Sometimes, on #TransitTunes, I'll choose an artist I've just never quite grokked in hopes of discovering just what everyone else loves about them. This morning, listening to Matthew Sweet (born #OTD 1964), I was rudely reminded of how inexplicably anxious certain eras of pop music make me. But ...

Hell of a sunrise this beautiful fall morning! Happy October, BlueSky! For #TransitTunes today, we're rockin' the psychedelic sounds of Shocking Blue, the Dutch group from the 1960s/70s led by singer Mariska Veres (1947-2006), born #OTD.

A lot is said about the trauma caused to my generation by the Artax scene in Neverending Story. But for my money, this is the most gutting moment. "These look like good, big, strong hands," Rockbiter says. "And for so long, that's what I thought they were. But my friends ... I couldn't save them." 💔

One of the top reasons I love the work I do: driving in the pre-dawn, window down, chill tunes, sleepy but satisfied. (photo taken while parked, obvi)

Today's soundtrack: The Ventures Hbd to drummer Mel Taylor (1933-1996). #TransitTunes

OK, today's #TransitTunes was a riot of joy for my earholes! Here's wishing a very happy 82nd birthday to drummer (& so much more) Jim McCarty, born July 25, 1943.

Today on #TransitTunes I drifted further along memory lane by celebrating the 62nd birthday of Emily Saliers with a full day of the Indigo Girls. NOW. I don't know if you ever attended college in the 1990s. But the Indigo Girls were KINDA pervasive ...

The guitar that kills fascists is a hard act to follow, but #TransitTunes is making a go of it by continuing this week with even more guitar! Today, we listened to Joe Satriani, born July 15, 1956. (Happy 69th!)

Me, to self: OK, you have to leave for work in 20 minutes!

My brain, suffering under extreme kitty paralysis: ... but how important is showering, REALLY??

Kicking off this #TransitTunes week with a full day of the GOAT's GOAT, Woody Guthrie -- born July 14, 1912. There's no wrong time to blast the antifascist anthems, but now is a particularly good time, IMO.

Today's #TransitTunes centered on the work of birthday boy Peter Murphy, born July 11, 1957. Apologies for the rain-stained image; I forgot to take the pic before getting off the bus to leave at the end of this rainy day.

Today, #TransitTunes sends wishes for a happy 55th out to Beck, born July 8, 1970 (ouch! right in the aging!). Now, if you'd asked me 48hrs ago who would be more accessible to my riders, Mahler or Beck?, I'd have guessed Mahler in a heartbeat. I'd have been so wrong. 🧵 #MusicSky

Yesterday, #TransitTunes celebrated Gustav Mahler, born July 7, 1860. I love Mahler, but even I can admit it was a poor choice. 🧵 #MusicSky

Before/after pics of ya guyle. Context: The TKD dojang my family attends marches in the 4th of July parade every year, doing board breaking & other demos along the route. There was very little cloud cover. I am seriously fried -- but glad it's over! Anyway, happy Destroy-Tyranny Day errbody.

Yeah, mine's similar, but completely overlapping. Just figured out that I can do it by switching to floating instead of fixed keyboard, but I deeply hate it.

K, #TransitTunes, it's been a minute. Sorry for the gap. I've been drivin' & groovin' but not writin' heh. As recompense, here's a rare glimpse of my worksona. I plan to get back to regular posts this week.

Why yes, I AM sitting in my car in my driveway after taking my kid to school in my pjs, doomscrolling and procrastinating, desperately wishing I didn't have to function today. How's your morning??

I always thought stories were hilarious & classmates thought I was weird, b/c they were interpreting straightforwardly while I read sarcasm & irony into literally everything. Is that what's happening here? Is this brand genuinely chasing the Marlboro Man demo & I'm inferring false humor? (2/2)

Heads up, calling these Morrissey sticks from now on.
