Ah, that is what I was thinking, but that is a lot better detail and info than I was working with, thank you!

I've been listening to all my kid's terrible musics and the one I emerged liking is 21 Pilots, obviously, so today's earworm is Holding On To You (see below) and Fairly Local, which I actually like better as a song. It grows on you.

Ta-Nehisi Coates has a new piece in the Atlantic on Obama's presidency, which I just read, and in it he returns a few times to quotes from Marvin Gaye's Distant Lover, which is so tragic in this unexpected context and now the song is in my mind. While reading, I felt so sad that we will be saying goodbye to them soon. Maybe it's because when Obama was first elected, our families were the same (two little girls) except they were a little older, but I've always felt they were such role models in life. They will be so missed.

I don't know if I'm in the minority, but I think this is Sleater-Kinney's best album by far (and I love their other albums). One of my favorite albums.

I love the other video that goes with this, which is just... so much! But I have to play the song about a dozen times and have too much work to sit here watching the video!

Now all I can think of is the Grinch. I can't even focus on my emails because GRINCH!

I put my hand into the roaring flame
I felt the pain as it started to burn
I've done the same thing over and over again
As if I never ever wanted to learn

My love song
Went wrong

Didn't get into The Woods either.


11 years nominated for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Niles Rodgers got in (Yay!), but you can't listen to this and say, yes the guitarist, no to the bassist or anyone else.

Niles really goes off in an awesome interview here: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/featu ... ed-w456878

In memory of the now late Debbie Reynolds:

A cello solo I used to play in like 8th grade, no idea why.

A warning to stay away

21 Pilots Polarize is my current earworm.

those night sweat dudes are pretty rocking

I have no idea what's going on but it sure beats reading the newspaper.

[Phoebe]

is like that terrible Kiesza video where she wears the worst outfit of clothing ever witnessed on a human being and dances around in the street with a bunch of people, except different.

I discovered these guys when they opened for Midnight Oil in '88. Wow I'm old.

As they say in clickbait, this gives all the feels
