I just finished "The Residence".

What a great show.

"Larry. Yeah. Larry."

Nick Simms, Calligrapher

This show was the perfect mix between murder-mistery, comedy, drama, political satire, and even romance.

Narrator: Yep. The story between Elsyie, the maid, and Bruce, the engineer and involuntary plumber, got to him. Bad.

So what?!? Im not gonna apologize? Lines like

"He didn't try to reassure me. He didn't tell me I'd get there. He didn't lie to me. He didn't talk. He didn't do all of the annoying things that men do because they don't want you to just feel something. He just kinda...held my hand and rubbed my arm. It was the loveliest anybody has ever been to me in my life."

...you don't stumble upon on a daily basis... My overly romantic middle-aged brain has a soft spot there...sigh.

Anyway. Great show for all of the above reasons. Plus, the gay POTUS I've not even mentioned.

Narrator: Sigh. You just did. Spoiler.

Whatever. Hugh Jackman. Kylie Minogue.

Go. Watch. It.

If you're reading this and haven't already...

Retronaut Selects: Cornershop - When I Was Born For The Seventh Time (1997)

Finding out about Cornershop happened because of my dad talking about a video he remembered seeing on MTV years ago, but he couldn’t remember the exact artist or song, but he recalled everything about the video.

We had days of endless Google searches to try and figure out but we had no luck.

During one of our record store trips to Double Decker Records, we ran it past our friend, Chris.

He figured it out. The tune was “Brimful Of Asha” and the band was “Cornershop”. 

Soon after this, Chris surprised one day when we came to the store with a CD copy and we’ve listened to it countless times since we got it.

It is simply awesome.

Essential Tracks: Brimful Of Asha, Funky Days Are Back Again, Good Sh**
