My favorite band released a video for one of their new album's songs about a month ago and it was, unexpectedly, AI as gently caress. Enjoy:

This is really good.

Also makes me really want to go to my local dirt track. It's just 15min from me but I've never been.

Mogwai is a bit more obscure than Explosions, though I get that it's weird that you'd know about one and not the other because they're two big fishes in a smaller pond

Remember that Explosions did the Friday Nights Live soundtrack, that was pretty huge for mainstream exposure

Anyhow, since I should post content, I watched this awhile ago and really enjoyed it, it's the best build breakdown of theirs I've seen so far:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztgvTY5H7PY

I first saw Matt Farah do a really intriguing One Take of it but this video is way more wild, and you get a lot closer. Awesome build/owner

(Def watch the One Take if you like that stuff, it's one of the better ones, Matt gets genuinely HYPED)

No checking out of Mogwai is complete without listening to:

I have no idea how the hell I forgot about Mogwai, but I did. This is some seriously amazing stuff. I want to say the last time I heard anything from them was probably 10-15 years ago. :sigh:

Explosions in the Sky is something I'd heard of in passing, but never really listened to.

e: thanks jerks, Mogwai's latest has been on repeat all day.

Or the Disgustang episode just really wasn't all that interesting compared to something like Stubby Bob.

The episode that's currently on MTOD with them loving around at Dirtfish in a bunch of their cars is pretty good I think.

counterpoint: project binky

I surmise that Roadkill's popularity on these here forums waned for a few reasons
- Media acquisition and mainstream audience growth has evolved the core concept from the original concept
- Paid subscriptions have fractured the audience. People who subscribe to MOTD and watch the latest episodes won't mention/discuss it here, to avoid spoiling it for others. By the time those episodes escape the paywall and can be embedded/shared, the biggest fans have already moved on to the new hotness.

It was a good episode, I watched it but had nothing to contribute.

This is definitely what the biggest thing for me. I used to get excited to see a new ep was up in this thread, but with MTOD its all old news. Dirtfish shootout was good but not great.

Roadkill garage is the best exclusive part of MTOD though.

They've been pretty consistent about one per month, usually on the first Friday of the month. AFAIK the last deviation from that schedule was caused by MCM vs. Roadkill being scheduled for a Christmas Day release. The Dirtfish episode should go public on March 2, and I'd expect that MTOD will see a new episode on February 23.

Trabant was my parent's first car. I still remember our passenger side door coming off in middle of a corner because one of the very few metal parts, the door hinges, were rusted through.

The first car I remember my grandfather having was a white Skoda 105L. I thought it was so wild that there was no engine under the bonnet! He's in his 90s now and slowly succumbing to dementia, I've been looking for one for sale with the same exterior and interior so that I can take him for some rides and relive some memories with him :unsmith:

Our family's first car was a ZAZ-968M so we also got the rear-engine RWD goodness before Porsche made it cool.

I went to his meetup in Cleveland when he was driving the Aston across the country, he is seriously exactly the same person in reality as you'd expect from his videos. He was legitimately interested in every weird quirk of the cars that showed up, the weirder the better. The Ferrari 430 didn't really even get a second glance except when the driver backed it in to a handicap sign, but the V10 TDI Touareg ended up with a swarm of car nerds checking it out from every angle.
