Happy birthdayish. 20,000 means you're the mightiest of them all!

[short clip] On a TV appearance toward the end of his life in 1988, Serge Gainsbourg was surprised by a choir of children (Les Petits Chanteurs d'Asnières) in full Gainsbourg regalia--black jacket, gray wig, sunglasses, Whisky, cigarette, unshaven-and brought to tears by their homage to one of his classics "J'e suis venu te dire que je m'en vais". https://www.instagram.com/p/ChKY0gDJhoQ/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Not sure if this is already widely known, but Cookie Marenco heard Laurie Anderson mention it, then did post to tell others. Radio Garden is a very cool app where you scroll the Earth to find radio stations.

Sylvester Stallone is of Italian and Ukrainian descent and Arnold Schwarzenegger has already asked Putin to stop. We have enough aging action heroes. Can we ask Zelenskyy to target HIMARS on Seagal specifically, you know for a world-wide morale boost?

I'm one of those 80s readers. Enjoyed too.

Here’s a good podcast of Gaiman talking about his choices in the TV series. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtf-with-marc-maron-podcast/id329875043?i=1000574611646

Fair enough, though stating the obvious - we're both four seasons in. 🙂 I suspect our next pretension test will be The Sandman, which will live or die under Gaiman (and us).

Was "pretentious TV" a typo or do we actually agree on Westworld? 😜

Independent of any interest in the looping timeline and slick visuals or for pay-off of time already invested, is anyone actually enjoying Westworld at this point?

Someone needs to help RI.

If you divide AK in half, TX is third, so four biggest?

Maybe because I'm struggling a little with this exact question, but found this video refreshing and thought others may enjoy too.

It's so good. Are you watching the original Vimeo show (now called High Maintenance Web Series on HBO) or the HBO version? Both incredible.

Thanks for posting. Glad he took the show more serious and think about the chicken scene a few times every year since it aired.

Nothing against Mahler (rumor is he's okay), but Yacht Rock Tuesdays! At least until we're sick of Michael McDonald (which should have been a few decades ago). Hunting for tracks out there from the Yacht Rock-ettes, "The world's first, and only, female-fronted Yacht Rock cover band. Smooth AF." And I may have a new favorite website, Yacht or Nyacht? https://www.yachtornyacht.com Bad Brains' Sailin' On is a hard nyacht.

Thanks. Never seen, have only read the oral history. EDIT: That's soooo good.

Goofy morning fun in prep for imminent volume 2.
