What’s on Ulysses Klaue’s mix tape?

There’s a scene in Black Panther where the secondary villain, Ulysses Klaue (played by Andy Serkis), where he offers CIA agent Everett Ross (played by Serkis’ fellow Hobbit co-star Martin Freeman) a link to his Soundcloud mix tape. Later on, when interrogated, Klaue breaks into the early ’90s one-hit wonder hit, singing the “Don’t hurt me” refrain from What is Love by Haddaway.

These two little bits led me to wonder: what else is on Klaue’s mixtape? A number of fans are wondering too, so I though I’d put together this best guess. For those of you who didn’t know, I was a DJ at Crazy Go Nuts University in the early ’90s, so I know this stuff pretty well…

Haddaway — What is Love

KWS — Please Don’t Go

2 Unlimited — Get Ready for This

Urban Cookie Collective — The Key, The Secret

Black Box — Everybody Everybody

Crystal Waters — Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless)

2 in a Room — Wiggle It

Snow — Informer

Betty Boo — Doin’ the Do

Kris Kross – Jump

Messiah — Temple of Dreams

Rebel MC — Street Tuff

C&C Music Factory — Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)

Utah Saints

Sir Mix-a-Lot — Baby Got Back

Culture Beat — Mr. Vain

Right Said Fred — I’m Too Sexy

…and it was also a great day for a walk (as you may have learned from an earlier post of mine, walking breaks are good for you and your productivity). I took these photos around Sourcetoad’s office complex around noon.

I hope your Friday’s going well!

My car’s response to the current weather in Tampa is, well…very Tampa

Here’s how my car greeted me this morning:

“Oh, come on, you big baby,” I said to my dashboard. Surely this couldn’t be an engine warning! A car is a machine literally powered by exploding gasoline inside a four-stroke internal combustion engine. It’s “intake, compression, ignition, exhaust”, or as your raunchier mechanic friends will tell you:

A quick look at the manual — the online one, not the paper one in the glove compartment; we’re not animals — revealed that the default setting for the dashboard systems is to display the “Low Outside Temperature” warning when the engine’s on and the outside temperature is below 37°F (3°C, a.k.a. “almost warm enough to drink on the patio” temperature in Canada):

I changed the setting, because this whining about a couple of days of freezing cold in a place that’s a subtropical paradise the rest of the year shames us both.
