@countcol There's a lovely account of some of these surprising Olympic events in an episode of the lovely and surprising podcast Everything is Alive.

I was delighted to learn from it that Olympic disciplines used to include not only painting, but also architecture and town planning. I am convinced that the world would be a better place if they brought back Town Planning as an Olympic sport.

From now on, I’m going to make everyone I meet listen to this interview with Maeve the Lamppost. If they don’t think the world is a better place after spending 21 minutes and 25 seconds in Maeve’s company, I will judge them harshly and forever.

(There’s a moment when she says the words ‘oh, really’ in a way and in a context that I will laugh about often and forever. Worth hearing for that alone.)

Mit „kisses“ richtet die britische Shoegaze-Band Slowdive ihren Blick von den Schuhen nach oben gen Pop-Himmel und fabriziert damit den vermutlich besten Pop-Song, den eine Shoegaze-Band je gemacht hat.
