Oh boy. So Sports Illustrated featured a plus sized model named Yumi Nu on the cover of their swimsuit issue. Everyone's favorite Kermit Thee Frog sounding Canadian self-help grifted Doctor Jordan B. Peterson had to open his big yapper about it: Things did not go well for him. I have not seen a public evisceration like this in a while. Ragequit!

Yeow. RIP to Vangelis, a man in need of exactly zero introduction. There's no way I could even begin to sum up his career, impact (or, ahem, collection of synthesizers) so I'm just gonna say this: When I did my Saturnine mix 2009, I included his song Ask The Mountain with Stina Nordenstam ‎on vocals:

I forget who said it, but someone in here mentioned they drive by the SmugMug HQ (the people who own Flickr) and that the bulding is a dump. Went on Google Maps and, uh, can confirm: https://goo.gl/maps/sYgVyvq8SHxQTSFH7

No one: That one guy at the festival:

@Torpedo If you were listening to the show where the power went out, that was a tribute to Klaush Schulze that ended prematurely thanks to National Grid. Test Tone @ Home live right now: https://mixlr.com/illuminator/

Putin to officially declare war on Ukraine, Western officials say. Well gee whiz.

Okay, this is kind of horrible but I can't keep it to myself. I presume all of Head Case knows about Ben Shaprio at this point. Some of you may even know that he's got a sister. She has her own YouTube presense and has, ahem, a couple notable characterisitcs of her own. #1 huge tracts of land and #2 the exact same mouth as her older brother. Naturally, the internet is fascinated with her, in all sorts of humorous and creepy ways. This screencap of one of her videos went viral last summer: TIL someone turned said screencap into one of those 3D mousepads usually reserved for anime waifus: This has been your moment of existential horror.

European political cartoon from 1982.

So last night's show got aborted 3/4 of the way in, due to the endless font of incompetence that is National Grid. For my entire lifetime, they managed to let the power die in a trangular shaped chunk of land where my house sits but not on any of the neighboring areas. Even when the power comes back on, often a tiny strip of land that includes where I live returns at a time later (sometimes measuring in days). I will say this, the absolutely giant ass service trucks that Nation Grid deploy are visually quite impressive. If I were a 4 year old (or, ahem, a nearly 50 year old with the emotional maturiy of a 4 year old) I'd be truly captivated by the sight of them. As it stands, my tribute to Klaus Schulze went to sheiss and I'm not sure what to do. I haven't uploaded the 3/4 fragment of the set. Schulze songs tend to run just a wee bit long, and I made it a point to include music by other artists with similarly long works. I can't exactly pick up where I left off next week. This was the entire setlist: The power died in the middle of Berlin Heritge.
