    According to Variety, HBO is considering making a series focusing on Aegon's conquest. It's not surprising as, like with House of the Dragon, the whole plot is already laid out. It would surely have to be years away, though.

    I'm hoping they don't feel as though they absolutely have to have dragons in all their Game of Thrones spinoffs. Obviously, this particular one has to have them, but I think they could get a lot of mileage out of a series on the life of Aerys II. That wouldn't have any dragons, direwolves or White Walkers, which I'd prefer.

    And yes, I do realise how odd it is that the fantasy elements are my least favourite part of a fantasy story.

    Tbf to a Conquest series, I'd like it from a non-Targaryen perspective.

     

    Won't get it like that probably tho :(

    I dig George Thorogood. I mean, his music isn't real deep since it's just basically blues guitar and singing about booze. 

    But he has a really cool voice and good guitar tone. 

    One of his best is a cover of the old blues/folk tune John Hardy.

    Same space in my head as John Mellencamp in that I prefer the lesser played tracks.

    Oh, they play Jack & Diane a lot, but its one of my favorite songs by him. If they don't play that, its usually Hurts So Good, from back when he was John Cougar....or Pink Houses. But Hurts So Good more often than Pink Houses.

    For some reason they also play Rachel Platten's Fight Song a lot. An 8 year old, lame one-hit wonder. 

    Meanwhile, the 80's themed radio station (they also play *some* 90's, but not a lot) seems to play Men At Work's Who Can It Be Now and Cutting Crew's (I Just) Died In Your Arms more than they should have any right to.

    The problem is neither of those stations have DJs, which means they have lazy as hell programming directors who like to play the same old shit all the damn time. Meanwhile, the real classic rock station here actually still has DJs, so they tend to play more varied stuff. Though they do play some Led Zeppelin every day at 5pm. And if there's a long thunderstorm, they eventually throw on REO Speedwagon's classic Ridin' The Storm Out.

    Yeah of the like five songs I'm convinced most classic rock stations believe are the only ones John Jacob Cougar Mellencamp ever did, Jack & Diane is the least grating.

    One of the radio stations here has a program director who seems to think Complicated is the only song Avril Lavigne ever did. Seriously, I've never heard them play anything else except Sk8er Boi, but 9 times out of 10, its Complicated that gets played. (Same station plays Irreplaceable a shit ton when they play Beyonce....)

    And I'm With You and agree its an awful song. 

    (See what I did there?)

    This is me but with John Mellencamp and either Pink Houses or Jack & Diane

    300km into my current run in The Long Drive. Started game with my usual goal of eventually swapping over to a bus, found it by the side of the road at roughly the 245km mark. Was really fun there for a while driving a car with three barrels of diesel fuel (one in the trunk, two wedged into the cabin) along in a game with at-times janky as fuck physics.

  6. Been getting back into The Long Drive. Current run gave me a convertible legally-not-VW Beetle to start, about 30 km in at moment.

    Played around with the AM part of the in-car radio for once and was busting out laughing when the station I tuned into ended up playing Ride of the Valkyries as I drove up a hill at a mammoth 40 MPH or so.
