Donna the Buffalo - Seems To Want To Hurt This Time
I first heard this in the parking lot of CVS Pharmacy on East Andrew Johnson Highway at Haun Drive on an NPR affiliate station at ETSU, I think. I didn't pull out of the parking lot 'til it was over. Very important piece of music to me. Hits the spot for a full 11 minutes. Nice.

Fucked Up - Two Snakes (Listen Hard)
This thing really, literally delivers on a high note at the end. Fucking cello even, maybe.
Fucked Up - Paper The House - A Masterpiece of Rock & Roll ("Just a kid wonderin' where his dad went.")
Paper the house. Paper the kids. Paper the goddamn paper. This is great! This gets a critical praise hard-on the size of a French baguette. Fucked Up is anything but. What an absolute marvel of a rock and roll masterpiece. In the enduring words of Kim Deal, this thing is Gigantic!

Before and After: My Brother
These images are of the same man. The earlier version, who is adjacent to a young woman, not pictured, is handsome and ostensibly well. Movie star good looks, and a breathtaking singing voice. Now, fast forward and add congentital mental illness, through absolutely no fault of his own, and congenital self-medication with alcohol and, well, the lower image says it all, especially when he installed a firearm into the already volatile mix. It's heartbreaking. Utterly sad. And there's not a thing anyone can do about it now. Whomever sold him the pistol should be whipped with it. Viciously.

Preacher Marcus Lamb, who spread vaccine lies, dies after being hospitalized with Covi...
The question is, how many of brother Marcus Lamb's followers became unnecessarily sick or unnecessarily dead because of his self-rightous blather.
Arcade Fire - Arcade Fire presents Sprawl II (Directed by Vincent Morisset)
This one will never get old, which, I suppose, means that it will one day be considered timeless. I mean, how could it not? Paper dresses never go out of style. And I haven't even mentioned what lies behind the brilliant direction of this, so called, "video." The music. Jeeeeeeeesus! It seems that I'm still watching television. But, now I'm listening exponentially more intently than those days when I sat in front of the centralized furniture piece with his huge tube and ate potato chips on polyester carpet while watching Batman and Robin with a snow white cat, named Muff at 4105 Watson Road where the phone number was 8777448. What a beautiful cadence.

The Cure - A Forest (1980) full 12” Single
Big shout out ot sipsun8, whomever you may be for locating and posting this treaure. How did this escape me in 1980? I was doing everything right: drugs, sex, alcohol. Some way or another, I didn't lock in to the Cure until a decade later. This was/is one of Emily's favorite songs. Played it for her when she was a baby.

Great cover of Walking on the Moon, by one of my favorite bands, the Police. This is a great song about falling in love.
