Reverb Raccoon’s Favorite Songs of 2018
Today in history marks 294 days since the inception of our Song of the Day feature. During that span, we made 162 posts, each featuring a song by an excellent, under-recognized musician. Our original intent was to compose a few well-written paragraphs each day about a...
ROOKIE – I Can’t Have You But I Want You
The chasm between what we have and what we want has loomed large in the human experience since that eons-ago moment when Thag Jones gazed from the mouth of his cave at the distant woolly mammoth and measured his desire to transform the creature into a rump roast of...
Low Horizon – Keep
I've told this story before and I'm sure I'll tell it again. And when I'm an old man and can't remember what I said two minutes ago I'll probably tell it again and again and again until someone says "Wheel Uncle Raccoon off the front porch" and some anonymous young...
Lil Opioid Crisis – Polar Expre$$ II
A couple sits on either side of a small table at what appears to be a sidewalk café in southern Italy. I have no idea why these things are always set in southern Italy, but they are. We haven’t cast our actors yet, but I’m pretty sure the woman will be played by...
theCatherines – The more we kept moving the farther away we got from us
Since the hour Thag Jones sought solace in the cave of that cute Neanderthal from across the valley, and honored their union by painting a picture of himself slaying a bison on the rocky wall of their abode, humanity has endeavored to categorize romantic...
Afterschool Rerun – Waiting For You
Stephen Hawking theorized that, when the universe reaches the furthest extent of its Big Bang powered expansion and begins to contract back upon itself to eventually implode in a massive hole of blackness, the movie of each person's life will run in reverse, each of...
Steven Lipsticks and His Magic Band – The Nest
In "The Nest," Steven Lipsticks explores those metaphysical Van der Waals forces that bind us to whomever, whatever, or wherever we are bound. Your nest may be your job, your town, your addiction, your guitar, or the tent in the room upstairs in your mother's house on...
Atomic Cafe – Juniper (feat. Anamaya Shore)
Hi, it's me again. Fluffy the Cat. The Food Guy has a scheduling conflict today. He was supposed to write the log post this morning, but he was also booked to shovel compost in the back yard. So he said he would shovel the dirt and I could write the log post. I told...

LittleBoyBigHeadOnBike – BBB
Hi. This is Fluffy. The cat. The Food Guy is busy shoveling mulch out of the compost pile to put in a flower bed, so I am going to help him by writing his log post. A lot of the compost came from my litter box, so I guess I've contributed to that project. When I've...

Guest Post by Matthew Barton – Hide
You're lucky you don't feel you have to hide. I wrote those words in a song called 'Hide' a few years ago. I don't know exactly who I was singing them to, but the sentiment was clear to me: there are just some things that we feel we have to keep hidden. What we think,...
Cowboy Grizzly – Like a Child
Off we skip like the most heartless things in the world, which is what children are, but so attractive; and we have an entirely selfish time, and then when we have need of special attention we nobly return for it, confident that we shall be rewarded instead of...
