@yewknee I think whoomp is probs the correct answer, but I’m sure we all agree that weakest link burned incredibly hot.

Let's just dive into some distractions.
- Sizzler Promotional Commercial 1991 - watch the entire 4:41 seconds of this. A book's worth of investigations and questions will swirl around you. How is American Freedom and Revolution related to a buffet? Did they shoot all of this? Why is that one couple making out so hard in a Sizzler? Mysteries of the universe. HT to Baldwin for this one.
- Old Country Buffet Conversation Starters - staying on theme, this edit of a training video is Perfect Cringe.
- Wendy's Chili - okay, so there's a whole YouTube of Training Videos (of course there is) and this Wendy's Chili Song is FIRE.
- Marc Rebillet - Girl's Club - I am new to the world of Marc Rebillet. I was skeptical I would enjoy but I'll be damned if it isn't hilarious.
- Megan the Stallion - Savage - I know nothing about Megan the Stallion but this performance is phenomenal for a myriad of reasons; the song, the message and the insane projections. Worth your time.
- It Is Thursday, My Dudes - a new meme enters the arena.
- What is Spoopy? - a friend asked me recently "what is Spoopy?" - I was more than happy to have this classic ready to deliver.
- Dental School Robot (with sound) - truly the most disturbing creation I've seen this week.
- The Fly of Prophecy - let it be true.

Unsurprisingly, it's a wonderfully eclectic mix of late 90's indie underground, 80's new wave & post punk and a few surprising recent influences (don't sleep on Woolen Men!).
Enjoy and then follow the band and snag that LP.

The Technocrat
posted October 7, 2020 #
Today, Coupler debuted a new video for "The Technocrat" off of their EP, The Rhythm Method. The folks at I Heart Noise had these kind words to say:
For me, personally, the video (directed by Ben Marcantel) harkens back to vintage videogames. It's a series of still images - you can hardly even say it has anything resembling "Frames Per Second" - but it tells a story of intrigue, car chases and even a little gunplay. A dash of imagination is necessary to fill in the gaps but it reminds me of nights plucking away at a Tandy-1000. It's not an exact 1:1 of that experience but there's enough of a nostalgia twinge to be pleasant.
It's a great song and probably among the most upbeat the band has ever been. Nice to hear them stretch out into these kinds of territories.
“The Technocrat” – its danceable, very groovy and yet it so much darker than your average dancefloor filler that it could easily appeal to someone into Suicide (as well as early Cure or Sisters of Mercy).It's a nice debut for the track and I'm thankful for the insights they provided. All too often when a video "premieres" somewhere, the blog will literally copy paste the press release and call it a day.
