These new Mike D solo songs have me very excited for a potential album or tour with his kids band.

[SKT]

We let the kids make our recent roadtrip playlist and it was nuts in a good way. The Kinks, Fountains of Wayne, Disney’s Descendants Soundtrack, Wilco, sombr, The Beach Boys, The Cure, Phoebe Bridgers, The Clash, Vampire Weekend, Olivia Rodrigo, Old 97’s. My proudest moment… Descendants soundtrack notwithstanding (and lots of newer acts whose names I can’t remember)

@SKT Whenever I went on road trips with my son, I insisted that he make the playlist. Great memories!

Fountains of Wayne

I could take or leave the single but welcome interstate managers is a criminally underrated album

Second leg of the trip home took an 80’s turn but stayed eclectic. Queen, G’nR, Panda Bear, Billy Joel, K-Pop, Geese, Hall & Oats, Soccer Mommy, Tommy James and the Shondells…it was a wild ride.

@SKT assuming you are streaming your algorithim must be confused AF right now

[SKT]

@GraemeE it was on their device so my algorithm remains pure

[GraemeE]

@SKT good man

I do the same - my account must remain unsullied from the likes of Hamilton, descendants, k pop demon hunters, zootopia etc....

[SKT]

@GraemeE honestly them getting old enough to have their own Spotify accounts has been algorithmically cleansing

@SKT I did a really cool/fun cover of I Think We’re Alone Now. Maybe I can find a way to get it to you. The woman who arranged and sang the background vocals had previously worked with Petula Clark. Jay Elle was the singer/guitar player I was working with at the time that we did this arrangement. You can probably find it under his or her name…Margaret Dorn.

Full length Mike D album 8/28. Can’t wait.

@Matt ordered the purple splatter vinyl direct from his site. Can't wait. Honestly it's going to be awesome, live show was incredible.
fyi : his merch is top quality, can recommend.

[Matt]

If he comes around I’m for sure going.

The more I listen to the new Social D album the more I like it. Didn't think they had it in them after their last one to be honest

[Bridger]

Just another gig. Yes, that is Page in the crowd.

I saw Macca doing his album launch tonight, so felt timely.

@Tago-Mago same. took some time, but it really grew on me.

and me for an open-air in Hamburg in August

I somehow keep coming back to The Doors. They were a major influence during my late teens. The blues and the grooves, but also the atmosphere and—usually with a bit of neurotropic assistance—the psychedelia. Tonight, this one fits perfectly.
