It's been awhile, and nobody kept asking about it, so here's another all #vinyl mix featuring a Croatian synth-pop cover of "Mad World," a Krautrock rarity, a live cut from Frankie and the Witch Fingers, a #KGLW demo, and the result of a criminal investigation. www.mixcloud.com/Cagey_el_UU/...

Last night, Covington KY cops rioted and beat protestors against ICE. The footage is galling.
Covington, Kentucky police arrested journalist Madeline Fening, one of my best friends, yesterday for lawfully covering a peaceful protest against ICE's detention of a local children's hospital chaplain. They held her overnight and charged her with a felony.

Everyone in America needs to read this FREE—I’ve gifted it below—report from the conservative WALL STREET JOURNAL about Trump and Epstein.

Apparently the president has now threatened to sue the WSJ over this 100% accurate report due to how damaging it is.
Exclusive | Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump.
The leather-bound book was compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. The president says the letter ‘is a fake thing.’

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning.

This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I dunno, but maybe Democratic members of Congress shouldn't go the White House picnic tonight and pretend everything's fine and dandy, unless and until Sen. Padilla gets a phone call apologizing for what happened from Donald Trump?

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

“.. the mood is one of pervasive fatalism that the U.S. will not prove an honest broker. ‘It was a bad deal the first time around. They rolled over us and they would do it again,’ an EU diplomat said.”

#nowplaying #vinyl Sungazer, “Against the Fall of Night.” I’ve never been much of a jazzbo but I got turned onto this Brooklyn fusion duo by chance when I was pulling up a kglw song that also happens to be the title of their first album- “Perihelion.” this one came out last August and it’s amazing.
Let’s get some polygondwanaland going!

The harmonica/ guitar battle? Hello???? 😭😭
I hadn’t seen them do this before. Looked spontaneous too.
#nowplaying #vinyl “Summer ‘75.” I was born on the very last day of that summer. Hits recorded *not* by the original artists that I got at a flea market for $1 last weekend. Great nostalgia here: “Brandy” & “Wildfire” (always associated with Mom), & the whole concept of a re-recorded top 40 is 🤯.
