My Music Replay put me in the Top 1000 for Dennis McCarthy and Jeff Russo (Jeff isn’t even my top 5 Star Trek composer).
But the wild thing is it had Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s “Shallow” as my most listened to song.
I’m certain I’ve not listened to it once this year, let alone 25 times.

“Captain Borg” is as good an individual track of Star Trek music as anything in the canon. Assuredly top 10.

@gipperfish.bsky.social Just listened to Decoder Ring and did a quick scan of your Vault of Culture page and didn’t see Star Trek: Lower Decks from “Cupid’s Errant Arrow” s1e5.

The fact that Republicans get upset about tearing down confederate monuments, but not demolishing the White House, says a lot.

My take on #StrangeNewWorlds “Four and a Half Vulcans”:
Sometimes, a Primanti sandwich is just a sandwich. It does not require in-depth analysis or to look for spicy takes. You either like it or you don’t.
I enjoyed its camp and tongue-in-cheekiness. No one would care if this were Lower Decks.
