#NP The Sunday before Christmas seems a perfect time to spin this seasonal classic 🎶🎄⛄🎅 #musicsky #albumalmanac

CD shopping for me

The Monkees sing "Riu Chiu". 100 seconds of beautiful vocal work, with a bonus moment where as Micky sings, Peter and Davy exchange a look of pure delight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=riG8...

@kenwhite.bsky.social Would you expect anything less?

youtu.be/cSltuCqOzJY?... I think, so far, this is my favourite fIREHOSE song. They've captured that vibe

"You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose, but you won't have my name in your book of Who's Whos..."

2026 is coming followed by 2028. Scores will be settled, etc., even if imperfectly as well as likely less than deserved.

#ItsOnlyWords Today's festive lyric Tomorrow will be Christmas We'll be singing old songs And light up the tree God and all the mercy And say all your prayers For little old me Jesus you Wipe the tears from her face And the sound of his voice Family life

youtu.be/A9BvUooa7I0?... Morning music

Absolute top drawer. A sprawling, genre defying jazz masterpiece blending orchestral depth with raw emotion. Mingus boldest statement on race, identity, & struggle. Essential listening for anyone craving jazz that breaks all the rules. 🎺🔥 This is Murder Jazz!!! #NowPlaying #Vinyl Charles Mingus 🤌

Oh, & loads of these albums would've passed me by if wasn't for you lot, especially @hooholton.bsky.social @julesgray.bsky.social @scribblerrob.bsky.social @johnniejohnstone.bsky.social @andrewmale.bsky.social @maryepworth.bsky.social @dimorphodons.bsky.social @heathensquirrel.bsky.social

“We heard you been badmouthing ska.”

I don't know much, but I do know that you'll be doing well in this life to find someone who loves you the way Mark Hollis loved Mark Feltham's harmonica playing www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfvj...

Listening now

youtu.be/_-tS4Y2zYlI?... RT and Christine Collister. This is perhaps one of the best covers I've heard of this. Enjoy

The Dude absolutely owns this! I was talking to the drummer a few weeks ago, who also played in my uncle's band and he was telling me that Tom Waits came to see them play it once. Anyway, I love this version!

youtu.be/8LeZOqp2g1k?... Listening now

youtu.be/fbwLPMYLYhY?... Something to cheer you up..

Testifying now: Judge Dugan's clerk of court Alan Freed Surveillance footage shows him saying something to a federal agent in the hallway. Asked what he said, Freed replies: "I called him a fascist."

Everything is transactional in Trump world Even the love.

youtu.be/_b91CoFXdUo?... Yeah, all you 'Ooo fans probably hate this. But I've always imagined this is how Pete really thought it should sound like

Listening now

This accomplished-more-than-any-other-president thing is a psychosis for Trump and his minions. It's such a big lie it's a wonder they don't burst into flames or burst out laughing when they say it.

Have you, like me, been complaining that it's Dec 15 already and it still doesn't feel a lot like Christmas? Well, here's something you can do about it! If you only do one #MusicChallenge before the end of the year, make it #ArtistFaveXmas 🎄🎄🎄

I know I've been beating this drum for over seven years now, but Donald Trump is a very and truly sick man who should be in a mental or penal institution and certainly not the White House.

Shelling, we are shelling 'Cross the water...

And unless and until we do start cloning politicians, should expect our elected representatives to continue to use the judgment and brains they have been given.

Now playing, Beth Orton. Trailer Park. ✌️

Tom Waits should record a Christmas album.

Name the last song you've heard youtu.be/zK4WAKc9R4g?...

Of all the new music I've recently purchased, this has been played more over the last week than anything else. It's just so damn good

youtu.be/pHPK-9I5cR8?... Of all the Sandy, my favourite song by her.

Check out the version performed at Shane's funeral. You will be destroyed (in a good way), as the mourners waltz around his humble coffin: youtu.be/6s8lvnSmISc?...

Anyone with a brain and a heart prefers this one. Happy Christmas, friend: youtu.be/j9jbdgZidu8?...

Of these three, the one I really haven't listened to is Bad As Me. And as a fan, it disappointed me. I'm apparently in the minority on this.

youtu.be/qxK7AZEdVbU?... No explainer required

They will claim this is legal since DOJ has declared Venezuela is skirting sanctions for funding foreign terrorist orgs, btw. If they do it right. If they have a member of the coast guard there, it's law enforcement and not the military, so it avoids posse comitatus issues.

He tried to kill Mike Pence, from Indiana, who was his VP and failed. As the retribution President, this may be the only way to kill Indiana for making him take Pence as VP.

youtu.be/UGtYgN0j0RE?... I hate snow, but I do like this.

Usually you've got to buy somebody at least two Amstel Lights to get them to eat your ass out like this.

If a Government uses the NWC is there any remedy available ? @emmettmacfarlane.com
