Bonus! I have as many days left on the job as the number of digits to get through to you, per this obscure ‘80s melodic punk outfit from Toronto; I used to own and love this cassette!

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.

I saw Silent Rage at a sleepover as a wee lad and it scared the wet blueberries out of me. Still does today, but the Chuck Norris, White Wine and Light Jazz Lovemaking montage is its own kind of horror

I think Radio Radio’s Belmundo Regal is one of the most consistent albums of all time and is delivered in a hybrid French-English patois called “chiac” that exists only in the Maritimes.
