sorry for the double post, but I had to share this one too:
@UltimateRiff I just found out about an amazing punk performance, I really hope it’s true, lol
Italian Band Eats Spaghetti On Stage Rather Than Play Music #funfact - YouTube
I might just add it to MusicBrainz…
@lazybookwyrm New instrument
…and yes, I did add it to MusicBrainz… lol
edit: …the performance, not the instrument…

from MEB-148:
@aerozol: All done, if you go into the design system > brand > logos, you will now see a ‘monochrome’ folder for all projects[…]
@kellnerd: Hmm, am I blind or have you created monochrome versions for all projects except MusicBrainz?
aerozol: Hey, what’s that, look over there! …Oh look, the MusicBrainz monochrome logos are now there and always definitely were there
Thanks David!
