Just one more
Who's searching for
A world that ought to be
Pinned
Na na na na na na na, I wanna start a fight!

Pink wanted to start a fight, and Rocky answered the bell.

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight
Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights…

Happy Dirxst Day #RushFamily 🐶💗

#129 on #The500Blog is "Remain In Light" from Talking Heads -- I talk Art History, Teenagers in Italy and an educator whose lessons still resonate with me as powerfully as the amazing tracks on this groundbreaking album.

Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen
Camera curves over caved-in cop cars
Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperadoes
Clutch at plausible deniability
Don't touch that dial
We're in denial
Until the showcase trial on TV…

Happy Monday #RushFamily 💗📡

Mariah Carey
Here for It All
#5albums25

If you enjoy Mariah as a general rule, you'll probably like this one too. I did.

Brandi Carlile
Returning to Myself
#5albums25

My favorite Brandi Carlile album of 2025.
December 29, 2025 at 1:01 AM
Elton John and Brandi Carlile
Who Believes in Angels?
#5albums25

I do like both of these artists. It was an interesting collaboration.

Dorothy
The Way
#5albums25

I love Dorothy's voice. I first heard her last year on a Slash song, and this album will probably make my five. And Slash makes an appearance on one of the songs on The Way.

Doja Cat
Vie
#5albums25

Doja Cat is a really interesting artist, and I always like to check out her music.
December 29, 2025 at 12:53 AM
Taylor Swift
The Life of a Showgirl
#5albums25

I heard quite a bit of this album at work during The Official Release Party of a Showgirl. It's never a bad thing when the theatre is overrun with Swifties.
December 29, 2025 at 12:48 AM
Florence and the Machine
Everybody Scream
#5albums25

Another really good album from Florence.

Carry all those phantoms
Through bitter wind and stormy skies
From the desert to the mountain
From the lowest low to the highest high
Like a Ghost Rider

Keep on riding North and West
Then circle South and East
Show me beauty but there is no peace…

Happy Lifeson Day #RushFamily 🏍️☄️

I feel my spirit resist
But I open up my fist
Lay hand over hand over
Hand over fist
Paper around the stone
Scissors cut the paper
Cut the paper to the bone
Hand over hand
Doesn't seem so much
Hand over hand
Is the strength of the common touch…

Happy TT and Merry Christmas #RushFamily ❤️🎁

Robert Plant with Suzi Dian
Saving Grace
#5albums25

Saving Grace was named after the band Robert Plant had been performing with for over six years, which includes singer Suzi Dian. It's a fantastic record.
December 25, 2025 at 2:06 AM
Sarah McLachlan
Better Broken
#5albums25

I've always liked Sarah McLachlan, and I've played this album quite a bit. It's a possibility for my top five.
December 25, 2025 at 1:58 AM
Rakim
The Re-Up
#5albums25

The second straight year with a new Rakim album. He produces the whole album and features several different rappers while doing only a couple of verses himself.
December 25, 2025 at 1:24 AM
Sabrina Carpenter
Man's Best Friend
#5albums25

It's kinda like a Taylor Swift album that doesn't take itself so seriously, with more explicit lyrics.
December 24, 2025 at 4:20 PM
Three Days Grace
Alienation
#5albums25

Original lead singer Adam Gontier returns to the band after more than a decade away.

Basic elemental instinct to survive
Stirs the higher passions
Thrill to be alive
Alternating currents in a tidewater surge
Rational resistance to an unwise urge

Anything can happen...🔴🎄💕

Halestorm
Everest
#5albums25

Very fine hard rock, maybe Halestorm's best album yet.

He's got a problem with his poisons
But you know he'll find a cure
He's cleaning up his systems
To keep his nature pure

Learning to match the beat of the Old World Man
Learning to catch the heat of the Third World Man…

Chevelle
Bright as Blasphemy
#5albums25

Another hard rocking album here. It's a good listen, but like the other hard rock albums I've already posted, it doesn't necessarily have to go into regular rotation.
December 22, 2025 at 8:18 PM
Deftones
private music
#5albums25

Deftones aren't a band I ever really got into, but I thought this was a pretty strong album.
December 22, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Yungblud
Idols
#5albums25

I wanted to check out Yungblud because of the Ozzy connection. I didn't exactly fall in love with the album, but I appreciate it. I'll probably play it again.
