I’m Not Your Crypto Tool You Tool

Hopefully no one here watches the sportsballs, as recently you would have seen this ad ad nauseum.

Periodically I enjoy trying to make sense of speculative digital currency, most of it not even underpinned by scarcity. It makes my brain hurt.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFT – sounds like electronica I’m too old to fathom.

And apparently it’s terrible for the environment: a single Bitcoin transaction consumes the same amount of power that an average American home uses in a month.

Twitter, please roast this clown:

I can just not stop laughing that Matt Damon’s pitch for crypto is “Be like a brave explorer, invest your life savings in crypto.”

This commercial where Matt Damon compares buying $5 in ElonAssCoin to the Wright Brothers inventing flight or astronauts exploring space really hypes me up!

I Get Along

One of my favorite Libs songs. The bridge is fantastic.

Where’s Doherty? Who knows?!

Born Fighter

Not his greatest song, but it has one of the funniest first verses I’ve ever heard and a Dave Edmunds solo (2:00) that curls what’s left of my hair.  When I searched YouTube for this song, I ran across a ’79 documentary of the same name.  Here is a clip where Lowe and Edmunds talk a bit about Phil Spector, then work on takes of that same solo.  I haven’t watched past where the solo recording ends at 15:00, so I don’t know if the rest is worth watching.  Nick Lowe seems rather, um, “relaxed.”

Oh!

Whoa.

I like the studio version better than any of the live youtube-ables. One of my favorite S-K tunes.

Heavy Meta

I think I’ve posted this guy’s stuff before, but maybe not. Although he usually does superheroes or Star Wars characters, he’s still sickeningly talented.

Cribs… Cramps Edition

This is kinda cool. It’s an interview with Poison Ivy and Lux Interior at their, well, interior. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Lux speak, but I was a little disappointed when it wasn’t in that rockabilly voice. He was one of a kind for sure…

McCartney’s Worst?

He’s a genius, but this song is awful.

Don’t go jumping waterfalls
Please, keep to the lake
People who jump waterfalls
Sometimes can make mistakes
And I need love
Yeah, I need love
Like a second needs an hour
Like a raindrop needs a shower
Yeah, I need love
Every minute of the day
And it wouldn’t be the same
If you ever should decide to go away
And I need love
Yeah, I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
Like a garden needs a flower
Yeah, I need love
Every minute of the day
And it wouldn’t be the same
If you ever should decide to go away
Don’t go chasing polar bears
In the great unknown
Some big friendly polar bear
Might want to take you home
And I need love
Yeah, I need love
Like a second needs an hour
Like a raindrop needs a shower
Yeah, I need love
Every minute of the day
And it wouldn’t be the same
If you ever should decide to go away
Don’t run after motor cars
Please, stay on the side
Someone’s glossy motor car
Might take you for a ride
And I need love
Yeah, I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
Like a garden needs a flower
Yeah, I need love
Said I need love
Every minute of the day
And it wouldn’t be the same
If you ever should decide to go away
Don’t go jumping waterfalls
Please, keep to the lake
