Here comes the Spider-Man!

Pretty sure this was written for the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack, and originally was about 30 seconds longer with the title, "The Supreme Being Teaches Spider-Man How To Be In Love". I haven't seen that movie yet, but according to Google the song doesn't appear in the movie. I think it would be cool if this appears in a future MCU Spider-Man film! I think they could use like 20 seconds of it and it would still work really well, "I hear you call my name / here comes the Spider-Man"...

BoC vibes in Boston's Museum of Science

I was there for their Radiohead planetarium show. They should do a BoC one!

Venue entrance closed, they turned us away and said wait in cars until the rain passes and come back

The rain was really bad and wind was blowing my poncho off. Waiting in the car for updates.

United Airlines mess yesterday (I arrived at Panic Station)

Did anyone else miss the show in Mansfield, MA because of the airline mess? United had a nationwide tech outage and that delayed my first flight then apparently because of the weather my connecting flight from Newark couldn't fly into the Boston airport. Sat on the plane waiting for it to take off for about 2 hours, with updates every half hour or so from the pilot that gave us hope we might make it to Boston. Then the flight was cancelled and there was no customer service to talk to about refunds or scheduling a flight to get home, just unhelpful AI chat on the United app and a phone number to call nobody could get through to. It was utter chaos.

I have a sister who lives in Boston and we're both big Muse fans and she got us tickets for this show, and it was a huge bummer to miss the show. It would have been our 3rd time seeing the band live together. And then the airport nightmare made a bad situation worse. I have a severe anxiety disorder that's the reason I'm disabled so I was having panic attacks all day. I was stranded at the airport and had to spend the night there. All of the comfortable nooks and crannies for sleeping were already taken, and I suspect the airport was specifically designed to make it hard to find somewhere to sleep in order to sell more neck pillows. Unfortunately for me I was too broke to afford a neck pillow (especially with the airport food being so expensive). And being broke is why I was going to fly to the show the day of and go back to the airport and fly home immediately after it (can't afford a hotel and my sister doesn't have space for me to say at her apartment). What a mess this was. I was able to get home to Virginia today thankfully. But I still don't even know if I'll get a refund. What a nightmare.

TIL from the Wikipedia page for the David Byrne movie True Stories that the the origin of the song "Radio Head" which inspired the band name was a guy's alleged psychic experiences he had in college

So really this guy's weird experiences set off a chain of events that led to a band we love being called Radiohead. The song "Radio Head" was actually written for this film. Thank you, Stephen Tobolowsky!

Ruled By Secrecy appreciation post

One of the most underrated and sublime Muse songs. When I was much younger I had a vivid dream in which I was floating over the water behind the cave in Lake Verity from the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl games and the intro piano from Ruled By Secrecy was playing as I floated there over the rippling, clear water with sun sparkling over it. In the dream there was extra tall grass on the shore behind the cave and it was swaying in a gentle breeze. To this day that is still one of my favorite dreams. And this was the first song I ever heard that made me air-piano as intensely as air-guitar. I really hope they bring this out this gem on this tour. Specifically, I hope they play it in Mansfield, MA. That will be my 6th Muse show and if they play this, it would be my first time hearing it live. Must I create a ruledbysecrecyenjoyer account to get the band's attention on Instagram?

Synced up the movie Naqoyqatsi with Inferno

So I was starting to watch the movie Naqoyqatsi for the first time. Description: "A visual montage portrait of our contemporary world dominated by globalized technology and violence." 37 minutes in I had the idea to sync up the movie with Inferno. So I went back to the beginning and muted the film on my laptop and pressed play on Inferno at the same time time as pressing play on the movie. I knew it would be trippy, but I wasn't expecting it to sync up as well as it did. Introit ended exactly as title sequence ended and I was intrigued. I ended up watching beyond the 37 minutes so some of the movie I saw for the first time with BoC soundtracking it.

So many times there were huge coincidences, like songs ending exactly as transitions occur in the movie, a ghostly sequence of people during Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan, footage of industry expanding during The Word Becomes Flesh and a stream of cars rapidly driving while the sample mentions blood pumping. During Deep Time, the word TIME appears huge across the screen (45:46 into the movie). A part of a song (I forget which one) synced up really well with a sequence of faces on currency. During All Reason Departs, while the sample says, "There is a magical operation of maximum importance. The initiation of a new aeon. Before man is ready to accept the Law of Thelema, the great war must be fought", there's a CGI POV sequence inside what appears to be a computer chip and then a portal that leads to a map of the world and sonar or what appears to be bombs going off and the world map sort of explodes and fades into a POV in an aisle of a grocery store. I tried my best to explain it. Also during All Reason Departs, there's a sequence of wax heads of world leaders with trippy imagery and right when that sequence ends, Arena Americanada starts with an infrared image of a giraffe running. During You Retreat In Time and Space there's a series of religious symbols coming toward the screen and fire imagery. During I Saw Through Platonia there are rows of trees, rockets launching, and a bunch of explosions. And during this sequence it's presented in black and white resembling an x-ray with images superimposed over each other. I find this especially interesting because Platonia is a genus of several species of tree. This picture happens to resemble the rows of trees in the movie: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Platonia_insignis. The song happens to end with the image I posted of the sun. And then the movie immediately fades to black for a moment and then transitions to the next part of the movie. There are many moments like this in the movie, I'm only describing a few.

All of this is probably a big coincidence, but it's a really interesting one. Naqed my socks off! Now I will go back to the 37 minute mark and watch the rest of the movie with the Philip Glass soundtrack. At time of posting this I haven't even seen the full movie yet haha.
