For the million of you who made the same snarky joke about these songs not being modern: “Modern Rock” was a designation of radio station, starting in the early 80s that played new wave rock that wouldn’t be right on “Mainstream Rock.” The format evolved into “Alternative Rock.”
Yes, to Killing Moon/ Private Idaho/ Uncontrollable Urge/ I Melt With You.

Add some X/ Plimsouls/ Blasters/ Go-Go’s/ Three O’Clock/ Los Lobos/ Bangles/Untouchables/ Dream Syndicate/ Dramarama/Oingo Boingo for LA in the 80s local flavor.
This modern rock roundup only did about the half the business the country roundup did the night before. Raises fascinating questions about my follower base. Will learn more next weekend as we jump into AM pop and classic rock oldies. But not till then, please...

I don’t mean this as any innuendo or entendre. But Lindsey Graham has a legitimate problem with women. From Hillary Clinton to Kamala Harris to even Nikki Haley, Graham is filled with rage and disparagement for strong women of both parties.
I didn’t watch the whole episode. But what possible justification could there be for impeaching Kamala Harris? And even if you’re just making ad hominem attacks, why say Kamala Harris and not Joe Biden. I mean sure, his trouble is just as likely with people of color as with women
I’ve said it before, but it’s impossible to believe that his best friends not only included John McCain but Joe Biden. His transformation to fully-formed Trump acolyte is as stunning as it is complete. Theories abound obviously. But still, it’s a profound disappointment.

Do you seriously think that Bruce Springsteen hoping for decency, civility, and a common set of values is really a tacit endorsement of white supremacy?

Seriously?

No, seriously?

I might need a break from Twitter.

Nattering nabobs of negativity are making me lose my mind.
Everyone is talking about “the church.” I’m as Jewy as they come and I don’t remember a church in the commercial. I don’t speak for anyone but myself, but it did not trigger me as being pro-Christian or anti-religious pluralism.
Furthermore, in no way am I diminishing anyone’s right to feel what they feel. I’m simply arguing that diminishment or marginalization was no one’s intent.

You may disagree with me. But I’m not going to apologize for not being more outraged by a fucking Jeep commercial.

Tonight’s Friday Music Thread: Tunes that in a more just world would be better known than what’s played on oldies’ radio. No order. Just #SongsIWishMorePeopleKnew. Feel free to share your own. 1st up, Bob Mould, from Husker Du, with See a Little Light.

Here’s one I post a lot because I can’t believe it’s not a classic. The Monkees, written by Ben Gibbard. It’s Me & Magdalena. #SongsIWishMorePeopleKnew

Big in UK, nothing here. A new wave classic. The Only Ones-Another Girl, Another Planet. #SongsIWishMorePeopleKnew
