💬 Topics & Tangents:  

“Box Car Blues” (1930).  

Santa’s Death Fortress sure looks like Elsa’s ice palace.  

Coolio’s final acting role before his death was a return as the voice of Kwanzaa-bot.  

An ode to Musicmatch Jukebox and our turn-of-the-century mp3 albums we’re still holding onto.  

My favorite joke in all of “Futurama.”  

“I’m Spartacus!”
