Does anyone out there have a say in which songs are chosen for this laudable and beautiful charitable exercise? As far as I know, they haven’t peerformed a Van Morrison song yet. Moondance?

“It’s doom alone that counts…” Even doomsday preppers are losing fervor, but the pace of bad and bizzarre happenings at large lately seems like old time end times. The bloodless hand rewrites Matthew 24. Apropos of nothing, here’s a clip of Zimmy from 1976 looking like Sallman’s Bicentennial Christ in desert garb. It’s a heck of …
[This is lovely. Drink it in with all deliberate speed.] More Than Ruins formed in Berlin in 2019.

Behold the latest from LA singer songwriter Albon. His gently orchestrated songs have a strong left-field vibe, like a gust of wind that breaks the still of an otherwise placid afternoon.

To the best of my recollection, I can’t recall ever being tear-gassed.

I never suspected I’d write the following sentences in 2019: Amazed by the new Who. Don’t know if I’m ready to like-like it yet, but it has more of the former magic than any retread by any first generation rocker in decades. The time is here to admit that it’s pretty good (and stop insulating …
This clip is just joyful, pleasant and reanimating. I don’t like to reopen poor Pandora’s Seattle box too often, but this one is just too good. Eddie Vedder is tremendous, of course, but Brendan Canty, the Fugazi drummer and a truly decent fellow, is even better. He has such gusto for this one tune. The …
