New music this week from the long-awaited live album from Umphrey's McGee, St. Lucia, Pool Kids, Boojums, Glom, Geowolf, Telenova, Death Bells and much more. Enjoy!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
While it's true that new albums are hard to find this time of year I do have a few recommendations for you, starting with Umphrey McGee's long-awaited live album, "Hall of Fame: Class of 2024". This album really catches the feel of their shows and runs quite long, just as their live shows do. Over 4 hours of music over 19 songs that includes jams of Grateful Dead length and quality. They're a great jam band and worth checking out.
Last we had heard of Pool Kids their label had dropped them. Instead of giving up they hired a producer and recorded their new album "Easier Said Than Done", which in turn got them signed to Epitaph records. It's a great album with solid songwriting and production, and you should give them a chance - just like Epitaph did. ^_^
I was surprised to see a new album from St. Lucia - it wasn't on my radar and I'm a fan, and after all they had dropped the great album "Fata Morgana: Dawn" earlier this year. I had suspected a companion album would be coming but not this quickly. "Fata Morgana: Dusk" is that album an it completes the story begun on the previous album, complete with a reprise of the opening track of the prior album. For fans of this type of pop/alt styling you should give both albums a listen.
A couple of notes about songs not on this playlist. Sparks quietly dropped an album they recorded in 2013 called "Annette (An Opera by Sparks)" and if that sounds familiar it should, the music that would eventually become the soundtrack for the movie "Annette" which came out a couple of years back. I decided not to add any of the tracks because it really is mostly the same songs, although without the cast of the movie. For the true Sparks fan it's a must have.
The a cappella group Home Free recorded a version of Auld Lange Syne in CHINESE. ""友谊地久天长" is worth checking out for simply how odd and wonderful it is, but it's not really a song for radio.

One week until my new album comes out!

The Federal Government manages to screw both nation-wide voting and on-time tax payments in a single rule making. You can no longer rely on the US Postal Service to postmark your mail when they receive it - instead it will be postmarked once at a receiving station, which can take days. Your taxes will be late, and your vote won't be counted. You can still ask to have your mail postmarked at the post office, but just dropping it off doesn't count anymore. Plan accordingly.
So apparently not satisfied by turning the White House into Saddam's palace number 7 the new/old guy is going to put in Marble... armrests?!!?!!? at The Kennedy Center. Wouldn't that be uncomfortable as all hell? Also, I'm never going to call it the name that's been slapped on it. It's the Gulf of Mexico you freaks.
Can you believe it's only been a year since President Jimmy Carter passed? It feels like 50. I know I look and feel a half century older.
Someone should tell Harmeet K. Dhillon that very few people can get away with Xweeting about "hoes" and she's not one of them. Your DOJ Head of the Civil Rights Division, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Anyone else notice that despite being 85 years old Nancy Pelosi is still the sharpest attack dog in Congress? I'm going to miss her when she goes.
The fucktard rumor mill claims that the new Commissioner of the New York Fire Department has never been a firefighter. Incorrect. She's a 31-year veteran and was a first responder on 9/11. You're just pissed because she's gay.
There was a lot of the new/old guy in the Epstein Files. He's all the fuck over them. The Republican't party still won't abandon him, for fear of losing the pedophile vote.
If you want or need a good laugh, pleas head over to https://www.trumpkennedycenter.org/, a website set up by one of the writers for South Park.
I have to wonder why Zelinsky keeps coming back to the U.S. when the deals we offer are the exact same bullshit every time. I'm starting to wonder if he's developed a taste for something like BBQ and has to come to the U.S. to get it.
I am certain though that the real reason the administration bombed targets in Nigeria is because they were led astray by an anonymous Nigerian Prince.
I would like the press to stop referring to every meeting between the current administration and Netanyahu as a "critical" or "vital" meeting. Not a single one of these meetings has changed a damned thing.
I have to wonder what the new/old guy didn't get for Christmas that inspired him posting over 150 times on social media.

And because I love you, have a classic from Electric Six:
