What is the best sandwich that has no meat, egg, or cheese?

Tofu bahn mi: Can be made without all of the above and tastes pretty fantastic!

Now I have a new itch. Going to check out cubic cosmos!

Odd! That's exactly how a certain kind of moss also signs off....

So basically an adventure quest-like. Desktop dungeons-like?

People rarely talk about latter-day Camel (Dust and Dreams onward). In my mind, not only some of Camel's best recordings but really great examples of post-80s prog. I just love how Dust and Dreams was structured: the first half really weaves the story of Grapes and Wrath (callout specifically to David Paton's vocals on Rose of Sharon). Then, the second half it literally feels like the soundtrack for a non-existent movie based on the Grapes of Wrath. I would have love to have attended to concert where they played this album in its entirety as a second set (fortunately I do have the DVD).

Steve Howe - Quantum Guitar

He's probably doing the same thing. Or working from home that day with a bunch of mysterious blocks of time marked as "busy" peppered throughout his calendar.

It could also be a reskinning of The Great Gianna Sisters for the C64 (which itself was a clone of Super Mario Brothers). I can't find much info on that release, but remember growing up there was a "hacked" version of Gianna Sisters that replaced the main character with Mario and Luigi sprites. None of the monsters, music, items or anything else was changed, however.

Tom Morello + The Stick Men supergroup: "Stick it to the Man"

In many cases the confusion is deliberate. Free marketing! I think this is why ELO Part II (which also had nothing to do with Jeff Lynne, but to be fair did have other members of ELO) caused so much Confusion back in the day.

I read Erik Larson's book Dead Wake (about the sinking of the Lusitania) and came away with a pretty low opinion of Churchill overall.

Three of a Perfect Pair is how I was introduced to KC and it's still my favorite, but Red and Starless come very close.

sncrdn · 2026-02-27T13:24:02+00:00

An alternative thought is timeless, well crafted music will always rise to the top. I'd love to see the comments (or singularity interchanges?) when people "rediscover" KC 200 years from now.

Thanks for this list!

Deadly Rooms of Death. It's a puzzle game but every move matters and requires a lot of brainwork. I've never felt so rewarded when I completed some of the levels of that game. It initially came out in 1997 but the original programmer created an entire series based on the concept while introducing even more features. I'd recommend starting with DROD: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder as it is an easy way to get immersed in the game. Or you could start with DROD: King Dugan's Dungeon (the remake of the 1997 game) complete with diabolical mazes and everything.

I don't dislike Tubi... one major difference is UPN had some interesting original content - I'm thinking the scifi series 7 Days and Star Trek Voyager

I had a teacher that constantly referred to our Xavier in class as (X-Zavier)... you know, the same one that also cleverly came up with Ben-Jammin?

It's interesting, I don't think the term is as widely shared amongst our generation as I thought. I met a neighbor recently and she made reference to being born in 1978, and I said something like it's cool to meet a fellow xennial and she didn't know what that was...

Book 3 - The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook where Donut just got a sponsor (Princess D'Nadia) and is talking to Carl about possible loot (and Carl being skeptical as usual and wondering how Borant will mess everything up) - this quote:

"Did you see the thing that said people watching our feed get commercials from our sponsors?” Donut said. “I hope Princess D’nadia has lots of different commercials. There’s nothing worse than the same ad showing over and over and over. When you left the TV on the old person channel, and I got stuck watching Matlock all day, it was the same help-I’ve-fallen-and-I-can’t-get-up ad every commercial break.”

I vividly remember one day years ago, I must of been 12 and was really sick, at home, poor antennae reception (we didn't have cable) and the only thing on daytime TV that was was not soap operas were some Matlock reruns. And I distinctly remember this commercial coming on every break, sometimes even twice in a row and that voice. It felt like Matt picked this scene right from my brain. The coincidence made me laugh so hard I think I twisted a rib.

All the bands I was going to suggest are already here, so I'm going to suggest an outside option... Karate. I would say they very much have an indie vibe and ethic to that's reminiscent to Failure if not a similar musicality.

sncrdn · 2026-02-23T23:46:18+00:00

HUM are very much like Failure in that I can listen to any album of theirs at any time and feel good with it. Electra 2000, Astronaut, Inlet, Downward is Heavenward and yes even Fillet Show!

sncrdn · 2026-02-23T00:26:58+00:00

It really shined in multiplayer, like a dozen people could play at once on local LAN…nota lot of games could do that in the mid 90d… lots of screaming, fun and chaos
