Barreracudas… ? Ok
This song punches every one of my rocky dopamine receptors right in the pants. In a good way.
Know Your Memes
If you haven’t watched I Think You Should Leave you should. I had to rewatch this because hot dog guy is becoming a meme. And that’s what really matters these days.
Happy Birthday to Me and this Hero
Very entertaining Heroes era Bowie TV appearance.
There’s a Video…
This was my most played track on Spotify this year. Shocking, I know.
IDLES
For what ails ya’

For Squirrels
The guitar player in this band, Travis, is a friend of mine, and was in the band we put together from guys at work. He was one of the two survivors of an accident on the way home from a CMJ showcase back in the 90s. They tried to soldier on for a couple of years, changing names and putting out a really good, but much heavier album that their label promptly forgot about. This trailer is evidently a teaser to try and get funding for a documentary.
You Bastards Never Tell Me Anything!
Like that the Vapors put out a new album this summer!
Shit
Ron Cobb, an underground political cartoonist, who happened to befriend a young Spielberg, and went on to design Star Wars Cantina creatures, the Back to the Future Car, the Nostromo (ask Makerbot), a time traveling DeLorean, and ET (Spielberg gave him a cut, and made him so rich he fucked off to Australia and was never heard from again), has died. His political cartoons were ridiculously prescient, and are sadly still timely. Comic above is from 1968!
