During the journey of building my musical knowledge as a little boy, it was Run DMC that introduced me to Aerosmith. I had no idea who those white guys were.
(“Walk This Way” with Aerosmith)
I know it was supposed to be vice versa, but I didn’t know Aerosmith yet. I’m glad the collaboration happened though.
Good news – Happy Friday Eve and I ran.
(#136)
Oh yeah – Run DMC – on this date back in 1986 released their Raising Hell album, which featured “Walk This Way.”

Not easy finding a song with “teeth” in it. So – yes, it’s Save Your Tooth Month but Shouldn’t that be a year round goal?
Brush your teeth every day / Floss every day / Run a 5K every day

Buffalo Springfield – that’s a band that birthday boy, George Carlin would enjoy.
He’d also listen to some guy named Bob Dylan.
(“The Times are A-Changin'”)
That’s what I read back in March – George Carlin enjoyed those bands
Back then, it was run #71

I realize there are far better songs for mothers.than track #1 “Mama” of the self-titled Genesis album from 1983
(“Mama” Hahaha)

On this date back in 1994, Philly’s Homegrown G. Love and Special Sauce released their self titled debut album

That song “Cold Beverage” was on the album. I have zero good transition to deliver today but simply I ran.
(Day #130)
I did race last night – got 2nd place for my old man group of 50 to 59. 16th overall with a 22:28 time. Looking forward to breaking my 22 minute mark this year at some point with another 5K race.

Happy Weekend . . . I was struggling today. I know that I’ve talked about The National and how much they pull me through dark times (clip) Dark times – that sounds so evil. But – it can be easy to punch back at yourself. I do have someone else that is a guilty musical pleasure that helps put a smile back on my face. (clip) That’s right Angels & Airwaves it’s a band of Tom DeLonge’s. Besides them and Blink-182, in the long ago past, he also had a one off album called Box Car Racer (clip)
So good – alright who’s coming up: Dexter and the Moonrocks, some Brent favorites – Fitz, Berninger, and Elbow, we’ll also discuss Miley, Sleep Token, and More.
(Countdown Video)
New Music Weekend:
Four guys from Abilene, TX call themselves – Dexter and the Moonrocks (“Ritalin”) Last year, they released a six-pack of songs with the EP – Western Space Grunge (“Sad in Carolina”) This past week they released: Happy To Be Here – another six-pack of songs – for those who are counting – that tallies up to a half a case of music between last year and today. The song that I’ve been enjoying off this new EP is the tune “Sarahtonin” (clip)
Three rapid fire clips of Brent Music (“Clap”) Fitz and The Tantrums have officially begun the Spotify countdown to their new album that is arriving on July 25th. It’s called – Man on the Moon. That album’s title track just dropped this past week (clip) I talked about The National earlier. Their lead singer is Matt Berninger who has his 2nd solo album – Get Sunk – coming out at the end of this month. He’s already treated us to two of the album’s tracks and now we have a third called “Inland Ocean” (clip) British band Elbow are following up their 2024 album – AUDIO VERTIGO with AUDIO VERTIGO ECHO elbow EP 5 which appears to be like a continuation of the band’s release from last year. I’ll take it! And – we can all have it on June 6th. In the meantime, Elbow is giving us one its songs – “Sober” (clip)
Several quick hits of new music: On May 30th, we get the 9th studio album – Something Beautiful – from Miley Cyrus. 13 tracks in all. 3 have already been handed out to us. Today, we get the 4th single called “More To Lose” and, of course, a video to go along with it. Visit brentevans.net for the link // The mysterious UK band, Sleep Token, have unveiled their fourth studio album called Even in Arcadia. Why so mysterious? Well, if you don’t know, Its members remain anonymous by wearing mask. I could claim to be one – I am so not. I can’t play. I’m just a good listener and so far, I’m enjoying Sleep Token // A band that I’ve talked about several times here before is noshows. The band doesn’t appear to have any full blown album coming our way, but a cover was dropped of the classic song ‘Free Ride’ (clip)
Thank you to Spotify, Rolling Stone, Apple Music, uDiscoverMusic, Pigeons & Planes, Pitchfork, Louder, Spill Magazine, Dan Deluca of the Philly Inquirer & I know there’s more.
I put together a Spotify playlist of the songs that I talked about and thought about today for New Music Friday. Click here for that! Anything that I really messed up and missed – well, that’s why I’ll be doing Missed Music Monday on Monday.

I was first introduced to that song with the sitcom “Bosom Buddies” – it was the opening theme song – Billy Joel’s “My Life” – but it was performed by Gary Bennett
(“My Life” – Gary Bennett)
Bosom Buddies was only around for 2 season and included a very young Tom Hanks acting in it. I mainly watched because of Donna Dixon who played Sonny.
(clip)
She was delightful – just being honest. I also have to be honest in that “I didn’t run . . . yet.”
(#129 – not yet)
I’ll be running in the Unlocke the Night 5K race this evening – that will be run #129

We are cutting edge here with new music. Looking forward to it this weekend.
For now though – Happy Friday Eve and I ran.

That’s the type of song that gets in your head and lives there.
