This is the Bsky page for the band Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders - one of the few bands to walk away from 2 record deals, have a number 1 hit (indie) and win (so far) 13 Radio Music Awards. Chris makes all the posts himself. linktr.ee/animeraider
Day 9
I have chosen to interepret this one as a band that prominently features a violinist. So yer gettin' The Wonder Stuff - for a time one of the biggest bands in England and IMHO the best.

Day 8
No, I'm not doing that fucking Baha Men song. For today you get some seriously old school Lobo.

Day 7
Sorry I'm late - I sleep on weekends. This was always going to be this track. Eddie himself played the sax on this track, and he played it live too. Sweet dude, and I miss him.

No. We won't stay silent.
And while many people have done remakes of this song, I need to steer you towards Joe Jackson's wild interpretation:

Day 6
I have chosen to interpret this as "See No Evil" which of course let's me guide you to the amazing band Television and their song, "See No Evil". These guys were indie/alt-rock before the phrase was even invented.

God's teeth - The Well. Had to dail in to a server based in Marin. I hope it's not the fog of age but I remember that fondly - at least in the early days.
I've had this online handle since those days.
Day 5
I didn't start collecting the soundtracks to all of the anime I watch until "Vision of Excaflowne" came along, starring both in acting and singing a 17 year-old Sakamoto Maaya. Everything changed with this song.

Day 4
Using this for the "No Glyph" emoji because I'm a cheeky bastard, and because this song derailed my own music career for a time (long story and it wasn't Michael Penn's fault). I can look back objectively and say it's a good song.

How I arrived on BlueSky:
If this fucking bill becomes law I will set up a reading library outside my home with EVERY BOOK THEY BAN inside.
Rock is doing just fine, Billy. Yes, there is some kick-ass stuff coming from Mexico. You should give it a listen.
Day 3
I love every track on this Joe Jackson album, but this tongue-in-cheek look at the "Everything Gives you Cancer" trend that was just really kicking off at the time is a nice deep jazzy cut that is worth the listen.

here is the blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2609. The playlist is embedded, so you don't need a Spotify account to access the music. I also blog about the music selected and the news stories of the day.

Oh, and do you know who the Crime Administration sent to preside over the UN Security Council today, while everyone else is busy doing war stuff at Mar-A-Lago? Melania. Seriously, #Melania. Looks like that "documentary" is gonna need a coda.

Day 2
This is one of the least Clash sounding songs that The Clash ever did. I mean, everyone is going to pick the same few songs for today's pick so I wanted to go off the beaten path.
Nearly picked "Ace of Spaces" by Motorhead though.

Day 1
If you ever gave these lyrics a listen, you'd discover that it's the only Van Halen song about a car. Less certain about the Van Hagar Era though.
DLV wrote the lyrics in response to a music critic claiming he only wrote songs about women and cars.

Dear World:
Don't you fucking DARE to treat him like a serious leader now.

An awful lot of people seem to be hopping on board the idea that all of this was the right call because they managed to take out Khameni, who was admittedly universally hated.
But this is how crimes get buried.
#EpsteinFiles
A country that wants to educate the children of their soldiers? You know, like we do?
I think it's worth pointing out to all of the #AmericaFirst people (if it is true that Khomeni is dead) that the current person at the top of the food chain is now the person who had led the most regime change overseas of any President in history.
Just worth considering.

I find it interesting that my feed has had zero stories about the fact that we ust declared war on Iran.

Strings arranged by Isobel Griffiths. **chef's kiss**
I saw Bjork on her recent tour where the band was made up of 8 floutists - played all new music, save for this song. I was jaw-droppingling great.
What is taters, precious?
I gotta admit, the number for Taters being higher than the number for Tater Tots does throw off the math.
Where are these dollar pizzas? Even the 7-11 pizzas are more than that.
"Caught"?
How about "Gawked At"?
Someday I hope to have gained just enough notoriety to be asked to play/sing on a @scarypockets.bsky.social remake.
We're in the same city, so why not?
(That's an assumption - I've been to the Patreon offices)
No, I'm not watching his fucking speech.
If you find yourself in a pot of boiling rage after, I highly recommend listening to my album "The Overnight Train", available wherever you get your music.
As for me I will be in my studio trying to summon the spirit of Bruno Mars. I got mixing to do.
