@norwegianesc @fan_eurovision The whole world will. Norway has become the people’s team.

Everyone in the US has Norwegian Wood right now (if you don’t get that, it’s both a dumb Beatles joke and a dumb dick joke).

@the_mical HAALAH!

Erling Haaland (my favorite person in the world at the moment) looks like if Shrek and the drummer from Red Hot Chili Peppers had an albino baby

Never saw this before. It’s great!

I always figured Barrett-era Floyd was an influence on MGMT, especially their killer 2nd album Congratulations.

Roger Waters later took Pink Floyd to unimaginable heights - but even if they’d broken up after Syd left they’d still be legends.

[Stereogum @stereogum]

Remembering Syd Barrett, who passed away 20 years ago today…

Here are MGMT covering "Lucifer Sam" during Pink Floyd Week on 'Late Night' in 2011.

"They were excited about that because none of the other artists was representing that era," Andrew VanWyngarden later told Stereogum. "We dressed like crab fishermen, and then Bradford Cox was dressed as Joey Ramone playing an Akai quarter-inch tape reel machine that we had found on the street. It was actually the one that's all over 'Oracular Spectacular.'"

@craigsuperstar Mbappe may find himself the victim of a mysterious baguette bashing before the final

Norway cloned an insane Viking warrior to play on their team and now they're gonna win the World Cup

こんなやつにどうやって勝つんだよwww

[Eli Braden @EliBraden]

@ASvanevik Yeah I made this switch as soon as I found out Trump got involved with the red card. That’s not the way to win in sports.

Go Norway 🇳🇴

Tenacious Dio. Awesome.

The Tenacious D movie isn’t perfect but the first 10 minutes are genius. I love this behind the scenes moment of the late Ronnie James Dio recording his part for the epic opening song.

[Guitar Gods Unleashed @gguworld]

Dio walks into a studio at 63 and sings one verse for the movie The Pick of Destiny.

A man physically collapses. That's not comedy. That's Dio.

I watch this at least once a week and it’s usually the highlight of my day

If I ever wanted to introduce someone to Slayer I’d probably show them this

[Eli Braden @EliBraden]

Madonna got big just as I reached the age where music became my obsession (which hasn’t changed).

And as cheesy and annoying as she can be, I’ve loved her ever since.

As a lifelong fan, I think her apex is 2000-2008: Music, American Life, Confessions, Hard Candy, with Confessions being her peak.

Now we get a sequel. A crass, cynical attempt to stay relevant by referencing a past glory? Sure.

But MUCH better than I expected.

There’s no “Hung Up,” but her continued willingness to be honest about the darkest sides of herself in her lyrics makes these songs far more interesting than 99% of the music made by people young enough to be her grandkids.

[Eli Braden @EliBraden]

@JukeBoxNonStop Not my favorite version/mix of this wonderful song but WOW this video is great. Don’t think I’ve seen it before. Has to be Anton Corbijn (spelling?), right? If so one of his best.

Is it weird that Mbappe was born about a year after the Hanson song came out?

[Eli Braden @EliBraden]

@Dr_JKarswell @XMartinsMusicX Amen brother. How did that not make the album?

[Eli Braden @EliBraden]

@OTROTDPhD It’s actually the Beatles or the Smiths. But yeah DM is up there in the top 5 with Led Zep and Joy Division / New Order (they’re the same band in my book).

[Eli Braden @EliBraden]

@the_mical @hamptonism Like, groovy!

[Eli Braden @EliBraden]

@scott_bowser Looks cool!
