Bad Bunny will headline next year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. We know this. It’s become a whole political issue, with Donald Trump weighing in and everything. Now, the NFL has announced the list of artists who will perform on next year’s Super Bowl pregame show, and someone will probably find a way to get mad about that, too.

Paul Anka started out as a teen idol in the ’50s before embarking on a near-endless career as a Las Vegas entertainment fixture. Along the way, Anka, now 84, became one of the diminishing number of living people who can claim to have seen Frank Sinatra’s penis in the flesh.

Grimes is a fan of Bryan Johnson, the multimillionaire and immortality influencer who spends his time trying to fight death. He is perhaps best known for undergoing plasma transfusions with donations from his teenage son a few years ago.

The Aphex Twin fan experience can be quite piecemeal. Sometimes Richard D. James gives us carefully curated packages like last year’s Selected Ambient Works reissue. And sometimes we get unpolished gems dumped onto the internet with haphazard filenames. So it went on Thanksgiving, when James posted two versions of a track called “Zahl am1” to…
