I can't believe Todd Snider passed away. I'm devastated. Only one other music artist passing has brought me to tears.

I will be missing you today, Todd. May you finally find peace.

I recently did a Mammoth song, so I'm going to do a second #SongOfTheDay for today.

Escalator to Purgatory by Dirty Shirley

This is a really cool song from 2020 that sounds like it's out of the 80s. Great guitar. Great vocals. Smashing rock song.

The #NewRelease of the day is Last Night On Earth by the great Finger Eleven.

I don't want to call it a return to form, but it's their first new album in 10 years and it kicks hard. So great and so happy to see new music from Finger Eleven.

Just wake up
Not everything will be this tough
Don’t ever think it’s not enough
If it meant anything to you

Think It Over by Mammoth

#SongOfTheDay

Just a great song off Wolfgang's first album. Straight forward modern rock.

Today's #NewRelease is Very Big in Sheboygan by @benquadok.bsky.social

Points for the cheeky title that makes me chuckle. But another solid release from a great post-emo band. Check it out.

Today's #NewRelease is Beneath the Wreckage by Darth Marley and Rev Theory.

This is a great modern rock EP. Each song is great, the music is incredible and filled with sorrow and meaning. This is a top tier release.

Today's #NewRelease is The 20th Anniversary edition of Tea & Sympathy by @bernardfanning.bsky.social

Fanning is the voice of Powderfinger, and this solo album is just as captivating, with a mix of styles that, even after 20 years, sounds just as fresh as ever.

The #NewRelease for today is Private Hospital by Damien Jurado. Damien Jurado has one of my favorite songs of all time in Kola. This latest album is a hard to define, but eloquent and stunning.

My #NewRelease of the day is Cry in Public by Gürl.

I love this band, one of those bands I feel is doing something really unique. They describe it is Metal meets Trap with Pop melodies. This song is great.

I just love Wolfgang and all his music. I love the melody's he writes, and this album is another fantastic example of what he does.

She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult

#SongOfTheDay

A classic today. What an incredible song. It doesn't matter how many times I hear this song, it comes on and I stop what I'm doing and bounce my head. And Ian Astbury, chefs kiss.

The #NewRelease of today is Safe, Sensible and Sane by Alison Brown and Steve Martin.

This bluegrass album is so great, and if you have never listened to Steve Martin's music, do yourself a favor and give this a listen.

Today's #NewRelease is Sea Level by @luafloramusic.bsky.social featuring Brett Dennen.

Such a positive song that just gives out such good vibes. I love Lua Flora's take on the indie folk genre. This song is a great example of what makes them great.
