neonvincentMy comment on DCI 2025- Marching Arts Weekly Score Recap week of July 3rd.

My comment on Bolide over southeast U.S. and Asteroid 2024 YR4 update for Asteroid Day and Meteor Watch Day at Instagram.
Narb, it's (almost) never aliens. Maybe if extrasolar object Atlas skipped off the atmosphere, but it's not getting that close.
My comment on 'The Big Beautiful Bill, Explained' by Leeja Miller.
Welcome back to Crazy Eddie's Motie News! Hope to see you more around here!
I think you read my blog more when I posted regularly at Greer's and Kunstler's blogs. I post rarely at Greer's blogs the past few years and haven't posted at Kunstler's since Halloween 2019.
I had a lot to say about Greer in I ask The Archdruid and his readers 'Can you show us on the doll exactly where the educated professionals hurt you?' A Festivus airing of grievances, especially in the comments. As for his banging the same old drum, I can relate. On the one hand, he's getting predictable. On the other, I'm older than he is and have been blogging for nearly as long. At some point, it's easier to settle on a set of favorite points and pound them home than it is to come up with something new. I'm starting to do that already.

Ten years ago, I wrote "Michael Bay. He's all about the BOOM!" https://crazyeddiethemotie.blogspot.com/2015/02/razzies-and-robocop.html That written, there are other auteurs whose films reality could imitate, like Alex Garland, who directed 'Civil War.' That would be less fun.
My comments on It's a Jungle Out There.
I had to check to see that they are indeed on Spotify. I listen to podcasts there, not music. I found The Cog Is Dead on YouTube thanks to the algorithm recommending the band to me.
By the way, I think this is the first time I've heard all the lyrics in one sitting. My wife and I got about halfway through binging all of Monk so we've heard one of the verses all the way through multiple times, but may have heard the other verse only once, if that. I had to check to see if these were the original lyrics or if The Cog Is Dead added the second verse. Nope, all Randy Newman's.
Oh, it's original to Monk. It won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music in 2004. That also explains why it feels nostalgic. Monk ran from 2002-2009, so it's more than 20 years old.
My comment on PBS Terra exclaims 'Wait...The Worst Possible US Disaster Just Got EVEN WORSE?!?'

My comment on Not 4K 60fps Blue Devils 2025 "Variations on a Gathering" - DCI Drum Corps at the Rose Bowl Pasadena.
Theme parks and drum corps? You're my kind of person. Subscribed!
My comment on Listening to people worry about lower birthrates on World Population Day is enough to drive me to drink on National Mojito Day.

My comment on Tastes like deep time...
Congratulations, Joss! You've just demonstrated the science behind the 2023 Ig Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry and Geology: "Jan Zalasiewicz of the University of Leicester for explaining why many scientists like to lick rocks."
My abandoned comment on 2025 Box Office - Superman 2nd Weekend Drop, Fantastic Four Opening Weekend Preview. Grace corrected herself in a pinned comment before I could post it; KPop Demon Hunters does qualify for the Oscars.
29:10 So the songs in "KPop Demon Hunters" don't qualify for the Oscars. They still qualify for the GRAMMys, Emmys — yes the TV awards have Outstanding Music and Lyrics, which "Agatha All Along" won — and probably the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, both of which have Best Song awards. The Oscars may be the biggest game in Tinseltown, but it's not the only one.
My comment on why is OUGH so tough, though?
Now you have me imagining Roya Venturera as a guest on Otherwords.
