Song Of The Day(ish) 344 makes my eyes water with sadness and anger. i'm stewing in music again as my country dies before my eyes. Mr. Guthrie, we need your machine now more than ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjQE... #SOTD #WoodyGuthrie #Deportee #DeporteePlaneWreckAtLosGatos

fucking this 👇

"neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night nor long working days nor shitty traffic nor monotonous, micro-managed working conditions stays the large percentage of these couriers from the somewhat swift completion of their appointed rounds. i guess. whatever."

thank you to @deeper80s.bsky.social for the reminder we haven't had Arcadia on our Song Of The Day(ish) list yet. SOTD 343 knows my weakness, call it déja-vu... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt-u... #SOTD #Arcadia #TheFlame i consider this album Duran's fourth, temporary breakup be damned...

somehow vance is able to take the usual "effectively useless" VP role and turn it into something wholly vulgar and unlikeable.

no notes... 👇

swoon... #HoldIt #TouchIt

this brings to mind @cartyrubble.bsky.social's mix i posted as a Song Of The Day(ish) last november. posting again unofficially since i try not to post duplicates to the SOTD list. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmDr... if you're not familiar with Carty's mixes, all i can say is [Chef Kiss]👌...

huge thanks to @antpeople.bsky.social for inspiring our next Song Of The Day(ish). i've wanted an excuse to share a song off Persuasion :) SOTD 342 melts in your mouth not your hand... www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbku... #SOTD #AdamAnt #BrainCandy this always felt similar to early 90s Duran to me.

i'm excited for this, though i have to say i am really sad that thirty years later we still are not able to get any official tracks released from the "lost" Persuasion album. i mean, sure, i *have* that album bootlegged already, but still it would be cool to see even one song publicly available.

i feel both seen and called out. i'll take my blood pressure any way i choose, thank you very much...

spending time today with some surf and guitar instrumentals... today's Song Of The Day(ish) is a little Duane Eddy for your listening enjoyment. SOTD 341 drinks in that twangy sound... www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQxe... #SOTD #DuaneEddy #TheLonelyOne

caution: i may have a license to ill

remember when we had a well-intentioned, thoughtful, articulate, and educated person at the helm?

been spending time with recent(ish) garage/blues revival stuff which inspired another Song Of The Day(ish) for you all to enjoy. SOTD 340 tells me now and shows me how to understand what makes a good man... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUbY... #SOTD #TheHeavy #WhatMakesAGoodMan

i feel this so powerfully in my bones...

aaaand i've published strip #26 of my #Trumpy political satire series. won't someone please pray for poor, war-ravaged Portland? 🙏 if this resonates at all for you, please consider sharing this out into the great big world out there... #ShineALight #NoKings

it's been a few years since this ran... let's check in and see how we're doing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7Y-... (thanks to @simonjester007.bsky.social for resurfacing this)

alright, then, Josh called it. everyone stop what you're doing and let's do the Time Warp again... youtu.be/S91wQbYYX3Q not an official Song Of The Day(ish) since we already featured this in March. let's f'n do this...

ruin a movie by replacing one word in the title with the word "sausage". On Sausage Pond Sausage Can Wait Big Trouble In Little Sausage Sausage Vs Predator Who Sausaged Roger Rabbit? The Sausage Of Oz

huge thanks to @darickr.bsky.social for reminding me it's time for some more Adam in our Sing Of The Day(ish) list! (i picked a different song to run with, though) SOTD 339 unplugs the jukebox and does us all a favor... #SOTD #AdamAndTheAnts #AdamAnt #Antmusic

just dropped strip #25 in my #Trumpy satire series. every like, report, and sharing of this strip is super helpful and greatly appreciated. #ShineALight #NoKings

sitting with some moody stuff this morning, this Song Of The Day(ish) comes from one of my favorite albums of the 00s. SOTD 338 tells me just to work right through it... www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPSH... #SOTD #SheWantsRevenge #RedFlagsAndLongNights

i came across this specific Song Of The Day(ish)'s performance and knew immediately i had to share it. her anger and anguish are palpable. SOTD 337 can't stand the pressure much longer, somebody say a prayer... www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ25... #SOTD #NinaSimone #MississippiGoddam

the intention for this Song Of The Day(ish) was to share the Johnny Cash version of this song, but i landed on an old 1940's take instead. SOTD 336's been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee... www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mzG... #SOTD #GoldenGateQuartet #GodsGonnaCutEmDown

subtly downgrade a band The B51s Eight Inch Nails Adam & the Gnats Gary Oldman Ralentis Mode

spent some time in my rockabilly lists and landed on this favorite Song Of The Day(ish) to share. SOTD 335's satisfied smile tells me its not all right... www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOvQ... #SOTD #HorrorPops #MissTake

two days on a #Trumpy satire strip, including an ass-ton of research and citation, only to admit to myself it wasn't landing right and ditching the whole thing. it's the right call, happy to move on, but DAMN i'm mad over what i could have been doing instead. goodnight, kids...

always happy to repost some Adam when i see it...

ok, Poppies... i've been meaning to post this Song Of The Day(ish) that's been on repeat in my brain for days. SOTD 334's cookin' up new tricks, lookin' for a new kick, found a new sound, found that it sticks... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkDl... #SOTD #PWEI #PopWillEatItself #DanceOfTheMadBastards

just finished watching the Devo documentary on Netflix, and am left with this favorite Song Of The Day(ish) as the film closes. SOTD 333 goes right on making more and more of one dumb thing... www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ub9... #SOTD #Devo #OneDumbThing Duty Now, spuds!

i recognize 11 names playing Coachella this year... gonna count that as a check in the not-old-yet category. not having Wet Leg headline is a missed opportunity.

a very Happy Birthday Song Of The Day(ish) to @joshcrewsreally.bsky.social! SOTD 332 can't be critical, a heart won't stop... youtu.be/6iZdL43VOIg #SOTD #TalkingHeads #HappyDay

this Song Of the Day(ish) has been a favorite since i first heard it on KROQ back in the day. it currently feels like we're all trapped in the car. SOTD 331 shouts stop this car on the way to disaster, stop this car, wanna get out... www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TY0... #SOTD #Woodentops #StopThisCar

finally getting life settled enough to put time back into my #Trumpy satire strip. #24 just dropped a moment ago. if this resonates at all for you, please like, repost, and share across your social spaces. #ShineALight #NoKings

Ranking Roger sums this up nicely in the opening... "this next one's about violence, and how stupid violence really is." thank you @adamtlevitt.bsky.social for sharing this one. very timely, and sadly still relevant 40+ years later.

this Song Of The Day(ish) owes many thanks to @grossgiirl.bsky.social for turning me on to Venjent. this is exactly what i would be listening to 24/7 if i were in art school today. SOTD 330 holds on to something dear when it's over... www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Bx... #SOTD #Venjent #HammerItHome

huge thanks to @joshcrewsreally.bsky.social for inspiring this brand new Song Of The Day(ish), it just dropped! Sparks and Gorillaz? yes, please! SOTD 329 is the one to save your soul, amen... www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG_n... #SOTD #Gorillaz #Sparks #TheHappyDictator @grossgiirl.bsky.social ☝️

yo @joshcrewsreally.bsky.social... new Sparks dropped yesterday: www.youtube.com/watch?v=COrB...

hey pop... spending some time with an old project of yours in an effort to pitch it and bring it back to life again. this one isn't for Studio G, it would be Marvelous to win a green light on it it's good to see your work and read your handwritten liner notes. i feel like you're here with me.

i saw Superman today at an AMC 30 cineplex, and it reminded me of a gag in Bachelor Party that would be lost on today's youngins. during the chase scene at the end, they wind up at a Mann 36 (actually a Mann 6 in my hometown). having so many theaters was seen as ridiculous. times have changed.

this Song Of The Day(ish) is inspired by and dedicated to @jamesgunn.bsky.social l and everyone involved with Superman. it was wonderful. SOTD 329 listens to the music with no fear... www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lYI... #SOTD #Teddybears #IggyPop #Punkrocker

finally got to see Superman today with the family, and i thought it was awesome. it was particularly satisfying to see how excited my son was at the end, he is only just barely older than i was when i saw Superman The Movie for the first time. today, we were both excited boys with our hero.

and a second Prince Buster Song Of The Day(ish) to remember him today, with thanks to @punkandnewwave.bsky.social for these music history posts. SOTD 328 reminds us the years go by, as quickly as you wink... www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZXn... #SOTD #PrinceBuster #EnjoyYourself

thanks to @punkandnewwave.bsky.social for this reminder, and may this Prince continued to be remembered. SOTD 327 rolls around heaven all day... www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvFo... #SOTD #PrinceBuster #WashYourTroublesAway

feeling some darker grooves and a sexy club beat for this next Song Of The Day(ish). this is where i like to sit while doing arty creative stuff. SOTD 326 slips down the shaft of hell... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySFM... #SOTD #FrontLineAssembly #ShiftingThroughTheLens

doctor i trust more that RFK Jr "you understand the nerves were completely severed, Mr. Napier... you see what i have to work with here..."

DoorDasher: "thank you, enjoy your meal." me: "you too." 🤦‍♂️

i won't make this an official Song Of The Day(ish), but i do want to thank @postpunkandnewwave.bsky.social for inadvertently helping me recall this favorite from Men At Work: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYBK... #ColinHay #MenAtWork
