NYT Crossword uses "___ Lingus" as a clue when they need to have AER work in the grid ... and every time I joke (to myself) "'CUNNI' doesn't fit in there!" and I laugh

Cascadia ... the game I would absolutely love if my son didn't thrash me every single time we play 😂

💿 The Answer
🗣️ Savages

If I were drafting a fantasy band, I’d probably pick Jehnny Beth as my singer

(with Simon Gallup on bass, Nick Rhodes on keys, Jimmy Chamberlin on drums, Daniel Kessler and Courtney Barnett on guitar, and Jamie xx on miscellaneous)

💿 Worm(S)

A blast of punk energy from the band with that drummer who went on to become the cowboy who veils his face

💿 The Same Deep Water As You
🗣️ The Cure

In the discussion for their best song. I have yet to experience it live, sadly — I missed out on the Prayer Tour in 1989.

A childhood memory of mine in a similar vein: my dad drove the family to Decorah to see “Fletch” rather than wait for it to eventually grace the big screen in Waukon. Good man, my dad.

Also: halfway through, a guy a couple rows behind exclaimed “I gotta get this soundtrack!” Harold Faltermeyer fan!
