The situation’s got me down. Like down-down. So I’m going to post less and be on here less regularly.

My arch-nemesis has been spotted. An ill portent!

#MetalSky But I have prepared a scene report on recent Finnish black metal: open.spotify.com/playlist/2zh...

I haven’t been posting bc world events have impacted my listening behavior & I just haven’t been listening to pop music. Sorry to all the challenges I dunked out of But, on this note: has anyone else’s listening habits changed over the past 3 weeks? Like is cheerful music not appropriate right now?

#MusicMusic #MoodMusic Happy Housemartins 🇬🇧 “Happy Hour” (1986) youtu.be/KfDoPEN7n5k?...

#25TitleTracks #MusicChallenge Drums 🇺🇸 “Abysmal Thoughts” (2017) Wobbly album,* but killer choon. *For Drums’s best work, see the Summertime EP and Portamento LP. Some of my favorite music of the era. youtu.be/5uywsRn6vZ0?...

#ABNMC #MusicChallenge G Gray Matter 🇺🇸 Take It Back (1986) Museum-grade specimen EP from the Revolution Summer. There’s never been a bad band from DC. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

#StrictlyInstrumental #MusicChallenge 7 Ween 🇺🇸 “Pink Eye - on My Leg” (1997) youtu.be/-a98CPBh6IA?...

#MusicChallenge #BookJacketTunes The Godfather Ned’s Atomic Dustbin 🇬🇧 “Less than Useful” (1991) Have I read this book: ❌ this was a book? youtu.be/dUlD0_Ecjkw?...

#GraphicallyYours #MusicChallenge 8 Sonic Youth 🇺🇸 Evol (1986)

#NowPlaying Sonic Youth - Sister (1987) Maybe my favorite Sonic Youth album (close between this and Evol)

#NowPlaying Close Lobsters 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Headache Rhetoric (1989) Hitting the spot

#NowPlaying Sha-La-Lees 🇧🇪 Hex (2025) Profoundly satisfied with this band. It’s setting the tone for a nice Saturday morning wearing shorts in the yard in early February. Steady-handed music for a world upside-down. 70s heavy blues garage/proto punk. English-language lyrics. RIYL MC5, Estrus recs.

#MusicChallenge #MoodMusic Confident Ruth Ruth 🇺🇸 “Brainiac” (1995) “I won’t forget, people who act confident go far” youtu.be/92Z7xLjVl2E?...

#ABNMC #MusicChallenge F Franklin 🇺🇸 “Major Taylor” (single version) (1999) It’s got to be the single version over the album version. It is always about the sports whistle solo. (Franklin was from Philadelphia & is what happened when Midwest emo encountered dub (not ska)) youtu.be/PlUnKMCmdnE?...

#GraphicallyYours #MusicChallenge 7 Church 🇦🇺 Seance (1983)

#MusicChallenge #BestSongHeardToday Orielles 🇬🇧 “The Room” (2022) Love the Orielles, didn’t love-love the transition away from baggy space samba (some joy was lost to sophistication), but when I listen to them I still say “damn!” UNESCO World-Heritage wunderkind. 🔥 open.spotify.com/track/0hjxNA...

#25TitleTracks #MusicChallenge Bishop Allen 🇺🇸 “Charm School” (2003) youtu.be/1Uusb5u_Bf4?...

#BookJacketTunes #MusicChallenge In Cold Blood Cleveland Bound Death Sentence 🇺🇸 “Between the Lions” (1999) “Where can I find a girl like Truman Capote?” Have I read this book: ❌ No, but there is a copy in my house, so the odds of it happening one day are good. youtu.be/8yzgdnQzEUs?...

#MusicChallenge #MoodMusic Disgust Los Campesinos 🇬🇧 “The End of the Asterisk” 2009 This is the only thing I could think of. It uses the word “disgusting” prominently (and is at least a good song anyway). youtu.be/1qLbPusvgq8?...

#MusicChallenge #BookJacketTunes A Brief History of Time Man… or Astro-Man? 🇺🇸 “Lo Batt” (1997) “I think she can manipulate time” I had no idea there was a music video for this. Very 90s Astroman. Have I read this book? ❌ no youtu.be/07Hwz-ZTRxY?...

#ABNMC #MusicChallenge C Cheap Red “The Hurt on Her” (2009) One of Stewart Boyracer’s projects, a proper DIY/indie pop album that bridges the space between old Boyracer and new Boyracer. youtu.be/4gOQO-EkBHY?...

#MusicChallenge #StrictlyInstrumental 3 Southern Culture on the Skids 🇺🇸 “Link’s Lung” (1992) I love how Rick Miller’s guitar is out of tune by the end of the song. youtu.be/5tz-R4ZevEQ?...
