| je t'appelle (acid radio edit)  Armand Van Helden feat. Sahara  | 
Clubby electronica From my friend Arun's collection.  | 
|
| Bull Jine Run  Odetta  | 
A Black folkish/spiritual version of a kind of sea shanty?  Found after looking up their version of Battle Hymn of the Republic.  | 
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★  | Plastic Jesus  Kenny 3  | 
Funny countrified song. "I don't care if it rains or freezes /
Long as I got my plastic Jesus / Riding on the dashboard of my car." I remember this from my youth but it was recently mentioned on an episode of Baby Geniuses podcast.  | 
| ★ ★ ★ ★  | Happier Than Ever  Billie Eilish  | 
Dreamy mournful ukulele-ish piece. From her appearance on SNL.  | 
| Tools  AKA Me  | 
Female pop. I think some incidental music on "This American Life"  | 
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★  | Beautiful Machine  The Shrinks  | 
Funky little... not even sure of the genre, kinda rock, kinda indie, maybe a shade of punk. | 
| ★ ★ ★ ★  | Arrow  The Irrepressibles  | 
Such a beautiful gay anthem. You must watch this video... the gayest thing I've seen, in the loveliest sense of that word. | 
| Blue Monday  Orgy  | 
Classic club song (sigh Man Ray), guess it's not quite the original. The podcast 99% Invisible had a piece on how the floppy disk album cover for this single was super expensive.  | 
|
| Alligator Dance (Seneca)  Leslie Bowen, Avery Jimerson, Richard Johnny-John, Herbert Dowdy, Sr., Johnson Jimerson & Marty Jimerson  | 
Seneca music featuring Richard Johnny-John, who sang when my folks were ceremoniously adopted into Seneca clan families. | 
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★  | Words of Advice  Material  | 
In the spirit of "Everyone's Free (To Where Sunscreen)", sardonic advice with a beat. Something from "This American Life".  | 
| Spaceman  Harry Nilsson  | 
Kinda corny 60s rock. From end credits of the first season finale of "Space Force"  | 
|
| Zinda Rehti Hain Unki Mohabbatein (From "Mohabbatein")  Lata Mangeshkar  | 
Music that sounds like it's from Bollywood musicals, starts with percussion I dig. From this tweet about WFH  | 
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★  | Goldeneye 007 (Trap Remix) [Mission Status N64 Pause Screen]  Trap Remix Guys  | 
Cool cover of the old N64 video game pause music, with an appealing little skittery skritch of trap music. Sought out a version after this clip on a "watching people die inside" video... it's so much more of a lowkey banger than it needs to be!  | 
| Streets Favorite  Capone  | 
Mediocre hiphop sampling overwrought 60s song "(Remember) Walking in the Sand" background on one of these watching people die inside clips.  | 
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★  | Power of Yet  Janelle Monae / Sesame Street  | 
Funky little piece about the power of persistence... | 
Melissa and I brought the nieces to see the Dino Safari thing at Quincy Market (someone else's kids in the red photo but just there for scale)
