A tired man is already in the grip of death and insanity … A sane man is … fully awake. As he grows tired, he loses his ability to rise above dreams and delusions, and life becomes steadily more chaotic.
Maybe RFK Jr.’s brain worm was just a wandering atrophied ear worm. I suffered with that “Rent” melody parody of Georgia’s 11,780 votes as an ear worm for two solid weeks. 😱
I mentioned to @Robotron I don't like Radiohead. I recognise their talent and I'm glad they exist but yeah I'm one of those "Creep" people.
Radiohead's Teen Spirit - Creep is the type of massively popular song that puts a band at a crossroads where they can chase the money as a pop act or stay true to an artistic vision.
So it's good I don't like anything else from them. Like Nirvana they chose to stay true and moved on.
Well alright, @Robotron you win. You and my brain worms have conspired to have Mitsou playing on loop in my head today.
Back in the late 80s French-language CKTF played a lot of club music with emphasis on the Quebec scene. That's where I heard Mitsou months before she showed up on any English radar.
Her tracks were catchy and she was painfully cute, yes, but when I learned she used an Atari ST for midi sequencing? Computer geek music! Pure heaven!
I believe the one to blame for this is @Robotron from a comment he made a couple days ago.
But you know, putting aside the fact that it's a dippy 80s pop song, "Rise Up" was the unofficial theme song of the NDP during the golden era of Layton, so it does bring back fond memories of things I wish we could get back to now that Mulcair is long gone.
In the 80s when I was living in the country I spent two hours a day going to and from school on a yellow bus. If you ever wanted proof that humans are a hierarchical species, all you had to know is: Everybody wanted the back seat and despite being the first on and last off the bus, I never took a back seat The back was reserved for the jock bully and his friends.
With the front reserved for kids were awkward or outcast, I was a middle-seat kid.
Hey kids! It's Monday and you look like you had a rough weekend. So here's a fun fact:
Did you you know that Ministry's Al Jourgensen and Dead Kennedys' Jello Biafra had a baby and it's a perfect blend of Al's skull-shattering hardcore-ness and Jello's face-biting social commentary?
"Nice place you got here darling
sure wish the hot water worked
gotta rinse my jizz off before morning
or I'll itch for a week"
