Say Anything
Play something that provides sage advice


It is debatable how Sage this advice is but "Life is unfair. Kill yourself or get over it"

Somebody had to do it.

Peter Gabriel ~ So

Friday February 23rd
The Sixth Sense

XTC - English Settlement
Song: “Senses Working Overtime”


Although they only count up to five senses in the chorus, I’d like to think a sixth sense is implied

Say Anything

Soundgarden - Ultramega OK
Song: “Flower”



Before Singles, this was Cameron Crowe’s other Seattle-based film, so of course there had to be some local bands played in the background (though not included on the actual soundtrack)

The 'Burbs

Play an artist or album you feel is underground or underappreciated

Smudge - Manilow


Despite being a big fan of the Lemonheads, it took me too long to be aware of this Australian band, who shared members and some of their songs (and vice-versa) with the Lemonheads

Mark Rumsfield: There go the Goddamn brownies!

Jeff Rosenstock "Hellmode" (2023 Polyvinyl)
Not necessarily the case in these parts, but definitely so in the greater community. Continuously releases fun and well crafted records with interesting lyrics and deserves to be appreciated more widely.

Say Anything
Lloyd Dobler: "I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere?"
Joe: "By choice, man."

Run The Jewels – Run The Jewels 3


"Don't get captured" is solid advice to live by!

Chris Smither is underappreciated imo.
He wrote one of my all time favorite songs...the perfect "you got dumped? Come on, get up, we've all been there" song.
Linking it, unfortunately it's not on this album.

Day 25

Orb - Live ‘93

Possibly because we are a vinyl community, feels like Orb isn’t really talked about much around here/anywhere these days.

This is one of my favorite live albums and I love the nod to the cover of Floyd’s Animals.

Seeing Orb in 95 was a trip (in multiple ways) and a conversation that would be better had in person.

Anyhow, I’m gonna go float on some Little Fluffy Clouds for a bit.

"Perpetual Dawn" is an all-timer too.

I found Kae Tempest through The Comet is Coming, they are featured on the track "Blood of the Past". Made me search out this album that I don't see getting spun much here (nor in my suburbs). Great beats and lyrics.

Kae Tempest ~ Let Them Eat Chaos

Killers of the Flower Moon

Play something about money or deceit.

The river of deceit pulls down, The only direction we flow is down

Mad Season ~ Above

Minnie: [on Ernest] He wants our money.
Mollie Burkhart: Of course he wants money. But he also wants to be settled. He's not restless.
Reta: His uncle has money. It's not money he wants. He loves you.

New Order "Power, Corruption and Lies" (1983 Factory Canada)
