Doing a radio show for over 21 years teaches you a lot—mainly that people ALWAYS want authentic connection. Music still brings us together in a way nothing else can. For example, meeting, interviewing and hangout with Bottlecap Mountain. #MusicCommunity

Always a perfect song! Bottlecap Mountain - Kool - Official Music Video youtu.be/Yn88xlXIG8E?...

Another gem from one of New Zealand’s finest! A perfect salve for the times!

Done! Yup, definitively a mood booster! Just the kind of nice, heartfelt indie Rock that the doctor ordered, spiced with the slightest bits of experimental ideas to keep you on your toes. Really well done, @bottlecapmountain.bsky.social! Highly, highly recommended!

Turns out I enjoy projects splintered off of Frayed Flag as much as I enjoy FF themselves. Gentle, a bit stark, and hopeful. 👍

#MusicChallenge #ScoreTheStill 7/12 “Just My Memories” by Bottlecap Mountain @bottlecapmountain.bsky.social m.youtube.com/watch?v=EXdb...

Suzanne Vega’s Luka and 10,000 Maniacs’ What’s the Matter Here are the Deep Impact and Armageddon of excellent jangle pop songs about child abuse from 1987.

Looks like things are going really well over there at the bad place, judging by the number of “…has added you to a group conversation” email notifications I am getting on some dormant and forgotten account I have there. Dick pills, crypto, smut, AI slop. Bots bots bots. 👍

Once a crook, always a crook

Kind of fascinating that of these 20 songs three of them are covers, and two of THOSE are covers of Tommy James and the Shondells songs

Sometimes I get frustrated with trying to make cool things, since we all live in a world where Cibo Matto (and Michel Gondry) made the coolest thing that could ever BE made, almost 30 years ago.

Come on out Saturday, have a couple of coldies and watch the sunset from the patio! I got a new pair of shoes and I’m wearing em. We’re talking hardcore fun, man

YES HA HA HA YES

#soundtracksunday It’s Easter, and even though this isn’t a soundtrack it became a movie and a million productions, and I’m going with this one over any of the myriad other, inferior versions.

I am a huge ONJ fan and I will never apologize for it. This soundtrack rules. But, as entertaining and bizarre as it is, and as much as it pains me to say it, this movie is terrible. #soundtracksunday

THIS IS MY TEAMS CALL. THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE IS MINE. MY TEAMS CALL IS MY BEST FRIEND. WITHOUT ME MY TEAMS CALL IS USELESS. WITHOUT MY TEAMS CALL I AM USELESS.

Hands Off, Texas Capitol.
