  And holy shit it is terrible. Unlistenable. Couldn’t make it to the end. And he has that stupid accent that came out of nowhere. He didn’t have that with Garfunkel. 

  
  

  Ugh. 

  
  

  Back to Bob James version there is that voice in the background. All I can make out is “rise and shine”. I wonder what that’s all about. 

  
  

  It reminds me of some thread a long time ago where somebody asked what the worst version of spinning wheel was and somebody else said “the original”.

  Cosmo is doing FB streamz as well.  Perhaps headz closer to man can get that FB reality in the current climate.
  
  One would hope Zuckerman und dem are keeping perspective in these challenging times vis-a-vis what tunes man can listen to when the f*cken plague is in town.
  
  I could be sorely mistaken, doe.

  Cosmo’s was great! Thanks for the recommend!

  Pet Detective (at the time) was great. Laces out!

  Does not hold up. So fucking annoying. I was like “we... as a society... found this funny?”

  There is a movie called "What Did Jack Do?" on netflix that popped up as a recommendation.  So I figured what the hell.  Watched it with the wife. It was only 17 minutes.  It's a David Lynch film so you already sort of know shit is gonna be weird going in.  We laughed.  Awkwardly a few times.  The next day I had to watch it again and this time I laughed more.  There is something about it.  It doesn't have "joke" jokes per se - I guess what makes it funny is that the dialog feels like an AI program was written to analyze a bunch of film noir detective interrogation scenes and then try to write one.  So it gets close to right... but not right... and get some awkward uncanny valley shit that makes you question what it even means to have human consciousness in the first place that computers can come close to mimicking it and yet so very very far away.  
  
  Anyways, it's only 17 minutes so check it out.
