Welp, it's out in the world now. A band I work with recorded a terrible song I wrote, and it's now available for listening, streaming, purchase etc.
There's even a lyric video.
You were warned.

New music this week from Pearl Jam, Lola Young, sombr, Billy Nomates, Sunken, Rain Parade, Chuck D, Sunflower Bean, Ben Lee, Tune-Yards, Janita and much more! Enjoy!
Until 4 days ago, I had never heard of the artist who calls himself sombr. Apparently I'm the 30,225,156th person to get into his music. Okay, I'm late to the party, but I like what I'm hearing. I know, I know, I'm no longer one of the cool kids. He just never turned up in the places I go hunting for music.
Now I've never been a fan of Ye (Kanye West). Supposedly he was a genius arranger and rapper but for my tastes I'd rather have Dre, Chuck D or Ice-T. But holy fucking shit I'm not going to play his new single. I mean holy fucking shit (again) what the hell happened to this guy? Can someone please suggest a brain scan for the guy? He might be seriously ill.
Okay, "might" is pretty weak under the circumstances. The man might need a Sybil level psychiatrist at this point.
I talked a bit last week about what it takes to get on one of my playlists, there are also things that will make me drop your music into the trash imediately and praising Hitler is one of them. I mean I feel filthy giving it a few seconds of listening.
And dude, overmodulated synths are not back. They're just not.

Yes, I am that guy you may have heard trending on Instagram.
No, I'm not on Instagram myself.
I'm at a loss as to how this happened.
But I have no problem with it.

She was most famous for "I Kissed A Girl" but I much prefer this song from the same album.

For reasons I do not understand my track "The Coastal Route" from the album "The Overnight Train" is getting a lot of streams. I haven't promoted this track anywhere, and the streams are coming in all over the globe.
Don't get me wrong, I'll take it and happily take more, but I have no idea why it's happening.
Here is a link to the track in question, just for fun. This is the Spotify link, but it's available on yorur favorite platform too.

This image shows up for about 0.2 seconds in the intro to the new anime "Rock ha lady no Nashimi deshita"
I just about fell out of my chair. If you know, you know.

I'm pretty terrible at selfies and almost never take them. But I need to give a shoutout to @yamino, who created these.
The whole family got them.

See what happens when I miss a couple of weeks? Such a backlog! New music from Envy of None, My Morning Jacket, Lucy Ducas, Orchards, Avi Kaplan, Little Feat, The Darkness, Uwade, Tetrarch and so much more it boggles the mind. Enjoy!
This is by far the longest pplaylist I've ever done, so take your time with it - stream in batches if you need. It's 129 songs and runs for hours and hours. I picked one hell of a time to move and not have internet access, eh?
Back to normal next week. Whatever the fuck that is.
By the way, track 114 by Marlon Williams is sung in the New Zealander's naitive Maori language.

Please give a moment's thought to the Penguins of The Heard and McDonald islands - hit with a 10% tariff by a fucking idiot today despite the fact that they export nothing, becuase no humans live there.
