It's not quite hip-hop.
It's not quite rap.
It's not quite music.
It's not quite right.
But it IS fun!
And it's based on a real thing.
It's a video-only release (YouTube) not available on streaming platforms.
Join @unclefunkbeard's Indie Music Showcase this Monday to see it.
My #iwantmynas Thursday pick of the week is "Back To You" by J.H.M. (@JHMmusic_) and Eleanor Collides, a masterpiece of dreampop, with wonderful vocal harmonies built on jangly riffs.

Traffic was stopped for hours on a Washington DC street at rush hour. The bomb squad was called to investigate a suspicious device found on the road. It turned out to be a sex toy. This happened one block away from where I worked for 20 years. Coincidence? upi.com/Odd_News/2026/08/13/…

My #iwantmynas Thursday pick of the week is "New Gold Magic" by Econoline Crush (@CrushEconoline), a popular Canadian band out of Vancouver. This song is straight up hard rock with a strong 90s alt feel.

My #iwantmynas Thursday pick of the week is "Where Did She Go" by Teddy Head (@Teddy_Head999) a UK-based multi-instrumentalist. This is a fun burst of high-energy, guitar-driven 90s alt-rock with pop vocals.

My #iwantmynas Thursday pick of the week is "Please" by Viperstone (@ViperstoneBand), a classic rock band from Slovenia. This song is pure lean rock and roll, like taking a musical trip back to the early 70s.

I'd like to have a word with the maker of this sign.
And furthermore, Kirk became an admiral, so he shouldn't even be on this list!

My #iwantmynas Thursday pick of the week is "Covet (Acoustic Version)" by Agablis (@agablismusic), who just cranks out great tracks. It's dark gloomy Gothgaze, like Loreena McKinnett having a nightmare. Must listen!

Yesterday, #NewArtistSpotlight picked our track "Selling Farts In A Jar" as the NAS Song of the Day. The NAS community responded with hundreds of re-posts and hilarious comments. This could only happen in the world of indie music, where art and humor can still coexist. THANK YOU!
Woot! Who could ever have thought that the NAS Song of the Day would be a Zydeco jam about one of the most absurd marketing trends on the Internet? But here we are, wallowing in the preposterous. Thank you, @NAS_Spotlight, and to all who listen to our musical madness!

My #iwantmynas pick of the week is "A Sky of Hopes" by Chucky Trading (@ChuckyTrading), a rock/folk duo out of New York. This smooth, mellow instrumental sounds more like a country sunset than an NYC jam. @edeagle89 @NAS_Spotlight @MrOddzo #iwantmynas open.spotify.com/album/7uYDd…
Welsh indie shoegaze masters @Warm_Coat - one of my favorite modern indie artists. If you’ve never heard them, do yourself a favor and listen. Thank me later.

We asked if it makes sense for Captain Chemical to play a real wedding gig, and NOBODY answered "no, do the right thing." So we now must ask, which of our many smash hits should we serenade the happy couple with for their first dance? (Or, add your own choice in the comments.)
