Many people correctly pointed out that Dean Cain betrayed the values of Superman by joining ICE yet I'm not seeing anything about Michael Crawford pissing on the legacy of Condorman.

Never visited the Metaverse so don't know if it had its own version of 'Cleggmania'. Probably explains a lot if it did.

One of those songs where if it had a septum, it would have collapsed long ago.
Lots of takes on "We Built This City" today, apparently.
It's not a song I have ever deliberately chosen to listen to, but its status as canonical "worst song ever" is far more tedious than the song itself. It's neither bad enough nor interesting enough to be worth the performative hatred.

This show is actually about the presents Kevin Costner got for his first Christmas.
Folks you may have been baffled by the “Kevin Costner presents the first Christmas” ad you just saw on ABC
And I am here to make it worse by sharing with you the official poster for this blessed event

Saw the amazing Mermaid Chunky & their (only description I can come up with) beats-driven pastoral witchy Welsh folk last night. Not a great pic but I was reluctant to get too close as they were causing outbreaks of horny barn-dancing among the crowd and I was scared I'd get caught up in the frenzy.

Music's feelgood story of the year.
Testpattern’s “APRES-MIDI” (1982) is the super legendary album that embodies the concept of “techno pop”, But Masao Hiruma secretly recorded 17 songs in 1984 with French-American model/vocalist Evelyne Bennu has been unearthed and released after 41 years!

Don't have a top 5 but I really like Wham Rap (particularly this mildly sweary version), a song about having a great time on the dole and how work is just for suckers. I wish somebody would do a version of this now just for the sheer rage it would cause.

Are there any actual examples of all these post-cancellation great works channelling newfound clarity which become the finest art they've ever made because I can't think of any?
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

I was never much of a fan of Grimes but I remember her being pretty popular and hugely respected as an artist. Do people still like her? She seems to be a bit of a tragic joke these days.
Tomorrow Grimes will DJ a livestream of immortality influencer Bryan Johnson tripping on shrooms to determine its effect on longevity. Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too.

Grimes is a fan of Bryan Johnson, the multimillionaire and immortality influencer who spends his time trying to fight death. He is perhaps best known for undergoing plasma transfusions with donations ...

Actually, forget its dimensions. I'm now thinking it needs the full early 1990s Norwegian black metal treatment.

If any Stranger Things fans are wondering what the song is that they're playing to Max in the first episode, it's called Running Up That Hill and is by the British singer Kate Bush.
