“Chocolate Jesus” may be the CRUSTIEST song Tom Waits ever wrote

unfortunately there's no UBI and the world doesn't value artists enough that I could make more than starvation wages, so instead of knowing I can pursue something I love to make others happier, I get to stave off suicidal ideation and poor self worth again, today.

holy crap how many Tunnel Chases did Alan Silvestri score in his career?

Though I'm amused by how this one is sort of like The Scorpion King and his army face The Angel Family

2:20-2:42 it's CHRISTMASTIME hee hee hee hee!

this is such a great Elfman soundtrack and again, it's too bad the movie made me HATE EVERYTHING

do not engage

do not argue

there are plenty of more important fights, chief among them retaining my sanity

holy fuck it's as good as I thought it was going to be

AN AXE AGE A SWORD AGE
INIQUITIES MULTIPLY
A WIND AGE A WOLF AGE
TILL THE WORLD LIES RUINED

listening to Ring Ohne Worte now and um

yes MAGIC HELMET
and I'll give you a SAMPLE!

bye!

THAT WAS DA WABBIT!

and I mean that was great but way serious let's listen to DIFFERENT Bowie

so when things get too down
and your tail is dragging on the ground
and even down looks up
BAD LUCK
we can show you a good time
and we don't charge nothing (nothing at all)
so strut your nasty stuff
wriggle in the middle now
get the town talkin', fire gang

okay my favorite Bowie really hits hard while stoned, the repeating bass note as counterpoint to the very folk melody feel winds up being very science fictiony.

lest you were wondering https://youtu.be/uog1CrVEte4?si=qqaHGcWxTZeHhi18 is the Lullabye from Gayaneh

shit was the man even CAPABLE of writing something I don't love?

okay I think what I wanted as background for a dumb joke about jogging while throwing punches was the Lullabye from Gayaneh but I found this instead and it's really good right now.

for here am I sitting in my tin can
high above the world
planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

okay routine Coyote Space Agency low orbit maintenance launch in, I need the number practice;

shi jiu ba qi liu wu san si er yi ling
sheng kong

Seder with my folks went about as well as expected. Making a pot of tea.

hot take; there IS no faith that can change the world directly for the better. I think religion is positive at a personal level but I don't think you just drop a new/new take on an extant religion and the moral arc of the universe swings towards good. If that were possible it would have happened already.

Also in case you wanted to think of the word again you can sing CLOACA to the “Gigantor” theme song

the Dickies cover obviously

when our ancestors fled Egypt they didn’t have time for the soybeans to ferment properly so they stuffed it into bags and carried it with them and that’s why we eat natto at Passover

Do you ever wonder whether Captain Crunch has crunch berries because appropriately Royal Navy marshmallow shapes would be rum, sodomy and the lash? Come to think of it does a daily dram of Cap’n Crunch prevent scurvy?

I’ll be out of here soon enough and then I can eat enough weed to climb the world tree and hang out with Ratatoskr listening to Loren Maazel’s Ring Ohne Worte or something.
