Today’s Song is “Something Wrong with the Phalange” by The Pocket Gods.

This pandemic has been hitting a lot of us hard. Thankfully music has been a great outlet for getting out the frustrations and anxiety from social distancing.

This is exactly what has been helping Mark Christopher (MC) Lee, lead singer, and songwriter for the British group. Music has helped him deal with mental health pressures from being put on lockdown. So much so his latest album is a indie-pop escapism from these serious issues.

They are also talked about in the rockumentary Weird: The Life and Times of a Pocket God which is available on Amazon Prime and was nominated for a coveted Jean Luc Goddard award.

This track is a reference to the last episode of Friends entitled “The Last One.” The song is in reference to when Phoebe tells Rachel Phoebe saying there is a problem with the fictitious “left phalange” of the plane.

It’s a fun track with an upbeat opening that is reminiscent of one of Phoebe’s acoustic diddies. The gritty vocals talk of being sick of box sets and needing to get away. A lot of us can relate to this track. So it’s a fun and meaningful time.
