Update to a rule of thumb: if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all…unless voicing those words might help others avoid whatever it is your not nice words are about, and/or if it will keep you from internalizing the negative feelings brought about by said thing.

That’s better, isn’t it?

By the way, the new Fontaines D.C. record Romance does not suck, the headline above was just for shock value. Singles “Starburster” & “Favourite” (& their 3 previous albums) put my expectations through the roof & the fact is…the new record fell a tad short of the ceiling. That said I expect it will make global stars of our “Big” boys who fled Dublin, & that’s just fine with me.

Today’s playlist additions will include new 🎵 by Blondshell (Los Angeles, CA, @BlondShell), The Bug Club (Wales, UK, @TheBugClubBand), Fontaines D.C. (London via Dublin, @FontainesBand), Kerosene Kream (Stockholm, Sweden, @Kerosene Kream), & The The (London, England, @OfficialThe_The).

The show will be rebroadcast in its entirety on Friday evening beginning at 7 p.m., Saturday at 5 a.m. & 3 p.m., and Sunday at 1 a.m. ET.
