I know Thundercat covered George Duke's "For Love (I Come Your Friend)" but I think I Mandela Effected myself into assuming he covered this too somehow?

considering Jay "made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can" this is a solid juxtaposition

not only is this excellent, it alerted me to the fact that there was an MLB pitcher with the exact same name as the guy who played drums on Billy Squier's "The Big Beat"

I think he was supposed to be based on WC Fields for some reason? But yeah, that was off as for me, I used to be terrified of the short with the stop-motion opera-singing orange

RIP J. Todd Anderson The Coen brothers’ use of storyboards was integral to their creative process & the hugely talented Anderson brought their cinematic ideas to life since Raising Arizona.

never heard the title cut to Herb Alpert's first post-'Rise' LP and it sounds like the kind of library music that always shows up in Bois/Rubenstein's Secret Base videos. I imagine this playing while a series of charts and news clippings tell the story of how Julio Franco's batting stance evolved

Do you think Dolly heard an advance cut of this "Islands in the Stream" by Meshell Ndegeocello and Chaka Khan? I think she would have felt honored and delighted. From SYNONYM, the crazy-good new Meshell joint, which is a covers album in the way that Notre-Dame is a building youtu.be/Py-wFewGs48?...

I like the Discourse Song fine but I'll still take "it's pretty obscure, you probably haven't heard of it" over "it's everywhere, how have you not heard it?!" as animating sentiments go

yeah, and you can tweak it in a granular way too. And the melee combat is kind of button-mashy so far but also very satisfying and you get to string together a lot of acrobatic craziness, I've seen Devil May Cry comparisons and they're not far off

Nate Patrin 🎧 @natepatrin.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

so far so good, just beat the first boss and it's taking some getting used to but the adjustable difficulty helps a ton and the story is going somewhere interesting as far as I can tell

Between the release of 'Control: Resonant' and 'Backrooms' coming to HBO Max I think I'm going to have a pretty off-kilter weekend.

I mean technically the NYT is accurate in that 'Breaking Bad' is the best TV show of the century, they just didn't specify the correct one
