Indigo De Souza Shares Video for New Song ‘You Can Be Mean’

Indigo De Souza has released ‘You Can Be Mean’, the final advance single from from upcoming LP All of This Will End –out April 28 via Saddle Creek. It follows previous entries ‘Younger & Dumber’ and ‘Smog’. Check out a video for it below.

“I wrote ‘You Can Be Mean’ about a brief toxic experience I had with a manipulative and abusive LA model fuckboy,” De Souza shared in a statement. “However brief, it had a life-long impact on my understanding of self. Leading up to that experience, I had a history of putting myself in toxic situations and pining for validation from people who treated me poorly. I was stuck in some delusion that I could help abusive people through their trauma and teach them to love me in the way I deserved.”

“I wrote this song when I finally realized that I could choose not to allow harmful behavior into my life, and that there is a deep, deep importance in protecting the body and spirit,” she continued. “I stopped caring about validation from assholes, stopped thinking it was my responsibility to help them, and started caring for myself in a real way. Once I made that switch in my psyche, I began to manifest truly loving, safe, kind, and communicative people into my life. Being loved in the way I deserve begins with loving myself in the way I deserve. Boundaries are so important. The body is a sacred and fragile thing and it deserves every ounce of care.”

Payment Methods in New Zealand

When it comes to payments, New Zealand has a vast and ever-growing array of options available for its citizens. From cash and cheques to direct deposits and contactless tra nsactions, Kiwis have access to efficient and reliable payment methods that suit their needs. With the growth in online shopping, mobile phones topping up services, prepaid credit cards becoming more prevalent across the country, there’s no doubt that modern payment modes are making our lives easier when it comes managing finances in day-to-day life. In this blog post we are going discuss various payment methods in New Zealand -cash or cheque payments as well as digital services such as debit/credit cards – so that you can choose what option best fits your budget and lifestyle!

Explore cash payments in New Zealand and how to use them safely

In New Zealand, cash remains an important payment method for small and large purchases. Whether you are purchasing groceries, paying the rent, or having a night out at the casino, both physical currency and digital wallets can be used to make payments. Paypal is one online wallet that is widely accepted at many merchants and is popular among online Paypal casino NZ. With Paypal you can easily link your debit card or bank account to transfer money into your account, allowing you to pay with fewer fees than compared to other types of payment methods. Regardless of how you choose to pay with cash, it is important to safely store your money when not in use and securely monitor the amount of money you are carrying on person. That way, you can prevent yourself from becoming a victim of fraud and theft whilst making sure you never run short on funds.

Learn the different online payment systems available in the country

With the modernization of technology and the digitization of banking, online payment systems have become more accessible than ever before. There are a wide variety of payment solutions available within any given country. From peer-to-peer transfer services to banking apps, there is sure to be an option that fits your individual needs. Understanding the features and benefits associated with each available system can be crucial for individuals looking to maximize their digital transactions. It’s important to stay informed about the platforms offered in your area and keep up with trends such as cryptocurrencies that are quickly making their way into the world of digital payments. Whether you’re sending a few cents or trading thousands in stocks, there’s an online payment system out there for everyone.

Investigate the pros and cons of using bank transfers

When it comes to transferring money, bank transfers offer a secure and convenient option. Bank transfers are performed electronically and provide a fast way to move funds between individuals or organizations. This type of payment is especially useful when paying rent or utility bills as these transactions require accuracy and same-day processing. However, the biggest disadvantage of using bank transfers is that there can be high fees associated with them, particularly for international payments. As such, if you’re transferring large amounts or making multiple payments, it’s always important to factor in any transfer fees that may apply before going ahead with the transaction. Despite this, many people prefer using bank transfers to other methods due to their safety, speed and reliability.

Consider using digital wallets to send and receive money

Digital wallets are becoming increasingly popular ways of sending and receiving money quickly and securely. Not only do digital wallets provide users with a way to quickly perform financial transactions, but they are also becoming more secure than ever before. Many digital wallets offer industry-standard encryption protocols for added security as well as two-factor authentication for an additional layer of protection. Furthermore, there is no limit on fund transfers, making it easy to send and receive large sums of money with minimal effort. With all these benefits in mind, it’s understandable why so many people are turning towards digital wallets as a fast, secure, and convenient solution for their financial needs.

Discover prepaid cards that are perfect for budgeting

Prepaid cards are an excellent tool for budgeting, as they provide maximum control over spending and allow you to manage your money better. Instead of having a traditional debit or credit card which can make it difficult to know exactly how much you’re spending and when, prepaid cards provide you with the convenience of a payment method that removes the risk of overdraft fees or late fees appearing in your account. All purchases made with a prepaid card come from the balance loaded onto the card itself, so you never have to worry about overspending and will always have an exact record of what you’ve spent. With no minimum balances or monthly fees to keep track of, prepaid cards also make it easier than ever to stay on top of your budgeting goals. Whether you’re looking for an easy-to-use payment solution while traveling abroad or just trying to get better control over your finances, a prepaid card offers a convenient way of staying in touch with your money without any extra hassle.

Understand the benefits of using cryptocurrency for payments in New Zealand

Cryptocurrency is an increasingly popular form of payment in New Zealand, with businesses across the country allowing people to purchase goods and services with Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. Utilizing digital currencies provides numerous benefits that traditional fiat currencies cannot match. For instance, cryptocurrency transactions are almost instantaneous, so there is no need to wait for payments to clear like bank transfers. Moreover, fees associated with crypto payments can be significantly cheaper compared to credit or debit card transaction fees. Furthermore, cryptocurrency gives customers greater control over their own money and increased privacy due to its decentralized nature – transactions are not monitored by a central lender and do not require the exchange of personal information between buyers and sellers. Finally, cryptocurrency users don’t have to worry about currency conversion costs as they can easily send funds across the world with minimal-to-no fees involved. As a result, it’s not difficult to see why more New Zealanders are choosing cryptocurrency as their payment option of choice.

Ultimately, when it comes to payments, there are a vast array of options for New Zealanders to choose from. Whether it be cash, cryptocurrency, bank transfers or prepaid cards, each solution has its own unique benefits and risks. Understanding the pros and cons of every payment method is important in order to ensure that money is handled safely and securely. By being open to exploring the different payment systems available in New Zealand and understanding their respective security implications, you are able to make well-informed decisions about how you want to move and manage your funds. This can help simplify your financial situation while also giving you peace of mind that your money is secure with whichever payment system you ultimately choose.

It’s an institution, a place where people are welcomed, and where people come for research. It speaks to our band and its various backgrounds and countries. We are at our own meeting point with our music.”

Zango was recorded at DB Studios, the same studio where the band laid down their 1975 LP Lazy Bones.

Veruca Salt’s Louise Post Announces Debut Solo Album, Shares New Song ‘Guilty’

Veruca Salt’s Louise Post has announced her debut solo album. Sleepwalker was produced by Matt Drenik and comes out June 2 via El Camino Media. Check out the lead single ‘Guilty’ along with the album’s cover art and tracklist below.

“I have always identified as a sleepwalker,” Post said of the album’s title in a press release. “I slept-walked around my house routinely when I was a child, and even down the street. I believe in hindsight it was me trying to process what was going on in my home with my parents’ troubled marriage. As far as I know, I stopped sleepwalking after the divorce when I was eight, but it has always been a part of me that I feel protective of, a little girl who I feel sad for.”

“Throughout it all, I felt like my higher purpose was screaming at me, trying to wake me up from my despair and setting me on a path of creativity,” she added. “I had felt paralyzed and desolate as the pandemic set in and writing these songs helped snap me out of my stupor and reclaim a small part of the solution.”

Pip Blom have returned with a new single called ‘Tiger’. It marks the Dutch band’s first new music since their 2021 record Welcome Break. The track is set to appear on their as-yet-unannounced third LP for Heavenly. Check it out below.

It’s good to surprise people with a new sound, and though it still sounds like a Pip Blom track because it has my voice on it and the melodies I tend to write, it feels like it’s from a different source. I wanted to be bold and do something new.”
