Nova Carmina

Because it just played on my iTunes "shuffle" setting, I thought of Helmet. They had one radio hit, the Sabbath-esque "Unsung," but have an album called Unsung: The Best of Helmet 1991-1997. Actually, since I haven't listened to any other tracks from that album, I suppose it's possible it's really just a single!

So, you're saying that it's possible for two things to be true at the same time? Mind. Blown. Plato would disagree, but he's dead, so . . . .

LPs for the cover art, CDs for the convenience. I'll go digital if the file is something lossless, but what I really can't stand are tinny little .mp3 files. The stuff I get from iTunes is strictly for passing fancies.

I don't want to tread on SOCN's turf, but I facepalmed hard when I heard that protesters in San Francisco (I think) had torn down a statue of Ulysses S. Grant. I'm generally sympathetic to the removal of Confederate statues, but this is literally the guy who ground the Confederacy into the dust! WTF? I can hear the mob now -- "It's an old guy with a beard! He probably owned slaves! Bring it down!" History, people! Know it.

As Seinfeld once said, "People! They're the worst."

I am not familiar with The Big Bus (although I do know Weird Al's "Another One Rides the Bus"), but surely the parody of parodies is "Airplane!" I'm smiling right now just typing the title . . .

B-52s, Beatles, and VH1 for me!

Happy Anniversary!
