Gotcha. I knew they had spread from Alaska to Panama, so I thought they'd moved into South America and Eurasia as well

I loved the setting for this game, if not the game itself.

Plus, doesn't anyone else remember Tailspin? I swear this was a real show and not an elaborate fever dream from my childhood.

Get out of ~~Malibu~~ London, deadbeat!

As for running, it is indeed quite hard on everything. I generally prefer biking, which I find a lot more fun and less straining on the body.

Until you crash, and then it takes you forever to heal as you get older. Swimming is good, but if you've spent your whole life in the water like I have, you wind up with burnt out rotator cuffs, etc.

Basically, any repetitive exercise will destroy you over time. Best to mix it up as much as possible

I liked the meme, but your comment got an actual chuckle from me. Thanks for the laugh, friend

So maybe it's better to just accept that many great works are never finished so that other, greater works can get made instead.

I don't remember where I first heard this, but "works of art are never finished, merely abandoned."

Every creator always has things that they would continue to tweak or adjust about their works, stopping only when they get distracted or are faced with a hard deadline.

I'm not mad at it, but what's with all the orb memes today? Hasn't this meme been around forever?

Me too. I was really wondering what sort of interview this was.

Not, you're thinking of Deadshot. A deadlock is a Scottish body of water that has been polluted to the point that no life exists in the lake.

 

Another band from the Christian ska/punk boom of the 90's. One of my earliest concerts was The W's opening for Five Iron Frenzy at a roller rink in 1999, so this one is pretty nostalgic for me.

Also, flower tattoo -> Dandelions, so a double connection

 

The thumbnail and the costume from "IDGAF" immediately reminded me of this video

"Horror movie vibes in hip-hop" is spelled "clipping."

edit: more specifically, "Dat Killa Crew" samples the Halloween score and "Say the Name" is based on another seminal horror movie, Candyman

edit 2: switched the URL to the lyrics video because it's incredibly well done and oddly captivating

 

New Occult doom rock trio with a very "classic Sabbath meets Jefferson Airplane" sound. It's a little early to tell, but they appear to be worthy successors to the throne of Witch Mountain.

I saw Alkaline Trio at the 2002 Warped Tour, which was fantastic (edit: in retrospect, I'd say 2000-2003 was truly the Golden Age of Warped Tour) Out of all the amazing bands I saw/discovered, the one I still listen to to this day is ETiD, so I connected my favorite song from the 2002 era, "Ebolarama"

 

My favorite song about circles

 

"Go back to sleep!"

It's been linked before but it's been stuck in my head ever since the Luda song got posted

When I clicked link to the Sunn O))) song, YouTube Music's next recommendation was for Sleep, so here's my favorite "single" by that band, "Dragonaut"

edit: If I was to link my favorite song by Sleep, it'd be Dopesmoker, but not everyone is into an hour-long album consisting of a single song, so I usually play to the masses

In the Don Henley song, he references "a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac," but in the cover by The Ataris, it's updated to "a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac," so I thought of the title track to my favorite Black Flag album

"Le Freak" is a prime example of funk/RnB evolving into disco, so I always need to follow up "Le Freak" with one of the three best disco-funk songs:

Today I posted "Car Wash" because that intro is so completely capitvating and unlike most anything else from the disco era (although I suppose the same could be said of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood")

 

Hot rods make me think of greasers and pinup girls, which makes me think of psychobilly

Plum's connection to Gomez got me thinking about songs and bands that are tied to specific memories, which reminded me this song by Islands, which I listened to extensively while on one of my first and best vacations I took with my wife.

edit: Also, this is a fantastic summer/tropical holiday song
