Song of the Day 6/3: Rufus Thomas, “Do the Funky Chicken”
Being a Republican must be exhausting. You have to be on high alert at all times, sensitive to every threat to Our American Way of Life, plus you have to keep an updated list of who’s on your team and who’s working for its triple enemies Satan, socialism and Soros. It’s not easy keeping track […]

If You’re Not Already Watching CNN, You Almost Certainly Won’t Watch After Reading This. One of the best long-form pieces of journalism on, um, journalism and journalists I’ve ever read.

Bill Hader is […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: May, 2023
Yeahyeahyeah, I know, lots more singer/songwriter, less diversity, than usual. Hey, I can only work with what comes my way. Besides, these are good singer/songwriters, and I’ve unearthed a RIGHTEOUS Curtis Mayfield cover. Plus I’ve now introduced you to AJJ, Nourished By Time, and Summer Salt. So stop yer complainin’!
