Hey, fellow BlueSky peeps! My debut album 50/50-under the artist title Remember Today-is now live on many streaming platforms! Here's a few places you can find it. ⤵️ Check it out today! -Thom. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis... music.apple.com/us/album/50-... remembertoday.bandcamp.com/album/50-50

1️⃣ Lady Gaga-Bad Romance "Lady Gaga splintering the title of 'Bad Romance’ into sing-songy syllables, interspersing them with 'ooh la las' over industrial-dance synths revving up in dizzying fashion, gives the song's fairly simple production an illicit feel." Billboard, 11/13/09. #2009SongsTop20

2️⃣ Pearl Jam-Just Breathe "Pearl Jam-nearly 20 years into their run together-are now mature men with perspective. Eddie Vedder has acquired a rich, worldly croon, which he brings to a most dazzling effect on the lovely, unexpectedly pastoral 'Just Breathe'." The Guardian, 9/17/09. #2009SongsTop20

3️⃣ Wilco-You And I (w/Feist) "'You And I' is a deceptively simple love song that works brilliantly. Jeff Tweedy and Leslie Feist create an intimate, sweet atmosphere which deals in the good and bad of relationships-a desire for two people to make it work." Doubtful Sounds, 7/21/09. #2009SongsTop20

4️⃣ Phoenix-1901 "'1901' has immaculate production; the verse's glimmering rhythm guitars melt wonderfully into a ringing, wonderful chorus. New riffs emerge out of nowhere, yet are seamlessly integrated into the mix and the synths scream along with Thomas Mars." WordPress, 2/28/09. #2009SongsTop20

5️⃣ Dawes-When My Time Comes "23-year-old Taylor Goldsmith crafts elegant folk-pop revealing a centered songwriter who feels currents surrounding him, but he won’t be swept away. 'When My Time Comes' is a tacit admission that he has a lot of life yet to live." BuzzBands.LA, 5/11/09. #2009SongsTop20

6️⃣ Neko Case-This Tornado Loves You "'This Tornado Loves You' is a clever metaphor, a surreal ballad, and a laugh-out-loud absurdist goof. Neko Case’s poor twister is a beautiful path of destruction that leaves behind the first great love song of 2009." The Wesleyan Argus, 3/15/09. #2009SongsTop20

7️⃣ Eminem/Drake/Kanye West/Lil Wayne-Forever "'Forever', featured in the documentary 'More Than A Game' about NBA star LeBron James, unites these titans of rap for this one-off collab. Though all 4 MCs bring their A-game to the track, Eminem comes out MVP." Rolling Stone, 8/27/09. #2009SongsTop20

8️⃣ Florence + The Machine-Dog Days Are Over "'Dog Days Are Over' highlights the depth of Florence Welch's major talent. Her impassioned, fiery, gut-punching vocal blows among handclaps, pianos & bass drums all come together in a of furious, soulful sound-frenzy." Sputnik, 7/6/09. #2009SongsTop20

9️⃣ Metric-Gimmie Sympathy "'Gimme Sympathy' trades away heavy guitar presence in favour of full-on synth pop. Where some of their contemporaries could have put forth an off-the-mark attempt, Metric gives a fresh, sincere take that stays dance-fueled and memorable." Sputnik, 4/2/09. #2009SongsTop20

🔟 Jay-Z-Empire State Of Mind (w/Alicia Keys) "With Jay-Z playing a nonchalant NYC tour guide, and Alicia Keys' hook that swings for the Yankee Stadium upper deck, the concept of the New York City anthem found its magic with the unifying 'Empire State of Mind'." Pitchfork, 11/3/09. #2009SongsTop20

1️⃣1️⃣ Brandi Carlile-Dreams "Anyone familiar with Brandi Carlile knows her arresting singing skills; gorgeous tone and impeccable control. On 'Dreams', her voice rises to an ethereal falsetto, then pushes harder, mining the silver at the top of her head voice." PopMatters, 10/14/09. #2009SongsTop20

1️⃣2️⃣ La Roux-Bulletproof "La Roux managed to get people's backs up with only one hit single to her name because she is such an ardent 80's revivalist. She created the magic of 'Bulletproof' by looking backward at 80's electropop, which in its own time, looked forward." BBC, 6/15/09. #2009SongsTop20

1️⃣3️⃣ The Avett Brothers-I And Love And You "The Avett Brothers have found maturity in nuance to construct an epic ballad like this one. Pianos trickle before the storm, strings ball up their fists, while waves of sound wash over the Avetts’ sorghum-sweet harmonies." Paste, 9/29/09. #2009SongsTop20

1️⃣4️⃣ Bon Iver-Beach Baby "'Beach Baby’ takes the atmosphere of Wisconsin wilderness and relocates to a Hawaiian seafront and Waikiki-colored warm tones. Justin Vernon’s vocals keep an adrift focus to the song's arrangement. Present; yet never once gripping the wheel. Clash, 1/15/09. #2009SongsTop20

1️⃣5️⃣ Foo Fighters-Wheels "Foo Fighters’ ever-present self-awareness is still at play on 'Wheels'. The track delivers the vintage FF sound of four chord loops that nicely underscore Dave Grohl’s frustration as he mourns life’s failure to meet his expectations." Billboard, 10/9/09. #2009SongsTop20

1️⃣6️⃣ Grizzly Bear-Two Weeks "With a giddy piano rhythm, a love note to the Beach Boys vocal hook, and the repeated promise 'I told you I would stay', 'Two Weeks' is a perfect pop song that plasters a huge smile on your face. You try to resist it, but you fail." WordPress, 10/13/09. #2009SongsTop20

1️⃣7️⃣ Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit-Streetlights "What makes Isbell’s songwriting so compelling is his ability to take unique details about modern South life-e.g, an emotionally resonant track like 'Streetlights'-and use them to enhance a soulful and dense narrative." Slant, 2/15/09. #2009SongsTop20

1️⃣8️⃣ U2-No Line On The Horizon "U2, Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois have reunited, and it's instantly apparent on No Line's title track-a bashing, fuzzy juggernaut layered with Krautrock rhythms that harken back to the nocturnal urban sleaze-world of Achtung Baby." The Quietus, 2/21/09. #2009SongsTop20

1️⃣9️⃣ Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Heads Will Roll "Wielding a synth that shines like the blade of a guillotine, Karen O as the Queen of Hearts spits death warrants over a funeral-disco that is both brittle and lavish. A mashup of dance-floor meets The White Stripes." The Singles Jukebox, 6/9/09. #2009SongsTop20

2️⃣0️⃣ St. Vincent-Actor Out Of Work "Though Annie Clark's acerbic lyrics belie her crystalline voice, tough love never sounded sweeter in 'Actor Out of Work'-detailing in under 3 minutes a twin desire/inability to get an emotionally toxic someone out of her life." Pitchfork, 4/27/09. #2009SongsTop20

Who's your birthday twin?

Bruce Springsteen gave a rousing five-minute sermon about the “corruption in the White House,” calling out Attorney General Pam Bondi by name and ultimately imploring, “Let’s fight for the America we love. Are you with us?” The crowd of nearly 20,000 exploded.

Thank you so much, @juliemch.bsky.social for hosting us again! Thank you all for the love, appreciate you. 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Counting down one of the best years of music in recent memory was great reminder of how getting fresh takes from others pushes my own songwriting. See you all next time! 🏆💜👋🏻 #2017SongsTop20

1️⃣ Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit-If We Were Vampires "A bittersweet, melancholy song, 'If We Were Vampires' showcases Jason Isbell's fortitude as an acoustic performer and captures the deep questions that a finite life poses to any real love story." -Liv Stecker, The Boot, 5/18/17. #2017SongsTop20

2️⃣ Alvvays-Dreams Tonite "For songs that ask 'What might have been?' there exists an equal reality of 'What wasn’t.' As Molly Rankin looks back at a short-lived romance, she questions those two frames of mind, and the forces that separate lovers." -Amanda Wicks, Pitchfork, 7/26/17. #2017SongsTop20

3️⃣ Wolf Alice-Don't Delete The Kisses "'Don't Delete'...shows technicolor, cinematic ambition. In a hazy, whiskey-soaked evening through steamed-up taxi windows, Ellie Rowsell's inner monologue project out unedited as she falls-or rather stumbles-into love." -DIY Magazine, 7/5/17. #2017SongsTop20

4️⃣ Chastity Brown-Drive Slow "Chastity Brown’s thoughtful songwriting and careful attention to detail are on full display for 'Drive Slow.' 'That one's a song about taking one’s time and trying not to miss anything along the way.'” -Brittney McKenna/CB, American Songwriter, 5/3/17. #2017SongsTop20

5️⃣ Sylvan Esso-Die Young “'Die Young' is one of the strongest examples of how Sylvan Esso crafts sparse electropop gems with an easy, natural openness. Amelia Meath delivers memorable, folksy vocal hooks that have their own glowing darkness." -Andrew Paschal, Pop Matters, 3/13/17. #2017SongsTop20

6️⃣ Beck-Dear Life "With a jaunty roadhouse piano and sizzling guitar, 'Dear Life' is deeply inviting, down to the final la-la-la-las. Beck's complex lyrics question life itself in a sunny, upbeat pop song which doubles as a scream into the void." -Marc Hogan, Pitchfork, 8/24/17. #2017SongsTop20

7️⃣ The Hold Steady-Entitlement Crew "Regardless of where 'Entitlement Crew' could take place, Craig Finn does well with the setting; capturing fun evenings like this and nervous moments that come with them. It’s equal parts celebratory and anxious." -James Crowley, Atwood, 1/8/18. #2017SongsTop20

8️⃣ Big Thief-Mythological Beauty "The song is about the difficulties of motherhood, especially at a young age. 'Mythological Beauty' fills listeners with emotion and takes them on a journey, as if viewing Adrianne Lenker’s life through a camera roll." -Samuel Kesler, WQHS, 4/6/17. #2017SongsTop20

9️⃣ Bully-Running "Edgy bass, guitar and angsty vocals-which lyrically, Alicia Bognano describes as 'shamelessly keeping yourself distracted or making up excuses to avoid processing certain emotions', the song intensely emotes emergence into adulthood." -Lisa Nguyen, Paste, 8/30/17. #2017SongsTop20

🔟 The War On Drugs-Pain "'Pain' is about sadness, yet seems to search-even beg-for hope and understanding. The track's swirling guitars, whispering vocals and layers of instrumental dreaminess are the primary vessels of a cathartic release of musical bliss." -Carrie, IICM, 9/6/17. #2017SongsTop20

1️⃣1️⃣ Kurt Vile/Courtney Barnett-Over Everything "'Over Everything' shows how easy Vile and Barnett partner in creativity and reality, as the two trade sardonically existential observations and gnarled guitar riffs in this six-minute space-folk opus." -Marc Hogan, Pitchfork, 8/30/17. #2017SongsTop20
