I did a choir tour in the UK that summer and the choir we sang with at Clare College in Cambridge had an a Capella group that sang an arrangement of Deeply Dippy at our joint party.

Matangi > MAYA

At least now I know what she’s been doing since “Paper Planes”

I am surprised by how much I want to see Clayface after watching the trailer

Prince - Batdance (Official Music Video) YouTube video by Prince

I remember seeing the video for “Batdance” and thinking “this is it, we have arrived as a culture; it’s all downhill from here”

Maybe if Yves Tumor had a higher profile

I used to play “Lemon Crush” on repeat when I first got this album back in the day and I didn’t like “Partyman” at all. Listening now, I was absolutely correct about “Lemon Crush” and wrong about “Partyman”.

In conclusion, every song on this goes in

It’s ridiculous how hard Prince’s Batman soundtrack goes

It’s dawning on me that I may never achieve my childhood dream of becoming friends with Robert Smith and singing on a Cure record

… whut

I was going to jump into this but I realized I have been arguing about The Strokes for 25 years and that gave me pause

I had never watched Nora from Queens before, what a great show

We can thank the movie Madagascar for this, I just wish someone had thought to throw “Short Short Man” into a scene in Shrek

Oh I absolutely LOVE Boards of Canada

I haven’t been participating in that conversation because I’ve discovered I’m not really a fan of Boards of Canada discourse

I feel like I hit an emotional growth milestone today; someone posted excitedly about something I hate and I started typing a response to express how much I hate that thing, and then I stopped and asked myself “is this actually how I want to present myself” and I deleted the draft

I thought this was last name, first name initially so I was disappointed until I did some googling

I know what my legs look like and it would incredibly selfish of me not to share that with the world

“Sin” might be my favorite Nine a inch Nails song

CNN article headline: TRAVEL The double-level seat is back with the 'ultimate, final statement' design Pictured are terraced airplane seats with alternating rows accessible by two stairs. A man sits in a lower row with his seat mostly reclined. A woman sits in front of him in an upper row with her seat partially reclined. The woman’s butt is at about the height of the man’s face if he was sitting upright.

They should pair this with switching all of the in-flight snacks to be lentil burritos

Tonight’s startling revelation is that the relative chord progressions of “Wicked Game” by Chris Isaak and “A Daisy Chain 4 Satan” by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult are the same

“Three Imaginary Boys” is such a good song

Tim Robinson in Detroiters wearing a Kangol

Watching Detroiters for the nth time and wondering how many other people had a Kangol phase

I don’t know who else is out there making ranked lists of Meat Beat Manifesto songs/moments but I’m curious if anyone else would put the transition from “Hail to the Bopp” into “3 Floors Above You” on Actual Sounds and Voices as high on their list as it is on mine

I was in London for work right around when “Foundations” was blowing up (along with “An End Has a Start” by Editors, another song I loved and was surprised to find others didn’t) and I have never understood the hating

Currently singing “Viktor Orbán / Where are you going to” to the tune of “Mary, Mary” by The Monkees

I’m in the office so I can’t do anything about it right now, but you can bet that once I get home there is going to be a serious reckoning with a nose hair trimmer

Dear aging,

I can deal with grey hairs.

I can deal with nose hairs.

Grey nose hairs, though? You can fuck off with that.

Sincerely,

DJP

I can’t fault Black Widow for making that face, given how she’s drawn here

I thought Coctaeu Twins were nice enough but overhyped up until I heard “Blood Bitch” on The Gothic Box and went “oh this goes hard”. Ever since then I have been very “Garlands or gtfo”

I liked Family Guy. And American Dad. And The Cleveland Show.
