As expected, me, as a single mod, requires some help. I'll keep this post pinned and update it when needed. At the moment, what the community needs (except for more active users) is:

Another mod, even if there is not a lot of work to do, I'd still be happy if we can have redundancy.
Design for the community logo and banner.
A bot to update the sidebar - this is something I can do myself, only it will take me sometime to get there.

Connection: the lyrics reference "Kid Charlemagne":

And I'm mad at the sidewalk

I'm mad at the rain

I'm mad at the band that played Kid Charlemagne

In a bar in the village

And the solo fucked all to hell

And you could tell

Supertramp made me think of "Born to Run" with the line ""tramps like us, baby we were born to run." That line is referenced many times by many different artists, but my favorite reference is in this song, which turns the line into "tramps like us and we like tramps"

Connection: wayward. It's the obvious choice, but how often do you get a chance to link a Kansas song?

Adia Victoria - Magnolia Blues (youtu.be)

Connection: "Bad Things" and "Magnolia Blues" are both in one of my favorite niche subgenres, Southern Gothic. Classic blues instrumentation and vocals with dark, unsettling lyrics and chords.

I've got a whole playlist of anyone wants more suggestions in the occult folk/satanic blues/Southern Gothic vein.
