Donald Trump is authorizing the military to use deadly force on an American city that is just existing, bluely. If that doesn't get you to the "maybe we should focus on this" bar, please step down for someone who can actually meet the moment.

If you’re worried about losing your health care, apparently Trump has a message for you:

#5CoverSongsSwitch #MusicChallenge Day 2 - "Papa Was a Rodeo," Kelly Hogan & The Pine Valley Cosmonauts (covering The Magnetic Fields) The rare double switch: Hogan's alto fills in for Stephen Merritt's deep bass, while Puddles Pity Party (!) pops up on the last chorus in place of Shirley Simms.

U2 - “Love Is Blindness” Dark, powerful, still gorgeous and catchy as music. Not as much the dance-y and ironic image AB and ZooTV were known for, but it’s not some slide back to the 80’s. One of their best tracks ever and among the best by anyone in the decade #90smusic #MusicSky #MusicChallenge

#ArtistFaveLP Day 6 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Now we’re really getting into it - almost an English folk style tune here, with some of my favorite Claudia Gonson backups and harmonies and a velvet-y lead by the late LD Beghtol (RIP) 5. “All My Little Words” youtu.be/1uQFlNa1Dk0?...

Early posting for this starts tomorrow! I've got my 5 ready, and they include a few of my all-time favorite covers that I've somehow never poasted about. #5CoverSongsSwitch

#TheTwen2ie5 Update on this - two more advance lists in, so I should be able to publish 'Your 2020s picks' tomorrow (25th). I have made a rod, as previous challenges involved recording only songs/points/rank. Adding to that is Spotify, YouTube and country info. Hope it helps with taking part!
