@victoriansecret has been assisting me in my quest to find traditional fife and drum field music with only ONE fife and ONE drum. I am in love with this recording he found of The Duke of York's March (Short Troop), by the Old Fort Niagara Fifes and Drums [Facebook link]. There is something deeply poignant and stirring in the sound of this minimalist arrangement.

If I heard something like this 200-250 years ago I would IMMEDIATELY take the King’s shilling, they wouldn't even need to tempt me with free ribbons and alcohol! You had me at fife and drum.

Happy 50th Birthday, SNL!

It wasn't until I went down the Bill Hader rabbit hole in 2019 that I realized how much Saturday Night Live shaped the comedy I grew up with, comedy today, and pop culture in general. It's been on for 50 years but the first time I remember hearing about it was in university, through the Lonely Island song "Jizz In My Pants".

I didn't know Wayne's World, Coneheads, and Superstar were movie spin-offs to popular sketches on the show; that it catapulted Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, and Bill Murray to fame; that it's provided us Late Night hosts, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers; or that I have it to thank for Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig who would go on to create and star in some of my favorite female comedies: Mean Girls, 30 Rock, and Bridesmaids.

I don't know how well those 90s spin-offs have aged (probably not well⁠—even Superstar I couldn't get behind with then), but I feel the need to give tribute to the institution that has paved the way for some of the most original and fascinating comedies in recent years: Bill's Barry; Will Forte's MacGruber and The Last Man on Earth; Fred Armisen and Maya Rudolph's Forever; John Mulaney's stand-up specials; Bill, Fred, and Seth's Documentary Now!; Jason Sudeikis' Ted Lasso, and The Lonely Island's Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special — along with all the cool shit they're producing like Palm Springs and I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.
