TIL that the drummer for Slipknot is Max Weinberg’s son. Yes, the Max Weinberg from the E Street Band and the bandleader for Conan O’Brien. I don’t know much at all about Slipknot but this seemed like something I would have heard about before.
Monica Martin appears on James Blake's latest album and also appeared onstage with him last night. After singing a couple songs with him, she gracefully exited the stage and James confessed to the audience that her new single "Go Easy, Kid" is probably the best new song he's heard in the last five years. It's a slower ballad that's not super upbeat, but it's very pretty and she has a really nice voice.
My official ranking of the 16 varities of Oreos I tried on Sunday at the Oreo Potluck, from best to worst: Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, classic Oreo, Java Chip, Carrot Cake, Peanut Butter, Double Stuf, Golden Double Stuf, Mint, Caramel Coconut, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Marshmallow, Dark Chocolate, Birthday Cake, Chocolate Hazelnut, Team USA, Mega Stuf.
Is there an Oreo thread? There are so many varieties now. Does anyone have an Oreo ranking of their favorite kinds? Was discussing this with my friends and we’re having an Oreo potluck this weekend to get to the bottom of it.
Does anyone remember a commercial from years ago (late 90s maybe) about an anti-itch cream (lanacane, neosporin, etc. - something like that) where there’s a woman who warns repeatedly that “you could be scratching to infection”? Spent the past hour or so watching old commercials trying to track it down haha. The closest I’ve found so far was an add called Caldecort, but i’m pretty sure that’s not it.
Focusing on the fact that Nurkic his best game of the season last night. But I AM starting to seriously believe that we are cursed in some dark, ancient, mysterious way.
Today isn’t the first day that I’ve had a s’more pop tart, but it’s the first day that I’ve really appreciated how well they actually approximate the taste and texture of a s’more. The slightly burnt edges of the graham cracker. The marshmallow filling that actually has a marshmallow-y texture.
And you can eat them without building a fire and getting sticky marshmallow all over your hands and face.
Is anyone else watching the Decemberists' 20th anniversary streaming concerts? First show (of 3) is tonight! Haven't seen the full band live since the Bite of Oregon in 2005 in Waterfront Park. Really looking forward to this as they always seem to miss me when they tour.
Is anyone else doing the Joseph streaming shows? It was so fun tonight. I didn't realize the band members were in the group chat with us until like the third song haha.
