The dog perspective issue is one of the great accomplishments of the medium.

The hook is pretty much lifted wholesale from Season of the Sticks, a far superior song of surprisingly recent vintage

The problem with 8 billion people is that there are 8000 of the one in a million horrible people. Well, one of the problems.

I would support an inorganic movement to do the correct number of claps to match the original in each break. I doubt the is a sufficient competence quorum to achieve this, but aspiration is the breath of life.

XTC was by far my favorite band in high school, and I listened to them for literally hours every day. It's actually one of my least favorite songs of theirs, which comes from having heard the weird outro hundreds of times, but still. Elated, not even slightly confused.

Seems unlikely they'd abandon something so successful now. It's fun, and yes, not doing 96 would be a travesty. I haven't done a NYE run in years, but I'm absolutely considering it if it starts with a 97 show.

I agree on the former, but not the latter

5 Nothing else makes sense. I guess guitar heavy shredding versions of new songs with the bass turned down and retro lights would qualify, but satisfy no one.

Catapult and Lengthwise are the two great interstitial jam nomads, generally markers of the greatest of shows. I'd love to see an average show rating for appearances of each song. I would bet these two and Buffalo Bill are all quite high in that theoretical list. Here's hoping for all three.

It refers to tools as hallmarks of civilization? I was always just impressed how much it sounds like a train.

It's like bringing up something really interesting right before you leave a conversation. It's a phenomenal table setter.

Buried Alive is arguably the best opener. (Crowd Control is also arguable, but you're going to have a lot more arguments.)

Bluesky needs a button to tag something as AI, with accompanying filters. I don't want to heart something that is AI. I want to ignore it at a glance, or never see it in the first place.

They're in a financial pinch due to circumstances largely out of their control. Due diligence is literally the job of the general manager. The cat's already out of the bag, so he might as well look around and see what's out there.

I would think the 5 letter combo with only a y in the center for a vowel would have already gotten you there. They have at least 2 more games to go!

It's definitely dampened. The audience is white enough to make it comfortable. Personally, I can't get past the fact that that is clearly Louis Armstrong portrayed as a monkey trying to be human, which was mean spirited, racist commentary on the man. I suspect that's why it's out of rotation.

It's the logical endpoint for the anti-woke movement

Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
It also has super racist origins, so understandable that they've let it go. A monkey who is obviously Louis Armstrong wanting to be human? Enh.

That's a very good point. I would absolutely never fly into this country from abroad unless absolutely necessary. It would be interesting to see a comparison to equivalent Canadian sites. I suspect the overlap between camping and World Cup attendance is minimal. It's incredibly unaffordable.

Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
That's amazing. Camping was absolutely booming because of the bad economy for years, as the last refuge of affordable vacation for struggling families. If even that is out, things are going very badly. (I'm assuming gas prices are having an effect here )

I think of patient as allowing it to slowly develop and trusting the process enough to let something interesting to develop organically. Generally, something does develop, or people would use works like 'boring' to describe it.

Bomb Factory is easily one of the top shows ever. I think part of the problem is ranking shows from 1 to 5. Most people are going to rank most shows 4 or 5 stars. So it's a mess statistically. Shows should be ranked from 1 to 100 stars for sufficient nuance.

Within the accusations as confessions category, this is particularly bleak. Unfortunately we have a number of systems in place that reward the absolute worst, and we are reaping the rewards of those systems.

There's also the matter of the absolute environmental catastrophe we're accelerating for no discernable benefit. I can't fathom why this isn't front and center in this conversation.
