Some great music today starting with the aptly titled, “Dreamland,” by the incomparable Glass Animals. These guys sound like no one else, and I can’t wait for the new album.

I heard “Edge of Town” by Middle Kids on SiriusXMU and was blown away by it. That chorus! It indelibly sticks in your mind and will not leave, you just wait!

Come to think of it, this is a pretty catchy mixtape. Every song except for Phoebe Bridgers’ “Punisher” were all songs that I liked the first time I heard them, which is usually the result of something sticky in the sound. Let’s see if it works with you!

Enjoy the Monday, I hope you had a good fourth of July amidst what has been a year that’s been a very dark test of our democracy, and the strangest fourth of July’s in my lifetime. America will endure.
