Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

In my day, never was longer.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Here’s some ’60s garage from the Netherlands. What’s sounding good to you all this week?

Cuby & the Blizzards, “Your Body Not Your Soul” (1966)

    Just picked up the 25th anniversary edition of Paul Simon’s Graceland on vinyl. It’ wonderful, of course. Also, the Avett Brothers’ most recent live album. Love it.

    Stumbled across this and loved the sound of surf rock crossed with tribal music. Led me to do some reading on the group and on Touareg music and culture in general and it was all quite fascinating.

    I love Nuggets II. How about something in a Who cover that’s better than the original?

    Fiona Apple’s new album is awesome.

    That whole Nuggets genre is great.

    Fever Tree, “San Francisco Girls” (1968). Gets going at 0:45 for the ADHD-afflicted.

    And that reminds me of Spirit, “I Got a Line on You.”

    Deirdre Wilson Tabac, “I Can’t Keep from Crying Sometimes.”

    I found this on YouTube years ago draped over a long tracking shot from Mikhael Kalatozov’s I Am Cuba (1964). Really weird but really well done. Someone yanked the video, and I was left with only the song.

    . . . Ah, this was the clip from the movie. Picture it with the song above instead of the music with it.

    Ofo and the Black Company, “Allah Wakbarr.” The whole album is good.

    Indie band from Brooklyn, Here We Go Magic.

    Caught them at Coachella a couple years ago, and saw them again just last week at the wonderful Crescent Ballroom in downtown Phoenix.

    Great show (with a really good local band — Roar — opening).

    Here We Go Magic has a new album out, so they did a lot of that (of course) along with some of their earlier stuff, including my (still) favorite song of theirs, “Collector”.

    Fun, happy mucic.

    Love the Crescent. Anyone who likes what the kids are listening to these days (as I do) and lives in or around Sheriff Joe Arpaio County really should come down to the Crescent to catch some shows. Excellent venue (great vibe, food, and drinks) and live music just about every day.

    Cool, enjoyed the music.

    I suggest you check out the Tuareg band Tinariwen (means “deserts” in Berber) from Mali, if you haven’t already. Former rebel fighters who put down their rifles and picked up guitars.

    Excellent contemporary blues rock with a definite Tuareg twist. Love their stuff.

    Great song from one of my favorite compilations. I just loaded this and Children of Nuggets on my Mp3 player. Also a bunch of James Brown: Love Power Peace, Say it Live and Loud, James Brown’s Funky People I & II.

    Give the drummer some!

    Did 75 miles on the bicycle over the last 3 days too. Down to 192 lbs from a post thyroid cancer surgery peak of 228 lbs.

    I feed good!
