Doing a Columbo rewatch….i’ve always thought “The Conspirators” was vastly underrated, but I’m putting “Blueprint For Murder” on that list now #columbotv #WhenDidWeCallPeopleLover

I know FIFA is corrupt and terrible AF, but there is nothing I look forward to more in the sporting realm than the World Cup. So, apart from my usual serving of #hypocrisy , I’m adding another helping on top. That said, Go England.

Banger or Whanger? I subject our panel to a movie that I wish I could say was the “sum of its parts”, but seemingly there seems to be “no parts”. A missed opportunity of sorts plus the horrendous Billy Zane. Bonus: Squelch knowledge! Join us!

That being said…does “fun” alone have a cultural impact? I think not. If we’re going by that metric, the B-52’s would have been granted the honor years ago. I love KISS but they don’t deserve this honor. Enjoy the music, but I can’t find a “cultural impact” argument persuasive. 3/3 End of rant.

Oliver Rockside @oliverrockside.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

I love KISS; been a fan since I first heard “Dressed To Kill”. They possessed limited musical abilities (exception: Ace), rudimentary writing skill, and we won’t even discuss their lyrical acumen. However, they were fun. I never dismiss music based on a “fun” quotient. 2/3

Oliver Rockside @oliverrockside.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

I’ve always considered the Kennedy Center Honors a celebration of cultural impact on America. While I disagree from a musical perspective on a minority of choices (Paul Simon, Carlos Santana), I cannot justify an argument against their cultural contributions 1/3

Oliver Rockside @oliverrockside.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

Sad to see the end of PBS. I discovered so much from them, Masterpiece Theatre, Prime Suspect, Fawlty Towers, Butterflies, The McLaughlin Group, Monty Python and, of course, (if you watched the Buffalo station) endless “Mike & Goldie” jokes based on their enthusiastic earnestness.

Although sidelined into irrelevance and a punch line by the despicable Mike Love, never forget the genius of Brian Wilson and the work he created. Listening to “Pet Sounds” and the apex of his singles ability “Wouldn’t It Be Nice/God Only Knows” will make it evident to you.
