#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear (1967) Song 15 comes from one of the most underrated bands of the 60’s or any other time. And no, Jimmy Page didn’t invent playing an electric guitar with a violin bow. youtu.be/PjOloyVAmgM?...

This is a must-watch PSA.

Flashback to when JD Vance, Kash Patel, and Dan Bingobongo all demanded that the Epstein files should be released. Weird how they stopped. What changed?

Priorities.

You’re welcome Maureen!

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear (1967) 14. There was no year other than 1967 that this song could’ve been written. From what I understand, the lyrics are an unrealistic description of what many travelers there that year really experienced. youtu.be/j-447NaiBJs?...

#MusicChallenge #NewWaveNovember Day 16 - Over the course of XTC’s career they transcended any particular pigeon holed subgenre, but this chirpy ditty is firmly in their New Wave period, as is the album cover art. youtu.be/IKBjJl7NnJ8?...

“FBI Director Kash Patel granted waivers to Deputy Director Dan Bongino and two other newly hired senior FBI staff members, exempting them from passing polygraph exams normally required to gain access to America’s most sensitive classified information…” www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear (1967) Song 13 is the title track from perhaps the year’s biggest movie (?). youtu.be/0_UpW8V6B3c?...

#MusicChallenge #NewWaveNovember 15. One of the first Punk/New Wave era supergroups. youtu.be/_hNgltshWA8?...

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

NEWS: Trump’s DOJ is now negotiating cash reparations for his allies who were investigated by the FBI. First he wants $230M for himself. Now taxpayer payouts for friends. They’re not even hiding the corruption anymore.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

If you’re willing to say, out loud, that it’s “worse” to rape a 5 year old than a 14 year old, this was never about protecting kids.

RIP to former nepo #Mets owner Lorinda deRoulet, shown here reviewing the paid attendance at Shea one day in 1978. The Dark Ages. #MetsSky

#MusicChallenge #NewWaveNovember Day 14 - At the time, many slagged Gary Numan off as simple synthpop. I think his stuff has held up really well. I saw his first US show. youtu.be/BEop9nuTSrg?...

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear (1967) 12. If this isn’t one of your favorite songs, it should be. youtu.be/670YMraVnyk?...

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear For song 11, 1967’s unquestionable Artist Of The Year, Syd Barrett. youtu.be/uTfDUyUkVYE?...

#MusicChallenge #NewWaveNovember Day 13 - Another New Wave artist that American classic rock radio picked up on. youtu.be/-pfF2cpO3zA?...

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

BREAKING: Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving together in 2017 — while Trump was in office.

pro tip: innocent people don't work this hard to keep the files that prove their innocence a secret

Hoping to see northern lights tonight in Jersey. And the Epstein files.

Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans. Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people. Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

“I know how dirty Donald Trump is” -Jeffrey Epstein Within a year of this email, Jeffrey Epstein was dead.

The president is implicated in the crimes of his friend, the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and the Republican Party is protecting him

As new Epstein-Maxwell emails drop discussing Trump a reminder that sex trafficking felon Ghislaine Maxwell is in a lux camp playing with puppies because Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche accommodated her to shut her up What a disgusting coverup

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear (1967) 10 - This video appears to be from a few years later. Sly’s influence can’t be overstated. youtu.be/kHaDc82w6OM?...

#MusicChallenge #NewWaveNovember Day 12 - In 1978, New Wave was a kind of fringe genre, very much on the outside. Within a year there were bands and songs that were (happily) inescapable, especially this one. youtu.be/bbr60I0u2Ng?...

They have no healthcare plan. They only have a plan to take away what exists.

Hey MAGA, if you’re upset about Mamdani, wait until I tell you about the al-Qaeda commander Donald Trump just welcomed into the White House.

Only someone who’s a) never had to make mortgage or car loan payments and b) really fucking stupid, would suggest 50 year mortgages and 15 year car loans.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy. #MetsSky #Mets

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear (1967) 9. Their earlier classic singles (My Generation, The Kids Are Alright etc) weren’t hits in the States, but by 1967 The Who started becoming stars here. Two years later with Tommy, they were as big as anyone. youtu.be/DdCySh8lW2E?...

#MusicChallenge #NewWaveNovember Day 11 - Even the grumpy holdouts who at the time condescendingly hated punk and new wave liked The Pretenders. Just a shame that heroin tore this lineup apart. youtu.be/IGUN_Icuesc?...

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear 7. A teenage Alex Chilton didn’t sing with his natural voice here, this was some impression he was doing in a rehearsal and he was told to record it that way. He obviously didn’t sound like this with Big Star. youtu.be/HIWY8UyW9bw?...

#MusicChallenge #NewWaveNovember Day 10. Jersey Girl from Hawthorne sings a tribute to a Jersey Girl from Haworth in Asbury Park. Jersey’s got this. youtu.be/FDIzHa7KAE0?...

The weathiest country in the world doesn't mean a thing if it won’t feed its own people.

OK, the #Jets might be bad, but the #Browns are just dumb.

Who benefits from 50 year mortgages: banks, developers, realtors, estate lawyers. Who gets screwed: everyone else.

#Jets key to scoring is to keep the QB off the field.

Before I put the #Jets game on, I was watching Man City-Liverpool, it was 3-0 MC. Let’s see if the Jets can outscore either of those teams.

#MusicChallenge #NewWaveNovember Day 9. Circa 1980 or 81, a girlfriend dragged me to see The Police. The night was saved by The Go-Go’s opening for them; note to Sting, never have a warmup band that’s more entertaining than yours. youtu.be/_uQgkse0E04?...

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear (1967) One of those songs where the cover became the definitive version…to the point where many don’t realize it’s a cover. youtu.be/s3Itb17PXvw?...
