morning babble / Friday 07-12-24
DISCLAIMER:
This is the scribble that leads to the babble.
Sometimes, it gets tidied up; other times, not so much.
When all else fails: there’s video!
(“Without Me” – Eminem)
That song always makes me smile. Years ago, my brother-in-law Barry coached his little girl’s soccer team and during warm-ups, he had them sing the beginning of that song.
(“Without Me” – Eminem)
Probably not the most ideal song for them to sing, but apparently they belted it out
(“Without Me” – Eminem)
(Morning Babble Intro)
Hi. We made it. A full solid week after a holiday fun-filled work shortened week last week . . . is never fun. So, again – we made it. You know who else made it?
(“How You Remind Me”)
Nickelback reached number one on the recent week’s Hot Hard Rock Song’s chart for their song “How You Remind Me” which came out 23 years ago in 2001. Why? Well, Netflix released the band’s new documentary called “Nickelback: Hate to Love.” (clip) I haven’t seen it. I’ll be honest I was never all in on the band, but they don’t have bad music. (“Photograph”) That line always bothered me though – “And what the hell is on Joey’s head?” As for what that exactly is on Joey’s head, well apparently it was a champagne bucket. I’ll provide a link to the webiste explaining it all. For a quick peak at the image, I’ll have to play the beginning of the “Photograph” video (clip)

New Music Friday:
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!
- First up – Orville Peck – he has some interesting songs (clip) The song is called “Cowboys are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other” – it’s a duet with Willie Nelson. It’s included on his Stampede: Volume 1 album which came out this past May. It’s fun and very good. (clip) Today though, there’s another duet he’s performing on, but this time – it’s with Beck (clip) The song will appear on Peck’s Stampede: Volume 2 duets album which is fully released on August 2nd. Here’s the new song called “Death Valley High” (clip)
- Katy Perry has a new song out (clip) (using inhaler) She’s so healthy. Play more – by the way, it’s called “Woman’s World” (clip) I’m just going to sit for a little bit. That single is set to appear on Katy’s upcoming album 143, which will be released on September 20th. Is it hot in here? (be right back)
- (clip) The 12th studio album is out now from Eminem and it’s called The Death of Slim Shady. He’s angry. Sounds like he’s trying to get cancelled. (clip) I’m still listening to it – quietly. I have an 8-year-old. Over an hour of new music. The song being pushed on Spotify is “Somebody Save Me” which includes Jelly Roll (clip)
- Several quick hits of new music: Mustafa has announced his debut studio album called Dunya (Dune-E-uh) is out on September 27th. One of the producers on the just released “SNL” song is Aaron Dessner. He’s from The National – I’m a fan. // Welsh producer-songwriter – Kelly Lee Owens has a new song out called “Love You Got” – go listen to that dancing fun // We got a couple songs that were previously released but today we have new acoustic versions. One is from Awolnation and “Panoramic View” – the other is “Fortnight” with Post Malone and Taylor Swift
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.
Be sure to check out the playlist on Spotify. As I mentioned in the beginning, it’s a playlist of songs that I’ve talked about and thought about: so, you’ll see some new music there from Jagwar Twin and lovelytheband doing the song “Tomorrow”, Little Image, and Teddy Swims (“Funeral” song is good), and anything that I really messed up and missed – well, that’s why I’ll be doing Missed Music Monday on Monday.
