This album is going to be FANTASTIC!!!

I am collecting practical methods from pond keepers who fixed recurring string algae without harming fish.

What worked best for you?

I can share a short checklist we use if mods are happy for me to post it in comments.

ill meet you on the corner of MY STREET

I’m attempting a 12x5 rectangl, 3.5 at deepest section, ledge around 2 sides. It is in a city backyard, in a historic district, so it has to be sort of formal (ie not natural looking) and a spout in the side to move water and create sound. A few plants. Maybe a fish? Our dog is a bit of a wild card in this. Everything I see says pump and aerator but not sure if the spout would take care of aeration in a pond this small? Also not sure how the electricity works on this; all of the drawings show pump/aerator on bottom of pond —no cord, somehow magically working, but i know they plug in. Does the cord just get hidden up along liner and then poked through top capstones and trenched to the place where you’re plugging it in? Or am I missing something?

That '80s new wave/post-punk sound is fucking delicious! I'm so happy with the direction they decided to go in with this new album. Based on this snippet, the title track, and especially Two Hands, I can already tell that I'm probably gonna love it just as much as The Weather, 9, and Stung!.

Love the new song, I’m back with another cool observation:

The first line of the first chorus:

“If your blood pumps and your heart beats,”

If you listen closely with good headphones, the lead vocal take in the left ear starts to say “if your heart” but then corrects to “blood”.

It adds an interesting contrast to the main vocal and also I just love when bands keep mistakes like that in their songs. Reminds you that it’s art made by humans who make errors.

It also makes me wonder how many vocal takes they allowed themselves before moving on! It speaks to the deeper ethos of how they made the album in that way. Basically it’s cool and you’ll never unhear it.

Hello Pond fans!

I’ve managed to score a ticket to the Pond concert in Toronto on July 24th, a couple days before I’m set to see Tame Impala. This will most likely be the first concert I ever attend, and then Tame will be my second. For those who’ve seen Pond live, what should I expect from the show?
