Caught a little of Cochella on YouTube tonight... Wednesday, Dijon, The xx...

All so good, but have to give it up for The xx... one. of their first performances in like 8 years. SO good, still.

Post one of your favorite sad songs.

I've posted this song before... it's about the tough truth of doing what you can to make the world a better place while you are alive. I'm sharing again because it's important to remember it's message:

And while I'm alive, I'll make tiny changes to earth

With the chaos of living in the U.S. (and abroad, considering the chaos this country is spreading all over the world), I have to keep reminding myself to focus on the impacts I can make now... which beyond supporting my wife and kids, is focused on this site.

My hope is this site plays a part in keeping our humanity alive through music and sharing the stories we relate to song.... and the empathy we can build by sharing these moment together.

Listening to last week's releases... and this one's a standout on deary's debut album.

Which lyric always gives you goosebumps?

You read the answers by the shadows on the wall We could be great Drive myself crazy with mistakes You know I'm better every day Tell me there's something I can change Recall I know what a sanctuary is Help me deserve you sing me praise You love me, but you'll change

Not many write about the suffering of love better than Sharon.

A song by a band that you haven't yet posted anything by

Heard this song today in a central NY Taco Bell of all places. Good!

A song that represents where you live

Buffalo loves any song that mentions the city. MJ played this song twice when we saw them last year and the crowd went nuts both times.

Lots of walking today in 🗽

Road trip sounds and prepping the family for a potential opportunity to see her this weekend.

What song would you play to counterbalance the world when it feels like a broken and unrelenting monolith designed to bring terror and tragedy?

Joy as an act of resistance.

Still making my way through all of the good releases from last Friday. Today's fave track is this new one from Snail Mail. A major progression on this album in many way. More soon!
