This song was on the radio and that required me to once again revisit the insane brilliance of Michel Gondry's 1999 video for it, in which he recreates 70s/80s analog video FX with meticulously staged choreography. Just in case anyone hasn't seen this gem from the peak music video era:

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

wait there is a Bhutanese restaurant that shares a name with the newsletter I edit for work? I must go!
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.
