I don’t know if this is the best song ever, but it’s damn sure the best song right now.
“Well I think I should have stayed in Tulsa East Texas ain’t for me They’ll lock you up for smoking grass And throw away the key Don Williams knew what he was talkin’ bout When he was singin’ Tulsa Time Oh but Kenny’s Tulsa Turnaround Is what’s runnin’ round my mind When he said oh, Lord I wish I had never been stoned”
49 Winchester, one of the best bands around, and they’re even better live.
More great music at Rancho Radio (on Apple Music).
* My favorite AI tool at the moment is Kittl. Really solid platform for making signs, posters, album covers, web graphics and whatnot. The interface is not super-intuitive, but one you get into the flow you can make some really cool stuff.
** Honestly, if Apple releases a HomePod with a screen bolted-on like that butt-ugly mockup (and the similar device from Amazon), I’ll sell all my Apple stock because the golden era will be over.
*** That’s great. I generally dig my F150, but the inability to permanently disable that annoying auto start-stop is a deal stopper for me. No more Fords until that changes.
The Caution Children (TX)’s debut EP, At Play, is now available at Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, and most major streaming services. Three new(ish) songs and one older one.
* Siri is awful, currently. Alexa is somewhat less awful, but Amazon wants to control the screen. I want this: ChatGPT functionality on a device where I (and I alone) get to determine what appears on the screen. I’ll pay for that.
** This is huge, for those of us who are automation obsessive. Bonus hint: if you use eero routers and get the “Connect to HomeKit router error” when adding accessories, delete the eero router(s) from HomeKit in the Home app, and problem solved. That’s 5+ hours of painful research condensed into a sentence.
*** I’m already hesitant to refer to myself as a Christian because of nonsense like this. God is wonderful. He/she/they/it has been good to me. But religion, which seeks to put itself between you and God, is not particularly wonderful these days. When another person takes it upon himself (because, let’s be honest, it’s always a dude) to tell you what God wants you to do, be very skeptical.
What we’ve noticed in recent new releases. If you have a new record you think we’d like, let us know.
Marble Teeth, from Decatur, in Illinois. This is exactly the kind of music we used to get more of, and desperately need more of. Reminds me of some of the amazing alt. country music I discovered via MP3.com back in the halcyon days of alt. country.
