Outlaw Star is interesting show for many of its unique ideas: Chinese-Japanese Science-Fantasy, hyper-kinetic animation, spaceships with arms, magic space wizards, a cat... Outlaw Star is and was a very lively topic. The end credits are Outlaw Star's greatest mystery though. Unlike the show, the end credits are subdued, monochromatic, and almost melancholic. There is a vast gap between the aesthetics of the show itself and the almost Romantic illustrations of the end credits. Both seem to represent opposite poles of the same reality. Or an inverted future-past and past-future? These illustrations are worth consideration on their own. The actual credits offer only one name for their creator: "Hikaru Tanaka". Or is it Hicaru Tanaka? The name is an interesting issue.
Hicaru Tanaka is somewhat of a mystery even in Japan. His web presence has largely atrophied in the past decade. He is and was a Science Fiction or Fantasy illustrator with a remarkable style. Yet, internationally, he is largely only known for the Outlaw Star credits sequence. His paintings and illustrations leave an unreal impact. Women who drift through the vast unknown cosmos of a reality at least partially similar to ours. The issue of finding Hicaru Tanaka on the Internet is a similar journey of familiar and foreign worlds. Time does not seem to exist here.
So upon what distance worlds do we see the Imaginative Realism of Hicaru Tanaka?

The story of Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser is a Devil's deal: literature, music, and drugs. Kaiser was a regular vinyl Doctor Faustus with a Berlin temperament to match. It is much appropriate the story of Kaiser, Ohr, and Krautrock share broad strokes with the Faust legend. Kaiser had a certain Teutonic nature spiked with 1970s politics (among other substances). The downfall of Kaiser follows a dramatic structure much the same, but, like the endless varieties of the Faust legend, Kaiser's end is much a mystery or an act of God. He was the "Mad Monk" in touch with the groovy universe. An act of God or a Sternenmädchen? It was all self-destruction that ended in an essential disappearance or transformation.
Though he hated the foreign label "Krautrock", Kaiser was instrumental in building that international image of German Rock music. He signed to his label nearly every major German name of the era: Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, Guru Guru, Popol Vuh and even a brief parlay with Amon Düül I. There were others such as Mythos, Hoelderlin, and Wallenstein. All of these, taking a cue from Edgar Froese, Kaiser declared to be "Cosmic Music". In the following decades, Kaiser became the topic of polarizing arguments, but Kaiser was long gone by then. He remained in only a few strange clues. The three greats of the era: Klaus Schulze, Edgar Froese, and Manuel Göttsching all hold vastly different views on Kaiser. Only the growing decades, and the cosmos, will decide Kaiser's fate.
So how did R.U.K create a music empire that never made a cent?

The strangest video game cross promotion in history. Though unoffical, this mention of a Blue Oyster Cult "DOOM Level" has existed on the band's official website since at least 2004. So what exactly was it? The WAD appears to have sunken into total obscurity, if was it was ever online at all. Where does this mysterious Blue Oyster Cult level fit in among the annals of DOOM lore? Do any DOOM modders out there perhaps have a copy on a floppy?

Don't Fear The Reaper? There is nothing to fear with Blue Oyster Cult. That was not always the case though. The band's reputation has gone from controversial to quirky over several decades. Blue Oyster Cult's origins go deeper than the self-titled album and Tyranny and Mutation. In some respects, the group wanted to set Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll. The band symbol was originally intended to represent a parody of chaos, but what is the Symbol?
Buck Dharma, Eric Bloom, Allen Lanier, and Joe and Albert Bouchard were a motley group assembled for certain musical-sociological reasons. Band manager, Sandy Pearlman, had a lot of ideas for the band and all were rather tongue-and-cheek. The band's disparate material was united under the hook-and-cross. By hook or by crook, the BOC logo has come to represent a certain strand of unique, mythical rock. How deep into the past does the confusion of this Symbol go? The Symbol remains after all.
So let us look at the technology behind the strange matter.

Way beyond "Werewolves of London", Warren Zevon one time tried to produce an album based after William Gibson, Thomas Pynchon, and even the geopolitics of the Cold War. It was a "2010 Sci-Fi Project". The strange menagerie of Rock, Folk, and technological concepts would eventually develop into the under-remarked "Transverse City (1989). It was Warren Zevon's tour of a Cold War world gone mad and introspection of his own psychology. The excitable boy that he was. In interviews, Zevon called the album a, "Checklist of humanities ills." So has Transverse City grown malignant since those Cyberpunk statements or has the world turned upside down?
The album was intended to be "Dense" and was a studio project from top to bottom. On it, Zevon was able to enlist contributions from Jerry Garcia, David Gilmour, J. D. Souther, Neil Young, and even actor Michael Ironside contributed to the album's centerpiece "Run Straight Down". Songs like "The Long Arm of the Law" and "Gridlock" zoomed through the social chaos of Zevon's imagined future. "Turbulence" and "They Moved The Moon" examine longing on both sides of the Cold War, Afghanistan and nowhere. "Down In The Mall" and "Nobody's In Love This Year" are economic statements which might still hold weight in personal matters today. There's no Lawyers or Money here, but there is a sort of headless underground. Zevon's sight aimed far on the album and, as a musician's musician, he may have a uniquely Zevonian prediction for the outlandish world of 2010.
So, beyond neon vistas and the data processing, won't you come on down to Transverse City?

Old music, old blogs, and many frozen ideas to warm with the spring. Winter Synth is a particularly cold variant of Dungeon Synth that emerged only a few years after Dungeon Synth's emergence. Or is it a variant of Dungeon Synth at all? Dark Ambient, Dungeon Synth, and Winter Synth... The list usually runs something like that. Winter Synth is always the third qualifier in the list of three adjacent "styles". The rule threes defined Winter Synth orginally as "something that was not Dungeon Synth". Since it emerged in such an embryonic period, Winter Synth essentially serves as the "second stem" of Dungeon Synth. Winter Synth was crafted in essentially the same manner as Dungeon Synth: by albums and aesthetics. As defined by Balbulus on the Winter Synth Blog, Winter Synth (or WS) is cold, austere, and hypnotic. It embraces everything from the equinox to Antarctica. This is a genre for the winter nights of ice, forests, and mountains.
This video is a far from perfect appendix to my previous Dungeon Synth video. It is more an exploration of the complications in Dungeon Synth's many emergent styles: Winter Synth, Nature Synth, Forest Synth, etc. It seems the style/genre is constantly exploding with mutations and experiments. Is all of this splitting hairs over presentation? Winter Synth ties deeply into Dungeon Synth's musical lineage. Winter Synth is perhaps the Ambient mirror to Dungeon Synth's Black Metal: Klaus Schulze, Paysage D'Hiver, Idjarn, Jääportit, and even up to the recent Aindulmedir. Winter Synth is a complicated asterisk to the discussions of Dungeon Synth's musical ancestry. Another facet of the story which deepens one's appreciation. The outpouring of creativity and comic influence through another stream.
Does this all signal the "Dark Age" then?

Pseudiom presents to the people a long overdue analysis of RTsharpshooter's magnum opus: "The Super Awesome Adventures of Hunk". What? Never heard of The Super Awesome Adventure of Hunk (otherwise known as TSAAoH)? This is a little digital archeology into the zeitgeist of 2007 YouTube then. The days when Resident Evil 4 regined as one of the crowned kings. The era of Gameplay Montages, YouTube Poops, Minds Series, and Abridged Series. It was an era before most of those video labels though. It was an era of the ascendance of "lol randumb xd" which strikes the era as incredibly archaic today. This old series is equally awkward and gangly in many respects. This look back does not regret the past though, it looks back at how it is unfinished.
This video is really just me indulging in a strong dose of nostalgia. The roots of the Pseudiom channel can actually be traced back to The Super Awesome Adventures of Hunk. It deserves the credit for being one of those obscure series that were attempting to due a lot for the time, but never got real recognition for doing one thing that lasted. RTshapshooter and Hyconafistarosticate's Resident Evil videos had popularity, but it did not have lasting popularity. As such, it faded away to become another artifact remembered by only a few who still watch over it. It is time to restore the legacy of this fascinating example of 2007 YouTube.
When is the next episode of the Super Awesome Adventures of Hunk?

This Halloween, I decided to consider Gohan Blanco in review. People asked me to make this video so I thought I should. The truth is the power of belief can make anything real (technically). It all dates back to Dragon Ball AF. The Internet is strange in how a joke from the Dragon Ball fanbase can end up traveling across enough websites to influence Scooby-Doo. Oh, yes, Shaggy is involved in this video too. A joke can travel across the world faster than a media franchise. Gohan Blanco, El Hermano, UI Shaggy, all came into their crowd-sourced existence. Due to the wealth of what was produced on 4chan, YouTube, and certain forums, this video is far from perfect, but it is a review (or more a revue in style).
Gohan Beast or Beast Gohan. The hottest new form out of Dragon Ball Super: Superhero. Is this Gohan Blanco cannonized? Did enough magic and Spanish grant such a wish? Not really. It is a sort of anime synchronicity though. Akira Toriyama's character designs were predestined to create a look resembling the meme of Gohan Blanco (Ultra Instinct already existed). Toriyama has made more then enough statements about how Super Saiyan came about so they can be extrapolated. That is not to say Dragon Ball does not have its own unique legacy on the English and Spanish Internet.
This Halloween, enjoy the true roman and fantasy of how CHADhan won.

Stephen Burroughs bears the distinct honor of being the most crooked figure in American folklore. Much to his own chagrin, he dominated the criminal world of the post-independence United States. A preacher's son from Hanover, New Hampshire that turned both the American and Canadian culture upside down. Burroughs life was a string of poorly thought out failures brought upon by the strange circumstances of his obstinate personality. For decades, Burroughs was the shining example of a rather smart individual, but a person who thought they were smart in all the wrong areas. Burroughs quick thinking and sharp tongue carried him across the early history of the United States of America.
As a criminal celebrity, Burroughs may very well be one of the earliest examples of "True Crime". Burroughs published tales of his own crimes in his pseudo-autobiography: "Memoirs of the Notorious Stephen Burroughs". Orginally an attempt to (poorly) clear his own reputation, these "Memoirs" only made Burroughs more notorious. These "Memoirs" were of course subjected to the unreliable narrator that was Stephen Burroughs. Burroughs held a monopoly on his own story—even after death. All extensive biographies of Burroughs have come to futility, he does not even have a Wikipedia page (as of today). Burroughs abilities as an escape artist persist postmortem. The centuries have not dulled the absurdity of Stephen Burroughs' spirit. It is a unique spirit of all the wrong lessons.
Here is Stephen Burroughs told from his own clutches and complaints!

From "The Library of Babel" to "The Book of Sand", Jorge Luis Borges astounds and obsesses with his complexity. To Borges, literature was its own history. A history that entangles itself backwards into an obscure past of mythology, salvation, and damnation. Though in the register of mythic world, Borges, a definite agnostic, often touched on the mythology of the Norse and the mirror of Christianity. Borges found them both to interesting veins which to analyze history, literature, and destiny. The objects which emerge into Borges short stories are the obsessive fantasies of this other world—one either of dreams or shadows.
He throws the eponymous "Disc of Odin" into the twilight of a world, a twilight of Ragnarok. The Disc is an impossible object of one side that compels obsession. The mathematical impossibility of the disc escapes the logic of the world it exists in. In the skald's voice, Borges tells of the fatal end of the world in "El Disco", "Ulrikke", and "The Witness". The last howl of a wolf that soon fades away forever. The lost images of Gods who are reduced to strange, wandering ghosts. Or perhaps they are the old stranger we welcome in?
There are those who are only king in dreams and stories.

Emerging from the insular obscurity of 1960s French rock and roll, Magma stormed the music world as if invading from another planet. As bandleader Christian Vander testified, Magma was a concept inspired by another world: Kobaia. Kobaia, the Celestial Planet, the planet where the "Univeria Zekt" is promised. Magma sings as the bards of the "Zeuhl Wortz" or the genre "Zeuhl". Zeuhl is the "Celestial Music" of Magma's unsettling universe. It is a concussive universe of screams, zealotry, and command which form a surreal beauty. The surreal world of Earth, Kobaia, and Ork forms through Magma's music.
Magma is often heralded as the "Master" of Progressive Rock. Though, the Zeuhl which Magma sings is a unique strand of Prog Rock. Zeuhl is an alien symphony both Romantic and futuristic. Magma is a band which preforms with great dissonance and great mastery. There is a certain philosophy and story the band has formed over more than 50 years of performance. So how does Magma tell of the universe from the Pharaoh in Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré, to a ruined Earth in Kobaïa, to the universe's own end in the performance of Zëss?
"And nothing – no, nothing! – will stop us!"

Better abandoned than automated? Ghost YouTube channels tell no tales.

Strange tones, fake lyrics, and false faces, does YouTube have its own form of number stations? These are the ghosts of the Dead Internet Theory. Robotic channels which were active once, for only a few days, then went quite for years. Went quite until they were rediscovered by another robot in 2022. Fossils leftover from a rather notorious wave of spam on YouTube between 2014-2016. There are thousands of these forgotten videos, but two channels of note: Cyndi Schreier and Lorilee Hilden.
This is (as far as I know) a Pseudiom original investigation (sponsored by Atlas VPN!). I dig into the rabbithole of unreal lyric videos that only an intrepid few commenters have ever come across. It is a sort of singular conspiracy spanning, YouTube, Germany, Russia, and even Spotify! What separates the real from the fake? The private original and the public domain copy. Fake people from stolen profile pictures. Anonymous artists and digital fame. This is the first organized documentation of a forgotten YouTube scheme. It has been a problem growing in online music for more than a decade now. It spans iTunes in the past, to YouTube, to Spotify in the present.
Follow along for a little digital archeology about fake identities on YouTube.

Wordsworth Editions is a somewhat notorious name in the publishing business. Since the late 1990s, Wordsworth books have circulated a certain style. An art style that is halfway between pulp Romance novels and unfinished photoshops. The Wordsworth "Black Covers" are the most unique covers in the English book market for how stilted they look. The Wordsworth Classics line is public domain novels dedicated with these incredibly odd (or bad) book covers. Most internet savvy readers have had a close encounter of the third kind with one Wordsworth cover or another.
Why would one adorn classical literature (or books in the public domain) like this? Do they truly grab that much attention? After all, this video does exist to talk about these book covers. The history behind Wordsworth's stunning unique covers is one fraught with old standards, book publishing in the new era, and legal threats in the UK (not because of relations to the poet of the same name). Wordsworth abolished classic art covers in favor of the all encompassing black cover. There are too many to acknowledge, but they are a fascinating genre that has accidentally spawned.
You really want me to expand on these? Well, it is outside the pages of a book.

The Fred Durst-Rei connection. Every once and a while an odd image boils up that appeals to an odd cross section of the Internet: Limp Bizkit and Evangelion. Rap-rocker Fred Durst in a forgotten live stream holding a figure of Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion. The screen capture is often used as an Internet non-sequiter, but the random juxtaposition has more to it beneath the low quality. Why did Fred Durst show a live audience on Ustream his Rei figure? And does the live stream of that moment still exist? It leads one down the "Fred Durst Rabbit hole".
Who even remembers Ustream? It was a sort of predecessor to Twitch and filled the same niche. Today, that old steaming site is essentially gone. The only thing that remains of Fred Durst's streams is that screencap and a few brief clips uploaded to YouTube a decade ago. Still, the Rei figure has made a few appearances long after that lost stream. One has to work backwards to find a date the stream occurred likely in November 2010.
Here is a pointless investigation into a pointlessly iconic images to a certain subset of the internet.

How do you know when you have a new music genre? When it involves dragons, masks, church burnings, video games, grandma's cottages, tiny mice, and dinosaurs. Dungeon Synth is more a genre that ceded from a hazy borderland of older genres. An outpouring of ideas old and new followed. It is a descendant of Black Metal, but is also not. Dungeon Synth equally emerged in spirit from the German Krautrock. It is a uniquely disputed and controversial genre. That may be required with a genre that evolved out of synth intros and interludes. Dungeon Synth is one long interlude still in development or the liminial space of music.
In the depths of the Internet, it was the quill of Andrew Werdna which brought Dungeon Synth to life. Though, it was more like necromany. The Dungeon Synth blog developed the idea of Dungeon Synth (or DS) from the established corpus off ambient artist like Mortiis, Burzum, Wongraven, and even Summoning. All artists controversial for their own reasons (one much more than the others). It was a development in both musical philosophy and philology though. Soon, Dungeon Synth was spoken into existence with artists like Lord Lovidicus, Erang, Vinkaldr, Chaucerian Myth, and many more. As synth genres returned to prominence, mutations of Comfy Synth and Dino Synth soon stumbled forward. Is there a mystery in the depths of this dark dungeon?
This is (one) rough genealogy of Dungeon Synth and some quirky offspring.

Why does the ice always attract humanity's strangest impulses? From the ancient mythology of Hyperborea, to the adventures of Pytheas, to the opinions of John Dee and Gerardus Mercator on King Arthur's Arctic, to the inquests of human evolution on a "cooling globe" by French intellectuals, to even the mysticism of 1900s political radicals. There is an electricity to the magnetic poles which attracts the fringes of human thought (sometimes quite famous). This has produced a sort of "rejected history" which sits in the shadows as the broken or lost bits of what was ultimately accepted. Due to its mystery, the ice of Antarctica has kept these jury-rigged beliefs better than any other land. It is the "Inventio Fortunata" of lost mythology or pseudo-history.
Is that why the ideas of giants in the Arctic and Antarctica was retained for so long? As fantastical ideals fade away, they retreat to the corners of the Earth only to be revived in strange places. There is the historical, scientific, and mystical vaults of Antarctica's "Polar Mythology". Polar Mythology is a collection of ideas more defined by "what is not" rather than "what is". In human knowledge, it was once a booming subject before the Arctic and Antarctic turned up (mostly) empty.
Yet... It does not go so easily into that Arctic night. What remains in the ice?

From Dire Straits to "Dire Straights". Telegraph Road is probably the longest song ever dedicated to a road - not a moment, lover, or friend, but a road. It is actually an exact road too: Telegraph Road in Michigan, USA. The band does not hold much affection for the road (being from England and all), but it did leave an impression on their discography. Dire Straights road stands at impressive fourteen minutes all dedicated to an often ignored road.
The song stands as Dire Straits' most complex for a band that is already pretty complex. There's a long story behind the tale of Telegraph Road. Bandlead Mark Knopfler was inspired by the road to tell a story of civilization and disappointment. It winds its way through England, the United States, and even Norway on occasion. Knopfler's guitar is the key to that map: a certain special relationship.
Look out the window and listen to me explain the route formerly known as "Telegraph Road".

Did rockstar Mick Jagger meet writer Jorge Luis Borges? Possibly. Like Borges' fiction, the meeting itself often falls into pure fiction. The titans of England and Argentina definitely orbited one another for most of their careers. Jagger credited Borges to some degree and Borges appears (maybe) to have been aware of Jagger. If anything, they appealed to the same cultural milieu at the same time in the 1960s and 1970s. So what's the history behind this supposed meeting Madrid?
Like the Minotaur's labyrinth, the question is tangled. It definitely began with Borges secretary and wife Maria Kodama, but why is not certain. Was it a real event? Was it half a real event? Was it based on a misconception? Did Jorge Luis Borges actually meet Mick Jagger? Anyone who knows the story will have an opinion and it is very much a story of opinions: one says yes, and one says no. The story veers into the fiction of madness and gangsters.
Draw your knives and prepare to cut into a daring "Performance".

Lost Media, True Crime, and great guitar? Who else but Blue Öyster Cult? "Then Came The Last Days of May" is a an early standout track from BOC's first album: Blue Öyster Cult (1972). The song retells a deadly meeting between two dealers and three college kids in the Arizona desert. And, it does retell the story. While written by guitar virtuoso Buck Dharma (Donald Roeser), Buck based the lyrics of an actual event. It was an event tangentially connected to the origins and sound of the cult itself. The backstory itself has become somewhat of a mystery in itself though.
Buck tells of a trap laid for three college students on vacation. The song is an artistic interpretation of the story by the band, but the event was newspaper worthy. Strangely enough, the event was supposedly reported on by Arizona's own reporter Don Bolles in the last days of may. Every connection which emerges with the song's mysterious 1960s backstory makes it stranger. Like everything associated with Blue Oyster Cult, there is more than a touch of black humor and unnerving Horror in it.

Cusco lingers on the fringes of public imagination. A band most have probably heard in passing, but none (outside Germany) could name the duo behind it: Michael Holm and Kristian Schultze. A pop-singer and a jazz keyboardist who united to make music about the world. A fantastical image of the world, but a pure fantasy none the less. One inspired by Peruvian flutes, mechanical synthesizers, and the European studio environment. The band Cusco existed purely as a concept in the studio.
For a brief moment, Cusco's music was a global trend. There are few sounds more associated with the term "New Age", but "New Age" is not a useful term in regards to Cusco. Holm and Schultze's work appeared everywhere from commercials, to late night radio, to even Epcot. This video does not cover everything, but it gives enough of a taste to understand Cusco. It was an interesting musical project, if not as a project very much of the German 1980s.
Cusco cut a pretty unique path across and back over the world.

The name of Chile is as mythological as its supposed namesake: "Valle de Chili". The legendary "Valley of Chile" from which the Inca were said to have acquired their riches. In a few ways, "Chile" became an etymological El Dorado and a Mine of Solomon. It encased this place at the ends of the world with its own mythology that tied together the Old and New Worlds. All too soon, Classical references were mingling with Inca folklore for a Spanish-speaking public. Unlike the silver of Argentina, or the wood of Brazil, the gold of Chile was never found, but that name was.
Is there any truth (or even origin) to the name of Chile? It has been a scholarly dispute for centuries. Since the start, Chilean scholars have imbued the "Provincias de Chile" with all sorts of fabulous tales. It rests either in the lands or the souls of Chilenos. The names span from Diego de Almagro, to MIchimalonco, to Alonso de Ovalle, to Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna, to Rodolfo Lenz, to even to the Internet today.
Chili then turned to Chile, but not Chilly, but it may be Thile (begrudge the pronunciation).

CarnEvil is a critical, cult darling of the Internet. An arcade shooter about taking on a haunted, horrifying as absurd as its leader: Professor Ludwig von Tokkentakker. Along the way, the player shoots their way through clowns, dinos, giant babies, and the game's voice Umlaut. It was a product perfectly crafted by the small team's horror obsession and insane aesthetics. The world has Jack E. Haeger to thank for germinating the seed of CarnEvil. But, untended, seeds have a habit of sprouting out of control on the Internet.
Online, CarnEvil has garnered a cult or became a cult. Due to this, its lore now runs deep. It is less of arcade sideshow today and more of the three ring circus's main attraction. The files of CarnEvil hold a mysterious music track named "TUNNEL0.BNK". As always, there is a good ghost story about the spooky implications of this unused beta attract. Maybe all along there was a cult behind CarnEvil? Its a little absurd, but CarnEvil's personality requires it.
Now, make sure you're tall enough to board this ride, okay?

Why do American books have so many disclaimers? It is a carryover from an older era of the United States. When printing was widely unregulated and on the rage. American intellectuals styled the United States an "Intellectual Republic" based upon mass literary. An idealistic image for a dozen or so states filled with farmers and a few cities. But, it was believed, books would build an enlightened nation (the results are in the eyes of the beholder). No matter the cost—or, more so, the lack of one.
The concept of English copyright (or common law copyright) just barely predated the United States in legislation on the historical scale. This is not a thorough investigation of copyright, that is a task much larger, but it is about how Americans perceived copyright. How both the historical and literary arts left their stamp on the "Printing Art". The printers always provide good pulp fodder.
It is a tale as old as the printing press, or maybe a few more.

In 1977, singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb released a song called "The Highwayman" on his album 'El Mirage'. By way of his work with Country legend Glen Campbell, Webb had built himself a strong reputation in the popular music sphere. Despite Webb's repute as a songwriter, Webb's rendition of the song would not reach fame. It still lingered in the sphere of Country music though. It was through Campbell how Webb's highly spiritual song would reach fame. In the form of a country ballad, it was an expansive exploration of the American idea.
Webb's song had grabbed upon the radical experimentation in Country music at the time. It was an attempt to synthesize two opposite elements dominating Country at the time. The old-style Cowboy music and the unreal forms of Progressive Country. By way of many musicians, the concept of the "Cosmic Cowboy" was born. Through Webb's pen, and the legendary voices of Country, the "Cosmic Cowboy" would truly go celestial.
How then does "The Highwayman" span both time and culture?

U2, Pink Floyd, David Crosby, Donald Fagen, and Fleetwood Mac, all endorsed by the Pope? People seemed to think so in February 2010 when a strange list began to circulate online. Many outlets billed it as the Catholic Church's "Top Ten List of Rock Albums". Was it actually a Top Ten list promulgated by the Vatican itself? Technically not, but it was close. An interesting footnote in the recent cultural history (and observation) of Vatican City.
The list discussing (and approving of) Classic Rock albums and others was in no way official Catholic teaching. It did not even technically come from the Vatican itself, but it did come from "inside" the Vatican. The Rock Music list was the work of two writers of the "L'Osservatore Romano". Vatican City's official newspaper that is often look towards as the "Pope's Paper" or the mouthpiece of the Catholic Church. The L'Osservatore has an interesting history with the wider world and culture that lead to it (briefly) publishing a list of music recommendations.
So why is this paper "Ufficioso" and does its opinion carry any weight? Here or in the here-after.

There are plenty of knots in the devil's story. Or any story that features the devil. Americans like to believe they can beat the devil himself. Satan's just another stepping stone in the manifest destiny of the United States' expansion to the heavens. Ol' Scratch is a common feature in the folklore of the United States. Usually, he's beaten handily by a faithful fellow or a legal expert, but sometimes he gets the boot from two drunken cowboys.
Gail I. Gardner perhaps penned the best account of the Devil in Southwestern poetry. It, without Gardner's blessing, would become a cornerstone of "Cowboy music". The poem "Sierry Petes" has a tumultuous copyright history. One that Gail Gardner almost came to blows over. So how did such an Arizona poem become a song covered by every kind of cowboy?
Well, it all happened way up high in the Sierry Petes...

What is there to "El Paso"? Marty Robbins' hit song that endures to this day. Against the tide of history, and vanity of popular culture, it is invincible. A song of romance and passion with cowboy irony. Marty Robbins' had enough Southwestern wit to write an American song that would last generations. It is so enduring because it has deep roots in both American and Mexican culture. The type of song builds itself up out of culture.
How much reality is there to "El Paso" though? It seems a little too Country-Western cowboy for most. A rich texture of mystery mirrors the drama of the "El Paso Saga (or Trilogy)". Several songs that mirror Marty Robbins' own relationship with El Paso. It is a long, not always clear, story that spans more than twenty years.
There really is a "Mystery of El Paso" somewhere out there...

King of the Hill is an iconic American sitcom. Every American sitcom gets weird merchandise.
People joke about a King of the Hill video game, but it was real. It was also, honestly, a competent attempt at one. That does not mean it was very good or memorable though. Maybe the fact it is rather forgotten makes it incredibly bizarre. Very little of the game is interesting in video game terms (so this is not a review), but it is interesting in being some "alternate attempt" at King of the Hill media: Hootenanny and Texas Huntin'. How do you make a video game out of a show that has nothing at all to do with video games?
It is also incredibly hard to actually run (on any computer). What mystery could it contain?

The "Dead Internet" theory proposes that the Internet is "dead". How can a bundle of tubes, cords, and clouds be dead? The name is misleading (and maybe misapplied), but it is not totally incorrect. The Internet suffers a unique form of entropy. Websites, data, and users all exist in a social-technological ecosystem many will do not realize. Everyone (even you) are in this box. The problem is: parts of the box appear to be defunct or not available at all.
The Internet is essentially a game of shadows. Users have to guess at most of what is "there". A problem when most of the modern Internet functions largely in the background. This has produced an eternally repeating cycle around a chain of a dozen "central" websites. The centralization of the Internet has produced a system that does not appear to be there at all. Maybe no one is there anyways...
Could the Internet just be empty?

"We want a NATIONAL NAME," declared Washington Irving (in all capitals as well). America's first major author of fiction was simply putting a public debate at the time to terms. In the early days of the United States, the nation's association with "America" was questionable. Was the term too generic for a new, national people? The terms of the United States were then (and technically still are) under debate. "America" was once far less synonymous with the United States. Many authors, intellectuals, and glory seekers tried their hands at coining a new national term.
Many were vague and hard to pronounce, but America won the day. Still, a few of these terms linger about the more hidden corners of the national imagination. A few had as equally complicated origins as "America" itself. Columbia, Cabotia, Fredonia, and names as odd as Vesperia and Vinland. The fantastical, the poetical, and the utilitarian. Not all in English either but the debate was one mostly concentrated on the development of American English.
The divorce of patriotism and poeticism is more then obvious in a few...

Monarchy in the United States was once more than a fringe theory or fantasy. There was once in an affection for "Enlightened" Monarchy in America. A few of the founders considered the idea that a monarch would give the United States a strong, central figure. Multiple names of the Revolution offered opinions on the possibility of such goverment in a new nation. Others took to the idea as a conspiracy that became legendary... Did a group of conspirators want a European monarch to rule the United States?
The "Prussian Scheme" was one taboo topic of the early American republic. The gossip that there had been a very real faction in the United States that desired monarchy. Others claimed a French general had once intended to make himself dictator of the United States. All swirled in the early arguments of political pragmatism for such a new nation. It was not until the early 1900s, nearly 200 years later, answers were accidentally uncovered. But what was the story told in assembled letters?
So how popular (or feared) was the idea of a king (constitutional or not) in the United States?

Can you really examine the history behind Minecraft parody songs? Yes. Yes you can.
Ironically enough, most who would care about CaptainSparklez and TryHardNinja's "TNT" are now adults. Minecraft parody songs have had a strange rise, fall, and rise again across YouTube. They have a strange relationship to the game's identity itself. There is something very foundational in their existence which continues to influence internet culture to this day. The song/video has developed into a bizarre symbol of YouTube's recent past.
So where did silly block game songs come from, and where did they go?

Warren Zevon's Roland is a character that walks out of the fog of history. The dirge of a mercenary in an era now mostly forgotten. Roland is a figure composed of the worst days from the African continent. The days when war was common and mercenaries were plentiful. Against this backdrop, the figure of "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner" works his trade. A reaper who sings his dirge through the Cold War. Revenge his only paycheck.
Of all of Zevon's songs, "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner" is often seen as his masterpiece. A song Warren worked with an actual mercenary to draft. It contains folklore, espionage, regrets, and revenge. The thread of history runs through it all. Though not always perfect, it takes heavy inspiration from the mercenary wars of Africa. The many now forgotten characters who traveled across the seas to join in them. Characters that fascinated Warren Zevon.
Roland's ghost still walks to this day...

You don't know the Unforgiven (this Unforgiven anyways...). There are plenty that bare the title, but there was one odd, little band from Inland Empire, California that took the world by storm—almost. The Unforgiven never actually had a single hit. The concept of lead singer Steve "John Henry" Jones, the Unforgiven never got much beyond a concept. But they had their brief blaze of glory. The band founds its origins in Eastcoast punk, but, for a moment, it rose far above that. The Unforgiven were "The Next Big Thing", until they weren't. Yet, a cowboy never calls it quits.
So lets catalogue the fascinating ghost dance of a "No Hit Wonder".

They may find Zager & Evans. The most notorious duo in One-Hit Wonder history. Folk musicians from Nebraska, turned rockstars, who stunned 1960s America with "In The Year 2525". Their only song to ever gain any notoriety. But its fame was rather overwhelming. So overwhelming it obscured the two behind the single song. As the song's popularity waned, Zager & Evans remained but nobody wanted them. Though they were not the first "One-Hit Wonders", the duo has become the archetypal example of the phenomenon. After their hit, Zager & Evans did not survive for long.
So how did Zager & Evans' eccentric fame doom them to popular obscurity?

Magnet was a very popular polar bear from The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. Though, he was nationally (and perhaps internationally) famous for another reason. Magnet somehow found himself an "unoffical" employee of Microsoft and his likeness appeared in 2001's "Zoo Tycoon". In those two odd ways, this quirky polar bear was immortalized for internet eternity.
But how? Magnet's fame stemmed from just more than being the Maryland Zoo's main attraction. He had won Microsoft's now forgotten "Beast in Show" contest back in 2001. A fierce competition between zoos across the United States to have one of their animals appear in Blue Fang Games' "Zoo Tycoon". A contest, and game, with a very unique internet legacy. Time to plunge back in time 2001 to examine a contest literally nobody remembers. And the only reason to remember is because of Magnet. He did land the job.
Lets see why, to this day, Magnet still has such ursine magnetism.

The Leatherman was a famous wanderer who frequented Connecticut's back roads in the 1800s. He was a mysterious hermit/woodsman who spoke little. He was so tight-lipped not even his name was known. Yet, the people adored this gruff wanderer and his odd accent. On his route, "friends" would regularly feed the stranger whenever he came around. The Leatherman's arrival in town was always so punctual it became a sort of local institution in many towns.
The identity of the Leatherman became its own mythos and cottage industry. Newspapers printed whatever little info (fact or fiction) they could obtain about 'Old Leathery'. The hermit was always apathetic to attempts to discern his purpose. Only the lucky few ever obtained any actual details about the local icon. His travels had no beginning and no end. To this day, scholars still debate who this well-photographed legend of local folklore was.
Now, let's see why the Leatherman's own story could never catch up with him.

There are no end of strange movements throughout history. Ones that pose some every strange questions to the human psyche. Japan's "Ee Ja Nai Ka" could best be considered an Eastern equivalent to Europe's legendary "Dancing Plague". Both involved spontaneous dancing for days often due to unexplained events or miracles. What makes the "Ee Ja Nai Ka" more remarkable though is they occurred in the 1800s and was well recorded in both writing and artwork. The "Ee Ja Nai Ka" exploded between 1867 and 1868. Then, after barely a year, began to peter out as these "miracles" became less and less common. As is obvious, there was probably more to the random nature of these mass dancing spectacles...
The "Ee Ja Nai Ka" took place against a backdrop of total social meltdown in Japan. By the 1860s, the opening of trade to the West had sent Japan into a spiral of instability. Neither the established Tokugawa Shogunate nor the civilian populace could maintain Japan's collapsing feudal structure. A structure that had kept peace (and tranquility) throughout the country for more than 200 years. The "Ee Ja Nai Ka" then were a sort of mass, hysteric response to events beyond the people's control. But, when there is an opportunity, political players will always take the advantage...
So why did this dancing plague (or madness) become so spiritual in Japan?

Don't be afraid, there is very little actually satanic about "Satans Kingdom". Three incredibly odd locations in New England that share their name (often misspelled) with the Devil's domain. Why would any soul name something after Hell? Largely to instill fear in any random trespasser. The three "Satans Kingdoms" of Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut are three, largely unused, stretches of land. Though, since the colonial days, a strange folklore has always pervaded them. The odd fears of the Puritan are inherent in these locations.
There is no end to the controversy around the figure of the New England Puritan. The Puritan that has become so entrenched in the image of the United States' Northeast. To understand why the occult was so omnipresent in the North, one has to look at it from the view of the Puritans. There society was founded on (what would be considered today) an odd sort of covenant. Their faith in God was as real as their belief in magic. Satan was there too and he lived in the woods...
Let's strike out through the terror of history to find Hell itself (apparently)...

Thus is the warning that opens Jorge Luis Borges' famous short story: "The Library of Babel". First published in Spanish 1941 as "La biblioteca de Babel". Since then, the idea of the 'Total Library' has come to dominate the bibliographic imagination. A universal library equal parts (almost) infinite wisdom and endless nonsense. A typographic world were the ideas of infinity and zero intermix. It is no surprise then the internet has long sought after Borges notorious thought experiment. A totally sealed universe that may hold its own vindication, but can anyone ever find it?
Though, neither Borges nor the Internet were the first to conjure the overwhelming idea. While obscure, Borges acknowledged a long history behind the concept before he wrote "La biblioteca de Babel". The mystery of the library is the mystery of its own history. A history as old as humanity and one that will always exist in parallel with humanity. Jonathan Basile's website "Libraryofbabel.info" shows us the fruits of the library's platonic ideal. Humanity, even if digitally, can finally touch the surface of the library, but the library runs deep. A trench of both history and possibility.
While I'm not good at Math, I do known an overwhelming idea when I see one.

Silly Bandz(s) are synonymous with Fads. The first major fad of the 2010s to spread across American schools. By July 2010, Silly Bandz were dominating the public imagination. Then, within the next few months, Silly Bandz fell out of popularity. It was a brief Romance that barely had an end.
It is interesting then to reexamine Silly Bandz's moment in the sun. Silly Bandz are great example of of the 2010s. A combination of micro-culture and micro-chronology. How much does anyone remember about the useless, five dollar rubber bands? Silly Bandz though do have a few secrets behind them. It is time to remember the blur that was Silly Bandz.
Can plastic rubber band bracelets really be so interesting? It is bizarre...

"Kairei (1983)" may appear baffling upon discovery. A Japanese-Christian movie, largely in English, that features Johnny Cash, but was never released in any English speaking country. The confusing mystery behind "Kairei" goes deep, but its direct origins are simple. An adaptation of Japanese novelist Miura Ayako''s 1981 novel of the same name that was in turn based upon the story of the "Three Kichis". Three Japanese sailors who, after being swept out to the Pacific, took a world tour to return home. In the same manner, the story of "Kairei (1983)" traveled around the globe only to also end up in obscurity (in both English and Japanese).
What will a search that began from a single Wikipedia link reveal in this wide sea?
