Song of the Day 11/24: World Party, “Thank You World”
Rather than list all the things to be thankful for, I’m going to go Karl Wallinger’s route and simply thank the world. Wallinger was World Party for most of its existence, playing all the instruments on most of the tracks on the band’s first two LPs, including “Goodbye Jumbo,” where this song debuted. He really […]
Happy Thanksgiving
From all of us at DL to all of you, we hope you Thanksgiving is full of warmth and good cheer and not the usual battle between you mother’s pagan witchcraft and your father’s quasi-Christian doomsday cult.
Delaware Gun Nuts Lose in Chancery Court
The Delaware State Sportsmen’s Association (Delaware’s local NRA affiliate) has taken the position that the state has no right to keep military machine guns out of the hands of children and/or unstable whack jobs. They claim it says so in the constitution. Chancery Court said, get that crazy bullshit out of here. Delaware Gun Nuts […]
Broadcast news covering for right-wingers targeting LGBTQ people

Song of the Day 11/23: Thin Lizzy, “Fight or Fall”
Fans of Irish rockers Thin Lizzy all have the same lament: If you went by classic rock radio you’d think the band only released three songs. Their breakthrough hit, at least in the British Isles, was a rocked-out cover of the folk song “Whiskey in the Jar,” released in 1972. It was another four years […]
ExPat Opportunities Update

With 70% of voting age “gen Z” voters voting for Democrats, this doesn’t seem to be as pressing as it did prior to the mid-terms, but If you’ve ever had your eye on making Italy your home—and don’t want to have to fight your […]
Investigate Hunter Biden? Have At It, Fellas
Right-wing trolls who visit the site all make the same mistake — they think we’re cheering for our football team vs. their football team, and so we must love the players on our football team the way they love their players, no matter how vile. Trolls should do an archive search on how this blog […]

The New DE House Minority Leader Is Ramone
Mike Ramone selected last night to lead the super-minority amid significant drama. Lyndon Yearick is the new whip. The pair beat out Danny Short and Timothy Dukes who apparently spent all of their energy fighting off Ruth Briggs King. Rumor is Ramone pledged to fight like a Republican (?) and thereby signaled that he is […]
Song of the Day 11/22: The Electric Prunes, “I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)”
Garage rock wasn’t called that when bands were actually playing it in the mid-’60s — the name came a few years later, when the “Nuggets” collection was released in 1972 to collect what were by then forgotten tracks. (Yes, kids, that’s how quickly popular music evolved back then.) The name referred to music that critics […]

The floor is officially open for nominations! Who were those who were the most valuable to the progressive cause in Delaware in 2022?
