Show of hands, how many people just Googled “wombat rectums”?
Just me, really? Well, let me tell you about the cubic droppings of the wombat. They are unique in the natural world. Apparently a wombat can keep their solid waste inside for days. The compaction leads to to square droppings. However, they can leave upwards of hundreds of droppings a day. They use it to mark their territory. Not unlike the dodecahedrons of the DnD crowd. You’re welcome.
I was expecting to find Thriller and/or Purple Rain in the top 10 of that Pitchfork list. I was even expecting It Takes A Nation Of Millions… and Straight Outta’ Compton in the top 10 as the token bi-coastal rap selections. And I sure as shit was expecting something by Sonic Youth (Daydream Nation is as lazy a choice as it gets) in the top 10. But, Sade and Kate Bush instead of Madonna‽ It’s what the interrobang was invented for.
Oh good. I’ve been wondering what Sheila and Tiresias were up to.
