New music this week from Cory Wong, Ash, Ellur, Man/Woman/Chainsaw, HUNNY, covers by both Ghost and The Beaches, Peter Gabriel dropping a very different mix of the single from just 2 weeks ago, Alice Merton, ISTA, Angel Names and much more. Enjoy!

Ash is a band that's been together for a long time now, and their latest export from Northern Ireland is "Ad Astra", a witty and strong album full of hooks and just basic rock and roll. We've added a couple of tracks from the album to the playlist this week and I think you'll enjoy them.
Canadian artist Alice Marton graces us with a new album called "Visions", full of gently (and occasionally not so gentle) pop full of heart and life. We've added a couple of songs from this album as well.
Man/Woman/Chainsaw gets my absolute respect for the best new idea for a band name I've run across in a while, and their music backs it up. They've mostly been releasing singles as of late and the song "Only Girl" has been added to the playlist. They're eclectic - they do not stick to any one style and if you're adventurous you should check them out. They'll change direction with each new track.
A couple of unlikely but worth it covers come this week: "It's A Sin", which is Ghost's cover of the Pet Shop Boys hit, and The Beaches cover "I Ran (So Far Away)" which was a hit for Flock of Seagulls back in the day.
I will also note that just like his last album, Peter Gabriel is releasing two version of each song from his next album - "Dark Side" mixes released every full moon and "Bright Side" mixes every new moon. This leads to the release of the "Bright Side" version of "Been Undone" and it's a very different mix. You'll want to compare and contrast, I promise you.

If we invade Greenland we have to give up our claim to the U.S. Virgin Islands and either let them become independent or give them back to the Danish. There's a treaty. This would include Epstein's private island by the way.
Mark Davis, a congressional candidate in Florida, bought the domain "Nazi.us" and implanted a re-direct that takes you to the website of the Department of Homeland Security. Try it yourself.
It does feel like we're doing a speedrun of Germany's invasions of the late 1930's and early 1040's, doesn't it?
We might already know by the time I publish this, but is the 11th Airborne being put on standby to invade Minnesota or Greenland?
Rasmus Jarlov is a member of the Danish Parliment. He was interviewed by ms.now (formerly msnbc) and they played a clip from Stephen Miller about the US position on Greenland and... here are his exact words: “I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying.” Chef's kiss.
I hope you all realize that next time he's not going to ask.
The new/old guy's letter to Denmark really comes across like the monologue by Don John in Much Ado About Nothing. A coincidence, I'm sure.
I have to admit that typing "the new/old guy" instead of saying his name does get tedious. I think from now on I will refer to them as "The Crime Administration".
And because I love you, here is a recent full concert from Nanook, a band based in Greenland that is so successful on their home turf that more than 1 in every 10 people in the country owns their debut album. I have huge respect for them because the refused a record deal because the label wanted them to sing in English. They don't.
