This song and its themes become more personal to me every year. Nine one one. A tragedy and a lifeline. Thoughts and prayers with family and friends in Florida. Written and performed by sintax.the.terrific. Music produced by dj clutch.

Matthew and Me
I’ve needed some encouragement lately and it’s come in the unlikely form of certain Twitter interaction, namely with @walterthsalter. I landed in Boston two Sundays ago feeling pretty low and found this mashup in my Dropbox. Me x Matisyahu. I had literally just revisited Spark Seeker with my kids the week before, after a couple […]
Bison on Ice
Yeah, I have a song for every occasion. Even North Dakota State football upsets. But guess what? NDSU isn’t a small upstart and its win yesterday against Iowa wasn’t an historic upset. And it’s not just because, in talent, as has been observed, they can line it up with the “big boys.” They are the […]
Congressional Cuts
Yeah, I got one. Nothing says rap news like getting a fade in the basement of the Rayburn House Office Building. That’s hip hop.
Convict Tree
My office tree. Steroids? Check. Dog fighting? Check. Bountygate? Check. Child abuse? Of course. Nothing says God’s grace at Christmas like sports’ scandal. Performed by theipoetlaureate. Music produced by djclutch. Today’s blong here: [wpaudio url=”http://www.ipoetblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/tree-trim.mp3″ dl=”0″ text=”Tree Trim“]
Will You?
As always, this is dedicated to all the men who have some difficulty planning Valentine’s Day. Wait, that’s redundant. To all the men. Happy Valentine’s Day to my beautiful and gracious wife. Performed by ipoetlaureate. Music produced by juiceboxjackson. Today’s blong here: [wpaudio url=”https://thefreshjunket.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ff3d0-be-mine.mp3″ dl=”0″ text=”Be Mine“]

So apparently you enrich Uranium by centrifuging the atomic material until it separates into two distinct isotopes. The fission of one of those isotopes is particularly effective in creating heat/energy. And at a certain enrichment level, bombs. Poetically, the nuclear deal with Iran, itself, is a little like a centrifuge. Or maybe that Gravitron ride […]
White Flag
Sometimes you just can’t improve on the Onion. They do North Korea better than anyone. If you haven’t heard, North Korea claims to have conducted three nuclear weapons tests this last week. Some of my thoughts on the ambitions of an armorized North Korea, previously, here and a retread of the blong below. Performed by […]
For Life
Jerry Sandusky was sentenced today. I’ve done a handful of Penn State related posts and songs over the last 18 months about it all. Mercifully, this might be the last. Our sentencing structure is so weird. He received a minimum of 30 years without possibility of parole with a maximum of 60 years. At his […]
Vin Diesel
Update and possible disciplinary action in the muffed Fast and Furious gun trafficking operation. My original thoughts here. New song tonight. Performed by theipoetlaureate. Music produced by Jordan Santana. Today’s song blog here: [wpaudio url=”https://thefreshjunket.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/fcd7d-gunwalk.mp3″ dl=”0″ text=”Gunwalk“]
