    It’s all happening. It’s #JukeboxFridayNight with the theme of #AWiderWorld and it’s also #BandcampFriday. Wowza! So here’s DNE. It’s (another) song about the destruction of all human life on earth. The last word of the song explains the whole thing and will just about make sense if you like the Hitchhikers Guide…which we do. (Aliens like all of Douglas Adams’ work.) If you like the song, you can buy it and/or boost this post. #RockMusic #HeavyMetal https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/...

    On this #JukeboxFridayNight the theme is #Dirty. Kiss Me is a song about the genital mutilation of children. In some cultures the act was carried out by a holy man who used his teeth. Sounds dirty to us. (The song rocks though). “Kiss me with a mouthful of razors.” may make more sense as an opening line now. https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/kiss-me

    For this #JukeboxFridayNight the theme is #PersonalPlaylist. That means songs with personal significance. Life is a song about meeting my birth mother for the first time time, 55 years after she gave me life. Life was all she gave me, but of course that’s everything. https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/life

    It’s #JukeboxFridayNight and the theme is #History. You’re the virus, we’re the cure is about the whole history of life on earth, from the perspective of the aliens that seeded it in the first place. “You fucked it up Better luck next time” https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/youre-the-virus-were-the-cure-2

    For #JukeboxFridayNight the theme is #BeLikeDolly for obvious reasons. Here’s Fallen Angel. It’s an uncharacteristically positive and emotional one from us, with a sweet melody and classic chord progressions. Really no aliens, viruses, mass shooters or swearing at all. What were we thinking?!? https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/fallen-angel

    Right now our most replayed song on Bandcamp is Kiss Me (It’s not a romantic song). Our favourite line in this one is:- Light me up and pass me the gas. As far as we know it’s the only rock song about the genital mutilation of kids. It rocks too. https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/kiss-me

    It’s #MusicWomenWednesday and here’s Cold Dead Hands. Your kill, your trophy. You know what? It doesn’t thrill me. https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/cold-dead-hands-3

    In the absence of a relevant hashtag today, we thought we’d create our own, so here’s the first ever #ThursdayThumpers. Kiss Me is our most played song on Bandcamp in recent weeks. The title sounds romantic, but the first line is “Kiss me, with a mouth full of razors.” It’s not romantic. It’s part of a very small group of rock songs (possibly the only one) about the genital mutilation of kids. It’s also a thumping good rock song though. https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/kiss-me

    For #MusicWomenWednesday this week we humbly submit The Sound Of My Soul. It’s an uncharacteristically optimistic and loving track about being (re)united with a birth parent. We’ll be back to destroying planets and insulating Trumps after this brief outburst of positivity. 👽👽👽👽 https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/the-sound-of-my-soul

    Here’s the second in our utterly uncalled for #ThursdayThumpers series. Killing Time represents the eager anticipation of Aliens about to feast on human flesh. Nom, nom, nom. 👽👽👽👽 🍔🌭🌮🥙 https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/killing-time

    We’re a tiny bit late for #AlternateFridayMusic, but we’re aliens, so we’re not constrained by puny human concepts like time and space. The theme is #BreakUp, so here’s Orchard Towers. I thought that I was your addiction, It was never love. I was only friction. 👽👽👽👽 https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/orchard-towers

    It’s #JukeboxFridayNight and the theme is #Waiting, so we’re going to share two tracks that are about the same wait. Life and Sound Of My Soul are both about reuniting an adoptee with their birth mother after a wait of more than 50 years, but they come at the experience from different angles. https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/life https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/the-sound-of-my-soul

    It’s #JukeboxFridayNight once more and this week the theme is #HotOrCold, so here’s Cold Dead Hands. Of course, the title comes from the famous Charlton Heston speech to the NRA. “I’ll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands”, said Charlton. “OK then” said the Aliens. 👽 👽👽 https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/cold-dead-hands-3

    This #JukeboxFridayNight the theme is #CloseToOurHearts, so here’s Life. Reuniting with a birth mother after nearly 60 years apart. https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/life

    It’s #TuneTuesday and the theme is #BreakfastSongs. We’re going with Killing Time. It’s a song about aliens using puny humans for food. Sort of… Could be breakfast, right? https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/killing-time

    It’s time for another #JukeboxFridayNight, but it’s not actually #BandcampFriday even though it should be. The theme this Friday is #PowerPlay, so we’ve gone back to the vaults to share You’re The Virus, We’re The Cure. It’s a song about the aliens that seeded life on earth. They’re coming back to wipe out all human life, because the experiment has gone so badly. “We seeded life in primordial slime, You fucked it up, Better luck next time.” https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/youre-the-...

    It’s #TuneTuesday and this week the theme is #TravelSongs. Dark Passenger is a song about a lone astronaut on the brink of insanity on an interstellar flight. Is that a travel song? You be the judge… https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/dark-passenger

    This #JukeboxFridayNight the theme is #Stereotypes, so here’s Cold Dead Hands. The stereotypical puny human that hunts for sport is an asshole. “I want a trophy, it’s you skinned in the floor” https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/cold-dead-hands-3

    It’s #JukeboxFridayNight once more. This week it’s #MusicMusiciansAndMashups That’s a bit of a mouthful! Here’s Cold Dead Hands. This version is a stripped back, soulful arrangement of the song. It’s very different to our usual, aggressive rock, but the vitriol is still there in the lyrics. “I want a trophy, it’s you skinned on the floor.” - The song takes a dim view of puny humans who hunt for sport to inflate their fragile egos, especially if they are Trumps! https://alienanomaly.bandc...

    It’s #MusicWomenWednesday and here’s Dumbfuckistan, because only a woman can deliver the line “your country’s on the rocks, cos your president’s a cock.” It gets more relevant by the day! 👽👽👽👽 https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/dumbfuckistan

    It’s #MusicWomenWednesday so here’s Extraordinary. It’s from the album Heaven Sent, which tells a number of tales about a woman’s journeys of liberation. This particular one is a journey of liberation from religion. It even ends with a quotation from Carl Sagan. Aliens like Carl Sagan. 👽👽👽👽 https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/extraordinary

    It’s #TuneTuesday. It’s #SmokeAndSmokingSongs, so here’s Inside Out. Inside Out is a song about the curious attraction of death by addiction. “You say you love me like a gun to my head.” https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/inside-out

    It’s #JukeboxFridayNight and this week the theme is #PunkRock, which is a pretty sweet spot for us. So here’s Up To No Good. Remarkably it’s about people who follow politicians who they know (deep down) are driving society over a cliff. It’s like we’re prescient or something! https://alienanomaly.bandcamp.com/track/up-to-no-good

    Would people be more cautious online if we changed the terminology from web browser to personal data raper?
