When all else fails: there’s video!
(“Starseed” clip)
The song “Starseed” has always been one of my favorites from the band – Our Lady Peace.
It’s also track #1 on a 6-pack Greatest Hits collection that just came out a couple weeks ago.
(Missed Music Monday opener)
Back in 2023, Our Lady Peace were the Canadian Ambassadors for Record Store Day. They came out with a Limited Edition Greatest Hits Vinyl. I got it from Rainbow Records in Newark, DE.
(“Clumsy” clip)
Don’t listen to that line – never throw away your radio. On this new EP – there’s actual 5 greatest hits and 1 new song from Our Lady Peace. They also say Volume 1, which means more is coming. I’ll be on the lookout.

(Linkin Park “Heavy is the Crown” clip)
Some controversary around the new Linkin Park music coming out.
I just have to say that I’m on the side of really liking it.

(Morning Babble Intro)
Happy Weekend – a full Autumn weekend. Next week is October, then Thanksgiving, and then (Elf clip) I was going to say 2025, but I guess there is that Santa thing happening, too. Just an FYI – Kelly Clarkson just released “You For Christmas” (clip)
It just came out today – it counts.

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!
One of my favorite bands (clip) who came out with two albums last year (show them) The National have announced a new album (“I Need My Girl” clip) It’s not new material, but instead a live album called Rome. Officially drops on December 13th, so a Christmas vinyl gift for Brent is there for the taking (clip) The show that was recorded was from their June 3rd concert in the name of the album: Rome – 21 tracks but 4 have been released already. I played a clip of “I Need My Girl” but here’s a little bit of “Lit Up” which first originated on their Alligator album from 2005 (clip)
Couple weeks ago, I mentioned how Lady Gaga plans to release her long-awaited seventh album next year in February. Album is being referred to as “LG7”. But today, we got a whole different album from the actress who plays Harley Quinn (“Oh, When The Saints”) Big band classics can be heard on what’s being called – Harlequin – and also the companion album to her upcoming film: Joker: Folie à Deux (fully ado) (“Folie à Deux” song clip) Fully Ado is one of two new songs on the album. The other 11 are wonderfully done covers. The other new one is called “Happy Mistake” (clip)
This guy – Alex Warren – he was actually on my Missed Music Monday this past Monday. (“Burning Down” clip) He’s a got a lot of plays on a bunch of his singles. Those singles can all be found on now his fully released album called: You’ll be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) (clip of “Catch My Breath”) “Catch My Breath” is the song being pushed by Spotify today, but you still have 9 others to enjoy. I sorta enjoyed the last track which also the title track of the album – “You’ll be Alright, Kid” (clip)
Several quick hits of new music: British rock band The Cure. That sorta sounds like “Rap Guy’s Girlfriends” (clip) Anyway, The Cure – they released their first new song in 16 years. All 6 minutes and 54 seconds of it – whew – it’s called “Alone” // The Weeknd and Playboi Carti have officially released “Timeless” which is the second preview off of the Weeknd’s new album: Hurry Up Tomorrow // Mother Mother is a band that I listened to on many runs of mine with their song “Get Up” (clip) They just released Mother EP – yes, by the band: Mother Mother. It’s a different sound that I enjoy tuning into at times like “Fat Kids” (clip)

(“Who are you? / I’m Batman” clip)
Not me, I’m just Brent. But today – it’s a global celebration of Batman.
Yes, September 21st is Batman Day
(TV Show Theme Song)
Yeah – I grew up watching that tv show with Adam West – it originated in the 60s. I saw reruns. Same bat time, same channel. I do like Lego Batman though.
(“I’m Batman, I’m Awesome. I got a 9 pack”)
He does have like a 9 pack. Sorry.
Also, on this Bat Day – I want to remind everyone to support your local comic book store –

(“Records” song)
Off the Weezer Summer album – that’s the song “Records”.
But now, it’s time to go Autumn
(“Can’t Dance, Don’t Ask Me” song)
(Morning Babble Intro)
Happy 1st Day of Autumn Weekend . . . it’s officially here . . . Sunday. I am so ready.
Actually, the first victim of Pumpkin Spice creamer went down today. Don’t worry – we have another. Don’t be silly. But this stuff is a problem. I typically want my coffee black – no cream, no sugar. Sumatra. Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. A Dark Roast. But with this – I turn into Buddy the Elf when he’s eating that candy breakfast. (video)
Did I just do a Christmas reference? Too soon? Well, we can now say that Winter is the next season. Don’t worry – I won’t rush it. I love me the Pumpkin Spice Autumn Season.

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!
Was that “Too Fast” (clip) For the past several years, Future has pretty much teamed up with someone else on his music or whole albums themselves, like with Lil Uzi Vert (“Drankin N Smokin” clip) and just this past year with the two albums and Metro Boomin (“Like That”). But now, he dropped a 17 track album called Mixtape Pluto with no features, he’s going all the way solo on this one, first time since 2016. Nevertheless, the song being pushed on Spotify is track #6 called “Too Fast” (clip)
Creeping closer and closer to October 4th which is the full drop of Jake Bugg’s album called A Modern Day Distraction. Today, we receive the final taster, the new single is called “I Wrote the Book.” (clip) That’s release number 4 off the upcoming album. I actually really liked that one song that went like . . . (clip) “All Kinds of People” with Jake Bugg – I really like that one a lot. It’s actually on my Wake Up playlist. Play a little more. (clip)
I’m excited for this one – coming in November – the 22nd to be exact. Josh Tillman aka Father John Misty is coming out with his 6th studio album called Mahashmashana. – yeah I had to practice that. (clip) Via a press release that I didn’t see, but Pitchfork did – Mahāśmaśāna (महामशान) is a Sanskrit word meaning “great cremation ground.” We’re learning something new every day. Let’s get to the new song (clip) Called “Screamland” and it’s actually not the first single released from the album. (shocking clip) 2nd Christmas reference – sorry – anyway, the actual 1st release was experienced on Father John Misty’s album: Greatish Hits: I Followed My Dreams and My Dreams Said to Crawl – the single was “I Guess Time Makes Fools of Us All” (clip)
That song is over 8 1/2 minutes long – that’s like 2 songs for the release of 1. Several quick hits of new music: Gwen Stefani (clip) she is due to release her fifth studio album this November on the 15th. But we did get the album’s first single – called “Somebody Else’s” – it’s a brutal breakup song. She’s obviously not too happy with the Bush guy (clip) but Gwen is all smiles now with her hubby, Blake Shelton // Neon Trees – a whole new album is out – 12 songs spread out over 40 minutes of new music all nicely packaged under the title: Sink Your Teeth – it’s their first album in 4 years – go and enjoy // and finally, a band that I’ve been following for awhile – The Talbott Brothers – have announced that their new album Borderlands will be out next year on Friday, May 2nd. That’s a little bit of distance. Thankfully, we got our first taste of that album already with the new song “Kerosene” (clip)

On this date, back in 1990, Eddie Vedder was selected as lead vocalist of what will become Pearl Jam after Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard and Mike McCready heard his demo tape where he added vocals to three instrumental tracks the band had recorded.

So, Taylor Swift did something recently that really created some attention
(Missed Music Monday opener)
At the US Open, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen singing and dancing along to a song from The Darkness.
(clip)
I didn’t really miss anything – I mean that song came out in September of 2003. But – it did just hit number one on the iTunes Rock Chart in America. “I Believe in a Thing Called Love.”
(clip)
The Darkness did have Permission To Land… Again 20th Anniversary come out last October. AND – there is a YouTube show called “Justin Hawkins Rides Again” – that’s the lead singer – very entertaining and informative on the musical scene. I’ll provide links!
