We'd be alright. If Sergio Mendes was driving the world, from behind the piano. Then we'd be alright. #music

With the birth rate steadily going down, will that reverse the dumbing-down of pop music's artistic standards from junior high to maybe high school level? Or college-age (like the 60's and 70's)?

"Blinding Lights" by the Weekend, is the most successful single song of all time. A middle-school boy's favorite song is 46-year-old arena hair band "Don't Stop Believin'". Can we bring back the cigar-smoking record company guys? #spotifysucks #popmusic

Harrumph. We'll harrumph away his crimes. Harrumph, harrumph. He's immune. Harrumph. Alito, Thomas. Harrumph. Kavanaugh, Gorsuch. He can't be put in a cell. We'll harrumph away 250 years of history. Harrumph.

If we're using Citizens, we all need to change banks tomorrow morning.

Claire has a brand new tune out, video drops tomorrow. She's true and real and connects with everything she does. #electropop #newmusic #nashville

Never let some guy on Bluesky tell you what music to see. Except Kat Edmonson in LA July 26, trust me on this. #music #singersongwriter

An angry, frightened minority of people would happily replace the whole concept of the US, our constitution, bill of rights, justice system, and a free press and elections, with a system where one man rules totally over everything.

Hey faithful MAGA voters. He treats you like he thinks you’re complete idiots.

Has anyone considered that his handlers might not be trying too hard to talk him out of being in harm's way, because, considering his obvious physical and mental decline, the martyr/sympathy route might be their only path to staying in power?

MAGA is: the man who rage-screams threats at a woman driving alone in front of them, who wouldn't do it if the woman's husband was in the passenger seat.

His parents aren't alive to ask them, but what in anyone's upbringing could create someone like this? The staggering, shameless, disgraceful, proud and total lack of honesty and integrity that is Marco? #shame

Just a really cool song to reset your dial. That is all. #andersonpaak

This band, out of New Orleans, is making a buzz. And touring near you. Twisted Teens. Good old rock and roll and then some. #musicsky #Indierock

For awhile it was crackpot music guys yelling “BOYCOTT!!” but now respected pundits are calling for it. #nocbs #noparamount

You DON"T have to love JAZZ to love LUCY! Her DEADLY low notes will SLAY you, and you WILL LOVE Lucy! A ferocious musical BOSS, swings like a freight train coming through. You can tell the musicians ADORE playing with her. Presave her new album it's out June 19. #vocals #music

Nearly all successful, brilliant, all-time music greats are "idiot libs", but a tiny number of really crappy has-beens from the past like Vanilla Ice, Kid Rock and Ted Nugent are holding firm representing the artistic tastes of the hammerheads who are right about everything. Got it. #freedom250

Jesus. Stop watching CBS. I don’t care that you love 60 Minutes. This company is in dumps back pocket and no longer stands for journalistic excellence. STOP WATCHING CBS.

Don't get why more people aren't pounding this. They care about $.

Rage against the dumbing down with this amazing boss, Astrid, who presents info in a delightful way and is also a fine musician.

One of the best singers on the planet, Laura Anglade. Her vocals when self-accompanied with ukulele have an even more relaxed and flowing vibe than her usual fronting a trio. She’s a total master either way. #singing

All Bluesky people should follow Stephen Colbert's new Youtube channel. #nocbs

This tactic works with Republicans, from calling hero fighter pilot George McGovern a pansy, to mocking John McCain’s service, to drunk blowhard Pete Hegseth deciding who’s worthy of serving.

Could it be that we've all been completely wrong about every single thing we've ever experienced since the second we were born, and Todd Blanche has it right?

Terry Gross, during Flea's interview telling him she doesn't understand why "Wichita Lineman" is considered a great song. NPR's great, but they should reconsider their lifetime appointment system. #musicsky

When the bell rings, we still have Americans that answer it, at whatever cost. *this song is extra delicious to play while reading any JD Vance quotes. #catsonacouch

The opening riff of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”. Does every generation have a counterpart to that? #music

A schoolboy in 2026 saying "I don't care about songs from today, my song is "Don't Stop Believin'". It's like a schoolboy from 1969 saying, "Nah, don't know Led Zeppelin or the Stones - my song is "California Here I Come". #spotifysucks

My family mocks me because I get "museum legs" 20 minutes in. Oh, sweet validation.

This is absolutely the most spot-on thing ever.

Tea cakes, my ass. These are little kid’s dessert cookies.

When a music writer for a big publication says "users started spreading her single" why do I think they're leaving out the behind-the-scenes industry funny business that actually made everyone spread the billion-streamed single? The consuming public doesn't care anyway.

If you're near Lawrence, Massachusetts this Saturday May 9 come to this FREE album release show by Wicked Dark Shark that I was lucky enough to play some keys on, and also remember that SILENCE IS COMPLICITY. #indierock

People who run social media accounts consisting of only reposts from other people and none of their own make me mad.

Do your part to reaffirm what's important in this world and what will still apply no matter how much dumbing-down the oligarchs and bros do to the arts by pre-ordering the new release by the incomparable Maya de Vitry recorded live and real-time for the sake of music and music only. #music

"Spotify sucks, profoundly. It's toxic." "Well...ahem...I agree, harrumph, harrumph...you don't know what it's like...gotta be realistic, harrumph, cough...(sound of shrinking testicles)...Here's my Spotify link!" #spotifysucks

If you can sing, play, and write your butt off, and you’re brilliant, you‘ll bang your head against the wall while Charlie Puth is worth 35M $. We’re all 12 years old. #spotifysucks

In our *omnipotent benevolence* VERYBIGMUSIC hereby proclaims this the most ferocious vocal track in the history of the universe.🪐 #rhythmandblues

Martha Hill is from Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. You’ll be happy you discovered this. #altpop #alternative

Take a break from the noise with the bare-bones beauty of this little song. #indiemusic

Even he's not this stupid - he and his handlers truly think his followers are morons. Karoline Leavitt says "Only President Trump could save the lives of these 8 beautiful Iranian women" - who are obviously AI-generated Instagram-y teenager faces.

Who decides that Sarah Palin, Rudy Giuliani and Ben Carson are kept completely off the playing field? Their idiocy provided a lot of amusement.

These songs, and this music, matter. So do the young musicians that have dedicated their lives to playing it. Their uncompromising honesty, purity, and outright mastery, will move you to tears. #singing #jazz

Can't listen to high-schooly-sounding Maren Morris or contemporary Nashville in general. But when she walks into a room, I'd stand up out of respect. She's a boss, you can look up why. #marenmorris #integrity

Songwriting 101, class begins now #peterholsapple

If a slug-like, larval alien without any concept of ethical principles took on human form, it would look and sound like speaker Mike Johnson.

In the 60's, when the Republican Party was really getting its racist wings with the "Southern Strategy", they used the phrase "soft on crime" to smear the Democrats. Now he's using it to smear the pope like someone running against him in an election.

He's weak. Like Biden. A strong leader would go into Hungary, capture and imprison the radical left cheater, and reinstall Orban, who won - BY A LOT!!!

Red Garland was a ferocious master total music boss-man, and all without breaking a sweat. Damn. With Coltrane. #redgarland

This christofascist evangelical white-power thing is driving the bus right now. Look up "Hegseth threatens Catholic Church".
