You hear them still, you always will

I got my second Moderna shot today. So far I just have some arm pain, like I did with the first, and I hope that's all. My brother had a very bad reaction to his second shot, though he also had much more of a reaction to his first shot than I did.

After I got it at what was once a Modell's Sporting Goods, I was told to leave the building through some sketchy-looking areas. I was moving so quickly because I had someone right behind me.

I was tempted to get this T-shirt due to my politics but I'm far more of a Pittsburgh girl, especially since I had bad experiences each of the three times I've been in Philadelphia and can't abide semi-supporting a Philly team. (That's Gritty riding the mower.) I might have bought it if the shirt's text mentioned that it's located between a sex shop and a crematorium.

It took a recent Apple commercial to make me find out that a song I really loved from Pigface is a cover of a song from post-punk band Delta 5. I'm amused that an industrial band smoothed the song out more, but I do prefer the cover version. I associate Pigface's "Mind Your Own Business" with Schuldig and his telepathy, especially the background asides.

Vaguely adjacent to this, here's a link to a nearly industrial song Chris Isaak did on his debut album Silvertone in 1985, before he settled into a niche, when he was somewhat more experimental. "Unhappiness" fits into his retro preferences even as the background sounds like a record playing wrong.

I have four of his albums and he unfortunately doesn't do anything else like this on any of them.

Whether he's doing improv or a comedy sketch, DMing a campaign, or competing on a game show, Brennan Lee Mulligan is usually worth my clicks on YouTube. The following short video may not be the favorite thing of mine he's done, but I'm amused that even after transplanting in California he still shows his NYC roots in this: "A Subway Announcement Becomes Self-Aware."

Blaine is a pain.

On the same game show (though not the same episode) as in the short above, in his frustration at utterly losing, Brennan improvs a whole villain monologue on the spot as he shows that he figured out what just happened. You can comment here or at the Dreamwidth crosspost.
