I definitely showed New Japan Pro Wrestling to a dance instructor friend of mine a couple years ago and she absolutely loved it, having instantly connected to it via her dance background. I said to her "well, wrestling is using athleticism to tell a story, like dance" and she immediately agreed
I honestly put them in the same stratosphere as the Beatles and Stones, and I don't think it's a controversial take
My favorite band is Brainiac and always shall be. And yet
That Fugazi Albini session has me convinced yet again that they are probably the objectively greatest rock and roll band produced by the American punk rock underground. I know, I know...Nirvana, Sonic Youth, etc. But have you heard Brendan Canty's drumming on "Smallpox Champion?"
Weird little booking hiccup on #AEW #Collision tonight: when Takeshita was IWGP World Champ, he and CMLL World Champ Claudio went to a draw in the C2 so that neither world champ was put over the other. Now Takeshita has a lesser NJPW title, and the CMLL champ clean. Booking is hard. π€Ό
I will always mark out for Tony Schiavone ending a wrestling broadcast with "we gotta go; we're out of time!" #Collision #AEW #Nitro #WCW π€Ό
If you weren't a fan of Persephone before, watch her win the #CMLL World Women's Championship from Mercedes Mone, and you will be converted. They had that crowd ROCKING. Killer match! π€Ό
Persephone is such a natural babyface in Arena Mexico, holy smokes. She looks like a million bucks, too. She's a star in the making, big time. #CMLL π€Ό
More wrestling shows should have video screens advertising clamato π€Ό
It sounds great!
Second half of this show has been complete fire. Megan Bayne/Olympia was a slobberknocker! #CMLL π€Ό
This #CMLL women's show is really making me want to get to a show at Arena Mexico. The atmosphere seems like a huge party. π€Ό
I am a land of contrasts
My 90s were the peak of 20something me obsessively digging to find a strain of weirdo art-damaged rock music that sat in a VERY specific window between pop and noise, so I'm sure to my ears they were probably too "clean" back then or something. And yet Cheap Trick's been a BIG love since about 2000
Oh yeah, I have been confusing Superdrag and Supergrass for decades. DECADES
Music is a life long journey of discovery
And yet Superchunk are all time faves of mine
I just got to Superdrag's song "Garmonbozia" and ok, yeah, that would have flown right by me in the 90s because I didn't click with David Lynch yet. I guess I just wasn't ready for power pop during my "give me all the Brainiac and Melt-Banana and Shellac" period

Man, I REALLY missed the boat on Superdrag in the 90s. This shit rules
Legit LOL
Pretty sure that "Envoy for The Shield of the Americas" means "she's going to a farm upstate to play with all the other former cabinet members"
Obstruct the confirmation of Mullin as long as possible. Absolutely no yes votes from Dems, for FUCK sake
Hereβs the deal: if you give money to this war, we get to tattoo the names of all 165 dead girls on every surface of your skin
Ahhh, this rules!
*of it
I'll give a yes to Mequon. I think if it as "Milwaukee metro area"
When I was a kid there was definitely a Christmas where my grandma gave me a generic "Army Soldier Joe" action figure and told me it was a GI Joe guy. Finlay's not *terrible* but he definitely feels like a GoBot in a toy chest of Transformers
