What's the most significant thing you've learned about politics since being elected?

When I realized that it was basically just a Barry White vocal pitched up an octave or so, my brain exploded

After seeing this in my feed repeatedly I'm finally watching it and... it could not possibly be more My Kind of Thing. Points of comparison: Magma, Lightning Bolt, Tune-Yards... maybe Bastro? A groovier Ruins? That one super-distorted 1970 video of Fairport? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ssi...

Part of me says this utter jam: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvCY... Part of me--the really perverse part--says "Fuanteidai" by Boredoms (www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPUF... at 4:04).

I just tracked down a copy of this wild thing, which I’d been trying to find for years. Story by Maddie Blaustein (a.k.a. Meowth), art by Jim Craig and Dan & David Day!

Fun fact: there's a SECOND version of this, from 1998, with word-for-word the same script, but it's entirely redrawn by David Tata and Norman Lee!

There’s a bit in Ant-Man (2022) #4 about the first issue of a future series called “All-New New Champions,” which always cracks me up.

Oh, karaoke, I’ve missed you. “Cool,” “I Often Dream of Trains,” “The True Wheel,” “Bloodshot Eyes”! Plus a guy who did a fantastic “That’s How I Escaped My Certain Fate.”

I like unflavored/unsweetened Huel with an actual flavor I like added, like some pomegranate juice or something. Note: I have a very high tolerance for its texture

I had somehow missed out on Alice Phoebe Lou before this, but this is one hell of a vocal performance/arrangement. Just wish the keyboard player were visible... www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFky...

PLEDGE WEEK: “I Love You” by People This episode is part of Pledge Week 2024. From Tuesday through Saturday this week I’m posting some of my old Patreon bonuses to the main feed, as a taste of what Patreon backers get. If you enjoy t…

A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs has been absolutely killing it for a while. 500songs.com/podcast/pled... is a great one-hour sample; the four-parter that starts with 500songs.com/podcast/song... dropped my jaw over and over.

Always thought it was a "what's big and red and eats rocks?"-type anti-joke.

I am also not on mine, and one of the ones listed was an actual jaw-dropper of the “no wonder nobody wants to talk about this” kind

Age verification? I bought a thrashed copy of Giant-Size X-Men #1, missing its back cover, out of a 25-cent bin

Oh my goodness! I would love to know... well, everything about Tundra, but in particular what the lost Tundra projects were: things that were completed to one extent or another but never made it to publication.

Super interesting, shot-by-shot exegesis of Bad Bunny's performance. SO MUCH packed in there.

is it bad that that sounds genuinely interesting to me? it’s bad, right?

Thoughts while watching Robyn Hitchcock & band play “Flesh No. 1”: 1) Oh, this song has a bridge now! It always needed one! And it’s gorgeous! 2) Oh wait I recognize it. 3) …It’s a verse and chorus of Roxy Music’s “More Than This.” 4) Fair enough!
