Men Without Hats – Jun. 26, 2025
*Men Without Hats – “I ❤️ The ’80s” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV6SF492hNU // https://tinnitist.com/2025/06/30/men-without-hats-totally-%E2%9D%A4%EF%B8%8F-the-80s/ // “Hall of fame songwriter Ivan Doroschuk and Grammy / Juno award winning producer Brian Howes have come together on a new track we know is going to be a classic! Just like MWH smash hits “Safety Dance” & “Pop Goes the World”. This one is a loving nod to the decade that brought us the boom box, neon socks, tube tops and the Terminator. I love the ’80s!” VH1 doesn’t deserve this anthem – and see? Everyone’s realizing I was right about 1987.*

‘Love Chant’
Fire Records – Oct. 24, 2025
*The Lemonheads – “In The Margin” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVT0GrwPQSA // The Lemonheads return with ‘Love Chant’ (out via Fire Records on October 24th), the first album of original material in nearly two decades. Listen to the new single ‘In The Margin’, a classic Dando composition: half-broken, half-beautiful, wrapped around a melody that disarms before it detonates. Evan: “I wanted to have a riffy song, so I wrote riffs all over it. The body of the song was Marciana’s (Marciana Jones). It’s like a full-on 8th grade girl revenge song: ‘Stupidly I left the escape plans out so they could find my way.’” Video by Antonia Teixeira – WE MET HER! Extensive US Tour just announced through November and December 2025. Zero California dates!*

#MagazineTime: Wilco – “Heavy Metal Drummer”
‘Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’
Nonesuch (aka the same Warner-owned corporation they bitched about being on) – Sep. 18, 2001
*#MagazineTime: Wilco – “Heavy Metal Drummer” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeuIQFF7z6E // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Metal_Drummer // “Heavy Metal Drummer” is a song by American alternative rock band Wilco, released on April 23, 2002, as the lead single from their critically acclaimed 2002 album ‘Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’. Written by Jeff Tweedy, the lyrics describe a nostalgic reminiscence of “those heavy metal bands” Tweedy used to go see “on the landing in the summer”, and the loss of “the innocence [he’d] known”. A favorite of fans and critics alike, the song is considered one of Wilco’s best, and one of the greatest alt rock songs of the 2000s. LOL and then we heard the rest of the album of overrated dad rock noodling prog rock jerk offs… I was done at this album, the next shitty one with the egg on it only confirmed it.*
