quote post with a favorite song about LA youtu.be/MctL4FOGNts

i've been waiting since the day i started Song Of The Day(ish) here to post this specific song. thank you, @janewiedlin.bsky.social for making this. SOTD 268 flips off President Narcissist... youtu.be/kNjnRY1Tpa0 #NoKings #SOTD #JaneWiedlin #FuckTrump

fell down a rabbit hole yesterday and today with the passing of Douglas McCarthy, so here's another Song Of The Day(ish) from Nitzer Ebb. SOTD 267's slipping through my fingertips, slipping through my open mouth... www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1wX... #SOTD #NitzerEbb #DouglasMcCarthy #ControlImHere

our Song Of The Day(ish) honors yet another passing, this time Douglas McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb. this one really hits hard for me. godspeed, sir. SOTD 266 holds on to rhythm, the music of drums... youtu.be/1UI-aF_GO6I #SOTD #NitzerEbb #DouglasMcCarthy #LetYourBodyLearn

3 yr-old working hard on her first Tootsie Pop: what is the tootsie inside? me: it's just Dustin Hoffman dressed as a woman 3yo: dad, you know *everything* wife laughing hard from the other room me: i am so posting this...

this Song Of The Day(ish) is a fond remembrance of a 45 in my dad's collection i would listen to over and over all day. SOTD 265's anglin' in Laguna in Cerro Azul... youtu.be/tMnqV26Njxo #SOTD #TheBeachBoys #BrianWilson #SurfinSafari

this Song Of The Day(ish) is inspired by RJ Carter from Critical Blast who made an Offspring reference during a discussion i was part of during CB's podcast saturday evening. SOTD 264's gotta keep 'em separated... www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHUq... #SOTD #TheOffspring #ComeOutAndPlay

a somber Song Of The Day(ish) today, thank you @rockandrollgarage.bsky.social for the notice of Sly Stone's passing. SOTD 263 wants to thank you for letting me be myself again... www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOa5... #SOTD #SlyAndTheFamilyStone #SlyStone #ThankYouFalettinmeBeMiceElfAgin

IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!

one more Song Of The Day(ish) for today. this feels pretty appropriate given the Orwellian vibe the day had. SOTD 262'll pull the bricks down one by one... youtu.be/GeqbxjebGck #SOTD #Eurythmics #SexCrime1984

while my #Trumpy strip is on a temporary hiatus, i find myself continually repeating this phrase at least daily at this point. No kings. #NoKings #ShineALight

this was already a SOTD, so i'll just re-share this with the reminder that anger is an energy...

our next Song Of The Day(ish) is an unrequited request by SOTD friend @nehoc.bsky.social. here's some Buzzcocks love coming your way. SOTD 261 seems so real, i can taste it... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed17... #SOTD #Buzzcocks #WhyCantITouchIt

i did not know @richardblade.bsky.social was on bsky! he is one of the main influences shaping the music i grew up with. my Song Of The Day(ish) wouldn't exist without him. every #SOTD post is me emulating Richard and Rodney Bingenheimer (among a few select others).

shameless plug (you already knew i was shameless): i'll be interviewing in just about half an hour with Critical Blast about @studiogart.net's very own @murcielaga.studiogart.net! i'm super excited about this, hope you'll all check it out! miss you, Pop. wish you could be here with us ♥️
