Seth Meyers takes a hilarious peek at recent developments under the rock that is Trump's failing mind.

5. Elbow – "Things I've Been Telling Myself for Years" Dark, proggy, almost Bowie-esque slowburner from Manchester rockers. #music

https://youtu.be/tF0bfZ6qLak
4. Lenny Kravitz – "Human". The super mod Kravitz is back with this track, which takes a '70s soft-rock backing, soups it up with Depeche Mode percussion and Lenny's hip rebel vocal and somehow makes it cool. #music

3. Travis – "Gaslight" . Veteran Scottish post-Britpop band comes up with this jangly, hooky, horn-peppered tale of psychological manipulation. #music

2. ionnalee – "Innocence of Sound". Swedish art-popper rolls out a postpunk/synthpop gem reminiscent of Kate Bush, The Human League and Eurythmics. #music

My Top 5 Songs of the Week (2024 Week 12):

1. Hozier – "Too Sweet". My 19-year-old turned me on to Irish superstar Hozier, and what can I say, the kid nailed it. On this song, the Black Keys-like bass builds tension through the verses that the choruses release before setting you up for another round. #music

Alien Buddha Zine #61 (April 2024) is now out and contains a 7-page excerpt from Hypnopompic Diaries, my full-length book which is also out now from AlienBuddha Press. Check 'em both out on Amazon. #poetry

Try to make it through Christopher Walken’s scenes in Dune Part Two without giggling at his Shatneristic speech rhythms challenge.

http://www.rulrul.4mg.com/ I'm pleased to announce that another of my hypnopompic diary poems is now posted in the new issue of First Literary Review - East. This one is a direct translation of a dream I experienced. My thanks to the editors, Cindy Hochman and Karen Neuberg. #poetry

5. Chromeo – "Lost and Found". Chromeo take a pinch of synthpop here, add a dash of Controversy-era Prince there (man, those keyboard stings in the chorus take me back!), and whip up this tasty concoction. #music

https://youtu.be/HmlFomhih3g
4. Kid Kapichi – "Can EU Hear Me?" Rousing punk anthem from Hastings (UK) group taking on Brexit's fallout ("I don't want to live alone on this island/but they put it to a vote, and they just kept lyin'") Can't decide whether to smash the system, or just turn this up and shout along. #music

https://youtu.be/8xjBYOBUvNM
3. Myriam Gendron – "Long Way Home". Lovely throwback to the golden age of British folk-rock (Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Nick Drake) from Montreal's Gendron. #music

https://youtu.be/1uQtZDTGM14
2. Liam Gallagher and John Squire – "Raise Your Hands". Maybe it's not as flash as "Just Another Rainbow", the first single released by this meeting of Britpop titans, but this is still a solid chune that plays to both men's strength and will get heads nodding. #music

My Top 5 Songs of the Week (2024 Week 11):
https://youtu.be/RuB2ktUlsRI
1. The Black Keys – "This is Nowhere". Another swingin' single from forthcoming album Ohio Players, this is like audio crack, with its raspy bass riff, super-groovy shuffle beat, and funky organ. #music

@Animeraider Yeah, they just keep putting out amazing record after amazing record.
