Description

The Sounds in My Head is a biweekly music show featuring songs and bands you might have missed. Hosted by Daniel since 2004.

Musically The Sounds in My Head attempts to be fairly eclectic, but probably tends to lean towards "indie pop" music. Also, I try to squeeze in as much left-wing propaganda as possible between tracks.

Season 21 Episode 16 Exercise Class - Rodney Cromwell Havana Bay - Magon Our Love is Real - Magon Hard Erase - Worn-Tin Joe & Ruth - Worn-Tin Pendulum - Sports Coach Infinity - Sports Coach Dead Stars in your Eyes - The Reds, Pinks & Purples Public Art - The Reds, Pinks & Purples I-90 Bridge - Chastity Belt Clock Keeps Ticking -Bonny Doon This episode features a couple of clips from a really fun episode of Tyler Cowan’s podcast Conversations with Tyler. The guest is a favorite of mine, Paul Bloom, a psychologist who specializes in moral psychology, particularly in children. I pulled clips of them discussing at what age a child can truly believe in God, and another where they discuss the relative value of dogs, cats, pigs, and humans. The whole hour is great.

Later he describes why it’s harder for MAGA to break free from their idiocy than for leftists to do the same.

There She Goes - Hazel English Fast Lane - Genevva Crazy Horse - Genevva Instinct That I Wanna Know - Jade Imagine Back and Forth - Jade Imagine Principia - En Attendant Ana The Cut Off - En Attendant Ana The Drinking Song - Nellie Mckay Make a Wish - Nellie Mckay Le Temple Volant - Crumb & Melody's Echo Chamber Apathy - White Poppy Happy - White Poppy Til We Run Out of Air - Hatchie This episode features a clip of Julia Steinberg's testimony in front of Congress on November 9, where she talks about the rise of antisemitism on college campuses and its modern roots in the conflict theory of the oppressor vs. oppressed.
Season 20 Episode 10 Life Waits for Nothing - Phantom Youth Don't Fade Away - Beach Fossils Tough Love - Beach Fossils I Wish - Dayaway A Brief Dream of Sun - Dayaway Milanesa al Pan - Juan Wauters feat.

Jones on TikTok. It was too long to include the whole thing, but I really don’t disagree with any of his list. This kinda thing easily veers too far into trite, but there can be a lot of truth in well-composed bumper stickers, and I think Nate hits them all well.
Season 20 Episode 9 Good Friday - Ham Sandwich Newfound Oxygen - Steady Holiday The Balance - Steady Holiday Coma Culture - Coma Culture Bad Habits - Coma Culture Virtual Dancer - Group Rhoda Din För Evigt - Kanot Bottenmannen - Kanot Dee Dee - Nimrawd Quicksilver (single version) - Nimrawd Aquamarine - Hand Habits This episode features a clip of a CNN Town Hall where former NJ governor and Trump lackey Chris Christie recounts how Trump gave him COVID, which very nearly killed him, then lied about it, naturally.

Riyo - Dur-Dur Band Int. Love Missive - Courrier Sud Fool Moon - Courrier Sud Trapdoor - Los Bitchos This episode features a clip from a recent episode of Sam Harris’ podcast Making Sense, where he talks about the incomprehensible waste of collective attention the human race has wasted on about the least important human to ever be born. I didn’t include much of it, when he gets into a media analysis and so on, but I’m 100% with him on all of it.

It may be a joke, but I think the plan could be just crazy enough to work. Mental note: From now on, always refer to Planned Parenthood and their ilk as angel factories.
SEASON 19 FINALE! Be True - RL Cherry Blossom - Rubblebucket Earth Worship - Rubblebucket Empty Head - Frankie Cosmos Aftershook - Frankie Cosmos Strangers - Dana Gavanski Sacatela - La Femme No pasa nada - La Femme Dyslexic Poetry - Petite League Pantone Karaoke - Petite League Belinda Says - Alvvays Very Online Guy - Alvvays San Francisco - Bonny Doon This episode features a clip from the podcast The War On Cars where guest, prominent sex columnist Dan Savage, talks about how terrible cars are, and how livable streets activists can win people over to our side. It was a fun interview, and while I’ve always enjoyed his media appearances, but prior to this interview I never knew he was a kindred spirit with regard to this topic.
SPECIAL "CHRISTMAS MUSIC 2022" EPISODE!

MY APOLOGIES if this episode is triggering for any listeners.

The Star Feminine Band Saturdays - Broken Bells We're Not In Orbit Yet… - Broken Bells Smash the Machine - The Babe Rainbow Mediterranean - The Babe Rainbow Fast Cars - Danz CM Love Is Perfect Kindness - Busman's Holiday Hey Margarita - Busman's Holiday Charlie - Sam Valdez Your Party - Crush EP Disintegration - The Vacant Lots Red Desert - The Vacant Lots It Won't Be Cinematic - Sleep Party People This episode features a clip from a terrific interview with Yuval Noah Harari on by Sean Illing on his Vox podcast The Grey Area. After Ezra Klein went to the NYT Vox slowly auditioned other people to fill the gap, renaming The Ezra Klein Show first to The Conversation with different hosts, of which Sean was by far and away the best, and they eventually gave him the feed and renamed it The Grey Area. I just never unsubscribed. Ezra is awesome, but I like the NYT incarnation of his show less than the old version, and I think The Grey Area is usually more interesting than EKS these days.
Stars Are Blind (Follow Me) - Chris Laufman & Wise Blood Sunshine Time - Coast Modern Electric Fence - Ruby Bedtime - Ruby Steal My Sunshine - The Goon Sax Sintaluta - The Garrys Bury Me With My Money - The Garrys Change - Kelley Stoltz My Wildest Dream - Kelley Stoltz Did You Give the World Some Love Today, Babe? - The PJ's This episode features an extended series of clips stitched together from a recent episode of Sam Harris’ Making Sense podcast where Sam talks to subject matter expert Timothy Snyder about Russia’s war on Ukraine and he systematically knocks down bad take after bad take from the "do your own research" wing of the Twitterverse.
Hot Tub Time Machine - Freedom Fry Real Love - Down Time Just Because - Down Time Destiny - Jonathan Bree & Princess Chelsea You Are the Man - Jonathan Bree Love Is More - Princess Chelsea Forever Is a Charm - Princess Chelsea Part Time Punk - Cool Sounds Like That - Cool Sounds Goatmilk - GOAT Blow the Horns - GOAT Chow - Sun Era This episode features a clip from Coleman Hughes’ podcast Conversations with Coleman where music critic and historian Ted Gioia talks about where musical innovation comes from and the pattern of things from the fringe becoming mainstream.
It's Probably Me - ViVii Ivory Coast - Pure Bathing Culture Nightswimming - Pure Bathing Culture After All - Jeanines Luminous - Seoul Magic Club Love all the Population - Gently Tender Home Anymore - Gently Tender Chain - Workhorse No Photographs - Workhorse County Lines - Whitney Terminal - Whitney Jesus was a Cross Maker - Cass Elliot This episode features a clip from Channel 4 News' report on the truck bombing of Russia’s bridge connecting illegally annexed Crimea in Ukraine to the Russian mainland. The latest in a long series of colossal embarrassments for Putin. 
Not a Go - Foamboy Better - Foamboy Peach Smoothie - Foamboy Garth - Husbands Must Be a Cop - Husbands Night Nurse - Dean & Britta Easy Does It - Marlon Williams My Boy - Marlon Williams Up the Junction - Squeeze The Dance - Air Waves Black Metal - Air Waves feat. Frankie Cosmos and Merce Lemon Mind on Fire - The Mary Onettes This episode features a clip from The Michael Shermer Show where Michael talks to British satirist and commentator Andrew Doyle about the adoption by progressives of trans activist’s world-view, and how folly and unprogressive he predicts history will judge that to be. Call me a “TERF”, but I tend to agree, and I hope saying so doesn’t mean I lose a bunch of friends. Also, I’m personally more concerned with the elimination of sex-separated spaces for women and girls, as well as social contagion among teenage girls leading to irreversible medical interventions for them, than I am about gay boys, but ya know, yeah them too.
