2026, a poem – by Coalition of the Illin’

Coalition of the Illin’ have elaborated and expanded their position with 2026, a poem. Engaging the subtleties and themes which many of us encounter as we navigate the peculiar challenges in the halfway point through this consequential and confounding year, the Coalition’s latest testimony builds on the musical and lyrical promise of their first. We hope you enjoy and oh, this one includes naughty words, alert the PMRC, or Frank Zappa, or mom and dad. Cheers and regards from your pals at BCR.

 

The McMansion On The Hill by Eric Din is Foisted!

Berkeley Cat Records is having spasms of unspeakable joy over the release of The McMansion On The Hill by Eric Din. McDin? Sure, fine, McDinwiddie, McSka, McFunFun. It’s about three minutes of Ska-rockin’ bass-line driven hullabaloo about the demise of everything. Just the sort of thing we’ve come to expect from Mr. McDinsky in these utopian times of everything is great. Y’all enjoy! Oh and there are rumours of a possible custom art panel coming from a certain cartoonist on this matter, rather soon, we think. Meanwhile we used our handy BCR insta-single template, courtesy of McWheeler and McJackson. McCheers! <3

Eric Din – In Another Life – out now on Berkeley Cat Records

Berkeley Cat Records is delighted to foist, the latest power-pop blast of new wave audio bliss from Eric Din. Composed and produced just last week, mastered and released mere hours ago, this is as we like to say, hot off the kittydesk. In the songwriter’s own words, “I think we all wonder sometimes, how our lives might be if we had made other choices, or if random events intervened. I love my life right now, I do. But I wonder. I do wonder!” Lyrics and credits below, out now on Bandcamp, streaming release to follow on July the 4th.

In Another Life

Once upon a time in another life
I called that number on my hand
Words came easy smooth and right
Just good luck on another night

In another life
A fairytale romance at first sight
(In another life)
We got a cheap rental on the west side
(In another life)
Raised two kids saw ’em off to college
(In another life)
They come home twice a year it’s nice

A chance encounter in another life
Around the block I took a left instead of right
So simple randomly to find the one
Happily ever after, this could be fun

In another life
We bought a nice house with the money we saved
(In another life)
Vacation on a sunny isle
(In another life)
Five grandchildren yeah they hit the big time

In another life
I remember birthdays and such dates
(Anniversaries)
Never forget faces to names
(In another life)
Listen well and always kind
(In another life)
Better angels nationwide

I called that number that was on my hand
Before it washed off in the morning shower
In another life I used indelible ink
Instead of that cheap ball point
My kingdom for a pen that writes

In another life
In another life
In another life
In another life

Coalition of the Illin’ releases debut track, Everything Is Stupid And Then We Die

Berkeley Cat Records is dumbfounded to announce the world debut single from Coalition of the Illin’

Working in secret, the Coalition took control of Eric Din’s faculties, producing this before we could intervene. Several neighbors of Berkeley Cat International MegaCorporate Hindquarters have sued for emotional distress and noise complaints, and we have established a secret government slush fund to bribe them off.  Meanwhile, this is out in the wild, as of noon on June 5, 2026, on Bandcamp exclusively for now, but we suspect it may breach the streaming walls before very long.

FAVES and Larry Lynch swim Upstream on their latest single!

Facing the realities of our peculiar time head-on, here’s FAVES’ brand new original, Upstream, streaming everywhere:

Says Larry of the song,

“We wanted to write a song about the mysteries of life. As beautiful as life is, it can be difficult to get ahead and live that dream life that we all want.”
Amen to this, and thanks FAVES, for another crispy hot single. Y’all have an album’s worth at the ready, if my math is right!
