Not a great video, a terrible band name, but they can certainly knock up a catchy pop song.

I'm not including it in my posts, but I think I'm 22% white dudes and certainly less than 20% ancients.

Waidaminute, this isn't Jam on Revenge like I thought, but some inferior follow-up! (apologies to nominator) Does that mean that BPHM8285 is missing one of the seminal electro bangers?!

I was finally persuaded to watch Black Panther by its presence on the NYT best 100 films of the 21st century list.
