OK, fellow babies, here 'tis - #MatthewsMonthofMusic!

My hope is that these prompts inspire you to spin some songs that are NOT universally known - Serendipity is one of the best ways to find new music and artists

Please use the hashtag so that I may find all your MOST EXCELLENT SONGS!
Can we stop falling for Trump's "OMG BIDEN'S AUTOPEN" bullshit?

Fuck why is that we continually have to grant every single shit he spews some sort of gravitas?

We discuss it ad inifinitum as though Trump's insanity has some merit.

He's wrong.

He's wrong in everything thing he says!

Everything!

Every once in awhile I will suddenly remember that the Judybats, the Rave-Ups, and the Sidewinders should have been huge.

They were talented, made great music, had the energy, even were radio-ready.

Why were they not huge and others were?

(Yea, I know the answer)
Still always amazes me

High earners and people with high wealth should pay a disproportionate amount of the taxes because they are the ones whose lives have been most benefited by the system and will be least affected by the tax burden. We allow them to exist on condition they pay society back generously. That’s the deal.

When flying in future years, I want to hear, "Now early boarding opens for our military veterans, except for those who murdered fisherman in the Caribbean"

During WWII a German vessel fired upon sailors floating in the sea after the Greek vessel Peleus was sunk. The officers were tried and convicted in the Peleus War Crimes trial.

The worst part of this site are all the Star Wars fans trying to act like Star Wars has some sort of actual artistic depth.
The worse part about this site are the 45 year old liberals who hate the Star Wars prequels.

Talked to a Navy friend of mine last month about the Caribbean strikes and he confirmed that yes, there are strict rules of engagement and every one of those guys knows that what they are committing murder.

This the same famed Seal Team 6 that took out bin Laden?

Whatever ... now they are committing murder, so fuck 'em.
Cold blooded murder.

August in Fredericksburg
brutal heat
forced us to Uber
back to the Airbnb -
but the quaint shops
1950s storefronts,
we slept that afternoon
dreaming of returning in
December,
all Christmas lit
and Hallmark movie
and us in sweaters
falling back into
Love
