No matter what you think about one #NASA project or another there's no doubt that @NASA is cool/hip - with branding visibility near the top - globally. H/T David Rager @regard Let's see what @rookisaacman does with this ;-) "Nasa on the fashion frontier" usatoday.com/story/studiog/l… #softpower

The exclusive @Monorail_Music pressing of Oh Boy on beer-colored vinyl sold out in less than a day (WHAT?!?) but you can still snag this version, which we swear is just as intoxicating 🍻
If you missed @massagetheband's Oh Boy Monorail edition yesterday, don't fret. You can order this snazzy Clear with Black Vinyl version, same music on it and everything. Listening to Lydia now and itching to be at a show, showered with harmony, so good:bit.ly/3HdSxGo

Our new @NASAJPL Director @LaurieofMars just introduced herself during a Town Hall today, and I'm just blown away by her enthusiasm, intelligence, humility and grace (she also tells great stories). There is so much to look forward to as she leads us to #DareMightyThings!!!

“Their guitar-driven, synth-accented music masterfully counterposes sunny melodies & wistful melancholia, exuding an innocence that belies their deft songcraft. Back in the day, this music was played by boys in collared shirts and girls in horizontal stripes. Or vice versa.” 🖤
Unfinished business from 2021 (cont.): L.A. quintet @Massagetheband had an awfully good year — they released an album and an EP that feel like a drive through indie-pop history. They’ve found their own scenic lane. bit.ly/3K4fYEs

Monorail is the record shop of our dreams — honored that ‘Still Life’ is sharing the racks with so much music we love 🖤
Speaking of POP of the jangle-/power-/indie- variety , here's a treat for y'all: It's the 2nd LP from LA's Massage (ft Alex formerly of @thepainsofbeing) Packed full of hooks & wistful vocals & even one song of a Westerbergian flavour, idk I just love it? bit.ly/2Xu91Jx
