Personally, I really like Mother Mother's synthy album, "Very Good Bad Thing". It's a huge departure in sound from their previous stuff, but it works surprisingly well. Just check out this bop!

If years of Behind The Bastards has taught me anything, it's that grifters are the larval form of dictators. I used to consider them basically unrelated evils, but the past decade has really clearly illustrated to me that dictatorship is just a really big grift.

Of the crop of great RPGs that released around 1991, my favorite is Phantasy Star IV. Crazy ahead of its time in terms of gameplay, graphics, sound, story, everything. Phantasy Star has been out of things so long, it's easy to forget they were once up there with Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.

"I am a fist amidst the hands," is such a perfect encapsulation of teenage Elli. Very relatable to who I used to be.

I've never been convinced entirely of the idea of a "B Side" as a concept. A lot of my favorite albums actually get better toward their back half. A lot of concept albums put their climax two or three tracks from the end, for one thing.

Making dinner, grooving to music, dancing with my kids, completely in my element. Feeling very grateful right now.

I think every single dinner I know how to make starts with dicing an onion. I probably have more practice dicing onions than I do at any other cooking task.

My son is watching WarioWare videos, and personally I think it's inspiring that Wario has managed to make such an eclectic bunch of cool, attractive friends despite being a nasty troglodyte of questionable moral character. If he found his people despite all that, maybe we all can.

Don't remember when I started using panko breadcrumbs in meatloaf, but it's a great hack. The texture is so much nicer than standard breadcrumbs.

I dunno why, but I like my showers scalding hot and my drinks freezing cold. Like, to the point that they hurt. I've mastered putting drinks in the freezer until they're just about to turn into slush. Anybody else?

I started showering in the dark by candle light and it's been a complete game changer. I no longer find shower time so dysphoric, and it's less of a sense of complete sensory overload.

I'm all over the place in time and genre, here. This spans a lot of stuff I played from childhood through college. It's amazing to me how much video games evolved in that time.
Also shout out to Klonoa, which makes a huge impression despite being two hours long and very easy. Just a joy of a game.

Hyperfixating on the part of this song where he just lists names rapid-fire. Listening to it over and over, singing along, pacing around my kitchen. Just magical.

Love the verses on this song. I find the chorus supremely irritating, but I do have to admit it's very catchy. I'm surprised this didn't catch on.

This initially unreleased song is probably best known for being reworked into the Ice Cap Zone theme in Sonic 3, but the original song is a complete bop, too! Check it out!

Based on streaming numbers, I'm willing to call this the most underrated Mother Mother track ever. It's one of the standout tracks on "Inside", but it barely has half a million views. Won't you jam out to it with me?

Now that school is back in session it feels weird taking walks by myself. I got so used to having my little buddies tagging along with me all summer. I have to get used to solitude again.

I don't see the point of rereleasing an 8 bit RPG but sanding off all the jank and difficulty. Like, congratulations, you've managed to make a version of the original Final Fantasy that's eight hours long and completely unengaging, where you hold down the auto-attack button and win every fight.

Vacation is crazy because I'll do a five mile nature hike followed by four and a half hours of swimming, taking care of small children the entire time, and I still won't be tired. Meanwhile at home just getting through a load of dishes and a walk to the corner store feels insurmountable.

Right-wing religious extremists are always like, "that temptress overwhelmed me with her sexy feminine wiles!" but they're talking about their secretary who isn't allowed to wear jeweley or makeup and wears a floor-length, long-sleeved turtleneck dress to work every day...
