Just to say @500songspodcast.bsky.social *is* the official account for the podcast (we'll get the domain sorted as soon as I have spoons). It's @elsawilliams.bsky.social who's running it, but for me and with my approval.

Dr. Demento has announced his retirement at age 84 after DJ-ing novelty songs for 55 years. Saturday, May 31, 2025 was the last "regular" Dr. Demento show, although there will be some special "retrospective" shows coming up over the next few months. Streaming audio from his web site.

I've been relistening to 500 Songs episodes while making Spotify playlists. In between I've started listening to Malcolm Gladwell's "Revisionist History" podcast. By total coincidence I got to the point where I heard back to back both talking about Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight?"

Apocalypse sunset, Los Angeles. Luckily, no new fires today, but the smoke is still everywhere. So many people I know lost everything. It’s been a scary week.
