A new version of Sara Bareilles’ cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was just released on YouTube a few hours ago, and it’s even better than the one I posted on Friday. https://youtu.be/DB4g1qTuHq4 https://mastodon.nz/@carey/113723633445713755 #SaraBareilles #GoodbyeYellowBrickRoad #Music

YouTube introduced me to Jax by recommending the video below, which was a bit brutal. (Content warning for references to sexual abuse.) Jax – i choose violence As you can see from the thumbnail, she also chooses the bear. https://youtu.be/IgIK_bNAACY #JukeboxFridayNight #NewFinds

I discovered a Christmas song this evening from 27 years ago but new to me, via TIDAL: #NoDoubt’s cover of “Oi to the World” by The Vandals. https://youtu.be/ZFLExwIQKto #ChristmasMusic
