The Rise And Fall of a Liverpudlian Macca: What happened to "Dungeon Lane" on Billboard?

 Like thousands of other Beatles fans, I was very excited for Paul McCartney's new album, "The Boys of Dungeon Lane", and I got it the day after release (Amazon decided to be a cheeky bastard and not deliver it on release day AS THEY FUCKING PROMISED TO.) It's a good album, I like it. But this week, it's had one of the biggest downfalls i've ever seen one of the Billboard charts.


 


Last week, it made its debut on the Billboard 200 chart, and peaked at number 5. Very good news, it's always nice to see people listening Macca. 




But this week it's at NUMBER 145. Jesus Christ. What the hell happened between then and now? Is there some controversy I don't know about? Do Americans just not like Macca as much anymore? WTF???

The Wiggles Concert That Time Forgot

  Do you ever just forget that you did something one time, then see a picture or two a few years later and react like "Wait, that happened?" That's basically what happened to me. Back in the day, whenever the live production of a show I liked came to town, i'd probably go see it. Yo Gabba Gabba, Sesame Street, Thomas the tank engine, even Sid the effin' Science Kid! But there was one group I saw more times than any of these. While not nesecarily the "live production of a kids show" like the others, but I knew them mostly from TV. I'm of course talking about The Wiggles.   I first came across the Wiggles back when PBS Kids Sprout was airing their TV shows back in the day (Which I talked about in a previous blog post). While I wasn't as big of a Wiggles kid as I was for Yo Gabba Gabba, it was defnitely a top 5 favorite show for me at the time. I think it might have been #2 on my list actually. Back in the 2000's and early 2010's, The Wiggle...

The Janken Game: Am I Too Late?

Image
 So basically I recently learned of an old Japanese rock paper scissors arcade game by Data East. Romanized it's called "Janken Game: Acchi Muite Hoi!". I would love to play it but I wouldn't have a clue how to play it with a standard game controller/keyboard lmao So basically this video of the game got recommended to a bunch of people around September/October. Suprisingly I don't think I ever saw it during that time. I usually get all the randomly recommended stuff too but not this one. During that time it also went viral on Twitter. I believe it reached its peak a month or two ago since that's when most of the fan content about this game was put out. I had seen it around a bit but I didn't learn more about it until recently. It seems that for the most part, the Janken Game hype train has died down. Better late than never I guess?
