Calling the Taskmaster New Year special a "Treat" is becoming more and more crushingly sardonic every year. Why is there always at least two people nobody has heard of, and one utterly morally bankrupt outright villain? Of all the infinite personalities to choose?

Happy BandCamp Friday to all who celebrate.
Just grabbed the second full-length, Friend World, from Do Nothing (absurdist post-punk that alternates between the wryly sardonic and the doubled-over in beauty or heartbreak; idiosyncratic vocals, stabbing guitar, killer rhythm section). Good band.

A few weeks ago, My #FridayMorningGroove was Linda Ronstadt singing Warren. Tonight, my #Zevonoween / #Halloween2026 trifecta starts with Linda singing backup on his sardonic "Excitable Boy"
