Speaking of

... the great and underrated Colin Moulding:

Here he is singing lead on Billy Sherwood's oddball "Just Galileo And Me."

Because the earth is not flat.

Memorial Day

Memories, Shadows, Ghosts, Duty, Loyalty, Country, Loss.

This may be the only song I've ever heard that captures what I think of as the heart of Memorial Day.

I Got No Friends Cuz They Read The Papers

This song seeped into my brain a few days ago.

And now it won't leave.

There are, of course, much worse things that can happen in life.

Monkees Divided by XTC Equals

A song you should listen to 30 times in a row instead of leaving your house.

This isn't the best song in the world. But it's really, really good.

And if you hear hints of "Dear Madame Barnum" in this, you're not alone.

If the pot won't hold our love

Happy May Day.

Lexington One Two Five

There's nothing quite like the power of music to make different cultures come together.

Like when an eccentric Brit leads a South American street march singalong of a prototypical NYC song.

Good for what ails ya.

There's a reason

why taxes are due today instead of on April 15th.

And I don't care what it is. Because I can't be bothered to sort through it.

It just is.

Okay?

So you have until midnight...
