Looking For Something New To Watch?

From the ever-reliable Wikipedia …

Pluribus (stylized as PLUR1BUS) is an upcoming science fiction drama television series created by Vince Gilligan for Apple TV+. The series stars Rhea Seehorn in the lead role. She previously worked with Gilligan on the AMC series Better Call Saul.

Apple has ordered two seasons of the series for Apple TV+, with the series expected to premiere two episodes on November 7, 2025, for a nine-episode first season.

Set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the series follows an author who seems to be the only person immune to a new virus that turns its sufferers perpetually content and optimistic.

I’m in!

Alien: Earth Episodes 1&2 Easter Eggs

My latest obsession is the new Alien: Earth series on Hulu. Just the right balance of callbacks to previous Alien movies and fresh creative ideas. It’s pretty … pretty … pretty … pretty good. Some of the stuff this New Rockstars guy notices might be a stretch, but he catches a ton of details I missed.

Anyway, enjoy or don’t. But don’t text me six months from now saying, “Oh my god, have you watched Alien: Earth? It’s amazing!” (You know who you are.)

Jonee Jumped In His Datsun

I had the pleasure of finally seeing DEVO in Austin 14 years ago, but I really wish I could’ve seen them during this period, when it was still mostly guitars and Alan Myers (The Human Metronome) on drums. Anyway, please to enjoy this official HD video.

Chris Bell’s Mysterious Death and Big Star’s Music Legacy

Happy Monday! Listen to this instead of whatever else you’re supposed to be doing right now.

P.S. – Rich Tupica’s book is excellent! And reading it, I learned that I literally grew up in the house across the street from where Chris Bell grew up. Missed him by about 10 years, though.

Never Forget

An absolute classic, and perfectly appropriate for the Monday I’m having.
