Saying "Nice" every time Bryan Adams delivers the chorus of "Summer of '69"

Tidal's top tracks for Blondie Atomic (2001 remaster) Call Me Atomic One Way or Another (from MEAN GIRLS soundtrack)

Somewhat improbably, the #1 and #3 most streamed songs by Blondie on Tidal are "Atomic"

This post inspired by remembering the Colonel Angus sketch (which I recall as being divisive anyway.)

I know everyone has always said SNL isn't as good as it used to be since forever but based on the few recent episodes I've watched it really does feel like every sketch is "Someone acts weird, everyone else loudly points out how weird they are being."

That's going on the EOD playlist

Ow-oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Today's EOD Driving Home Mellow-Out Music:

Joel Plaskkett, "Run, Run, Run"

The Beta Band, "Dry the Rain"

Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros, "Johnny Appleseed"

The Replacements, "Here Comes a Regular"

Belle & Sebastian, "The Ghost of Rockschool"

Jokes on you it's been over for me for years

I just told I was doing well at my temp job. So why do I feel like the paperboy who just dumped them in a ravine?

A tv screen displaying the mobile version of CP24's website, looking like a strip of receipt paper with huge black bars on either side. The screen is mounted above a board showing today's lunch specials, which include jerk chicken and a cheeseburger and fries you definitely should not order because the fries take too long

The tv in this cafe is set to the CP24 mobile site 🤷‍♂️

My mom and aunts are getting to a point in their lives where they are ready to unpack how fucked up their upbringing was and boy does it come up at family gatherings

One was a miner

The other was a drunken gambler who, incidentally, was employed somehow.

((Beck has said that although he father was Scientologist and he grew up around it, he isn't particularly involved in it... For what that's worth)

Cover of Beck's 2026 album Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime, depicting Beck looking pretty much the same as he always has

Wtf why doesn't Beck look old yet

Is this some kind of Scientology thing

Picked up a temp job, and wow, time sure does move differently when doing data entry versus when I'm at home playing solitaire and petting Hank

Oh did they think the actors were the problem?

WORDS WITH FRIENDS: You've just played your first mystery tile! Tap for more info

Me: *chuckling* no thanks, I've actually--

WORDS: Tap. For. More. INFO.

"Wake screen display by moving the phone" who would ever want that??

Email from Scotiabank Subject: Scott, what will your legacy be?

Thanks for the Monday morning existential crisis, Scotiabank.

What TV seasons should get a Criterion release?

Feels weird starting with no history, not even my old contacts. Oh well.

I have a phone again, for what good that does me.

The universe simply does not want me to have a phone.

I liked the years 2021-2024 because I didn't have to think a lot about the United States of America

I'm all gas, no brakes, bad steering column

Sometimes it's hard, toiling away in obscurity, but with a lot of dedication, I manage to *stay* obscure.

What is "Manchild" if not "No Scrubs" for a new generation?

I have bad news and good news, and they're both the same: the phone finally died once and for all and I don't have a new one yet

Mel and I watch a lot of Amazing Race Canada, and often discuss which challenges we would do, and it turns out we would mostly stay home
