I found these videos today. Do not watch with mouth full.


Greenland Defense Front - The Hungry Giant (Official Music Video)

I love the hell out of this and wish any of that imagery would appear on a T-shirt. It is right up there with Der Fuhrer's Face.



Democratic Penguins Republic - Space Program (Official Music Video)

Here's a fantastic filk song.

This one is also pretty good.

This poem came out of the October 7, 2025 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from wyld_dandelyon. It also fills the "Alone in the Woods" square in my 10-1-25 card for the Fall Festival Bingo. This poem has been sponsored by a pool with fuzzyred. It belongs to the series Practical Magics and follows "Maybe She's Just Singing."

Thanks to sponsorship from gothfvck, you  can now read my poem "The Sound of Celebration" over on tfc_musicianships.

Famous filker Leslie Fish has passed away. She wrote many of the greatest filk songs.

So, screw the moment of silence because we all know the Great Con in the Sky is bellowing "Banned from Argo." I got to hear her sing that one once, and it was glorious. But I think "Hope Eyrie" is more apt. Another timely one is "Freedom of the Snow," which I used to belt out when walking across campus after an evening class. Frat rats crossed the street to get away from me. \o/

Here's a good description of Leslie's impact on filk.

Today we went to the Marshall Farmer's Market. It's an evening market from 6-8 PM, followed by a band concert, which is way better than a morning one.
