You Are a Radio Star (Plus Zootopia Watch, Sorta)

   Odds are that you've seen the below video, and understand its significance in the world of, the very fabric of music video reality itself.


   Absolutely, monstrously insane fact that I learned this morning, though: the Buggles, as everyone knows, are the two-man tag team of Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, yet there's a seemingly third member in the video, most prominently around 2:53. No, it's not Bruce Woolley. It's not Snape. It's not even Voldemort.

   It's Hans Zimmer.

ZOOTOPIA WATCH sorta?
   With the very first film reviews already beginning to come out, this feature is beginning to seem kind of redundant, but I figure there are one or two more hurrahs left in this thing.

   More from the Zootopia and Hype thing from a couple days ago, anyway-- down in the comments, user "crossie" pointed this out,* and it was just so great that I'm going to assume that you didn't read through the comment thread so I'll just post the thing up here in its entirety (remember, we're talking about Zootopia and Hype):

Two words: Star Wars 
 Listening to furries worry about hyping a movie too much while a large chunk of the culture around them obsesses about an upcoming ‘Star Wars’ movie all through 2015 didn’t make any point other than furries are really, really unaware about what’s going on in the culture around them. 
 In 2016, it’s that, plus late. **

   Which, yes, is amazing, but I only decided to mention it today specifically because I only realized today, I'm one of the people who wasn't hyped for Force Awakens, but love it now.

   But I'm honestly not sure what that says.
*spelled in all lowercase like that and everything, apparently; the particular username has no links attached, though I'd be surprised if it weren't the same "crossie" as active community member Brendan "Crossaffliction" Kachel.
