I play in a hammered-dulcimer-fronted band with eight other musicians who live on three different continents. We only ever see one another when we're touring.

I really love the rock heavy direction DCFC has taken on this track and "Punching the Flowers." The bass in the opening measures reminds me of Deerhunter circa Cryptograms and the guitar line absolutely rips. Bravo, gentlemen!

Song of the week: "I Had a List and I Lost It" by The Drift. This is my favorite track from the band's 2008 record Memory Drawings.

Song of the week: "Tournament" by Nation of Language from the band's debut album: Introduction, Presence. NoL has tapped into its own optimistic sonic universe and this track is going to be on a lot of mix tapes.

Song of the week: "M_L-04" by Arms and Sleepers from the 2020 record: Memory Loops. This dreamy, hypnotic album can only be fully appreciated in its entirety, as I did so often during the COVID pandemic. I wish it was available on vinyl.

Song of the week: "Our Day Will Come" by Dead Can Dance. It's good to hear the return of the hammered dulcimer and the return of inspirational lyrics like this homage to the Palestinians: "I'm coming home when my people are free."

Song of the week: "Not Even Almost" by El Ten Eleven from the band's 2023 record "Valley of Fire." There's a Do Make Say Think vibe to this one that I really love.

Song of the week: "24 Hours" by The Burning Leaves. This one is not a duet, but Indie Mae harmonizes with herself in a few places about two and have minutes into the track. She has one of the smoothest, purest voices I've ever heard.

Song of the week: "Turned Tables" by Should from their 2011 record Like a Fire Without Sound. This is another wonderful duet to soothe your soul during a very dark moment in American history.

Song of the week: "In Your Room" by Devics from their 2003 record The Stars at Saint Andrea, which I recommend revisiting. This is one of my all-time favorite duets, along with "Turned Tables" by Should.

Song of the week: "Cannibal World" by Nothing from the band's new record: A Short History of Decay." As one viewer remarked after watching the video: "I can't wait for the plants to reclaim us all."

Song of the week: " I Just Wanted to Make You Something Beautiful," which I first heard a decade ago on a train from Casablanca to Kenitra in Morocco. I'm sharing it now for the simple reminder that there is still a small amount of beauty in the world.

Song of the week: "Shore Lined Poison" by Skinny Puppy from the band's 1990 masterpiece "Too Dark Park." I have always loved the unparalleled descent into chaos of the final 90 seconds of this track.

Song of the week: "A Brighter Tomorrow" by Mandy Indiana from the new record: Urgh. It's a bleak but cathartic track for those who are enraged by the state-sponsored terror my blind, self-serving government keeps unleashing on imaginary enemies.

Song of the week: "Freedom Fighter" by Bowery Electric seems appropriate after the US military's insane, unprovoked attack on Iran a few days ago. "Another day, another world war / Find out walking through the grocery store." (No more war! No more war!)

Memory Drawings retweeted
The United States is a dictatorship of capital where both parties serve the rich and the entire society is built on exploiting workers at home and waging endless wars abroad all to enrich the billionaire class. This is the regime that needs to change for the world to know peace.

Song of the week: "Last Snowstorm of the Year" by Low. As NJ gets buried in yet another blizzard, this was the first song on my lips this morning.

Song of the week: "Calm Down" by Psapp from the 2004 record Tiger, My Friend. I really miss the lovely voice of Galia Durant and lyrics like these: "Hope / Is the time before action occurs / Hope feels so unfounded."

Song of the week: "Until Your Temples Are Pounding" by Macha from See It Another Way. One listener commented: "One of the best examples of fusion by... any rock band, ever. Absorbed the influences of Indonesia but didn't ape them in any way."

Song of the week: "Mud" by Nicolás Jaar from the 2020 record: Cenizas. According to one listener, this track is playing in the background of episode 1 of the Netflix series The Octopus Murders.
