I had a Beck concert T on – sometimes that’s how I pick the music for the day.
(Que Onda Quero cut)
I did run, too. #12
(Day #12)
Still fighting my holiday sweet tooth I’m still being naughty when I see some things
Picked up Dunkin a couple times when I probably shouldn’t have

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “Creativity doesn’t need to make sense.” – by Steven Grasse
Happy Weekend! This week’s new music is bountiful and plentiful – there’s a lot of good stuff. We’ve got The Lumineers, Ben Rector, Japanese Breakfast, Noshows, Let’s begin!
(Countdown Video)
New Music Friday:
I know – I’ve showed this before, but please read along: “I Belong with you. You Belong with Me. You’re my Sweetheart.” (clip) That’s the Lumineers and their song “Ho Hey.” My wife bought me this for Christmas one year. Despite us considering “Ho Hey” like one of “our songs.” It was a while afterwards before I realized it (clip) BUT – that was like 2012 – we do have new music today from this band (clip) “Same Old Song” is track #1 off of their upcoming Valentine’s Day release of Automatic. Also, quick note, but I’m not seeing this now, but Spotify was giving a 30 to 45 second preview of each track. Loved that tease. I went back for it today and it’s all gone. Gotta wait until February 14th. (“Hey”)
This guy is a favorite of mine, so I’ve talked about him before and his “feel good” music (clip) Mr. Ben Rector has already given us 3 new songs from his upcoming album: The Richest Man In The World – I just played the titled track. Today though, we get a 4th (clip) That’s some good dancing there. I can relate. Maybe I’ll – that’s right, we need subscribers. I won’t. Let’s go to him one more time – song is called “I Got It Bad for You” (clip)
Googling this band – I learned that when it comes to the traditional Japanese breakfast, it is a combination of rice, healthy and omega-rich proteins, as well as some soup and pickles. Definitely need to brush your teeth AFTER breakfast. (clip) FYI – Japanese Breakfast is a band who’s 4th album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), will be released early Spring on March 21st – yeah, 1st day of Spring is the 20th. But today, we have single #1 “Orlando in Love” (clip) One more thing – Providing the backdrop to how this album was made – go read Crying In H Mart which is the memoir of Michelle Zauner who is Japanese Breakfast //
Several quick hits of new music: Franz Ferdinand returns with their first album in seven years. 35 minutes of new music spread out over 11 songs – all under the umbrella of an album title of – The Human Fear // The band – Noshows – is making a showing in the new year. I worked on that last night. I actually talked about this band last year when I explained how lead singer – Max Satow (Say-toe) described the band’s sound as being Indie-Hop. Out on all platforms – their new song “Let Me Sleep” (clip) And finally, we got our first taste of Mac Miller’s Balloonerism album which is due out in its entirety next Friday. Until then, we can enjoy the album’s first release “5 Dollar Pony Rides” (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.

So, did 5K Every Day continue? Let’s go to the tape.

Riveting, huh.
I could probably loop that for 30 minutes and that’s how I look on the treadmill

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision.” – by James Clear
However, today was a little tough. I’m clausterphobic and I was feeling that today on the treadmill.
(“Paranoia, Paranoia”)
I can explain.
(“Like I say, I runaway”)
That’s Nilüfer Yanya – someone who I’ve been listening to lately. Missed it back in September when she released her My Method Actor album

On the road today for work – I did get up early and hit the gym for the run.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be sure to go over my morning routine as I tweak it.
So far though – the wake-up time is 4:30am.
(clip)
It’s not pretty at that time. Maybe I’ll have to do a re-enactment?

(Day #7)
Officially ran. 5K Every Day lives on.
That “APT” song – it does get stuck. My daughter has been walking around singing the hook of that song.
(clip)
By the way, Rose – not Rosé – pronounced Rosie – sings that song along with Bruno Mars.

Yeah, I so didn’t run like that on the treatmill today
(Day #5)
That snowstorm on the Sunday overnight is concerning me though. I don’t have a treadmill at home anymore. It broke – 2021 put a hurtin on that thing.
Going to be running in the snow. Stay tuned!
