This is simultaneously one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen while underscoring how absolutely garbagey garbage crap the original is.

Same. I used to be annoyed by the ubiquity of JLP back then, but I really do think it hold up well, strong songwriting.

OMG, that’s beautiful. But you oughta know that, here in Canada, this is how we will always remember our Alanis (before she got her last name):

COMPLETELY agree (ok, I might not put JLP in a top-10 90s albums list - there were a lot of great albums in the 90s). But that record bangs, and it absolutely holds up 25 years later, and I think it sounds even better now than it did then. It certainly has held up a lot better than something like Stabbing Westward,…

Crikey. I am simultaneously intrigued and horrified.

She could always listen to her own originals. She was Tiffany/Britney in Canada in the early 90s. 

THAT’S the original story of this cover?! I’ve loved that video for so long and I had no idea how it came to be.

This made me laugh so hard.  Thanks for the Monday pick-up!

I remember the night I discovered this video - the whole room of friends went absolutely berserk.

TIL I learned you can be a semi-pro flag football player and there are national flag football tournaments

I kind of hustled some guys in a swimming race. I say kind of because I never actually said I wasn’t a good swimmer. I just let them make their own assumptions. Anyway, I was the only girl in my lifeguarding class, and right from the first start, the two alpha frat-bros in the group and the instructor (a mid-20s…

This one time I sent exhaustive polling data to Russian intelligence so they could pinpoint a disinformation campaign to help me win the presidency of the United States.

del Toro as Swiper feels a little on the nose. Morally compromised, sneaky dude is like half his IMDb page at this point. The second he came onscreen in The Last Jedi the entire theater seemed to be expecting his sudden but inevitable betrayal. 

You’re right, coach. When I think “accountability,” I think Michigan State.

I would absolutely have tried to keep this shit secret. She wasn’t only on Game of Thrones, but also in a fucking Star Wars movie. I would never, ever want to try and recover from a brain injury while a bunch of people bothered me about it, asking about it every 10 minutes and probably getting even more creepy…

I remember when he came up, I was 17 and still really in to baseball, and I thought, “This guy’s 27, and coming over from Japan? And he’s not a pitcher? Yeah, good luck.”

Captain America is clunky filmmaking, but it’s got heart, so I have a soft spot for it. It also helped establish Cap as my favorite character.

I used to think Iron Man 2 was the worst MCU film by a long shot, but after half a dozen viewings (I watch the entire MCU over a two week period every year - I call it Avengermas!), I finally got turned around. Stark’s erratic, annoying antics go down easier when you remember that he’s dying, and Pepper’s role as…

When my older sister was more than a week late being born, my parents asked the doctor if it would be okay for my mom to go to the college football game they had tickets to the next day. After verifying that the seats were in the nosebleeds, the doctor said he recommended it, as climbing all those stairs might induce…
