They did all their hits in their original keys. I was duly impressed that Simon can still hit all the notes live and sound pretty good doing it.

Saw them last week and they were very good. They've been at it 30 years, they'd better be.

I'm actually reading "The Death of Expertise" right at this moment and it's eerily relevant. But what I've seen just in the past few months makes me think that Tom Nichols was overly optimistic.

Let's not forget her delightful killed-a-dog-under-questionable-circumstances brother.

I hope they bring Melissa McCarthy back in Spicer now and again form just to loom outside White House windows, peering at the goings-on with longing. Or in a navy suit, trying to blend in with the drapes a la Comey and not get kicked out of the WH despite losing his job.

He married the Hearst heiress. I'm sure he's doing mainlining much less plebian than PCP.

Yeah, BBC reported that AP confirmed an LA County coroner's report earlier this afternoon.

I'm going to start hearing Trump's tweets in Corpsegrinder's voice in my head now. Thank you for that.

Holy crap, he's his own Baghdad Bob, isn't he…

I was at a Meshuggah show - geez, a decade ago? - and watching a bunch of metalhead neckbeards trying to get a circle pit started with the shifting time signatures was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. Like, they were looking for a downbeat to hurl themselves at each other, but they kept either anticipating…

I am far beyond festival-going age, but I like seeing these bands from a comfortable distance. I've been lucky to catch a lot of them from the edge of the pit, in venues with actual chairs when my age catches up to me with decent earplugs firmly jammed in.

I saw them a few years back in a smaller venue and it was hands-down one of the most fun gigs I've seen. A few songs in, someone close to the stage handed the lead singer a pitcher full of beer. Of course, being a good Viking, he took a deep swig and prepared to sing the next number, but then the entire pit started…

I know glioblastoma's relatively rare, and that every cancer is its own beast (and more of a concern in the developed world with longer lifespans), but I hope that wherever progress is made, it spills over into other areas. I have a lot of admiration for people in fields like yours.

This commentariat never ceases to surprise me. A few days ago someone mentioned they were a criminal defense lawyer, you're a - radiation oncology physicist? a) Excuse me while I donate to my regional cancer research foundation, and b) I wish you all the success in your field, glioblastomas are a bitch, regardless…

By the 1:10 mark, I just kept hearing "Billy Unsand". I kept watching out of fascination and because it's well-edited. Now I'm going to just use "Milliard" or "miliardo" or "миллиард" if I run across the need to use "billion" anytime soon because if I have to say "billions" out loud, my brain may break.

I've got tickets for Bryan Ferry next month and this setlist is essentially my playlist until then:
The Main Thing / Slave To Love / Ladytron / Out Of The Blue / Simple Twist of Fate / A Wasteland / Windswept / Bete Noire / Stronger Through The Years / Like A Hurricane / Re-Make/Re-Model / In Every Dream Home A…

Upvoted for DCD. Brendan Parry and Lisa Gerrard are definitely more than the sum of their parts IMO.
