As a male in my 40s, I love being on podcasts more than anything. I got to talk about Billy Joel and get schooled on the Weakerthans in this episode.

You know what's a really good album that everyone's forgotten about? HLLLYH by The Mae Shi. We're not hurting for music about the book of Revelations, but this album is one of my favorites. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUKA...

I want him in chains. Naked, unwashed. No makeup. No hair products. Surrounded by bright lights. Disoriented and scared. I want everyone to see it. I want the photos to be public domain so Wikipedia can use them for his entry. I want them in the history books.

Translation: from Invisible Cities, by Italo Calvino

Thankless or not, we are stupidly committed to ensuring every HLLLYH b side is a transformative cover.
Sometimes I want to record cover songs, because I listen to the original and hear all these amazing things I wish they had done. But recording a wildly transformative cover is a thankless thing.

Question 8:
If you were in a situation where the only thing that could save a life was to successfully start a sing-a-long with a random group of strangers, what song are you belting?

I still think about @themountaingoats.bsky.social’s review of the Strokes album “True Tales From the Un1verse” (at least that’s how I remember the name). I’m sad I never got to hear Julian C. rapping in German.

My controversial take is that Zohran got 100k votes on the strength of his absolutely on-fire campaign logo. Vaguely Zabar, vaguely Yankees, vaguely Knicks/Mets. An all-timer.

Task is a good show but the music placement is constantly taking me out of it. Maeve has a Be Your Own Pet poster; the biker bar is playing Richard and Linda Thompson. Come on. Be serious.
