This new Jungle cut has been giving me life this wk. The Quiet Light track is the discovery of the week, and José González has never sounded better. Also, Tom gets me to love Tanya Tagaq, shares a Gabriel Kahane concept piece that’s like a David Lynch movie, and more. ❤️

GRAMMYs 2026 Performance | Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith & Andrew Watt - War Pigs YouTube video by Marcelo Magno Lopes

Lars and I got pretty snarky re the Grammys on this wk's show, but I have to say doing an in memoriam to "War Pigs" is a baller move. And it's a pretty crushing cover. Post Malone - not an obvious choice, but he nails it. (Maybe just swap out Watt w/St. Vincent) www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAgw...

Now dying to know what it was!
