Song of the Moment CXXII: The New Regime’s “Tap Dancing in a Minefield”

Last June 10, 2026, during a Foo Fighters show on the Take Cover Tour, my favorite band of all time started introducing each member (well, other than the mighty Dave Grohl) by performing songs from their bands and side projects.

Listen VII: Foo Fighters’ “Child Actor”

46. That’s how many times the line, “Turn the cameras off”, appeared in “Child Actor”, the third-to-the-last track of the twelfth and newest Foo Fighters studio album, Your Favorite Toy.

Song of the Moment CXVIII: Foo Fighters’ “Of All People”

The lyric video for Foo Fighters’ “Of All People.”

Last Friday, April 14, my favorite band in the world, Foo Fighters, released a new single from their upcoming twelfth studio album, Your Favorite Toy, and it’s titled “Of All People.” As per tradition (mine anyway), I listened to the new song more than once, and I loved the fast, aggressive punk sound that reminded me of a shorter version of “White Limo” (a loud gem from one of my favorite Foos albums, Wasting Light). But after the fifth listen, I had to hit pause because my lyric interpretation almost blew a fuse in me, and not in a good way.
