Here’s a secret.

Whenever anyone mentions The Decemberists in any way, my mind immediately processes it as Ben Folds Five and Army.

And I have to go listen to Army in any way possible. It’s worse than Come Sail Away.

Segata Sanshiro (or played out, “Sega-ta-Saturn-shiro") is a character developed to sell the now-dead Sega Saturn system.

He’s portrayed by Hiroshi Fujioka, who’s essentially Japanese cultural gold due to being Kamen Rider 1.

It culminates in his own theme song:

 The solitary man who devoted his soul to the way of games
   Today, he comes again
   He will punish those who do not play seriously
   Their battered bodies will never forget!

   [chorus] Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

   They play tennis, sing karaoke, flirt around in clubs...
   Are there not more serious tasks to be done?
   Those who cannot have fun outside of groups
   He questions them deep inside their hearts

   Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

   (voice of Segata)
   Youngsters... is there something in your life you are completely devoted to? Something you sink into so deeply you put your life on the line? You must play Sega Saturn! Play... until your fingers break! Until your fingers break!

   Even if they chase after sex, that petty pleasure
   They're only spending years of emptiness
   Those who do not immerse themselves to the extreme in gaming
   He will tear them apart!

   Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

   The white clouds floating on the great blue sky
   And the boiling red bloodshed in fierce gaming
   Those who give up halfway through
   Their battered bodies will never forget!

   Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!
   Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

DISMEMBERMENT PLAN - The Ice of Boston

“Gladys i love you but-OH get a life!”

dark, depressing truth time:

-I once did “The Ice of Boston" on an extremely depressing New Year’s Eve when I was alone and in New Jersey.

That makes it more depressing.

Moral learned: even if you’re fully clothed, pouring cheap champagne on yourself in FREEZING WEATHER WILL GIVE YOU A COLD.
