The combination of looking up TMBG oddities and rarities and Bocchi the Rock content has managed to get the youtube algorithm to recommend me something with absolutely perfectly coalesced "dudes rock" energy. This guy who has this incomprehensibly regular upload schedule of translated songs into Japanese including several by TMBG.

Kiss Me, Son of God is the first one that I encountered:

but there's also Ana Ng:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov684lA4kR0

and I found The Statue Got Me High way down there, but there's so much here I might have overlooked others:

EDIT TO ADD Puppet Head. Because I love Puppet Head, and so should everyone else

Bonus Yeh Yeh, which I include both because I quite enjoy the song and, hey, TMBG covered it too on Mink Car:

me, describing what's been coming out of my speakers for the past while: "i'm in awe. this guy, he's been so consistent about making these, for so long -- this channel goes back for years and years, there's nearly a thousand of these!"

her: "he's really the tom scott of japanese translation ukulele/kazoo covers of english language popular music"

(but then like. each of these only has double digit views, he's got like 500 subscribers and he's still kept at it for 6+ years. phenomenal dedication!!)

I want to live within a PLANNED ECONOMY
For no reason other than THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE GROCERY STORE LAYOUT ALLOWED

โ€ข how big is the area of this universal grocery store layout
โ€ข how do you handle different store needs, eg
---> a store with a high demand for kosher foods
---> a store in an area of high availability of fresh seafood
---> a store in a vacation area that needs to stock much more picnic supplies
โ€ข maybe you might say "planned economy would solve this" but: where do you put booze when the place doesn't allow cold booze to be sold, or booze to only be sold at certain times, or only certain types of booze, or booze has to be in a different but strangely connected shop (eg a Publix in Florida)

I mean this is a fun mental game to play. I've been going to the same grocery store since I was a little kid and between two ownership structures, three (or four?) different distribution suppliers, a handful of remodels, and them adding about 3000 square feet of extra floor space while I lived in a different country (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111) I can mostly remember where a given food was ... in 1999. Would love to have a standard layout, too. But how?????!!!!!

@NireBryce

store categories can expand but the layout must be the same ordering for it to be a humane experience

@lunasorcery

alphabetical leads to too many disputes over things like โ€œdoes Patakโ€™s Madras Spice Paste get sorted under P or M or S?โ€

arrange the items by UPC barcode number

Look, I think the exact order of food is not the most important part.

Instead, just make the store easy to navigate.

By making it one long hallway that twists and turns until it gets to the exit.

I do not wish to visit the Food IKEA
you cannot make me
Furniture IKEA already has too much food scattered around the aisle
Food IKEA is cursed

@estrogen-and-spite

Food ikea would end up with furniture scattered in the aisle.

No one knows where it comes from.
