Here's Where the Story Ends
This is another of those times when I wanted to hear a song but didn't have any of the tools necessary to find it. I had a very clear picture of exactly how it went in my head but didn't know the artist, song title or any of the words to search.
After a long, meandering, somewhat random search across the internet, I've finally found the song is "Here's Where the Story Ends" by The Sundays.
I often like to play the game "I really like this song, but why do I like this song?" I've found there's a strong correlation between songs I like and songs that are emotional Rorschach tests - songs that could be extremely happy or extremely sad, depending on the listener. I think that's part of the success of "Free Bird" - you could play it at a party or a wake and I don't think anyone would bat an eye.
Thinking about it, I don't think that's the case with "Here's Where the Story Ends" though. I think it's essentially an upbeat, happy song. So then why does it make me so sad?
You might also remember the Sundays from "Summertime".

The Ninja Warriors - Daddy Mulk
Are you ready for Japanese guys in baked potato suits?
Do you think you can handle that Japanese string guitar thing in a rock context?
Are you ready for picture-in-picture technology?
Can you take the most unenthusiastic drummer ever?
Can you handle a song with "Mulk" in the title
No. No you can't.
I don't think you're ready for this MIDI.
This song is from the arcade version of this game.

Conan - Marc Maron is now on Klomper
By the way, Conan was a guest on Maron's WTF Podcast a while back and it's excellent. Well worth the time if you can find it and have a spare hour.

Money as a System of Control
Not comedy.
What I like about Andreas Antonopoulos is the flair for intensity/intense silence. It's the closest thing to Howard Beale in "Network" that I've found in real life.
