I'M WE'RE JUST SAYIN': "Peaceful Protests with a Carnival Atmosphere"

"Peaceful Protests with a Carnival Atmosphere"

Thousands of opposition supporters are surrounding the Ukrainian government offices in a second night of protests over the presidential election...Tens of thousands more people are rallying in Kiev's Independence Square to protest against the official victory for Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych. Opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, who says the vote was rigged against him, has appealed for police support.

On Tuesday, a White House spokeswoman called for Ukrainian authorities not to certify the election until the fraud allegations are investigated.

So when is the Ukranian Prime Minister's office going to call for U.S. authorities not to certify our election? Here's the White House's phone number: 202-456-1414. Operators are standing by, waiting for hell to freeze over.

Heavy Rotation (Shuffle Mode Suggested)

This is the Weisnick Family's everyday playlist. It changes (somewhat) on a weekly basis as new albums are released (or when my mood shifts). It is fairly eclectic and is reminsiscent of a time when radio was unsegregated.

The first 47 songs on this playlist were originally assembled by musician Ryuichi Sakamoto for his favorite Japanese restaurant in New York City. He loved the food but he hated the music so he created a playlist that complemented the dining experience rather than distracted from it. The rest of the playlist was created by a Spotify algorithm that picks songs similar to what has been previously played when a playlist runs out of tracks. Beyond dinner, this playlist is highly recommended for chilling, relaxing, and releasing cobwebs from your brain. (More Information)

The "best" new music of 2019, updated every Friday.

#Ones That Never Were: Pretty much what the title implies, if you had my taste in so-called "pop" music. Kind of a Desert Island Playlist, for the Weisnicks.

Music for driving through the fog on Mulholland Drive or smoking a cigarette in the rain outside a jazz club in NYC.

Cover Tunes. Lots of Cover Tunes.

Just in case you forget to breathe. A perfect antidote for the daily news cycle.

The complete Beastie Boys masterpiece and most of the songs they sampled.

Some of the best music of the last decade was created or fronted by women. It's true. Have a listen...

Late '70s, Early '80s goodness.

May We Suggest a Decanter of Manhattan, Martini, or Daiquiri?

All things Eno-related (his bands, his solo recordings, his collaborations, his productions, his Enosification). Pretty much the history of modern music.

Currently the best soundtrack composer in the business (IMHO)
