Alert readers will recall my singing the praises of those guys on previous occasions, but I gotta say -- they have thoroughly outdone themselves with this new one.
I try my best to hear what everybody hearsHeh.
But all I hear is quickly boring me to tears
It seems I am the only one who is appalled
And what they play, I have no idea what it’s called
And speaking of art imitating life or vice versa, a few hours before I first heard the above I had decided to start posting a new series tentatively titled "True Confessions," in which I was gonna go on at some length about various sacred cow bands/artists, i.e. ones that apparently everybody else but me loves. I may still do it, but after hearing the above, it seems kinda redundant.
In any case, well done, John Sally Ride guys -- that song really made my week. And I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
P.S.: I should also add the proprietor of a certain political blog I frequent has a habit of putting up videos by some of the worst bands of all time -- and all of them in a genre whose name I have never been satisfactorily apprised of.
Let's just say I plan to share this post with him. 😎

Steve, Why harsh someone's mellow by focusing on some of the worst bands of all time? "Let us not talk falsely - the hours getting late" - so no insincere praise of things we don't like, but let's look at what we enjoy
Not a rock or rock-adjacent song, but otherwise relevant to yesterday's theme - September Song
Oh, it's a long, long time from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
or, I suggest, for the disparaging game either - something you dislike may be a pleasure to someone else, or vice versa - for example, the blog where I comment the most has a host who hates the Doors, for reasons not specified - I really like them, but just don't bring them up
"Go for the Up" , as a Utopia song put it [although admittedly Todd is quite willing to do negative songs, too]
just a suggestion - I know that after careful consideration you will do what seems best to you - with best wishes in the search for truth, justice, and a better tomorrow
Like I said, after hearing the JSR song, the idea seems kinda redundant. 😎
This guy captured my feelings about a lot of newer music:
