If you’ve never had a beef quesanada or a steak empadilla you not eating right

[Black @BlackLilith_25]

I am the stone that the builder refused
I am the visual, the inspiration
That made Lady sing the blues I'm the spark that makes your idea bright
The same spark that lights the dark
So that you can know your left from your right I am the ballot in your box, the bullet in the gun
The inner glow that lets you know to call your brother son
The story that just begun, the promise of what's to come
And I'ma remain a soldier 'til the war is won

In 1999, Toei handed a 31-year-old animator a 20-minute Digimon short. He shot it like an art film: brutalist Tokyo apartment blocks, Ravel's Bolero, almost no dialogue. Studio Ghibli saw it and hired him to direct Howl's Moving Castle.

Then they pushed him out.

The animator was Mamoru Hosoda. His follow-up short, Our War Game, impressed Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki so much that in September 2001 the studio announced Hosoda would direct Howl, targeting summer 2003.

The condition killed it. Hosoda said he was told to make the movie the way Miyazaki would have made it. He wanted to make his own film. By summer 2002 he was out, and Miyazaki came back from retirement to direct it himself. Howl grossed $235 million.

Hosoda went back to work-for-hire anime. Then in 2006 he made The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and critics immediately started calling him the new Miyazaki. The exact thing Ghibli fired him for refusing to fake, he became by doing the opposite.

He remade Our War Game as Summer Wars in 2009. Founded his own studio in 2011. And in 2018, Mirai became the first anime feature from outside Studio Ghibli ever nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar.

The job he lost grossed $235 million for someone else. The rejection made him the only director in the conversation for Miyazaki's actual title.

That's why a Digimon clip from 1999 looks like this. The kids' cartoon was the only place they let him be an auteur.

A woman mailed Michael Jackson a gun, her photo, and a letter telling him to kill himself at a specific time. The song he wrote about her is sitting at #1 on Spotify right now, 43 years later.

It started in 1981. She began sending Michael letters claiming he was the father of one of her twins. He had never met her, so he ignored the whole thing. The letters kept coming anyway. Then one day, a package showed up. Inside was her photograph, a gun, and a note instructing him to kill himself at a particular date and time. She planned to kill “their” baby afterward, so they could be together in the next life. The Jacksons later found out she had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital. That is where the line “the kid is not my son” came from.

The bass line you hear in the first eight seconds is one of the most famous in pop history. They almost didn’t find it. The bassist Quincy hired, a guy named Louis Johnson, walked into the studio carrying every bass guitar he owned. Michael made him play the same line on each one until they settled on a Yamaha. Then they layered a synthesizer playing the exact same notes on top, which is why the bass has that thick, almost glowing sound.

The drum sound took even more obsession. Quincy Jones told his engineer Bruce Swedien he wanted a sound so distinct you’d know the song from the first three drum hits. So Bruce actually built a wooden platform for the entire drum kit. He put a flat piece of wood between the snare drum and the hi-hat cymbal to keep them from interfering with each other. He also built a custom cover for the kick drum, with a small slot for the microphone. Michael had programmed the beat on a drum machine when he wrote the demo at home. When it came time to record the album, drummer Ndugu Chancler walked in and played the same pattern on a real kit. He nailed it in three takes.

Then came the vocal. Michael sang the entire main vocal in one continuous take. For the extra harmonies and adlibs on top, Quincy made him sing through a six-foot cardboard tube rigged up in the booth. Michael was also getting vocal training every single morning while they were making the album.

The song hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1983 and stayed there for seven weeks. Yesterday it hit #1 on Spotify Global with 6.02 million streams in a single day, the highest the song has ever climbed on the platform.
