M NIGHT SHYAMALAN und Taylor Swift meets Schweigen der Lämmer:

„Trap“, der jüngste Thriller des „The Sixth Sense“-Regisseurs M Night Shyamalan, ist eine Serienmörder-Jagd während eines großen Pop-Konzerts.
Folgerichtig war der ursprüngliche Pitch, mit dem die Finanzierung des Films sichergestellt wurde:

„What if „Das Schweigen der Lämmer“ happened at a Taylor Swift concert?“

GRIMES und die Raumfahrt:

GENAU SO stell ich mir die Abendbrot-Unterhaltungen zwischen Grimes und Elon Musk vor:

„I think the democrats would have a lot more luck w certain demographics if they took the space program more seriously and had less strict rules with launches and the FAA. Taking any of the glory and dreams out of the equation, if we don’t focus on mars/ moon/ space colonization – it’s p easy for a foreign power to secure control over low earth orbit and destroy any enemy launch who tries to compete or poss even easily assassinate targets with regular projectiles like, I’m not an expert on this by any means but l assume that’s not gna trigger any kind of mutually assured destruction? It seems murky at least, unless I’m missing smthn. Like it seems like anyone can just take over the world p easily if we hobble the space program
This is entirely conjecture based on conversations but, is this true or not? I could be wrong“

JULIAN CASABLANCAS der Strokes ist auch ein Grummelbärchen vor dem Herrn:

The best song to play at a party
I prefer to kill the dancefloor with my musical taste – with some bad intense classical music or a funeral march that makes you feels like you’re living in an artsy movie film. But 70s Ethiopian music is a current trend that I think makes everyone happy. You could be in an underground basement or Urban Outfitters and hear Tew Limed Gelaye by Mahmoud Ahmed, which I think would go down well at a party.

The best song to have sex to
German techno.

The song I can no longer listen to
Last Nite by the Strokes is pretty dead to me. I’m not sure why. There are some others like Reptilia, Hard to Explain, Someday, Take It Or Leave it, New York City Cops that are comparable in terms of crowd reaction that I’m not quite as sick of. If I heard it on the radio, I’d probably turn it off.

KAREN CARPENTER und der Playboy:

als ich Karen Carpenters Karriere recherchiert habe, bin ich darüber gestolpert, dass der Playboy in den 70ern jährliche Wahlen zum besten Schlagzeuger der Welt hatte. WTF?

„She appeared in the drummer rankings of every Playboy annual music poll from 1974 to 1980; Playboy’s readers voted her as high as tenth best drummer in 1975 and tenth best pop/rock drummer 1976.“
