"Here he comes....." Micky Dolenz has a new four-song EP, Dolenz Sings R.E.M. Here is his version of the 1991 hit Shiny Happy People. The home movies are fun to see.

Well good for him, but I'm not crazy about his reworking of the song. And I guess the video has a few interesting moments, but...

Today on the Life With John Mayer channel I heard When I Get My Hands On You by the New Basement Tapes. Bob Dylan wrote the song in 1967 but never recorded it. The New Basement Tapes are – is? – Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford, Dawes singer/guitarist Taylor Goldsmith, My Morning Jacket singer/guitarist Jim James and Carolina Chocolate Drops singer/fiddler/banjoist Rhiannon Giddens. Mumford and Goldsmith composed music for the song and included it on the 2014 album of Dylan songs Lost On The River. The group took their name from The Basement Tapes, a 1975 album of songs recorded by Bob Dylan and The Band in 1967-68.

I dig it!
I'll have to keep my eye out for that and hopefully more on XMU. I can picture it getting a little play on Alt Nation too.

I drive my son's car once a week while he's away at college. I set up my Onyx radio in it. I think it was on Pulse that this sweet lil ballad popped up and made me a lil wet-eyed.


I'm a little mixed on the "like my father loves my mother thing", but I can see why you'd appreciate it.

Something I've been wanting to post somewhere is this poppy rocker by indie artist Sasami (formerly of Cherry Glazerr) getting heavy rotation on SiriusXMU. It's not exactly my cup of tea, but I do enjoy it, and at the same time I feel it's the perfect pop song for the Billboard Hot 100. Why it isn't charting there (to my knowledge) is a complete mystery to me.

I dig the song (but can't watch the video... watching her headbang and rock out while singing the way she does drives me nuts).

As for why it's not charting... BROKEN CHART!

Plus, she's not talking about "I'm that bitch. Ayy ayy. I'm the shit. Juice in my cup. You a wack bitch. You a crack bitch. These motherfuckers thought that I forgot I'm that bitch." Which is top-notch modern poetry.

Another SiriusXMU Old School gem. I can't believe I never posted this. It's the ultimate breakup song. I'd put it in the favorite lyrics thread, but I'd have to include the whole thing.

The Mountain Goats - No Children



I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us

I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late

And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town again

In my life, I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong

I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
I hope I never get sober

And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way

I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand

And I hope you die
I hope we both die

On XMU, they were playing all the #15 songs from the "XMU Download 15" countdowns of 2025. The "Download 15" is their weekly dump of the newest indie songs of interest.

I had never heard this before. I'd warn that this is NSFW, but my work computer didn't seem to mind:

Lambrini Girls - Cuntology 101
