This is a truly pathetic way for raise campaign funds, and it's insulting as all fuck, but I have to wonder if it will backfire on him?

I mean, what are the odds that many candidates will simply stop saying this name?

I am saddened today to hear of the death of Akebono (Chadwick Rowan), the first non-Japanese to reach #Sumo's highest rank of Yokozuna, and still to this day the only American to reach it (4 Mongolians have done it since).

I met him once. No one will ever confuse me with a small person and I was dwarfed by the man. He was just coming out of a resturaunt as I was going in, and I was honestly startled.

He just danced around me. In his prime he was astonishing.

disclosure: I've seen James McCartney perform live at a little club in San Francisco (Neck of the Woods). I saw Sean Ono Lennon perform once by accident - he was sitting in with The Flaming Lips.

I think the song by James and Sean is perfectly fine. It's a LOT more James than Sean. He doesn't have his father's voice, but who does?

BUT! That OUT-OF-TUNE G String on the guitar in the intro really takes me out of the song for a moment. Anyone can hear it, so I think it was on purpose

Yeah, it's arbitrary and will change before too long, but I'm still gonna take it.

Link to the song in the first reply.

As promised, here is a link to the blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2416.

Includes not just the playlist, but also radio station programming notes about the various shows we will run this week, talk about the new English Teacher album, 10 at 10, and the extra track you can't get from the Spotify playlist.

And a few cheap shots at news of the day, and a video I liked.

That little boy in the CD art (remember when we bought stuff and it came with art?) steps into his father's shoes.

I admit that when I first saw this my reaction was "Russia better zip up their damn pants then."

Baking bread.

Used up all the flour in the house.

Forgot the salt.

No no no no no no no no no.

Did I just hear AUTOTUNE for a moment there on the new Avi Kaplan EP?

A man with THAT voice should NEVER use autotune.

NEVAH!!!!

Friday the thirteenth comes on a Saturday this month.

Collectively known together as "The Republicans don't give a damn about Ukraine" acts.

This is next Monday's agenda for the House Rules Committee.

Holy carp, the new album from English Teacher, their first, called "This Could be Texas"....

It's a GREAT album.

Seriously, stream it/buy it (like I did) at your usual places. You will not regret it.
