It’s never the wrong time for a Blu DeTiger video.
Some of my favorite bass awesomeness from her; the run that starts around 2:36 is particularly brilliant.
Video
Wave All the Meat
“ Today, there is already preliminary information that the Russians have begun to use soldiers from North Korea in assaults – a significant number. The Russians are including them in consolidated units and using them in operations in the Kursk region. So far, only there. But we… https://t.co/imqQfHuscF

Open-field disorganized assault with no vehicular support. Alrighty then. What a colossal waste of people and purpose.
Blu DeTiger Bass Cover – PONY by Ginuwine
Good lord. She’s so good it should be illegal.
Blu DeTiger – Mad Love
Such a fun song.
Haywire
I love this fight scene; one of the more realistic ever put to film. She’s absolutely getting trounced by a guy twice as big and strong as she is (and who is equally well-trained) until she gets some help and then gets the upper hand.
That’s from Soderbergh’s Haywire — an underrated film that is endlessly entertaining.
Noch Nicht Fertig
I think Steven Spielberg’s best movie is Munich. Just such a tense nasty little beast.
I’m not sure how to put this exactly without sounding dismissive as I think Spielberg is a great director, but Munich is his only film that feels fully adult.
That scene really speaks to how closely delusion and aspiration dwell together in the human heart. The entire film is just as good.
Six Foot Blonde – Perpendicular Universe
Good song. When I found this band a while ago, at first I wondered why they were named “Six Foot Blonde.” And then I realized they indeed do have a six foot blonde, and all made sense.
Charly Bliss – “Capacity” Live
Good performance, but it makes me angry that they gave her a shitty lavalier mic. Just no. Why do that? Love her facial expressions, though.
Bebe Stockwell – Minor Inconveniences
Not a real music video, but good song.
Brian Thompson Funeral
Below is real footage from the UHC CEO’s funeral after they had to replace the pallbearers with out-of-network ones.
Ghost Bones – Eternity Forever
Unlike most songs, this one grew on me as I listened to it more.
CLW – 9608
This is a good song, but it’d really shine with a better (or any) producer. The instruments need more separation and better mixing. The vocals are too muted and the percussion is too far back and too static. But they have a lot of talent so it is still quality shoegaze.
Jaguar Jonze – TESSELLATIONS
I like the song and enjoy the colors in the video, but it should’ve had more ideas. It’s too aimless. But the color is nice.
spill tab – PINK LEMONADE
Fun and funny.
Tonality
This show was not completely successful, but I love this scene at least partially because it and the show itself feels really tonally different from all the other shows recently which seem so monotonous and ultra-pasteurized.
And here’s the same clip by someone who didn’t understand the “terrible” dialogue was intentional; this is two people interacting who are socially inept, stunted, having had very few normal interactions and both living in repressed, horrible societies. The woman is the extrovert side of that and the guy is the introvert. They have zero social skills and very little experience with anyone different from them. That’s the whole point of the scene — that is, them learning how to interact despite their chasm of inexperience and social cluelessness.
It’s fascinating how many people can watch something and just not understand it at all. Like, not in the least.
