It's interesting when a 22 year old is listening to MESMERIZED BY THE SIRENS which I recorded when I was 22, Many lifetimes ago in 1987!!!
Some moods are eternal, I see.

How do you keep the noise of all the chaos and all those sirens out of your head? I do it with order and anal-compulsion which keeps the noise at bay so it doesn’t overwhelm me. She said that for her, the noise is much closer to the surface. It’s a roar, the Klaxons always wailing.

I like that i don't even know much about Projekt Records aside from Black Tape for a Blue Girl and Area but i can often tell by ear if a band was on Projekt because they have such a distinct sound

My mom was Swiss, but I was made in America; apparently I can no longer call myself "Swiss-made," based on the 2017 Swissness Act. 🤣 @npr.org

Toblerone is no longer Swiss enough to feature the Matterhorn on its packaging
Toblerone is moving some of its production to Slovakia, meaning it can no longer legally call itself "Swiss-made." That branding change will include swapping the iconic peak for a more generic one.

I always though Marc was singing: "Barney 1, Barney 2, Barney 3,Barney 4" ... it's actually "Body 1, body 2, body 3, body 4." It's better to think he called all the guys from random bathouse & backroom encounters "Barney."

My Star Wars Hot Take:
Donald Glover should have played Han in "Solo: A Star Wars Story." He's a better actor (than the guy who played Han) and much more engaging on the screen!
