{sniff} Deep lachrymosal response.
Here is Emilie Nicolas with a live performance of "Feel Fine"
This song was released around 54 years ago, and it's more applicable for today. The only lyric that might need changing is " the only person talking about loving thy brother is the preacher."
Sadly, even that statement is no longer truthy.
Here is "Ball of Confusion" as recorded by The Temptations.
If this doesn't prove we're on an alternate timeline, I'm not sure what will.
Here is what Spotify has listed as the latest single from Michael Franks. Yeah, that's right, the same guy who banked dozens of soft pop hits like "Popsicle Toes"

Stand up, jump around, get warm
Here's "Bad Knees" by Ghost-Note
"Even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it"
- TFG, on the sub-zero temps for Iowa's caucus
Right now the real feel temp is -2. A difference of over 60 degrees in one day.
I'm huddled in front of my computer, migrating two servers (must be done on a weekend), wearing a watch cap, sweater AND hoodie, as well half-finger insulated gloves, hoping that the power doesn't go out.
Just now this beautiful collaboration between Sleep Token and Loathe poured out through my speakers, a somber song but a beautiful rendition.
It warmed me.
Trump Contagion 2024, by Dr. Bandy X. Lee
Growing up in a very religious household limited my music choices when I was young. Even though my horizons naturally expanded once I approached college, there are still some songs and artists from those early times that stick in my memory.
This morning I woke up with one of those old songs echoing in my noggin.
So, not my usual share, but a good song... here's "Hero" by Steve Taylor (with a fan video that also strikes a chord)
"Oh, I'm never gonna be the same again / Now I've seen the way it's got to end / Sweet dream, sweet dream"
ELO - "Strange Magic" (Jeff Lynne) (1976, The Midnight Special)

I don't really care, because if you like music in any of these labels, this is intriguing, and definitely worthy of your consideration.
Also: I MUST find one of these masks.
Happy author grin at this review of my sf novel, #JAYDIUM (published under my former name, Wheeler) 'Ms Wheeler writes a mean spacetime story, with great action sequences' #jaydium #scifi #spacetimereads Buy it here: https://buff.ly/48KJD0W Read the review here: https://buff.ly/48lRBhf
From the "Just sending it out to the universe" department:
Similar to the trial footage we saw a few days ago, where a defendant jumped the bench to land on the judge during his trial, I'm anxiously awaiting footage of TFG finally losing it and attempting to launch himself over a table at Jack Smith.
(the key word there is 'attempting')
Yeah, it's #politics but it's also wishful thinking.
moar bones!
I really dig trombone choirs. If you do, as well, here is a small gem to get you going today. It's "Michelin Radial" by François de Roubaix
I dunno, in today's environment, this seems like a pretty important decision to me:
We're bouncin' now!
