Still in Gen X nostalgia mode. I discovered these guys (Twinsthenewtrend) during Covid. Their first reaction to Phil Collins's “In the Air Tonight“ not only went viral, but the publicity caused the song to reach #2 on the iTunes top songs sales for August 18 and 19 in 2020, almost 40 years after its release.

Listening to Phil today. 🥁

Suet624 I love watching folks reactions to songs that are embedded in our lived experience. (edited) 12h

dabbe @Suet624 I'd like to hope it's not fake because they seem to have a genuine response! Their reaction to Dolly Parton's JOLENE and Led Zeppelin's IMMIGRANT SONG are hoots, too. 11h

lil1inblue Too funny. I just commented on another post that Phil was among my first 3 cassettes (not the one with this song, though). I just love him. 😍 10h

lil1inblue @dabbe @amiable Also, I highly recommend this piece from This American Life that includes Phil himself! https://www.thisamericanlife.org/339/break-up/act-one-32 10h

dabbe @Amiable #dittomydear! I hate that he ruined his back by playing drums all those years. 😢

dabbe @lil1inblue Ooh, thanks for this! 💙 10h

Bookwormjillk @lil1inblue that was such a great episode of This American Life. Thanks for the reminder! 9h

TieDyeDude I dropped everything mentally and did the drum breakdown in my head just now 😋 8h

Hooked_on_books When I read this post, I immediately heard that drum riff in my head. Phil forever! 7h

Hooked_on_books I just went and watched their video. Phil Collins is such an indelible part of my childhood that it‘s hard to imagine someone who has never heard his songs. It was fun watching them discover him. 7h

Reggie One of my favorite episodes of family guy is a take on Poltergeist and right before one of the breaks, it has to do with Stewie, there‘s that Phil Collins drum riff. lol 5h

dabbe @TieDyeDude Somehow I just knew that you would. 🤣🤩🫂 4h

dabbe @Hooked_on_books One of the best riffs ever. #iconic 💙🩶🖤 4h

dabbe @Hooked_on_books And it was the drum riff that blew them out of their seats. Oh, they are a hoot. If you want to visit (ahem) classic music through a (what the heck are they--Gen Z?) youngster's innocence, there are a ton to watch. It's been my zen. 💙🩶🖤 4h

dabbe @Reggie This is what I love about pop culture. Look at all of those allusions/connections you cited. So someone who did not grow up in the 70s-80s now knows Phil Collins. Maybe not his name but his riff. 🎶 4h

There are not many viral things I cave to. In fact if it gets popular it is usually an automatic turn off for me and it will take me years to pick up the media (if I do at all) but I have been completely swept away by these men 😍
Starting the audio so maybe I will not watch the show a 3rd time 😂

Weirdly my library had #2 in the series but #1 is a many months wait

BkClubCare OMG! 🏒 I only saw one lil reference to this and then someone posted Roxane Guy's review and so... guess what I did? Checked my Libby to see if available. The ebook has holds for 22 weeks BUT! The audio was available!!! 😆 so, I will be listening to this in between my Edith Wharton bio. 1d

ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare yes!!! We can discuss!! Did you watch the show? I am so excited to compare, but am willing to talk either or. 1d

ncsufoxes Hoopla had them to borrow as ebooks 1d

zezeki I lost count of how many times I watched it at this point! 😅 I've read both of the books from the series that are about them, and a few days ago, it was announced that there will be a 3rd book about them coming out in September. 22h

CarolynM I am hopelessly addicted to this book. The TV series is pretty good, but the book is funnier. Hope you enjoy. 19h

CarolynM I am hopelessly addicted to this book, it has got me through some difficult times in the last few years. The TV series is pretty good, but the book is funnier. Hope you enjoy. 19h

ChaoticMissAdventures @CarolynM there has been chatter about how much the show pulls from and mirrors Pride & Prejudice 2005 and I had been thinking about that when I first watched the show, and I am so glad others are picking up on it. The Yearning! I love it. 13h

BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - didn't realize there was a show until I was doing more "research" ? 12h

ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare my understanding is that it is only available in Canada and the US right now. 11h

I love this author and this was another beautiful book. Set in the 1800s and featuring mystery, a non traditional vampire, and a strong FMC. 4⭐️ Loved this Book #2 in 2026

so-so

confession: book #3 is on a ready challenge list I saw and was hoping to do this year but golly this book was so long and drawn out with too many small side stories that did not add to the overall storyline. normally at this point I'd just move on but going to attempt #2. There is neurodivergent representation which is nice but with the opposite being a superiority complex I just didn't love it.
