for those inclined, the actors from the film That Thing You Do! are doing a You Tube podcast/concert at 4pm PST (7pm EST) on Friday in honor of Adam Schlesinger (RIP), who helped write most of the soundtrack with Tom Hanks…. I believe the channel is called The Wonders, as a nod to the fictional band from the film.

Yeah, I watched “The Disney Family Sing-Along” tonight. So sue me. It was actually pretty fun, though I think I was way less excited about the “High School Musical” reunion than everyone under, say, 25 years old was. And I was slightly horrified by how many grandchildren Donnie Osmond has. But other than that, I enjoyed it.
Music? There’s a new Mountain Goats EP/album-let, a bunch of short numbers recorded on the boom box he recorded on in the 90s. I just started listening to it; it’s broadly about pagans, apparently. Streaming free here
Hail the Panasonic! Hail the inscrutable engines of chance! Hail Cybele!
I am so old that this was the very first time I’d ever heard the song. I’m sure the younger people in the audience loved it , but it was a little too auto-tuned for me compared to the other performances.

Ever heard of the podcast, I Only Listen to The Mountain Goats?

@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): Ironically, I’ve never listened to it. I am however in a mountain goats shitposting group on facebook, along with the host.

I just saw this video a few days ago, and I’m hooked. https://youtu.be/fYi9Vr8bHJY

Really? I’m thinking that video was produced by a racist because all the people were white, especially the children – all lily white and fair-haired.

A lovely song. Ma’s stringwork is brilliant. Allison’s voice is so fine.

Not sure if trolling or you need your eyes checked. ? I definitely saw at least a few brunette kids in there.

Here’s a different fan video with landscapes of Oregon and no people. Happy now?

Some of you might like this. A lot of Aussies would like it to be our national anthem. If this works?
