Masked Singer anyone?  I’m totally invested now, watched the first show or of curiosity due it’s popularity in South Korea.  Have a good guess on one from the first show and now a couple from the second show.  And totally got the one unmarked in the second show.  May or may not done some Twitter research on my guesses.. Don’t think we’ll need a separate thread for this one :p

I watched the first one and wasn't that impressed…

Right now the judges/judging is the weak point of the show, they tend to be repetitive in their analysis and are way off in their guesses of who is behind the mask.  Kid Rock and JT are not going to be on this show.. Hopefully they will improve as the series goes on.  I’m getting the sense of which singers are going to be last standing which is going to keep my interest.  The Bee is one to watch for sure

I just thought it was peculiar. But if you're going to post highlights, how could you miss this: Touching, Rubbing, Stroking: Rehabilitation of the snare drum through queer erotics

It was a contender, but felt I had to pick three
Although that one does pair well with

today's google doodle is pretty darn cool


uses AI to generate music in the style of Johann Sebastian Bach
just add some notes and Voila!

The Doodle also includes some hidden surprises. Click the mini amplifier to the right of the keyboard to upgrade the instruments to ‘80s synths

well we don't have a comedy thread (we should) or I guess I could have put in the movie thread…

St. Vincent And Carrie Brownstein Are Making A Tour Comedy

Right now, St. Vincent is producing a new album for Brownstein’s band Sleater-Kinney. And now they’re making a movie together, too.

Collider reports that Clark and Brownstein have co-written a concert film together. In the movie, which doesn’t yet have a title, Clark and Brownstein will play “heightened versions of themselves.” Brownstein is co-producing the movie with Jett Steiger and Lana Kim, and Bill Benz, a director and editor who’s worked on Portlandia is set to direct. According to an unnamed source at the studio, “the project isn’t a ‘mockumentary,’ as Collider first reported, but rather, a scripted film that was to have been shot like a documentary.” That sounds like a mockumentary!
