Happy New Year!
2020. Wow! It’s really here.
Back in 1980, Superman comics depicted the future world of 2020…
So no, we are not living in floating cities with flying cars and controlled weather. Much less having a superhero around.
That’s the downside. On the upside, we’re not living in this either…
…yet.
Ya know, if DC Comics had any smarts at all, they would be selling a Superman 2020 collection right now, maybe with a new story or two included. Not just to coincide with the arrival of the year 2020, but the concept was perfectly suited to our Current Year in its wokeness.
See for yourself…
It’s got nazis! And a sop to concerns about overpopulation as well.
The nazis even have their own cool salute…
…and predicted the soyboy epidemic.
And best of all…
…even though these “Purists” are totally racist, they’re also not racist at all. Now that’s a hell of a trick.
Seriously, DC could make sales from a high-concept series and score virtue-signaling points all at once. They accidentally stumbled across a form of wokeness that might actually make a profit.
Then again, they might get in trouble for this…
Even in the imaginary future, some things never change.
Happy New Year!
Black Friday Radio 2019
Extreme Black Friday with, not just a song, but an entire concert of Steely Dan. “Black Friday” starts at 43:35
“I’m buggin’ out!” Wonder what’s in that Coke can? It sure seemed to have changed the texture of his night.
Stereolab Rematerialize 2019
Stereolab is back and touring, as the groop plays Chord X again after ten years.
A recent concert from Chicago’s Union Park, about 40 minutes in length –
Better Advertising Through Radiation
American Digest asks the question– “The Japanese: Nuked Too Much Or Not Enough?”
As the Digest put it, “Lots of dancing, singing, video games and the selling of noodles. Complete with a Surfing Tommy Lee Jones working for a BIG payday at 3:16.”
And cats.
So, nuked too much or not enough? The answer is “Yes.”
It wasn’t nuclear radiation that affected them. Rather, it was radioactive exposure to the West, which left their physiology and intellect intact, but severely mutated them on a cultural level. They’re still Japanese, but with a strangely and deeply warped American element mixed in.
Still, they seem happy with it, and I find it highly entertaining.
2018
End of another year. Hope everyone has a terrific New Year!
Added more songs to the list, including a new Steely Dan performance from this year.
Is It NYE Already?
The future is very soon indeed.
Will the New Year bring self-aware Ratlicants? As if the original isn’t bad enough…
Goat must have a rosy view of the future with those beer-colored glasses.
Rocktober Final Friday 2018 – COWBELL!
I had no idea this existed. H/T to Ace of Spades HQ –
A thing of beauty!
If this existed, I would buy it –
Christopher Walken very briefly mentions Cowbell, and talks about his other famous SNL skit –
If you are one of those extremely rare and broken people who has never seen the Cowbell skit, well, now you can.
Notice how even the cast members, including Walken himself and especially Jimmy Fallon, can’t keep from laughing.
Just watch –
