To a beautiful beach on Nantucket
A Musk fan planned to Cybertruck it
He drove onto the strand
And got stuck in the sand
So the owner was forced to say fuck it

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio

For what it’s worth that’s my alma mater and so strange to see the echoed actions of some school administrations this year.

I really regretted not being able to do my radio show last night.  I'd 100% have ended it with CSNY's "Ohio"

I was 9. I do remember it, though I didn't fully understand it at the time.

I downloaded this video off some site (I think a server from the college where it was filmed) in the 00s (when downloading an entire video was a novel idea.)  I moved it from HDD to HDD, machine to machine for the rest of the decade.  Sometime around 2010, I uploaded it to YouTube, but kept it unlisted.  Today, I rummaged for it (YT's interface is legendarily bad) and made it public:

I hope the copyright trolls leave me alone.  It's a pretty fascinating watch if one cares about music production at all.  RIP, Steve.

Eurovision is delivering this year.

That Finnish entry was wonderfully outrageous!

Oddly un-Finnish. I've worked with the often dour Finns and visited the country on business many times (once when it was a ridiculous -40C or F). One guy that was on a project I was running sounded particularly miserable all the time. I said "Are all Finns as miserable as you Mikko?" he replied, slowly and miserably "Oh - I'm known as the cheerful one"

It is also high on the gun crime and gun suicide rankings. 18% of suicides and 15% of homicides. The country only has 5.5 million inhabitants. Per 100,000 it is second after the USA.

Reminds me of the joke:

Q: How do you recognize an extrovert Swede? 

A: He's the one looking at your shoes.

This is so singularly Eurovision I struggle for words.  The absolute dumpster fire eurobeat track itself, the censorship of the windows logo, the man inexplicably hatching out of a jort egg, the second singer wearing a denim swatch capecoat, the sense that this is probably performed bottomless when not on TV, all of it.

It's good to see Weird Al is still doing his thing, but I'm curious to see the original.
