Bond Villain Islands, So Many Blues, & Explaining the Sleep Jerk

OCEAN BLUES:

UNEXPECTED. UNWELCOME. UNFATHOMABLE. In the midst of a ho-hum day at work, the news arrives via texts, message alerts and Facebook posts. This can’t be. This shouldn’t be. But it is. 2016 is rushing headlong into notoriety for taking some of the music world’s most iconic artists. It sucks.

In the late 70’s and early 80’s, if you lived in the city, Prince embodied the gritty multi-culti reality that surrounded you. If you lived in the fly-overs, Prince represented the possibilities of a life quite different from that which you experienced on a daily basis. He was electrifying and unafraid. He was an artist and a showman. And he was one of the best guitarists that ever lived.

This was Prince in his first National TV appearance. And this is the man on the biggest stage he ever played.

THE FREE MARKET IN ACTION: First, these guys were all like “woot!” and then the interwebs, which led immediately to “sad trombone”.

MEANWHILE…not so much. A Dossier update with predictable results. Then there’s this.

IT PAYS TO ENRICH YOUR WORD POWER: To this day I still struggle with numbers three, six and nine. Which is not to say anything at all about my brain parts.

DR. WHOA! The perfect Bond villain lair. 

HISTORY’S DOPPLEGANGERS:

SCIENCE! Seriously. The stuff that the smart people are making possible these days makes me feel even worse about my place in the world. Hooray!

LOSING: This would beg the question, who schools the academics? Because if their is one thing most users of the interwebs knows: it never forgets.

HEADS UP! Time for you windows users to dump Quicktime.

DON’T LOOK NOW…but Yeezy has stepped in it, on it, and through it.

OCEAN BLUES:

THE MORE I READ ABOUT THE OLYMPIC GAMES…the more I question why they continue.

THE FREE MARKET IN ACTION PART 2: Without diving into the merits of a fossil-fuel economy, this is pretty much good news for those of us who drive.

BIG BOYS AND THEIR TOYS: And the people who pay for it. 

SCIENCE! Most of us already knew this but now we know why. Fat bottom girls are still in demand this evening.

RESPECT:

You can see the video over here. Editor’s Note: I just cannot begin to comprehend how this is actually real. But it appears to be, in fact, real? Word is the car was going “just” 60mph (surely enough to slice his legs off if he was late, or decapitate him if he was early.) Also, this guy was also Daniel Craig’s stunt double in Skyfall.

ECONOMICS FOR DUMMIES: Inflation 101 courtesy of a bunch of Canadian wisenheimers.

THE MAN SPEAKS: George Clooney sat down with Esquire.

UNSATISFACTORY: Now that I know the why’s and how’s, nothing has changed. It still freaks me out.

OH NOOOOOOOOES! Wrap it up fellas. Because micro-beasties will find a way.

OCEAN BLUES:

THE MORE YOU KNOW: The stranger than fiction story of the first filmed kiss.

MEANWHILE…in China, shit just got real.

TOTALLY MAKES SENSE…that America’s most notorious state has a dragon invasion.

HISTORY REPEATS: Yes, we have been here before.

INCOMING!

Meanwhile, in Tokyo.
