That Spotify play button is huge and a mess! Here’s the song in Youtube form.
Enjoy my childhood.
The domain’s been renewed for another year! To celebrate, here is a song that was popular only two years before the domain was registered. (what?)

This is “I’m A Kid Again” from the soundtrack to the television show Home Movies. It’s the melody from one of the jokey songs in the series, but instrumental. For some reason it’s stuck with me.
Now Brendon Small does Metalocalypse and I’m pretty sure none of the songs sound like this.
Hey RPG writers, next time a character asks how spells work, you can just say “magic”.
Ender's Monitor!
Though Ender’s world is one worth saving, it sometimes comes with a price. The novel was amazingly prescient about a great many things: remote controlled drone wars, the internet, the influence of blogging, hand held computing tablets like the I-Pad, and of course, electronic surveillance…
Ender’s Game is my favorite novel and if they ruin this movie I will be very upset.
Spring Heeled Jack (USA) - “Jolene”
Time for a nostalgia-bomb. At least, for me.
Pixies - “Head On” (Jesus and Mary Chain cover; Live in Studio; 1991)
If memory serves, the legend goes that “Head On” was a song Pixies would play for rehearsals and warm-ups from the very early days.
Which, if true, makes the story behind the video even more fun:
By 1991, the Pixies refused to film music videos for their singles. After a long debate with their record company in the United States — Elektra Records — the band relented and agree to film a video, as long as the song was done completely live. Peter Lubin, the A&R representative of Elektra at the time, later explained the situation:
By completely live that means full band, vocals, cameras roll, video’s done by the end of two minutes and 13 seconds. One take, that’s it. So those became the ground rules, that was the only way you were going to get a Pixies video for ‘Head On’ or anything else.
