The most popular song in the universe right now is Running Up That Hill by art-pop super queen Kate Bush. The most common comment about that song I see on the 'net is "Hey, have you heard the Placebo cover?" Yeah, I own that on CD. The second most common question: "Would Max from Stranger Things actually be listening to Kate Bush?" See, I thought the big "plan falls apart for the gang" moment would be when Max's Walkman -- truly, the uncredited hero of the series -- ran out of batteries for the 98th time, or the cassette unraveled or warped or got put too close to a refrigerator magnet. I didn't think the final boss interloper would be Alex from Stardew Valley doing Varsity Captain America and, you know, physically stepping on the Walkman.
