I see that @shropshirelad.bsky.social and I had the same idea for today’s emoji, a psychoactive toadstool irl 😏
I’m going with the Breakfast at Woodstock version b/c it kicks ass!

Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit (live) youtu.be/Vl89g2SwMh4?...
It’s sports festival day for teen’s junior high. Her team could use all the magic today’s emoji can garner!

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Spellbound youtu.be/TjvvK-Rj0WI?...
From the Bay Area’s funk metal groovemasters … sinuous, driving bass line, swirling guitar, and a lament for poached pachyderms fading into extinction.
Aside: these guys are great live!

The Reverend Horton Heat - I Can’t Surf youtu.be/Az0lwtU0UN8?...
This song was on regular rotation on WIBG, one of the radio stations my parents had programmed on the car radio when I was a wee lad. Nostalgia runs deep whenever I hear it.

OC Smith - Little Green Apples youtu.be/v68dkNSKu0s?...
Insomnia and anxiety are the themes for today’s selection. Thankfully, I don’t suffer the former because I know it would only increase the latter.
BONUS: a great live version from ‘24.

Green Day - Brain Stew (live) youtu.be/jHIvy9eXICM?...
While in an Italian prison, Chet composed this song for his son. Recorded in Rome after his release, with the great Ennio Morricone handling orchestration and Alessandro Maffei, the lyrics.

Chet Baker - Chetty’s Lullaby youtu.be/ZqSFancGIuc?...
Today’s song has been covered by many vocal greats, including Ethel Waters, Lena Horn, and Frank Sinatra. But I’ve always been partial to this rendition.
