Leslie Ann Warren’s transformation in A Night in Heaven (1983) from uptight college professor to hot cougar ready for Ladies’ Night at the strip joint.

So I was kind of remembering the pop punk/rap band Zebrahead and I looked them and this is how I learn the two vocalists did the theme song for that Sonic the Hedgehog game for the 360 where Sonic has like a human girlfriend and stuff

I’m really hung up on the TikTok lady talking about how you can’t hold onto things while you’re being raptured and I’m just thinking about how many pious people of faith are going to be turned into a fine jelly paste by their apartment buildings or bedroom ceiling fans.

No, reinstating Jimmy Kimmel isn’t the end of American fascism but if you’re waiting for your enemies to start crying and admit defeat it’s never going to happen so take this moment, feel good it happened, and keep going.

Talking with kids is incredible. You’re telling me that Gru, Grogu, and Groot are three different characters?

I spent the weekend laying out a physical album and being really critical of things like “font” and “formatting” and “laying words in a sequential and readable pattern”

And again, as I start to prep this album for release, if you would like review copy for coverage please let me know and I’d love to share it.

We’re in Shocktober pregame now, warming up with some genre flicks to get in the mood. Last night was CANDY LAND on the Shudd and I was really impressed. One of those slashers that really loses steam once it becomes a slasher but I could have hung out in the 90s truck stop for another 2 hours.

dunno if 10 hours of livestreamed garment rending and teeth gnashing by the weirdest people on earth is gonna change the fact that they woke all their dragons day one. you're already literally invading america! oh is a second set of gloves coming off? have we seen the end of your famous restraint

In steely Dan's "hey nineteen" they sing "the cuervo gold / the fine Colombian / make tonight a wonderful thing." A lot of people think "the fine Colombian" is cocaine, but this is actually a misinterpretation. At the time most cocaine came from Peru. "The fine Colombian" actually refers to Shakira

My neurons are firing at an insane rate now bsky.app/profile/ladd...

Fun fact the actor who played Pugsley (Jerry Messing) is noteworthy for at least one other thing

I spent the weekend designing the physical media packaging and art and it’s such a rewarding summation of my Cheer Captain project that began in January of 2022. I don’t know what’s next for Cheer Captain but this feels like a good place to take stock.

OP: boys are hot REPLY: no girls are 13TH CENTURY ALE CONNER WHO I'VE BROUGHT TO THE FUTURE: Min ale hath ywoxen soure ME: No they do that on purpose now

Alright Cheer Squad here’s the proposed track list. If you know my stuff these are the ones you know.

I was just driving behind a truck for a landscaping company that focuses on water gardens and it had a cartoon frog saying “I’m your Pond Daddy” and that’s it for me. Rest of the day I’m saying it on repeat: I’m your Pond Daddy

It is still kind of messing me up that there is an actual official Nine Inch Nails album called TRON: Ares. Like does it have an official Halo #?!

My rough to do list now includes: 1) learn how to master an album 2) Master the album 3) Formally announce the album 4) Full campaign: pitch to playlists, reviewers, release single(s), newsletter, posting 5) Everything else? Maybe November?

Also if I have any mutuals who cover independent music and would be interested in an advance copy of the album for coverage, let me know!

today is a good day to ask yourself how much you actually support the independent artists and creators you enjoy, beyond just liking and subscribing. do you pay them money for their work? do you buy their things? fund alternative culture now or be left with the slop.

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant. Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

Good morning 🎶 🎸🔥

5 songs for the week of 9/14

If you want to cancel Disney, but are reluctant to do so because your kids like to watch one or more of its shows, then this is an opportunity for you to step up and be a good parent. Explain to them why you are cancelling it. Teach them about doing the right thing. Kids are smarter than you think.

It’s my birthday and if you like what I do you could sign up for my newsletter (which is *not* hosted on Substack) at www.cheercaptain.band I respect your inbox but I’ve got a LOT of updates on the album coming in the next issue. Made a lot of progress this weekend so far.

I think I’ve laid out all the basic packaging for LP1: I’m splurging on clear jewel the whole way through: no unsightly black backing for me. What are we charging for CDs on our Bandcamps? I feel like $20 is fair? $15? I figure the digital album would be $9-$10.

I feel like I somehow missed when we added “Proclamations” to our system of government and law?

They sent me a birthday text!

Okay I just played it again and I’m really warming to the idea of packing up 14 or so songs and releasing them as LP1. I always get bogged down in scope creep (“I should finish that song so I can include a new one!”) and then I’ve artistically moved on so it gets abandoned.

🎶Will you still need me? Will you still feed me?”🎶

Kinda leaning towards a CD run instead because as cool and DIY as cassettes are I don’t actually know anyone with a tape player.

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

Happy birthday sir!

I’ve put out 20+ songs over the last couple years and I’m starting to feel the desire to compile some of it into an album. At a certain point I think your catalogue gets hard to navigate and it’s possible people would just like a collection.

Like half my mutuals run independent record labels what’s the scuttlebutt these days?

Rock me mama like a bacon meal

Once again middle and high school teachers deserve hazard pay

Thank you Kelvin you were very good in the movie

I just like doing this bit

Happy birthday, Paul.

Oh we are appreciating Darius Rucker in this home tonight

hm... 88 million you say, what an oddly specific amount of money

I'm doing my part! (Pup Rosenstock Double Band "You Oughta Know" finale from Madison, 9.4.25, with Ekko Astra running on-stage midway to dance)
