Song of the Day 4/7: Napoleon XIV, “They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-haaa!”
After Donald the Trump posted his Easter screed, threatening Iran like Iran has never been threatened before – big, beautiful threatening, the greatest threatening they’ve ever seen, many people are saying – the Rude Pundit responded in a way more circumspect pundits didn’t dare: “It Should Be a Bigger Story That the President of the […]
Song of the Day 4/6: Queen, “Hammer to Fall”
Another day, another deadline. Mad Donald, ever projecting, says Iran had better “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” or tomorrow he’ll commit more war crimes by bombing civilian targets. Given that all the bombing so far hasn’t budged the mullahs’ regime, people are worried Trump will go nuclear, literally rather than figuratively. When “Hammer […]
Song of the Day 4/5: Murray Head, “Superstar”
Before the movie, before the stage show, before even the concept album, “Jesus Christ Superstar” began with this single. Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice couldn’t get financial backing to mount the stage production, a retelling of the Passion of Christ with Judas Iscariot as the central character, so they decided to record it as […]
Song of the Day 4/3: The La’s, “There She Goes”
Buh-bye, Pam Bondi. The jangle-pop classic “There She Goes” stands as the crowning achievement of a songwriter who’s been called “the J.D. Salinger of pop.” Liverpool native Lee Mavers, frontman of the La’s, earned the comparison because, like the reclusive American author, he created a critically acclaimed album and then stopped letting the public hear […]
Song of the Day 4/2: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, “Against the Wind”
H/t to Cape Gazette editorial cartoonist Jim Paterson, whose recent cartoon used the title of the Bob Seger song as the headline for his take on the battle between the state and Sussex County over an offshore wind farm. Delaware’s Chancery Court ruled last week that Sussex County can’t deny a permit that would allow […]
Song of the Day 4/1: Elvin Bishop, “Fooled Around and Fell in Love”
Fate played a mean joke on blues guitarist Elvin Bishop. Bishop, who cut his teeth playing with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, is remembered as a one-hit wonder for his composition “Fooled Around and Fell in Love,” but he didn’t even get to sing it. Bishop thought his gravelly voice wouldn’t do the song justice, […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: March 2026
No ‘April Fools’ Gold’ here. So many good ones this month that I had to cut a couple. Don’t fret–I included them in the Spotify playlist. At first, second and third listens, there’s a serious End-Of-Year Top 10 contender in this batch. Which one do you think it is? Takin’ this guy more seriously with […]
Song of the Day 3/31: Unicorn, “No Way Out of Here”
It seems Donald Trump has finally found a bed he couldn’t unshit. Since blundering into his war on Iran, his two chief weapons, bullying and whining, have failed to open the Strait of Hormuz, and according to the Wall Street Journal he’s considering employing his third chief weapon, running away and telling somebody else to […]
Song of the Day 3/30: Sia, “Helium”
Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has bottled up a significant portion of the world’s petroleum and nitrogen-based fertilizer. It’s also choked off a third important resource that’s starting to get more attention: helium. The inert gas is used in a variety of industries, most noticeably semiconductors and medical imaging. While prices will rise […]
Song of the Day 3/29: Tatsuro Yamashita, “Sparkle”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona You’ll be hearing a lot about the K-pop group BTS, international superstars back on stage after completing compulsory service in the South Korean army. But a much more interesting Asian-pop style has been sparking interest in young listeners, thanks partly to a YouTube algorithm that captured their attention. They call […]
Song of the Day 8/27: Seals & Crofts, “Hummingbird”
Darrell “Dash” Crofts, half of the ’70s soft rock hitmakers Seals & Crofts, died Wednesday at 87 in a hospital in Texas. Crofts and fellow Texan Jim Seals met as teenagers when they played together in a rockabilly band there before moving to California and joining the Champs in 1958, after that group had scored […]
New Poll: Who’s Next?
As Trump’s polling numbers keep dropping, it’s only a matter of time until somebody gets the blame. Who do you think will be the next sacrificial bootlicker to walk the plank? Cast your vote at right, and feel free to explain your vote below.
Song of the Day 3/26: Daryl Hall & John Oates, “Out of Touch”
Want to know why Donald Trump thinks the U.S. is winning its war of choice in Iran? Look no further. Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the […]
