The Doubleclicks perform "An Ode to Spot"
If you don't know who The Doubleclicks are, I wouldn't blame you. They still make some fun pop culture covers and filk songs. They're a fine example of how enthusiasm and good humor can compensate for technical errors. If you're a Tom Lehrer fan I'd also look for their cover of "L-Y".

The first teaser for the live-action Mulan has arrived.
I was surprised to see Rosalind Chao here, but I'm sure she'll do well.

There're even some Trek alumni in here: Ben Vereen (Geordi's dad, of course), Alfre Woodard (haven't seen her performance as Lily in years, First Contact is not one of my favorite Trek films), Brock Peters (quite a few roles, including Admiral Cartwright and Joseph Sisko). And the Amazing Thing That I Learned Today was that it was written by Jules Feiffer, who you should all know as the illustrator of The Phantom Tollbooth.

I don't think I've shilled NateWantsToBattle yet (totally different Nate, I don't have a YouTube channel (anymore, long story...) or the musical talent to do this kind of stuff)...
Red's Theme from Pokemon Gen 1 mashed with the Digimon theme. I still remember the idiots who called Digimon a Pokemon ripoff.

KJ was playing the Doubleclicks in the car just today.
 http://www.horg.com/horg/ Scientific classification and documentation of the various types of, uh, whatever you call the bread closure tags. Turns out there are a lot. It reminds me of the old Geocities(?) site that classified orange construction cones but only got up to like five "species".

Extra Credits starts to teach us how to play MTG.
To me this is gobbledygook, even with years of Yu-gi-oh under my belt. My brother was the MTG player. All I really know about the game is Black Lotus and Blacker Lotus. And the term "trample" which I will always use instead of "piercing."

The ocean sounds weird sometimes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_mean There's more beyond the golden ratio. http://www.abyssapexzine.com/wikihistory/ If time travelers had a discussion forum.

Here's where I'd post a link to the Star Trek: Picard trailer if I wasn't on an iPad right now.
I'm disturbed by the lack of plot hints being given in the name of pandering. To me this is a very bad sign, a sign that the creators don't trust their writing to stand up on it's own. By all means be vague, but the idea should be to make us ask "is that scene supposed to mean A or B", not "I have no idea what is going on!"

A podcast interviews Phil Farrand.
He certainly doesn't sound like I thought he would. He also recaps why there won't be more Nitpicker's Guides. I had long gone with "he can't risk spending this much time on something that might get him sued by Paramount." Whether Paramount could succeed in suing him (short version: no, but it would still be a huge hassle for him to prove that they can't). I didn't know that he was planning a Star Wars guide including the novels. I didn't know that it wasn't the Trek lawyers that scared off his publishers, it was the Wars lawyers. I almost wonder if this should be on the Amazing Things I Learned Today thread, but that seems to have died and I don't like necroposting if I can avoid it.

A new contender for "most obscure Star Trek music track to be covered by an orchestra."
The Bartender Bit from Trouble With Tribbles. I was surprised to find this. Of course an orchestra would cover the main themes, the Inner Light, etc., but something this minor was a surprise.
