Book Review
The 5th Wave
Could not put it down. Much better than the movie. Its funny and intriguing and engaging. I like the switching povs and the order in which the story was told.

2/6/26.
Postal Blue began as a 4 piece band in the late 1990s. Of course, I'm learning about the band here in the early days of 2026 - I first listened to the new EP "Anxiety of Influence". From the first guitar/bass notes on "Man to Child" I assumed I was listening to a British C86 or C86 adjacent band.
And while I assume Postal Blue would be honored with the C86 comparison, the adjacent is a hard sell, at least geographically. The band is from Brazil (one website mentions Sao Paolo). Their indie pop credentials are solid having released music on Shelflife, Cloudberry, Dufflecoat, and Jigsaw Records (you can find physical releases on Discogs). I chose this split with with Pale Sunday as an easily digestible one (this 7" was a co-release from Dufflecoat and Jigsaw).
As for influences, the clearest to me are The Smiths, The Go-Betweens and R.E.M. Adriano (Postal Blue is now down to a one-man outfit) was asked who his favorite bands were and he mentioned friends The Very Most, The Royal Landscaping Society and Soft Science.
i suppose i have always been here / drinking the same water / falling from the sky then floating / back up & down again / i suppose i am something like a salmon / climbing up the river / to let myself fall away in soft / red spheres / & then rotting
