This is Rosie Mac who is replacing Addie as the lead singer in the indie hard rock band, Halocene. Quite a change, but I really like Rosie and am excited to see what her voice brings to this 20-year old musical project.
Rain Paris is TAKING OFF! Love that girl!

One of the best F211 covers of all time. “Mamma Mia” by ABBA.

Also it’s Caturday, and that means.
“Margot’s in the room”
Brooke Surgener’s cat, Margot, inspired the opening line of “In the Room’ from Brooke’s All In EP. So, perfect song to celebrate the first Caturday of August 2026!

I’m done with the MLB. So, I’m gonna watch the women’s league. BECAUSE CUTIE PIES!
YAS! Obviously I’m rooting for the Heights. OBVIOUSLY!
Our pitcher Kim is really good, too. The nerves were a bit rough in the first inning. Rules are slightly different, but this is a BETTER game than MLB. And this was the first game of the WPBL! Unfortunately, the Queens would win this one.
This is my dream come true. GO HEIGHTS! Although I love ALL THE GIRLS! <3 Natsuki Yonetani is my favorite so far, though!
DANAE HIT THE FIRST EVER WPBL HOMER! SWEET!
…
When this video released on July 10, 2026, “Where I Used to Be” became my FAVORITE SONG EVER! This should be a #1 hit on country radio. Brooke Surgener is the MOST UNDERRATED singer songwriter EVER!
I need to make this song go viral!

This is phenomenal. I could see this being turned into a song.

Anna Corinne giving cool auntie vibes. Love this silly goose!
…
She said she may not come to an answer about how to be more creatively free. I do have an answer.
“Anna, you did come to an answer about how to be more creatively free. You are living your answer right now. The process, the experience of discovery, the act of finding is much more important than what is actually found. I have never seen you happier since you returned from Amsterdam and this episode made me smile and rejoice in just how much you’ve blossomed over the past year as a podcaster, a person, and the world’s Rarest Goose <3”

I should share this where I can. Let’s all help Alli Kate and her mum move to LA, so Alli can pursue her music making dreams.
14 and this much talent!

Lonely road MV:

The 1958 Topps set is essentially complete already! After just a week. Although not all in hand just yet. CIA is handling it.
Now Stephen is considering digging up more cards to do more cool shit like this!
…
I’m familiar with Good Morning Bedlam from years ago being featured on Brooke’s song “Washington State” (which is actually about her now fiancée, BTW). But they have a new album this year and it’s really good.
Love this song, “Sideways”

AUDRA STOP BEING SO GORGEOUS GAHH! YOU SILLY SCHWARZEL <3
I actually commented on it! “Well, the last time I was a bride it was in the backyard by my favorite birch tree at the farm in Vermont :)”
I’ve never seen her so happy. It brings me so much joy.
…
This is the real Brooke Surgener. Her and Nate truly got it good.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dbvb2Dzo0t6/?igsh=MTdmZXJzc2ZvN3dsaA==
Also I love that cassette.
…
I really like Lacey Richcreek. She is quite brilliant and funny. Cerebral palsy sucks because I would date her. She’s just way too young for me. I told her that dating a guy WITHOUT a disability would actually be better, because then she would find someone who accepts her as the brilliant, beautiful person she is <3

A Sunday Fun Day edition of Anna Vlogs!
Anna’s vlogs are always a fun little romp around NYC, but this one has a bit more of a cozy chatty vibe to it in the second half, and I love it.

I DON’T REMEMBER THIS!
Damn good song! Alexa is CUTE! Not as cute as the blonde gorgeous singer though <3
Forgot Alexis was on this! I actually ran into Allie at Oliver’s <3 GAH!
…
This is a GOOD SONG! Got suggested to me by YouTube. “Chasing Shadows” by Crow feat. Lucyfer
…
Okay this probably should be in my top five…

Yes that is Brandi Carlisle covering Uninvited by Alanis Morrisette. I like this better than the original!
Cisco Kid opened for Brooke Surgener & the Bandits and Andre Costello at Funhouse at Mr. Smalls in Millvale PA on August 14th 2026. The song here is “Mother Man.” Addi is one hell of a singer! I bought a shirt afterward and I’m hoping to catch them at another venue in Pittsburgh or the general vicinity in the future!
Check out their instagram: instagram.com/ciscokidpgh

Last night proved that these sorts of artists need my help! Cisco Kid PGH has 14 subscribers and two are my channels! Ugh… Andre has 76… sigh.

Audrey Hobert is pretty good. Not surprising obviously. You can see the influence she had on Gracie. Her songwriting is really good. Only passable as a singer though and very plain. However we all know who should be there… meet me in Houston. Meet me halfway through my life.

The greatest Wild Geese episode EVER! Again… Anna keeps raising the bar!
Disappoint all the people! I think Anna is absolutely perfect! Just like Brooke!
…
OMG new music from Fionn? I’m stoked! Alanna and Brianne, you are two of the most talented musicians I’ve ever seen. 🙂
…
Another kickass cover from Alex Melton
And a concert of his I need to watch:
…
Well, “Hey There Delilah” covers are a litmus test for me. And Lucy Ellis passes with so many rainbows worth of colors, it’s not even funny. How is this girl still WORKING A REGULAR JOB?
This ORIGINAL song “Love and Weather” is INCREDIBLE!

Fantastic cover by this gorgeous blue-haired goddess, Annaliese of ICYM2 (also of Prairie Rose Revival):
Likin’ this from Kelly:
Taylor Acorn is really good and needs to be better known FR:
I REALLY love this line: “There ain’t much that can’t be fixed with just a smile”
Oh yeah I’m SO EXCITED to talk to Giovanna! <3
[You will hear from her August 30th, and I’m so pumped she gets to lead off the podcast!]

OMG the cutest cosplayer of Zelda EVER! Also, she’s um, Brooke Surgener!

Haven’t heard this Tracy Lawrence song in a minute. Glad he’s still alive, great performance on the song.
I did discover this cutie Paige Ann from Idaho
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZn5TPuS526/?igsi=bTI3MHdqMnRueGo4
She’s only 19! Powerful voice too. Checking back on her!

Wow, Chaislyn is something. Her vibrato is wow.
Great cover of stick season:
I really like this unreliable narrator song [an original]
She has a new song called dateline coming out.
