NEW SINGLE OUT NOW! Two brand new Secular XMAS songs that Mikey Erg & I accidentally wrote & recorded this week. connorratliffmikeyerg.bandcamp.com/album/i-listen…
"I Listen To The Holiday Radio"

This song was partly inspired by me binge-listening to 40 new XMAS albums in a row for @RollingStone. I love XMAS music but holiday radio stations need to work hard to mix it up & get creative with song selection. (The best of them do, obvsly.)
LYRICS for you to sing-along:
This is a XMAS song for right now.

It is a holiday greeting directed to our cowardly criminal president, @realDonaldTrump.

(We will update the lyrics as needed for next XMAS, by which time things may very well be DIFFERENT.)

Would love to get the # of followers for @GLucasTalkShow up to 1138 & somehow keep it at that number forever, even if it means randomly blocking people to maintain it. (Would that work? Or is there an easier way?)

Please help us reach 1138 in time for our next show on 1/11!
We broke 1000! 138 to go. Can we do this by 1/11?
OK, we are down to the final 89!

I really want to get @GLucasTalkShow to 1138 followers and keep it there forever.

I think we can do it!

R.I.P. Bob Einstein

This is probably my favorite scene in my favorite film of all time, Modern Romance. I remember the first time I saw it, realizing that it was Super Dave Osborne (whom I knew from his great deadpan talk show appearances) & later realizing he was AB's brother
Einstein had maybe the single best deadpan of any late night guest, better even than Grodin at his peak maybe! His bits were always great but my favorite parts were always when the audience would laugh and he would stop and glare at them, or at Dave.
It's just tremendous the way he times those reactions, feeding off Dave's timing and the energy of the audience...

Honestly, I think all the headlines about Holmes & Watson being the worst comedy of the year are going to end up making it a film that people discover later on & are pleasantly surprised that it isn't the worst movie they've ever seen. It is a C- comedy that is getting F- grades
I think all the articles about audiences walking out and it being so bad that even Netflix wouldn't save it give a false impression of it. I also think that critics are always angrier when a movie isn't screened (esp. if it means they all had to spend XMAS day watching it)
This is perhaps an uncool opinion but although the movie is a mixed bag and suffers in comparison to the previous to Ferrell/Reilly pairings, I don't get a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes feeling from this movie. (I guess it's up to 7% now, but still.)

I got a bunch of random junk in the mail over the last few days, so here's a pick-ups thread.
First, three vinyl stickers from @FozzTexx, thanks to the Portables Week contest over on /r/RetroBattlestations
Next, two acrylic floppy disks! They're from this storefront which only sells in Japan:
flipflop.booth.pm
but @DarkSoul4242 alerted me to them and kindly mailed me some (thanks!)
These are the light-up sort if you put them on an LED stand, which I'll be doing soon.
An MP3 Floppy Album!
This is Elsewhere by Elsewhere, a Second World Databases (@SecondWrld) release.

NEW: Here's what the fake Russian Instagram accounts pulled down yesterday looked like. thinkprogress.org/here-are-some-…
1. The fake Russian accounts spanned the political gamut—and targeted fans of people like the Kardashians, Stephen Colbert, Jordan Peterson, and Tomi Lahren. thinkprogress.org/here-are-some-…
2. The fake accounts were all publicly listed on a new site @thinkprogress broke yesterday, which was created by one of the Internet Research Agency-related companies mentioned in Robert Mueller's February indictment. thinkprogress.org/usaira-russian…
