The wheel is turning folks
Shipped some neat @DeadsoundApp updates for iOS today. Beyond general tweaks, like a typography refresh and iOS 26/liquid glass stying, some of the more notable bits include
1. Enhanced setlists that show guests on specific tracks
Was pleasantly surprised to hear this Melanie song over the closing credits of "Digger." I've listened to this version with Miley a lot in the decade since it came out, and you should too.

To whom it may concern: The great Gillian Welch & David Rawlings recently hopped on KEXP to play a handful of Dead classics and promote their “Acoustic Reckoning” tour. Highly suggest. Here’s “Dire Wolf”.🔥

What I wouldn’t give to go back to October 1989 to attend the Hampton job fair — and also whatever Seafest was. And later, if there’s time, to see the Dead (billed here as the Warlocks).
My first idea—which I think's literally impossible—was to do a song mentioning another song.
So start with, say, Big Star "Thirteen" mentioning "Paint It Black," then "Paint it Black" mentions...nothing. I'd be surprised if anyone could go 3 songs deep. 4 would be impossible.
I've invented a game which may be impossible. Or at least very difficult.
Find a song that name-drops another artist. Then find a song by that artist that mentions a third artist. Etc.
You win if you get to ten.
I have made a hilariously obvious mistake. I guess I should've listened to the song again. I should be thrown in Pavement jail — if only I wouldn't like that so much! xitter.cf/j_m_barnes/status/2102…

You gotta listen to Picket Fence again. "Some bands I like to name check, one of them is R.E.M."
It's a shame that this sort of live music isn't financially viable anymore. This is exactly how a band should look and sound, especially a string section. And at 1:18, when Rowland's voice perfectly blends in with the fiddle? Dinner is served!
Arguably one of the ten best songs of the decade, but Lowell’s hat is astoundingly mystifying here. There’s like a belt in the middle?
