Let me point you in the direction of Southern Rock Opera by the Drive-By Truckers, especially Ronnie and Neil and The Three Great Alabama Icons. Basically a response to the song and a consideration of the duality of the Southern Thing.

Just finished watching Safe, on Netflix, thinking all the way through that the detective (Amanda Abbington) was the woman from The IT Crowd (Katherine Parkinson).

They’re not. And having googled it, apparently I’m not the only person to have thought they look spookily similar.

Only recently got the long-running Simpsons gag, that Arnie Pie’s traffic report is called “Arnie in the Sky”.

Because the obvious name for a person called arnie pie presenting a feature in a helicopter would be pie in the sky

okkervil river had an album out in April

That Mick Jagger sings backing vocals on ‘You’re So Vain’.

Heard it hundreds of times before but on headphones it’s clearly audible.

I fucking love that song
