Grand Puba: “I Like It (I Wanna’ Be Where You Are)” (1995)
The last radio single I heard from Grand Puba which Hot 97 pushed heavily that summer. Some major sampling wins starting with Cal Tjader’s vibes from “Never My Love” (’68) and tons of vocal hat-tips taken from DeBarge, Michael and Jermaine Jackson, The Stylistics, Crash Crew, Rose Royce, Rudy Ray Moore, and Force M.D.’s. Sample enthusiasts can have a field day searching if one has nothing better to do today.

"And you are sure these are edible?"
"Ja. Well, sort of."
"What does 'sort of' mean, Caleb Widogast?"
Here is Shadowgast in the style of Scavengers Reign!
Yes, this is a transparent and blatant attempt to pspspsps my fellow fans of Critical Role into watching this series. The first season is airing now on Netflix as of May 31st. They picked it up after Max did not renew it for a second season, and will decide based on the reception now whether to continue - so I am hoping that lots of people discover the show and love it! The animation studio is Titmouse, who also produces The Legend of Vox Machina.
It's like a Miyazaki-esque Annihilation. Cosmic horror and cosmic wonder in equal and necessary parts. If you like the funky biology parts of Candela Obscura, give this a shot. There is horror. There is humanity. There is hope and connection. There are creatures of all shapes and sizes, including a wonderful amount of tiny idiots, which I have made many compilation posts about. It's a setting where you can envision David Attenborough peacefully narrating a nature documentary about it, but be horrified the same time. Just an absolutely incredible show.

THE LEGEND OF BRADY’S CREW AND THEIR CRASH WAGON
The crash landing we see John Brady’s crew conduct in Part 1 of Masters of the Air was not their first. On Christmas Eve of 1942, Brady’s crew took off on a training mission but crash landed in the snowy mountains of Evanston, Wyoming due to inclement weather and a lack of gas. No one was injured thanks to Brady’s skillful flying (and Harry Crosby’s Scottish descent, according to the young woman who found them).
Afterward, the crew received a brand new B-17F, serial number 42-30071. Though officially titled “SKIPPER”, the Fort had immediately been given a name: “BRADY’S CRASH WAGON” in homage to the legend of their training accident.
Their second crash landing, the one we see in the show, actually occurred at an Air Depot in Warton on the east coast due to the landing gear being frozen. Their belly-landing damaged their aircraft so they were forced to take a train to Diss and then a truck to Thorpe Abbotts.
42-30071 “BRADY’S CRASH WAGON” would be repaired and sent to the 96th Bomb Group. It was irreparably damaged in another belly-landing on April 18, 1944 and scrapped.

So I finally watched Jurassic Park: The Lost World, and, I shit you not, when I got to the part where the ship crashed into the dock my VERY FIRST THOUGHT was
“Oh, just like in Dracula!”
This webbed site has ruined me.

very scientific Argo 2 crew road trip seating arrangements:
Driving - Reyna. She’s the only one who a.) can drive and b.) can be trusted to drive. I’m pretty sure canonically the only other person on the Argo 2 with a drivers license is Percy.
Passenger’s seat - Frank. He’s helping navigate cause he’s the only person in the car who’s not adhd/dyslexic and also he needs the leg room cause he’s too tall.
Middle seats - Percy on passenger’s side and Piper on driver’s side window seats. Annabeth sitting in the middle. Annabeth’s helping navigate and the three of them are probably sharing snacks and napping on each other the entire ride. Piper also has easy access to mess with everyone sitting around her (Reyna, Annabeth, Jason, kind of also Leo).
Backseats - Jason on driver’s side, Hazel on passenger’s side, Leo in the middle. Leo gets too carsick to be in a window seat plus he’s the only person small enough to fit in that seat. Hazel is also probably a little motion sick and Jason’s mostly just making sure nobody in the back is dying. They’re all having A Time back there and occasionally passing snacks back to Nico and making sure he’s still alive every time the car goes over a bump.
Nico is in the trunk.
