Daniel

The Sounds in My Head is a biweekly music show featuring songs and bands you might have missed. Hosted by Daniel since 2004.

Musically The Sounds in My Head attempts to be fairly eclectic, but probably tends to lean towards "indie pop" music. Also, I try to squeeze in as much left-wing propaganda as possible between tracks.

This episode features a clip from Sam Harris’s Making Sense podcast where he talks about Trump’s outrageous golf cheating. Something I’ve never paid any attention to, and found utterly unsurprising and kind of funny in that it’s among the least consequential of the literally thousands of terrible things about this most-offensive public figure.

It was too long to include the whole thing, but I really don’t disagree with any of his list. This kinda thing easily veers too far into trite, but there can be a lot of truth in well-composed bumper stickers, and I think Nate hits them all well.
