New Possibilities for Cracking a Brick Wall?
I have a semi-brick wall... that is to say, I know a LOT about him up until a point, but then he disappears, and I want to know more about his life and death, beyond where the trail runs cold.
This is one of my paternal GGGrandfathers, about whom (because of a very narrow tree at this point) more might be discoverable via "DNA Matches on my paternal side, NOT understandable in the context of the ones I already know."
That is... IF he had any other children outside of the known, after he disappeared. I know he had (or claimed to have) a second wife on a shipping manifest when he was aged 32, so the possibility of other kids is real.
I can give more detail, but don't want to overload the basic question: Is there any technique available for looking at paternal-side DNA matches, and identifying a branch of my tree that is currently invisible to me (if it exists at all?).
At the same time, is there a way of quickly eliminating all of those matches that I have that I KNOW are paternal side, but born/related to ancestors more recent than this particular GGGrandfather?
Thanks for ideas, and I'll respond to any questions as full as I can.

Shuffle PR
Soul Met Body: new PR!
I severed my quad tendon a couple years back, and have been rehabbing since... walking, trying to bound up into more aggressive activities.
Felt great getting out of bed so I limbered up, lubricating my fascia as they say, and set out to try to improve my time over a familiar course.
I launched a shuffle on my DCFC Albums.
The Shuffle:
Gold Rush
Little Bribes
<skip Foxglove Through the Clearcut>
Summer Skin
Brothers On A Hotel Bed
The Flavor of Metal
St. Peter's Cathedral
Full of Stars
You Are A Tourist
Pity and Fear
I was not expecting, even though I ran down... well, "ran" is an exaggeration… Even though I jogged down most of the hills, I did not expect to break my personal time for this route.
Photo notes: grass shadows had me wishing "Crooked Teeth" was playing. Tree appeared during St. Peter's Cathedral -- there's nothing past this.

Is He Happy Now?
Marc regularly took some pride in having played a role in Nate Bargatze's rise. I wonder how he feels about him now, after Nate attended Trump's White House desecrating nitro-circus MMA shit show toddler birthday party?

Streaming/Viewing Man Wulf
Where can a Stewart Lee-starved American stream/see "Stewart Lee vs. Man Wulf"?
I've been seeing a lot of podcasts and interviews as he discusses the show, but no chance of getting across the pond to watch live in a theater.
Letterboxd says it's release in 2024 as a "movie." Egads! 2 years old already? The Pods I've seen seemed a bit more current...
What a freaking genius, and GREAT interview subject he is. Always fresh, present and clearly working "top of mind" rather than scripted or spewing old chestnut stories.

Who's the oldest fanboy/fangirl repeat-listening to IBYAT?
I've recently seen some longtime fans reminiscing about the band's growth, when they first heard them, etc. and I thought "Cool! More people like me out there.
Then they revealed their age: 34.
FFS... I just crossed 60. Where my geezers at? This new album is strong, and hits hard if you've got some mileage.
