Song of the Day 5/21: 100 gecs, “Hollywood Baby”
I haven’t listened to much hyperpop, but this song by 100 gecs, from their recent album “10,000 gecs,” caught my ear with its syncopated rhythm and aggro lyrics that seem to apply to some of the camera hogs in Congress. Do you wanna party? Malibu Barbie Are you gonna pack that shit up when it […]

Song of the Day 5/19: The Who, “Bargain”
Seems Dodderin’ Joe Biden is doing it wrong again. After saying he wouldn’t negotiate on raising the debt ceiling — itself a negotiating stance — he’s now negotiating on raising the debt ceiling.
