this & that

Why haven't they told me about the cree all-purpose radio station sooner. They play everything from the 50s to today. Half of their ads and one of their shows is in cree which I do not speak a lick of but thats fine, they play banger music. They give me local news updates that arent dripping with UCP cocksucking. They tell me about things that affect a demographic I otherwise hear very little about by virtue of being a white guy in alberta.

Catatonia - Mulder and Scully 1998

"Mulder and Scully" is a song by Welsh alternative rockband Catatonia, released as a single on 19 January 1998 from the band's second album, International Velvet (1998). The song makes direct reference to fictional FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), the two main characters of the popular American sci-fi TV series The X-Files who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files. In an interview Cerys Matthews, co-writer of the song, explained that while she was not a serious fan of the show, the basic premise of the series matched the concept of what she was trying to express.

The song reached number three on the UK Singles Chart, making it Catatonia's highest-charting UK song. It also became a hit in Iceland, reaching number two, and in Ireland, where it peaked at number 17. The music video for "Mulder and Scully" was popular; according to Billboard magazine, it received heavy rotation and was played 30 to 35 times weekly in the UK. The video was heavily promoted in the US, due in part to its direct allusion to The X-Files, and it received decent airplay. Welsh actor Rhys Ifans (recently most known on tumblr for House of the Dragon), one year before his breakout performance in the film Notting Hill, features prominently.

"Mulder and Scully" received a total of 52,9% yes votes. Other X-Files related polls: #855 "Materia Primoris: The X-Files Theme (Main Title)".
