krackin' was on TV almost a decade ago yet is still extremely relevant. Nothing's changed! Everything is still on fire! Nice to see it getting a bit of international exposure, though. 💜🇦🇺
