Another that's gotten me listening an inordinate amount is Geoff Castellucci's cover of the Monster Mash.

The Longest Johns' cover of Proud Mary is a *perfect* genre shift for the song.

I don't remember if it's actually good, but I'm pretty sure Bad News Bears is the big example. Also, not a kids' movie but very good and I think still appropriate is the Deep Space Nine episode Take Me Out to the Holosuite.

Hi! I haven't gotten any new commissions in over a month, and I really need consistent work. Please consider commissioning something from me or just sharing. Even small commissions would help out quite a bit. Here's some more photos of stuff I've made:

OK besides this below and DEVO coming out of the Kent State massacre, what are other facts you have about the evolution of art / music /etc that wouldn't be obvious if you didn't know but, retroactively, explain and/or illuminate a LOT ?

Ooh, I know exactly one American football fun fact! The huddle was started by a Deaf team, so they could all see each other signing but the other team couldn't.

People are ridiculous sometimes. I wouldn't mind some examples of people being reasonable and caring about themselves and each other right about now.

Feeling glad I gravitated to lemonade during a rough time. I wonder if spicy food also fits this.

These young activists are incredible. Please read what they have to say and spread it around. Youth organizing is the only thing that gives me any fraction of hope for an otherwise terrifying future.

In my experience, it's like the blandest Midwestern except with soda instead of pop, and a ramada isn't just a Ramada Inn.

it's the end of June and i guess i should shout about the fact The Lantern and the Night Moths is a pretty queer book, especially because Qiu Jin is featured and the section on Fei Ming also talks about translating nothingness/ambiguity which is of interest to ace and aro folks

This is one of many reasons Pi Day is better than Thanksgiving. There's a paucity of pressure to pick sub-par pies. (Pecan gets a pass.)

While we're at it, pumpkin pie is a sub-par form of pumpkin. Savory uses are so much better. Make pumpkin soup and I'll be very happy.

Apple pie is the least interesting fruit pie. I wouldn't go so far as to say I can't stand it, but I'd take canned cherry pie filling over apple pie any day. If we want to have some good stuff, there's peach, strawberry, even blueberry above apple.

That's the one—at once an explanation of the pronunciation and of how it got to be that way (like cannot -> can't).
