Okay as long as we’re here, you want a hot Nirvana take?

“Smells Like Teen Spirit” is Kudt trying to write a Pixies song but comes so close, you can sing “I Bleed” to it. Whereas “About a Girl” is his attempt at a Beatles song, and he NAILS it without it being any existing particular Beatles; it should have been a bigger hit.

In my intellectually fuzzed state early this morning I go quickly from;

* wow I like this, it sounds familiar
* this is a great Goth cover of “Heart Shaped Box”
* this is the album version of “Heart Shaped Box,” I’d never realized how Goth it is

Seriously had the song been presented differently you’d have dudes in long coats and eyeliner grooving to it.

@LexYeen @Alistor whoa that looks terrific!

@ziphi would kiss her on her tiny adorable noggin 💙​

most Tolkien scholars agree that Tom Bombadil is actually one of the Maiar; given the call outs about his boots, likely Tom of Finland.

Muppet Dune, in which Kyle McLachlan is the only human (Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam said so)

Rain Dog boosted

today, since it’s spooky season (or no longer spooky season). Partly inspired by a favorite Samurai Jack episode. Initially this was gonna have undead in that funky looking Nara looking stuff and then I thought it was WAY better suggested.

@heatherhorns_lite it’s a popular misunderstanding that Frankenstein was the monster’s name but actually in the book Frankenstein is the fucker’s name

@wolfe it’s appropriate that the stereotypical bald eagle noise is actually a more officially badass hawk screech. “What’s actually a pretty cool animal innately linked to wild places isn’t officially good enough and is made out to be this tightass thing” feels like a great example of what the USA is.

What’s the most American nonsense/fake vocals?

I’d wonder whether anyone’s ever done the soundtrack equivalent for Americans. Like when we show up in the movie there’s a little twangy guitar motif with the vocalist singing GUUUUNS MAHHHH TRUCCKKK, and then we’re back to the normal soundtrack.

and then a little baritone chorus theme lets you know Something Russian is happening in the movie

A nice glass of tea? Horrible totalitarian regime? Submarine diving? Cats in snow? Liberally dumping dill on your pelmeni? Doesn’t matter, it gets baritone chorus.

oh FSCK yeah KEXP played my third favorite Cure song!

* Pacific Rim theme blasts *

By the time tanks, jets and missiles defeated the enormous corn, three cities were lost. And then only six months later the enormous green beans hit Manila. And then we learned this wasn't going to stop, this was just the beginning. To fight giant vegetables, we created giant vegetables of our own. The Jolly Green Giant program was born.

"I wonder if this video will tell me more about whether I have ADHD or not?" they thought, leg going at high speeds and setting the video to 1.5x regular speed because these things take half of forever if you run them normally
