I do like and share a good deal of political posts as a left-wing trans woman in real-life. But I'm one that lets the shares and my involvement in local activism do the talking.

Apart from doomscrolling/liking/sharing, I typically use this account to issue updates on the state of the podcast.

But some things I've been in talks about for 2027 episodes and beyond?
* 5 year anniversary as a podcast (Aug 2028) will have us do a redux of our first episode ( #Queen). I've never been proud of that episode and I've grown as a speaker since then.
* Birthday month picks for 2027-2029 are in-place.

* #Madonna
* #SlyAndTheFamilyStone
* #Tupac
* Big 4 of Thrash ( #Anthrax, #Slayer, #Megadeth, & #Metallica)
* #DefLeppard
* #Rush
* #BeachBoys

* #Bjork
* #KateBush

Uploads of new episodes have slowed to once every month or two. Money is getting tight until I have a new job.

There's a hefty backlog of to-be-edited episodes. But the next one will be #BadBunny to capitalize on his #SuperBowl #halftime show.

Last part of the #IronMaiden weekend and it's discussing the solo career of #BruceDickinson, which I'm glad we did.

The Onion can re-run this today with D’Angelo swapped in for Prince

RIP a(nother) legend

Hearing of the passing of #D'Angelo is a gut-punch. I haven't delved into his discog as much as I should (have only heard *Voodoo*), but dude was MAD talented and unapologetic.

I've told the rest of the crew about doing D'Angelo at some point in 2026--we unanimously agreed.

VERY tardy with this one, but here's Top @taylorswift songs. How much #Swiftie cred do I get by saying the 10-minute version of "All Too Well" is my #1? As for the rest of my list, strap into the episode.

In a bit of magic timing, the episode on #TaylorSwift dropped the same day as the release of her new album, #thelifeofashowgirl. This was recorded in April, so it won't have our thoughts on the new album. But stay tuned: me and Duke may have something up our sleeve for that.

So with #BadBunny announced as the #SuperBowl halftime performer, that means we'll be doing an episode on him and aim to get it released the weekend of the big game.

The return of @radredlink.bsky.social for his favorite band ( #Gorillaz ) may have netted us our funniest episode. Even if most of the jokes were potshots at me (which I took in stride).

A brief Top Songs since it was only me that made a list for #BuddyHolly. Yes, the obligatory #Weezer referencing thumbnail was my idea.

I recall #BuddyHolly being a cozy time covering a #50s rocker...until it sunk in just how bad the sloppily-overdubbed posthumous stuff is.

It's one thing to lament loss of life and decry political violence, but this revisionism is shockingly dishonest and downright offensive to the millions of people Kirk targeted and upon whom he inflicted pain and misery. The man was a liar and a bigot who gladly hurt others to advance himself.

The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

In an oopsie, my brain farted and forgot to post the updates for the #DreamTheater side-episodes. This is late, but you get a two-fer.
One is Top Songs and the other is a personal Top 20 list of John Petrucci guitar solos.

I'm going to make it known that I have playlists set up for my personal use to use on #Spotify until the end of the year. Once the new year rolls around, I'm hitting up playlist converters and switching over to #Deezer for the music listening on the podcast.

One of my personal gateways into #progrock, let alone #progressivemetal, everyone involved with #Algorhythms was excited to tackle #DreamTheater.
