Something about DJ Earworm’s artistry — the best annual collaborations seem to be during years of heightened political tensions. No doubt in part because the musicians are just as embedded in the culture as the rest of us…

I love the skill and artistry this takes, but it makes me cringe at the hours of listening to pop music to get this right.

@ruemara:
Hey, you! Happy New Year! Or ?, depending.
All we need now is Darkrose and some cats.

My BFF’s daughters came by this week and met Keaton, aka Mr. Charm and Personality. They were suitably impressed, and he enjoyed the attention.

Getting back to music, What This Country Needs Is Foo. Snappy swing from the back shelf of the vault of history.

@Major Major Major Major: The man can turn a depressing phrase with the best of them. I’m hoping 2017 avoids:

@ThresherK (tablet): there are Mountain Goats songs that aren’t No Children. Hundreds!

@Mnemosyne: I can offer another cat: Annie had just come home after having a broken tooth removed. She was still coming off the meds, hence the strange eyes.

I’m hoping Zack de la Rocha comes out of retirement to reunite Rage Against the Machine in 2017.

If y’all want some great mash-ups, check out Umphrey’s McGee and their new record “Zonkey” (no, not making either name up!)
‘Frankie Zombie’ is a mash-up of Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s “Relax” and White Zombie’s “Thunder Kiss ’65”, for instance
My favorite is ‘Electric Avenue to Hell’ – a mash-up of Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue” and AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell”
AWESOME!

Good morning, kids. Just did a big co-op grocery shop. Pounds of veggies to fuel the cleanse I am about to start. I want to start the year in good shape physically, since my psyche has taken such a beating post-election!
