Day 18: A song from the 2000s
Lower east side

A little change in pace from ultra extreme hardcore to Gypsy punk.

At the Jesse Malin Beacon Theater benefit, it was great to see singer, Eugene Hütz do an acoustic version of victim in pain with Jimmy G from Murphy’s Law.

Day 19: A song from the 10s

Seeing Jesse Malin last weekend was the inspiration for the Lower East Side personal theme for decades week. He’s been there for a long time, first in his hardcore band, Heart Attack, the with D-Generation and then solo… becoming a great singer songwriter. And a denizen of the lower east side and owner of several great music venues.

Jesse Malin - Room 13 (2019)

Signed his last record for my wife…

Day 20: A song from the 2020s (RED)

Dug a hole in the garden and buried a scream
And from it grew a bright red tree
Shining with jagged leaves
And when the wind blows you can hear it

You Can Have It All - Florence & The Machine (2025)

Day 20- a song from the 20s

Lower East Side

These newer bands, still bring it without the hipster horseshit from across the east river that’s brought to you by Mastercard or American Express or something.

BODEGA is an excellent post punk band w/o the pretense that makes me smile, although this tune is kinda poppy and jangly.

BODEGA - Tarkovski (2024)

Sorry folks, life gets in the way sometimes. Hopefully in the future when I do something like this, I'll do better on the leader board.

Day 21 - A song you listen to at work when you want to escape for a bit.

Weezer - Island in the Sun

This song always puts me in a better mood.

Day 20: a song from the '20s
I'll admit to some Google help finding this one.. the turtle dove, composed by Ralph Vaughn Williams in 1924.. but it's beautiful so I'm glad to have found it.
3 points- turtle, dove, tree
Which brings me to, I think, 15 points!

Absolutely adored this challenge, thank you!

Day 21 - A song you listen to at work when you want to escape for a bit.
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
I.. may have put up the 'back in 5 minutes sign' the last time this song played on Sirius.. just so I could sing along. Seriously though. . If you don't sing into whatever you have in hand when you hear, 'MAMA OOH OOHOOOWOOOO'.. we can't be friends

Random thought: How spoon isn’t the hugest band, I’ll never know. New LP is on the way I’ve heard!

Spoon - Don’t Let It Get You Down

Don't know why, but I disconnect when this one is one
