mad that Jelly Roll won the country Grammy but then I texted to my dad an hour later: “they could have gotten literally anyone—Pink, Chris Stapleton, Lola Young, half the Black artists at the tables, even Jelly Roll(!)—who’d have sang a better tribute to Ozzy than Post Malone” so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope you were able to tune into the show today on CJSR 88.5 Edmonton CJSR.com. As program host, it is wonderful to know that there are people out there listening-sometimes even deliberately tuning in. I’ll be back live next week with two hours of ‘our kinda music’ at 2 MST. Playlist below:

The venue tonight has been playing a real eclectic mix while we’re on break. Early aughts butt rock, R Kelly, country….but the song playing right now (before we come back on) is literally “In the Arms of the Angels”. Respect.

Relevant to me because my uber driver in New Orleans Sunday had a huge crush on him when they went to high school together.

The kid has been into dubbed international reality game shows on Netflix lately…she’s watching a Chinese one, I asked what it’s about, and she proceeded to explain the plot of The Running Man to me 😳 “If the hunters catch you, you get nothing!”

Oooh I see something I recognize here!

Happy one year anniversary to this thing. One looooooooooong year

Headed to New Orleans for Folk Alliance… mighty excited

If you wanna be technical about it, that’s two university football teams that have won national titles in a year that I was enrolled there.

Loving the recent political song from usually non-political Grover Anderson open.spotify.com/album/1mpw7G...

Discovered the guy from Saving Country Music will be at the same conference as me this week. Very intrigued to observe this specimen in the wild.

Staggeringly sobering when the barber asks “what size clipper do I normally use on you?” and you say “3” and he says “oh buddy that’s not gonna work for you anymore, we’re moving to 4 from here on out.”

We should do an experiment where we all pick a time and date and coordinate and send all of our mental energy into the universe and wish for one specific thing. it could be anything. "Everyone concentrate and think about the same thing as hard as you can at 1:00 p.m. ET." Only question is what to t

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

ESPN forgot to update their headline before clicking send

We watched the east coast CNN feed with the volume down and said “Anderson Cooper seems pretty sober, weird” but now I’m watching it again and MY GOD

Good things were afoot 😏

I released three singles this year, of which I’m quite proud. But there was so much more to celebrate this year

2025 wrap-up: groveranderson.com/2025/12/29/2...

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

We’re probably not getting featured on any holiday playlists, but we do have a Christmas song! music.apple.com/us/album/the...

Accidentally clicked into Threads via Instagram and it brings me no joy to report that everyone there is still just completely awful.

As a giants fan I’m pretty psyched on this 2006-20012 run, though I don’t appreciate the erasure of Mædðsn Bumflowerr’s accomplishments in 2914

The only way you can still pretend that Reagan was good is if you believe in his policies or don’t believe in anything at all. Either one is disqualifying.

Either something’s afoot or someone figured out the secret location where I post all my music for free, in which case: respect

Instant all-timer here:

We have fun “Last Christmas” (Wham! Cover) - Grover Anderson & the Lampoliers youtu.be/Ualw6is81vg

These are my three favorite things on Spotify wrapped: • Little Spoon was streamed in 95 countries(!) • 105 people had me in their top 10 artists(!) • The song that I felt the most stress about releasing ended up being the most shared Really joyful things to learn. Thank you!

The way the room falls silent after they realize he’s dogging Vance too is wonderful

Made it across the country and back with my wheelchair-bound dad this weekend with no flight cancellations, one inconsequential 45 minute delay, lots of friendly faces and two(!) unexpected and unwarranted crotch pat-downs. All in all I’d say it was a successful trip (minus the crotch stuff)

My name is Kate Sills, and I'm running for Congress for my brother. He's in the Navy & our military is being asked to kill civilians. These are unlawful orders. Now Trump has called for people like me, who are standing up for our military, to be hanged. Can you help me? www.katesills.com

Friday night show in Placerville! (Since that ticket link ain’t gonna work… tickets.clubgreenroom.com/e/grover-and...)

You guys. I’m a hundred years late to the party, but how come no one told me how freaking good Dracula (the original novel) is? I’m halfway through and it completely holds up as an exciting read. (I do have some notes on Stoker’s writing of women, so maybe not completely. But still.)

Just like Schumer was united in his support of the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York? Or do senators just get a couple of freebies?

I don’t know if I’ve ever felt less hopeful about my country. Imagine the American Revolutionaries saying “Standing up to King George didn’t work”

the OTHER thing is that no filibuster defender has yet to articulate why it is that people who happen to live in low density states not only deserve additional representation but also deserve to exercise a veto *on top of that*

My Spotify wrapped thank you video (please stop using Spotify) kept getting rejected for “featuring music” but it didn’t have music. My daughter overheard and said “but it does have music…there’s a plane flying over you that sounds musical.” Eq’d that out, video accepted. My kid rules.

I have assiduously avoided AI-generated songs, but I checked this one out and holy shit. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the last lyrics are “My uncle’s father died in the Pentagon/I was 5, how old were you?”

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

Happy Halloween. Here’s my song about a demon. music.apple.com/us/album/the...

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum. www.pbump.net/o/yes-most-a...

If you didn’t grow up calling someone unrelated to you “Auntie” I don’t think I can trust you or anyone in your family.

There are lots of reasons I’m looking forward to being done with grad school in December, but first in foremost it’s that I’m never staying up til 1am for non-music related reasons ever again

The headline sounds like something Trump would say two minutes into answering a question about national security.

Thanks, Tears & BJs! (Almost as fun as the time I found Moonshine on a playlist called “Songs to Smash To”)

Absolutely chuffed to be presenting Sunday’s Fervor Coulee’s Rootsicana & Bluegrass cjsr.com 88.5 in #YEG. Two hours of roots & bluegrass including new music @groveranderson.com @mariadunnmusic.bsky.social Larry Sparks & deep cuts incl. advancing RiverCity Bluegrass Fest— I hope you can tune in!

“It’s not a purity test. It’s: ‘We want credible messengers.’” Yes!!

Sending support and safety and strength to everyone taking to the streets today

Can’t wait til I read this tweet about AI

I’m not much for writing political songs. I often end up feeling like they’re pale imitations of songwriters I admire. But as I scrolled and stewed, silence became a greater offense than imperfection.
