“for people to come crawling out of the woodwork and trying to claim it, it’s just fucking ridiculous. It’s bullshit.”

Gotta go with this hazy, proggy jam from the inimitable Geoff and Tim Follin: Plok! - Beach

And for those of you ctrl+f-ing in dismay, here's your keyword: Jimmy Pardo. Paul F. Tompkins steals the shit out of the spotlight in this intro, though.

I had no idea these games had a plot at all, to be honest! I only really know Fantasy Zone because its music as a franchise is so good. "Water Melody" from Super Fantasy Zone is sublime.

"Because, you are made of earth!" "Corn grows in you!"

I enjoyed his deep cut to TMBG's "Weep Day" near the end of Qualifiers

Soundtrack opinions: CD US > CD JP; 3D Blast Genesis > 3D Blast Saturn. Fight me

The band Frog Eyes ticks all my idiosyncratic music tastes in one go. Clattering, elaborate, messy, baroque art rock? Yes please. Sunset Rubdown is a close neighbor as well.

It's… happening? It's happening?!?

I remember when the first Arcade Fire EP started making the rounds online in mid/late 2003, and one music-sharing site I frequented described it as something like "Neutral Milk Hotel with childlike vocals." There's no point to this, it's just something I suddenly remembered and had to type for some reason. Thanks for…

I first heard "he's a man with a long handshake" on an old episode of Superego and it has remained my favorite ever since.

i want that pill

Congrats to Greggy on breaking into the hallowed halls of Podmass

GOD DAMN IT! YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE TO TRICK ME, YOU'RE MY FRIENDS!

Damn if I don't love Hercules Mulligan's explosive verse in "Yorktown".

This was great, but I do have to call out the Tetis for not knowing NH borders Quebec. It's practically required by law in NH to complain about drivers from Mass or Quebec any time you see one.

Oh, also, shout out to The Books. Every album (hell, practically every song) has at least one breathtakingly beautiful/weird moment.

Yup. I'm not sure a more arresting or indelible song/video exists (especially if you adjust for inflation).

Moxie is wonderful, you philistines. (Especially when mixed with the darkest, most molasses-packed rum you can find.)

That Heartlines 104.4 video embedded above contains MY personal favorite Superego moment, which is PFT at the beginning as the drunk fireman. Every line is a slam dunk.
