Surprisingly good running songs (an ongoing series):
Incredible sweat-soaked cover of Fela Kuti’s all-timer; vocals by Fela’s son Seun. YouTube recommends this song to me pretty much daily. It knows.

Kamasi Washington’s jazz version of “Claire de Lune” is absolutely wrecking me today.

Totally. A good chunk of the final race music samples this Pilhofer composition: youtu.be/cI6pWhvFYvs?...
(At one point I made a super-lofi bootleg of the score just for myself that minimizes the dialogue and sound effects. Listen to it on runs all the time. [Nerd.])
Agreed, and you might enjoy a thing I just wrote on that very movie:

Here's an essay years in the making:
In 2019 I decided to run the Dipsea Race because of a movie I saw in 1986. The race got pandemic-delayed. So I started interviewing the people who made the movie — Bruce Dern, Pam Grier, and many others.
The result:

As the Shane Black fan who commissioned this bit of handcrafted glory, please believe me when I tell you @briannaduggan.bsky.social
Is the goods and hiring her to make things is the smartest move imaginable
Proper advice from the great @lubellwoo.bsky.social ….

Pencils down on a longform essay I've been researching off and on for the past six years. Started as a pandemic hobby, ended with me on the phone with Bruce Dern for three-and-a-half hours. Whoops! Now in edits. More at some point.

This man may be making the agonized expression of someone who bet his entire 401k on the fight's outcome.

"If you go on there and manage to stick it out for a month or two, you will get 100,000 Instagram followers, and then you can spend the rest of your life doing sponsored content and making paid appearances at nightclubs on the Gold Coast."

“I’ve realized that feeling … is the multi-billion-dollar business that these companies know they’re building. It’s not fascist anime art or excel spreadsheet automation, it’s preying on the lonely and vulnerable for a monthly fee.”

Surprisingly good running songs (an ongoing series):
Heard this in a bar not long ago and proceeded to listen to it on a loop for an embarrassing amount of time.
The groove is smooth and impeccable and rolls like a good run. Satisfy should set a vibes video to this.

All clown emoji (emojis?) aside, this is really really really really really bad.

This scene from THE WIZ scared the ever-loving crap out of me as a child. Those growing puppets were RETURN TO OZ-Wheelie-level terrifying!
I hope Criterion (which apparently just announced a WIZ disc) devotes an entire extra to its psychological scarring.

Aw man, I love CROSSING DELANCEY and had no idea there was a Criterion edition (a delightful ‘80s rom-com with Peter Riegert and Amy Irving if you’ve never checked it out): youtu.be/CgaVmNJscms?...
