Marillion - Kayleigh

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Davy's On The Road Again

Arright. Here goes:

Electric Light Orchestra - (Is This) The Way Life's Meant To Be (?)

The Pogues - Fiesta

Still digesting today's episode. Though I will say... ...I think that just about covers it. Also, Ep4 seems to be when Marvel shows properly kick off and/or go off the deep end.

I'm tempted to set up a fake NFT advice Twitter bot posting thinly-disguised Rules Of Acquisition, and see how fast one of the following happens: a) I get an endorsement deal b) I get hacked to punt dodgy NFTs (several blue-tick accounts were taken over last week to push SneakerHead NFTs) c) people notice

Jools Holland & The Playboys - Theme from Danger Man (aka "Highwire")

The Skatalites - SkaBooDaBa

ZZ Top - Thunderbird 🧔

Another thing to note in Marvel lately is that Waititi - and others - have been embracing more of the art of Marvel. Shot for shot - well, frame for frame, I suppose.

"Sweet Child" is a slightly odd choice, though IMHO: It's still very much Blessed By The Gods Of Rock, but the pacing and whining wistful tone are ideal for a slower, more reflective trailer. As m'learned coll' @InvaderStych says, it's very much "where do we go now..." The song choice does imply our favourite 80s throwback Avenger isn't searching for something so much as... someone. But she's very much a new model someone. I don't know if you've been in that situation where someone tries to come back to a relationship after absence, where one has gone through a major change (on either side). But someone just trying to pick up where they left off and expecting it to all go the same... does not choose wisely. Learning to set aside what you had and embrace the new is a Major Learning Process for anyone, let alone our overconfident blonde lummox... ...even moreso when she's just taken his gig and looking damn fine doing it. Another lyric is "I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain". There's a lot of things this could refer to, not least...

So, after a colossal amount of internet whinge whenever Marvel did anything but drop this teaser, here it is.

Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra ft. Bugs Bunny - Overture, Barber Of Seville (Rossini, arr. Stalling) 🐰🥚

The Surfrajettes - Toxic

Vegomatic - Générique de / Theme From Vegomatic

Or is it Zombie Scarlet Witch finishing a meal of brains (or if it's Peter Quill's head, a light snack?) They hired Raimi... they got Raimi.

Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Reasons To Be Cheerful (Part 3)

One for @Fire Chief... we're gonna do the original version of this song... nice... and easy... Creedence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary ...then we're gonna do it. Nice. And. Rough. Tina Turner - Proud Mary (Live In Arnhem 2009)

That varies a bit depending on the system used: DogeCoin's authors, despite creating it as a spoof/joke, fixed a lot of the inherently wasteful processes and problems of the original Bitcoin. Thus proving that you have to do things better than the original for comedy, but I digress. As a rough guide: One (1) successfully completed DOGE transaction requires ~0.1kWh of energy. This is about the same as running a gaming laptop for about an hour: it's also equivalent to the total end-to-end energy cost of 8 credit card transactions. So, a fair amount, but not ludicrous. Estimates vary as to how much a BTC transaction costs. According to Statista, it's now over 2,000 kWh - and this will only go up as Bitcoin's built-in artificial scarcity tightens. (Only 10% of the maximum BTC remain to be mined.) Again, for comparison, that's roughly the amount electricity an average household of four would use in six months. So,

So, anyone hungry?

Journey - Separate Ways

Final trailer just dropped, and it looks like the Duffers have not wasted the last 3 years. Season will be in two parts - first part drops May 27th, conclusion 1st July. So, let the wild unfounded speculation and flaming begin!

As is the guy in the below quoted tweet. FWIW, while I'm an entirely unsuitable person to be a judge of any kind, I would also be irritated by this person. Probably without knowing what they did or who they were, just due to the Redolent Aura Of Smug +5. (30' radius, roll d100 to check vs instant grumpiness, murderous rage on Critical Fail) Also, I hadn't run into Gripnr before. That didn't produce rage, just a resigned sigh: you know what kind of folks they're going to be by the fact they have a loose -R on the end of their app, like Flickr, Tumblr, Grindr, Scissr etc-r. I guess they're all just wannabe pirates.

I don't think they started off that way. But it didn't take long to get that way once the sharks moved in. They're obviously far from the only thing crims and 1%ers can use to defraud people or move/hide money - think art, wine, property deeds - but by far the most portable, and a bit more tricky to seize for enforcement purposes.
