Gun Control Song of the Day – Ryan Adams “Halloween”
Last night on my way home from the Alex Cameron charm your face off experience I ducked into a cafe/bar that just started a new open mic night. Open mics are curious creatures, though uniformly named and conceptualized each is very different. Some are baby artist play pens, where one in ten songs might be […]
Gun Control Song of the Day – Eboueurs by Croque Madame
A lifetime of laissez faire living was insufficient preparation for the griefing wave. Folk lore would have you believe bad things only came in threes before a period of respite. But if that were true then the qualifications for bad were jacked up by 137% and that meant the new normal was an experience […]
Gun Control Song of the Day – Mitski “Townie”
The neck cramp used to be the distinct malady of the big reader or the overly ambitious and generous lover. Yet, almost instantly our spines curved downwards towards our phones. How shocking one found this when they finally noticed directly corresponds with the degree of neck ache. To the shoulder blades? “Oh, so this is […]
Gun Control Song of the Day – DUMB “Mustang Law”
There’s a phenomena in Canada, and probably any other cold place but the experiential science that informs the following only relate to Canada, in which the outside tries to kill you. Often this intent is obvious, windows scab over with a crystalline pattern that represents the end of entropy in death, doors refuse to open, […]
Gun Control Song of the Day – Ben Folds Five “Evaporated”
Don’t you know that I’m young and I can’t feel a thing at all and it’s all smiles and business until I’m indifferent to the loss. They’re not the exact words but they’re the ones that came to mind and as I run the chords again and again they’re the ones that feel just right. […]

Photo by Mark Payerl Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair is a track by track response to The Rolling Stones Exile on Main St. Phair has said she tried to treat each track as a response to Mick Jagger’s corresponding track. Phair elaborated with Rolling Stone in 2010: So “6’1″ ” equates to “Rocks Off.” […]
Gun Control Song of the Day – Sloan “People of the Sky”
While it wasn’t quite right, there was no more time to mess with the skinny red tie. The last song had been written, recorded, and released 17 years prior. The last commercially relevant song had come out 14 years prior to that, as supply far outweighed demand, and no marketing could overcome the iron grip […]
Gun Control Song of the Day – Molly Shannon, Molly Shannon “Jonestown Mascara”
Ugh I’ve been sick with the common cold for over a week. The neocitron haze is now descending, but alas I will not be standing by to give you the play by play where the sweats kick in, and my cold and flu drugged brain rationalizes the perfect geometry I must achieve between my head […]
Gun Control Song of the Day – Moonface and Sinai “Risto’s Riff”
Off the back of the boat was an incredible wake. A swath of turbulent white, bringing the endless blue to a boiling rage that any had dared pass through it. White knuckled atop a nylon skinned inner-tube dragged behind 45 horses of suburban lakeside mid-life crises he once learned that there wasn’t much difference between […]
Gun Control Song of the Day – Sjowgren “seventeen”
My feet are cold and my head aches in that slight way where if I focused hard enough I could convince myself I could feel my eyes. The edge is sharpened as the music reminds me of a summertime I’m not entirely sure I ever actually experienced, but that’s likely got more to do with […]
