#MusicChallenge #IsmuasMonthOfMusic Day 2 - songs with a strong downbeat Technicals are a challenge for me, but I think this qualifies. In my sometime tradition of championing works that I've enjoyed seeing live (in this case a month or so ago) here's: Dry Cleaning - Scratchcard Lanyard

WE GOT MAIL! 📬 The President of Iran wrote us a letter. ✉️ President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran on Wednesday released a letter addressed to the American people that said the “path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before” and suggested the possibility of diplomatic engagement.
