Fun mashup. For some reason I've been stockpiling old Best of Booties. |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Hypnotize Mama (Notorious B.I.G. vs. David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha & Afrojack) DJ Schmolli |
Hiphop mash. For some reason I've been stockpiling old Best of Booties. |

Excellent hiphop. Wish I could roll my Rs. Caught this on some random tweet. |
| Track Suit Kopanitsa Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band |
"Track Suit" is a popular song in the HONK crowd- this mixes it East European hardcore. My friend Dave B had a copy of the new ENSMB album when it was still upcoming, we listened to it on the way back from PRONK |

| Backatown Trombone Shorty |
Instrumental, some sweet horns. My young bandmante Ezequiel loves this song, we might try to work up an arrangement for our group. |
|
| Chun-Li Nicki Minaj |
I think there's a Street Fighter backstory I'm missing here... this page on Tik-Toks |
|
| Under the Milky Way Sia |
Very pretty and romantic song. Reading up the back story of that old VW "Pink Moon" ad, originally they were thinking of the original version of this, but I liked this better than "The Church"'s original. |
|
| Once In a Lifetime Talking Heads |
Kind of a classic... Saw David Byrne live recently! Realized I didn't have much of his older stuff. |
|
| Atheists Don't Have No Songs Rocky Mountain Jewgrass |
I think Steve Martin made up this song maybe? But I like this version better. Found a reference to it doing Blog cleanup... |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ | To Turn You On Nataly Dawn & Ryan Lerman |
This song moved me greatly when first hearing it... it just captures all the energy of every post-breakup person I've chased after. - found doing backlog grooming |
| Holy Water Struggle Jennings |
Kinda redneck hiphop, and I think Jesus-y? from the end credits of the season finale "What We Do in the Shadows" |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Super Good Leningrad |
Russian song - Melissa look up the translation, about how many of his peers left the country but the singer stayed behind and is doing "Super Good" From "What We Do in the Shadows" orgy episode end music ... |
| You Spin Me Round (feat. Silver Letomi) Auralnauts |
The old How To Make A Blockbuster Movie Trailer had this song with "Introduce Unexpected Cover of a Classic Hit" (more specifically, 'creepy gal singing...' I'd say) - they released it as a single but honestly they left way too much movie trailer in it - a proper moody female vocal cover of "You Spin Me Round" would be awesome. |

| What More Can I Say JAY-Z |
Angry hiphop. Seeing Trever Noah live, this was his walk-on music. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Stronger Youngr |
Beautiful modern stuff. Heard in a New Jersey Old Navy |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | They Don't Make Em Like Me Pigeon John |
I adore the Motown sound of this, combined with modern stuff This was background music for a new RAZR phone ad |
| A Thousand Miles Vanessa Carlton |
What am I, a young woman in the early 2000s? Maybe. Some random Youtube recommendation. |

| ★ ★ ★ ★ | The Wire HAIM |
Acoustically these folk are doing really interesting stuff, and the breakup theme, but from the breaker rather than breakee, is a good match to "To Turn You On" above. This tweet: "What is the name for the mental disorder where you listen to The Wire by Haim five times in a row" --@bea_ker |
As a liberal, do you agree with Donald Trump on anything at all? An interesting point about how Trump maybe has the benefit of challenging some of the presumptions of the global political status quo. Right now I'm reading "A Warning (by Anonymous)" and I think both that book and the Quora answerer also point out that- he does not study issues nearly deeply enough or listen to enough studied opinions for a person who wields as much power as he does.
Also, compared to the Neocons, he's less bellicose - GWB nostalgia is kind of weird given that whole Cheney Iraq trumped up thing.
(I am by no means a Trump supporter or fan, and I also recognize that focusing on his global political outlook is neglecting the damage he is doing to so many groups at home.)
