I’m too embarrassed to share my Apple Music thing but « Konbini » by RetroJapan is way up there. It’s an instrumental that uses the song from when you open the door at Family Mart as the main sample. Until you’ve wrecked a shirt from spilling Famichiki grease on it you won’t understand

Ice T’s Colors is an interesting choice for a background music intermission song at a Sloan show

Somewhat relatedly to the previous tweet, in 93 my dad spent a ridiculous amount of time driving to the McDonald’s in Kenora when we were down there anyway so that he could buy the Ontario-exclusive Jays cards and we could build a set together. We ended up with like 2-3 copies of most of the cards

Just remembering the old days when for some reason the radio station in Winkler broadcasted every Jays game with Tom Cheek and Jerry Howarth.

They probably weren’t paying very much because it’s Winkler. But their signal extends into Winnipeg if you’re ok with static. Especially at night time.

I’m up watching Sideways for the first time in like 20 years. Paul Giamatti was younger at the time than I am now and he was acting like some pathetic old man who had nothing left to live for. This might be a generational thing, many people Gen X and older still talk to me like I’m a kid.

The world only has so many guitar riffs and they’ve all been used but tell me this doesn’t sound like Three Pistols by The Hip. Most likely coincidental too youtu.be/d1nLwZ2j0rw?...

If you want to go to the CEBL final and don’t care that the Sea Bears aren’t in it, the tickets are getting cheap on StubHub. I’ll be there. I hope K-Os does I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman

I’m just wondering if there’s a point to using TimeLeft in Winnipeg, or I could just DM invite 50 randoms here to show up someplace one night and see which 5 actually show up

If you can separate the art from the artist, the artist had like 3 particularly good matches outside of Japan but was also a very accessible starting point for further research

Millennials are closer in age to Ozzy when he was on The Osbournes (53) than the distance between that age and the age he made it to (76).

You’re welcome

It doesn’t say much for the boxing world that Jake Paul is the first promoter in ages who has realized that women’s boxing can be marketable on a large scale

I think I need to be here more because X is getting progressively worse. But anyways thanks everyone for still following me when I have 4 posts and no profile pic or bio.

Justice Minister Wiebe doesn’t seem to be on BSky but he coincidentally posted this photo on social media (from back when he was an opposition MLA and Nello was a candidate) as his tribute to Nello Altomare. I’m so glad he found it as I’m not big on selfies. RIP Nello, God bless the Altomare family.

I’ve seen so many of these kind of documentaries that it no longer surprises me that a McDonald’s manager from Kansas managed to convince people she was Jesus and that Robin Williams talked to her from heaven

I don’t think I can write or say “skeet” unironically unless you use the Men In Black wand to erase the existence of Lil Jon from my brain

I feel like I’m in a lunch room with all the funny/interesting people from 2015 Twitter and will end up sitting by myself eavesdropping on their convos cause I have nothing to add
