Listened more closely to 's Where I'm Coming. What an interesting collection! The opening track reminds me of Bach and psychedelic music at the same time (if that's possible). "Something Out of the Blue" sounds -ish. And "I Want to Talk to You" is delightfully strange, with voices reminiscent of the cartoons that I watched as a kid. "Never Dreamed You'd Leave" is more aligned with the ballads he is best known for, but more evocative. Cool to see this wide range.

Did you know Fatboy Slim used some wild samples to create ‘Praise You’? 🤯 Highlights include samples from #MickeyMouseDisco and the theme from #FatAlbert! 🎶 Jump to 7:23 to hear the breakdown, but trust me—the whole video is a must-watch for #DanceMusic fans! 🕺💃

A two-panel format meme. On the left is Fat Albert, on the right is Bert from sesame street holding a gun and a knife. Both are shown with the all-lowercase hashtag "fatalbert".

This week I welcome the amazing Australian maker of "docos", writer, journalist, and all around character John Safran to TV Guidance Counselor to talk everything from Fat Albert to The Croc Hunter. This is a really fun one.

Character mock-ups for the first Fat Albert special (‘69), by animator Leo Sullivan. Also the advertisement for the special, and the cover of Herbie Hancock’s “Fat Albert Rotunda”, which collects the numbers that he wrote for the soundtrack. I know Bill Cosby is a bad guy, but what good was ever in him certainly found its purest expression in the character of Fat Albert. I will always rep Albert. And the soundtrack is, of course, amazing. #FatAlbert
