Still? Yeah, okay.

That feels out of the blue, right?

Again?

It does feel like a mistake right?

"only the third (and currently last) single to top the year-end charts despite never spending a week at the top of the weekly charts"

Bring it on!

I still dig this song.

EDIT: Damn, the radio edit is WAY different. I'm guessing "street sweeper" is some sort of gun reference. I was baffled at first that they were bleeping it.

All I know about it is it's use in Airplane!. Part of me has been interested to check it out, but everytime I'm like "why not just watch Airplane! again?" For me, because it is only 81 minutes long and because I know Airplane SO well, that I think I would enjoy watching Zero Hour! because...

Try? For me?

I'm bored.

I found this clip on YouTube, and I really want to watch the whole film now.

It's a movie called Zero Hour!

Zero Hour! (1957) In 1950s Canada, during a commercial flight, the pilots and some passengers suffer food poisoning, thus forcing ex-WW2 fighter pilot, Ted Stryker, to try to land the airliner in heavy fog.

My wife's school provided a teacher appreciation meal as well. Which she said was pretty good. But then last night, the parent group also sponsored an off-site gathering where there's wine and crafts... all the teachers got to paint big signs for their rooms. They had a great time. And then a bunch ...

The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy, Volume Thirteen - Jonathan Strahan (ed) "The Rose MacGregor Drinking and Admiration Society" made me laugh out loud all alone in the Culver's drive-thru (and made me love Rose MacGregor). Here is an excerpt I found from the opening of that stor...

My second youngest has hair that everyone thinks is permed, but is just naturally glorious.

He should cosplay as The Greatest American Hero.

Zombie Bake-Off -- Stephen Graham Jones I fucked up! Kyle has been raving about Mongrels and The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones. Both titles are wait-listed at my library, but in the meantime, there's one available by Jones called Zombie Bake-Off, and the audiobook is a mere seven-hour l...

Want to completely change your impression of this song? I thought Creed was a Christian rock band for like...ever...because of this song.

They're not? Then why do they call themselves Creed?

This of course was two years before her role in Goldmember finally made her a star.

It’s a fingertips episode! Well, first there’s some Chew the Dew with Mountain Dew Can Chicken. But then in Fingertips, the guys hit boson stars, racism, semi-primes, Lamarckian theory and epigenetics, space debris, and a bunch of stuff I didn’t write down. It’s pretty awesome! Then after a rousing ...

Savage Garden still exists!

The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy, Volume Thirteen - Jonathan Strahan (ed) I've been reading sci-fi "best of" volumes like this since I was a kid. I love them. And this one was no exception. A couple dozen or so stories. Each one anywhere from 17 minutes to 2 hours of listening....

News to me. But... I suppose?

Submitted!

Total guess on my part. It must be a repeat that snuck up on my subliminally, cuz I've never seen it.

Re-Pete!

Not unexpected, I suppose.

Solid. Very late 90s.

Wow. It feels really suggestive when you describe it like that.

Totally unfamiliar.

Lisa and I loved this song at the time. I don't remember where we were at, but we were hanging out with Peter (maybe at Phoebe's wedding? Maybe when we played Pariah? I don't know.) And this song came up in conversation, and Peter said, "is that the song where Eddie Vedder removes all the range...

I know. But I only think of it when I'm on my phone, and the mobile format doesn't include thread moving in my admin options. I keep trying.

Let me go try the laptop now that I'm thinking of it at home for once.

Good Morning!

Except in some ways, this becomes a consequence free world. We don't have to save the planet, because all those future timelines are purely hypothetical. If we know the date that the last block started, then we know the date this one ends. People be crazy when they know there's no tomorrow. I mean t...

There it is, Pete!

I've never heard that one before.

So if you assume that this whole Memento bit of jumping back and reliving everything in 3 month chunks (ish) continues for centuries backwards in time... what does society look like after backing up that far? There would be a fantastic oral tradition to try to preserve the histories and technologies...

So imagine the effects of this on children too young to understand that anything is happening, other than they keep getting smaller. If we've been through two years worth of backing up, that means the body of a 3 year old actually has 7 years of memories in their heads. By the time they get to be ba...

Michael Collins, astronaut, 90. The guy who had to stay in the orbiter while Neil and Buzz went to go play on the moon.

I did a short bit on him on the podcast last year.

Sure.

Leave Britney alone!

This song is one that I know I've heard before. That's all I got. Yes, and a I song I completely forgot about for the last 20 years. We need to commercialize this and revive Orange Crush- my favorite soda when I was a kid. I've got a whole lineup of songs ready to go. https://youtu.be/SiAuAJBZuGs

This song is one that I know I've heard before.

That's all I got.

By the way, good play, T. I totally walked into it.

I can't see it. It says age-restricted. My filter must be set too high.

Good morning!

You're thinking of Axe.

Truly.

Right? I appreciate Wannabe, but other than that, I can't think of another song of theirs that ever did anything for me.
