𝘪'𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 .. Ludo 🎶
Ludo was a big part of my music taste during my adolescent years. The first song I heard by them was “Love me dead”, probably about 2008. A friend of mine showed me the music video and I was into it right off the bat. It’s still one of my favorite music videos, and I think a great introduction into their sound.
I find that lot of their songs and albums differ from each other in sound and genre. They are not one note by any means, and even in those differences, it’s all Ludo. So many of their songs are truly like being told a story. One of their songs, Broken bride, even evolved beyond just a stand-alone song and became a full rock opera they would go onto perform in entirety on tour, as well as occasional stage adaptations.
Despite some of their more serious themes, so many songs are often pierced with plenty of ironic, satirical, and hyperbolic lyrics which only further emphasize their unique voice.
I believe Ludo is a group that mingles silliness and exaggeration with instances of love, loss, and deep devastation, and I really love them for that. I feel like it’s even where I was coming from when coining “Die Laughing Art”

*sharp edges - be mindful !!*
1.) make 2 small cuts in top and bottom of can (preferably with a box cutter)
using your 2 cuts as guidelines, cut the can horizontally
(different can used in representation)
2.) cut until you have the middle section with the design separated from the top and bottom.
use the bottom of the can for the center of your flower
3.) ( if you haven't already, clean can piece you plan to use for your flower) then, on the inside of your sheet, draw the petals for your flower & cut out.
4.) If you'd like to add a ribbon/ wire as a stem, I'd punch a hole in your center piece and feed it through.
Once cut, bend the pointed part of your petals in a 90 degree angle and glue in layers onto the center of your flower.
5.) once you've glued all your petals, i like to add a final few touched of glue to ensure everything stays put :)

This is my framed display of Urbanzees quarter machine toys :-) It was gifted to me last christmas by my lovely partner ♡ (my out- of-box collection is shown to the right- the display I'm working on for them isn't quite done x-x)
I was super into these when I was first collecting quarter machine toys. I believe I used to get them from a machine at the balboa funz one for 25c each. My favorite was and still is Emo Joe (I’ve featured his design on a hoodie and tote bag I’ve made for myself)
There’s another series of quarter machine toys with similar character designs and art style called Block headz that I also collect. My favorite from that series is Loco coco or Jojo Gusto.

"When a scout hornet is detected, hundreds of Japanese honeybees swarm the invader, completely engulfing it to form a dense ball. The bees inside vibrate their flight muscles in unison, and this collective vibration rapidly generates heat. This raises the temperature at the core of the bee ball to approximately 46-47°C (115-117°F), a temperature just above the lethal limit for the hornet."
