New music this week includes the most optomistic song in years (by KUN), Sonic Whip, ARXX, Fright Years, Crushed, Megadeth, Fishbone, Hana Hope, High Vis, The Spitfires, Keep Shelly in Athens and much more. Enjoy!
It gets harder to find new music this time of year, because of all the fucking Christmas music on your radio right now. Do you still listen to radio? So I go digging deep looking for stuff I might have missed from earlier in the year as well as my usual sources. This brought the band Sonic Whip to my attention, and although there isn't a new album in 2025 there are a bunch of singles and they're all top notch.
ARXX is another band worth checking out. Their own bio reads "Imagine Taylor Swift if she only listened to Nirvana". They do good work.
With the appearance of their cover of a great Alice in Chains song I am once again required to ask why aren't Fishbone in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? I know the answer, sadly. So do you.

A programming note: Over at the radio station on December 25th only, we will be playing Christmas Music from 12:00am until 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time (PST). It's the only time I ever concede that the music is appropriate. Some of the tunes aren't, though. This is a pop/rock/alternative radio station after all.

So there was a "drop" of Epstein files shit that was the usual comedy of errors from the leadership of the current Department of Justice. So much redaction that Pantone needs to rename their color of the year. If you search for the word "Trump" zero result will be returned. But if you search "Trump " (note the space at the end) you get over 600 results.
One truly nasty piece of work is a photo featuring Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton and Diana Ross, with the faces of 3 children blacked out, insinuating that the three were involved in the whole Epstein business and that the children are being protected. In reality the photo is from a Democratic fundraiser from 2003 with no connection to Epstein, and the blacked out children are Michael's two children and Diana's youngest son. It's such an egregious misdirect that Bill Clinton himself, who we already know palled around with Epstein, demanded release of all documents where he is mentioned.
Clinton is a master of message and even he gets that no matter how damaging this could be for him that the truth must will out, and that he knows how to ride the storm and perhaps even direct it. Look for the DoJ (Under New Management) to claim it's a trap and they won't be falling for it.
"Under New Management CBS" killed a story on 60 Minutes that would have been critical of the new/old guy's administration, with new chief Bari Weiss stating that because there had been no on camera response from the White House that the story wasn't there. Lady, the fact that they failed to respond to requests for an interview IS THE FUCKING STORY!!!! Your news reputation just took an huge hit, and you're too dumb to realize it yet Ms. Weiss.
Of course, you can actually see the story if you download it from here. It was on YouTube for a while but it doesn't appear to be anymore. Grab it while you can.
Ke$ha Patell is the first FBI director to not buy American for his cars.
The Governor of Louisiana has been named "Special Envoy" to Greenland, whatever the fuck that means. This is another one of these idiots who think the US is going to own Greenland someday. Greenland should refuse him entry into the country.
This past Saturday there was a fire at a power station in San Francisco. Almost a third of the city was without power, and now two days later some of the city is STILL without power (I'm fine - we never lost power). But there has been a funny side-effect. Waymo had to suspend service with their fleet of automatic cars because they couldn't figure out to do at intersections with non-functional streetlights. People were stranded int he cars, which isn't fun, but watching a bunch of empty cars honking at each other was pretty funny.
The Department of Defense (pardon me, "War - Under New Management") has decided that wind farms interferes with radar. Because I know how radar actually works I calling these people fucking liars.
Has Mitt Romney become a Democrat in retirement? The 2012 version of him should speak with the late 2025 version.
I was never a real fan of Niki Minaj prior to now either.
I have seen the artist's rendering of the new "battleship" design that the new/old guy supposedly invented and my only comment here is that someone has been spending too much time with Legos.
And because I love you, have the most upbeat song in pop music since "Walking on Sunshine".
