Here is this week's installment of songs that sounded interesting to me.

Here are a bunch of songs that caught my ear for one reason or another this week. 6/13/26-6/20/26

Here's some of the interesting things that I've heard this week on my library shuffle. If you would be more interested in this as a Spotify or SoundCloud (etc) playlist, let me know.

Just the highlights of what I have been listening to this week.

You are not machine men, with machine minds, and machine hearts.

This is the stranger's case; and this your mountainous inhumanity.

The consumption of McDonalds started in the 1950’s and has rapidly grown. Narcissists have become increasingly common in the last few decades, especially in the US. Therefore McDonalds causes narcissism It should be banned Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This is the stranger's case; and this your mountainous inhumanity.

I want to thank @slotkin.senate.gov for the useful information in her newsletter about what the "big beautiful bill" will mean for us MICHIGANDERS down the road, and most especially for the link to a calculator for what my costs are estimated to be, since I use the Marketplace through the ACA.

It's almost as if capitalism can't function without some form of slavery 🤔

Oh and I, I want all the leaders of the third world to answer to me I want to be King I want to be King So maybe now the Pope will bow and kiss my ring I wanna be king, king, king, king I swear to God I know what I want and I need Oh I need, yeah I want to be king I want to be king, yes I do

I put this up there with the Hendrix version, and they inject a lot of the raw Detroit vibe in it.

This has been stuck in my head today. Ren is such an interesting and talented artist.

He did it. Twice.

It's the geriatric narcissistic oligarch Olympics And I got a front row seat The bank owns the car, we rent the house But at least we paid for the street

When the war gets here, we're all gonna hold hands All the Baptists and the Catholics All the Marxists and the Fascists When the war gets here, we're going get on the level Everyone looks a little bit nicer When you finally meet the devil

We’re the first ones to starve, we’re the first ones to die The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky And we’re always the last when the cream is shared out For the worker is working when the fat cat’s about.

I awakened to the cry that the people have the power to redeem the work of fools upon the meek the graces shower it's decreed the people rule The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power

Today's Bible study is: Psalm 109:7-18

So if you meet with these historians I'll tell you what to say Tell them that the Nazis Never really went away They're out there burning houses down And peddling racist lies And we'll never rest again... Until every Nazi dies...
