Yeah....whatever!

Cracker - Some bands just sound good to my ear no matter what they are doing. Cracker is one and this is one of their best efforts, maybe THE best. Great ability to write fantastic rave ups and then turn around and write great quiet songs. Sure they borrow a lot – even from themselves this time out – but they always sound uniquely Cracker. One of my favorite CDs of the year - 4

Placebo – Their greatest strength (his voice) is what ultimately drags you down the longer you listen. His voice has the ability to cut through the great guitar riffs and he dominates the songs, but he just gets tiresome eventually, grating almost. Still a pretty solid rock record with some tunes I’ll listen to again. Just not very many in a row - 3

Herbie Hancock - I don’t play an instrument. Gave piano, trumpet and guitar uninspired tries, but with no success. And I’ve never arranged or written any music at all. But I couldn’t help but feel that I could have written this music. After all, I’ve watched enough 60’s detective TV shows and watched enough porn movies to capture the sound as well as Herbie has done with this. I am astounded that someone actually released this, much less someone as accomplished as Herbie Hancock. Last song saves it from getting the dreaded zero – at least it has some real swing to it. The rest is just dreck. 1

Modest Mouse - The most complicated record this month. These guys don’t just write songs, go to a studio and let fly. No, these guys create CDs and because they spend so much time and effort making it different they invite much more criticism than, say Cracker. With Cracker, either you like the song or you don’t. With Modest Mouse it’s more complicated and if they are going to take the time to turn perfectly wonderful melodies into shitstorms (which they do at times)- then I get to tell them that the noodling is excessive, wearying and pointless. Luckily, they don't do it to every song and they are talented enough for the great melodies to shine through and the annoying shit (processed vocals, stupid background noises, sudden changes in melody) eventually fades into the background with repeated listens.
3.5

Otis Redding - Nice collection of songs. Perfect for Sunday mornings hanging out. Soothes what ails you.

Not very introspective so I have no idea what songs describe who I am. Probably songs about alcohol or sports. You choose.

As for the other question, the first thing that comes to mind is that I'd want to hear the first song I ever heard that thrilled me - Ticket to Ride. It made me want to listen to music. The second one I would want to hear would be the song that changed my entire outlook on music - God Save the Queen. And the last thing I would like to hear in my life is the last 6 minutes of the Live at the Fillmore East version of In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. Duane's solo. As for the rest? I don't know. Throw in a Replacements song (maybe Bastards), something by the Ramones (Rockaway Beach perhaps) and a Sonic Youth song. And I'm done.

Rick Nirvana Astley anyone?

Hey! A Synopsis for Once.

I think everyone will agree that the ultimate highlight to our July meeting was that I was allowed to read 3 sets of reviews. God knows it was my highlight. My close second was the swell morbidity of Alan's topic. If the idea of crappin' out of this existence wasn't sucky enough to consider, I had to think about riding out of this life with only 30 minutes of my vast music collection. Swell.

Sorry, got unprofessional there. In regards to the reviews, not a hell of a lot of surprises. Herbie got ripped, Modest Mouse was liked by those who should like it, Cracker- well was awesome and loved by all with half a sense (whatup d'Arcy?) and the only possible surprise was the adulation Placebo got. No pans.

The topics were unanimously won by Mr. Lawless with his insightful gravity on the subjects at hand. Sadly for the rest of us at the DYN crew, he pegged us on his first sentence in his topic submission. Please look into the mirror and see for yourselves. We're pathetic.....

um...the meeting moved along since PW'd Jay had to leave when his wife pulled him out of the Spigot by his ear- did I say we were pathetic...

Next meeting is August 11th

Greg has New
Ken, c'est moi, is host (Terry Kath Ghits)
Monsta is New (Wilco)
Mike M is Old

My topic will be more of a personal musical assessment and when sent to you (in hard copy with CD) my request is that you answer it in one sitting. Don't it sound like a gas?!?

Thinking of gas- da Monsta will be joining us for our September meeting, barring any gastro-infection, on a special night Wednesday, September 9th. Jim Lehrer will moderate.

thank you and goodnight.....

Phew- stayed out of bottom 10- Ken's reviews

Herbie Hancock- Manchild

This was the middle of Herbie’s funk phase. The opener, “Hang up Your Hang-ups”, in my opinion, is one the funkiest, busiest songs ever recorded and is the reason I submitted this recording because I think the world should know that one tune. The rest is spotty. The upbeat groovers are fairly successful, but the slow burners kind of burn out by being way too long with nothing new to offer. “Hang up Your Hang-ups” is a 5 but Manchild as a whole is a (3).

Cracker- Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey

Bought this the minute I heard about, though with trepidation since their last one Greenland immensely blew. By “Turn On…”, I realized that Lowery and friends were back with quick witted, catchy, pseudo-country rock Cracker is known for. What endears me to Cracker is the oddball lyrics about oddball characters without being woe-is-me. There is nothing clichéd or expected and for some reason when they are on, their songs always feel short, even at 4+ minutes. (4)

Modest Mouse- The Moon and Antarctica

I understand why the critiques like Modest Mouse; they’re quirky, all over the place and will never see the dial on radio. But for me they are a layered vocal jumbled mess. More arty than catchy, more work than I want to provide. I just have to ask why? (1)

Placebo

My surprise of the month. Like a skill saw to a two by four this one caught and kept my attention from “Kitty Litter”. Sounding a little like if the Decemberists and Snow Patrol formed a Jesus and Mary Chain cover band. Maybe. Anyway its noisy with a purpose. (3.5)

Otis Redding- Best Of

Real R&B. Real soul. Just plain real and sadly from a life lived too short. Excellent mix.

Topic;

Question 1 

….She enjoys all kinds of music, but only has an attention span of 30 minutes...so what 30 minutes of music would you give her? 

Most of the women I have dated had a 30 minute or less attention span and most weren’t fond of my music. So this question posed to be a challenge. It would make a difference on my mood. Maybe I’d give her “Highlands” by Dylan, “South California Purples” (live from Chicago IV) or maybe “Green Grass and High Tides” (live) or In-a-Gadd-Da-Vida, possible Ravel’s Bolero, but alas those would leave me single again.

Most likely, if I did this for real, I would burn a disc that included a song by the following; Dylan, John Hiatt, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Cult and the Beatles.

Question 2

Another hypothetical...you are dying.  You are comfortable, but bed ridden and you know you only have 30 minutes left to live.  You decide to listen to music with your remaining time alive.  What do you listen to?

Thanks for the bummer topic Alan…..not sure what I would have popped on. A mix is out- not enough time to compile. I think I would steer away from sappy slow stuff – burn out instead of fade away- you know. I would want my last minutes to be as exhilarating as possible. I pick my Tom Morello best of and hope I go during a solo.

Can we get a legend? Please reply, y'all.

I am never sure who wrote what since none of us go by our names. Everyone, please "comment" on this post with your handle. Cool...?

The Mong
Music Group Commentary
July 2009

Cracker – “Sunrise In The Land Of Milk And Honey” – 3.5 Stars
Simply, a great, rockin’ album. Nothing new for Cracker but who cares when it’s this good. Between the new Green Day, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Chris Isaak, Robert Pollard (Boston Spaceships), and Superdrag albums (on top of the new Superchunk and Spoon singles), apparently 2009 is a '90s revival of '90s bands that [sans Green Day] sound as if they were plucked from their lost tracks of the '90s. (Phew, that’s a lot of '90s for one sentence.) All we need now is for Kurt Cobain to rise from the grave and reunite Nirvana.

Herbie Hancock – “Man-Child” – 1 Star
I can appreciate the musicianship as a time-capsule (hence the single star) but I cannot get past what is essentially a very, very bad seventies movie score. I swear that some of this stuff has actually been used in exploitation film soundtracks from that decade. Brutal! Just brutal.

Modest Mouse – “The Moon and Antarctic” – 4.5 Stars
Perhaps one of the best under-heard albums of the last ten years... Give me this scruffy, snotty Modest Mouse over the pop, slick Modest Most that came only a few years later. Sure, their crowd-pleasing, lesser-work is arguably a natural evolution both musically and commercially for any pseudo-obscure yet critically acclaimed band; yet, with Modest Mouse, as with Spoon’s “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga,” their “progression” seemed calculated and somehow devious...Almost a betrayal to longtime fans (so I hope they made some bank for our suffering). Anyway, other Modest Mouse standouts are “The Lonesome Crowded West” (for my money, their 5-star best) and “Interstate 8.”

Placebo – “Battle For The Sun” – 3 Stars
And I mean this as a compliment: a total D’Arcy band ... And yet another winner this month. Nice.

G’hits – Otis Redding
Gawd-dam amazing stuff. I’m thrilled to add this “G’hits” to my music library.

Alan’s Questions:

Question 1 - It's a hypothetical...you meet an amazing girl who really wants to get to know you better. Problem is that she wants you to bear your soul to her through a mix of music that you think expresses the depth and range of your emotions. She enjoys all kinds of music, but only has an attention span of 30 minutes...so what 30 minutes of music would you give her?

I’d give her Guided by Voices “Bee Thousand.” If she can handle that, she can handle anything else Mongillo. My wife actually passed this test. ...Or was it me who passed hers...?

Question 2 - Another hypothetical...you are dying. You are comfortable, but bed ridden and you know you only have 30 minutes left to live. You decide to listen to music with your remaining time alive. What do you listen to?

Probably a Black Sabbath mix.

Here I Come to Save the Day...no, that's MIGHTY Mouse

Herbie Hancock – Manchild

This is admittedly not my favorite genre of music, so I’m sure I’ll be over critical. For me, this was the type of “groove jazz” that was just a half a step away from disco and while I can appreciate the musicianship, I can’t make this foreground music. It was best listened to while working around the house. Track after track blended into each other, with only the very occasional sax, harmonica or keyboard solo, so by the time it was over, I didn’t feel as if I listened to anything more than an extended version of the Sanford and Son theme…or was it Chico and the Man…anyway, 2 ½ stars since the groove was good most of the time.

Modest Mouse – The Moon and Antarctica

I didn’t know much about them going in, so I had to resort to Wikipedia which told me that they were an influential indie band from Washington state that took their name from a passage in a Virginia Wolff story and that this was their first CD for Epic and that it was a departure, as in “more experimental” than their earlier albums. To me, it sounded like I would give it a 5 if I had been doing acid or mushrooms while listening. Right from 3rd planet, it sounded so spacey…not in a bad way, but hard for me to get into. Not something I’d listen to again…unless you’re gonna hook me up, Sandi… 3 stars.

Battle For the Sun – Placebo

When I was a kid, I played the grooves out of Bowie’s “The Rise and Fall of Ziggie Stardust”. Battle For The Sun is today’s Ziggie. This has lots of great Pop/Rock hooks and good production (though you do have to like strings) along with a really compelling vocal sound. I had heard “For What It’s Worth” a couple of weeks ago and liked it, but didn’t know who it was…in fact, I was a little amused at the breakdown in the song thinking that if you plug in the lyrics of the Foo Fighters “All My Life” no one would know since the vocal line is identical…anyway, Ashtray Heart, Devil in the Details and The Never Ending Why could all be hit singles. D’Arcy, if you have any of their earlier stuff I’d love to hear it. 4 stars.

Cracker – Sunrise In The Land Of Milk And Honey
This is one of those bands, and one of those CD’s that benefits greatly from two consistent key members that haven’t lost an inch off their fastballs. David Lowery and Jim Hickman give us another witty, solid alt country album with just a bit more resignation than “teen angst”. I’m sure I’ll listen to this again and again, just like their first and the Golden Age and Garage D’Or. Strangely, I missed their 2nd CD, but this on reminds me to go and get it. 4 stars.

Otis Redding's Greatest Hits - I don't think there's any more powerful and urgent voice in R&B than Otis had in his short time with us. Add in the Stax production - especially the Steve Cropper guitars - and you have a great hour of listening as well as musical history.

OK...so my questions were either a little weird or a little maudlin for some, but here are my answers none the less:

Discussion question #1 – You meet a girl and she wants to know all about you through music. 30 minute limit. What songs do you choose to define/describe yourself?

1 .I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times – Brian Wilson/Beach Boys. I’ve often felt like an outsider, or at least out of the mainstream…and there’s some ego involved as I occasionally think that I eventually outgrew many people who I chose to hang with in my teens and twenties.

2. Cynical Girl – Marshall Crenshaw - “I hate TV…there’s gotta be someone other than me. It goes to the type of woman I enjoy. Brains over beauty, with an edge and an attitude. The best case would be a woman with those attributes and the social grace to discern when to “play the game” and when she doesn’t have to.

3. Let’s Pretend – Raspberries - It nails my feelings on romantic fantasy and the importance of a captured moment. And it IS fantasy, hence, Let’s Pretend and not “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”.

4. Father of Mine – Everclear – No life is complete without some dysfunction and mine is with my dad.

5. I Changed the Rules – Peter Cincotti. It’s all about the desire to march to my own drummer and always question authority. It is an unalterable facet of my personality.

6. Humor Me – Dean Friedman. “Underneath this cynical exterior there’s a child in me waiting for the chance to prove that all my logic is inferior to romance”.

7. Guilty – Randy Newman - Because there’s a little self-loathing going on with me, too. “How come I never do what I’m supposed to do. How come nothin’ that I try to do ever turns out right? …It takes a whole lot of medicine to make me pretend to be somebody else”.

Question 2 – It’s your last 30 minutes of life. What do you listen to and what’s the last song you want to hear before you die?

Peaceful, modal music, but songs that had meaning to me through out my life…

Reflections of my Life – The Marmalade
Here, There and Everywhere – Beatles
Wild Horses – Stones
Annabelle’s Song – Everclear
Remember – Harry Neilsson
Performance – Joe Cocker
The Lord’s Prayer – Beach Boys

Missing Greg's July Reviews

Music Group July 14, 2009

Placebo – Battle for the Sun – 4

First time Placebo listener, I hope they are the real thing because I really like the way I feel when I listen to them. I loved the catchy lyrics and the singer’s carefree nasally voice made were a perfect match for one another. At times I think they were a little too “Pet Shop Boys”, I even heard a little Johnny Rotten in his voice on “Speak in Tongues”, I could see this being a bigger band in the 1980s though. Not enough bands incorporate horns and strings into their music and the ones that do typically don’t seem to be as popular as the three chord bands. I checked out the bands older songs and they are a lot more poppy then their earlier stuff, but I like it. It may be no surprise, but this was my “album of the month”. Although it should be noted that at writing time I haven’t received any other cds except for Modest Mouse. 4

Modest Mouse – 1.5

I was excited when I saw MM on the list for this month, I was a little disappointed with what I heard though. Nothing really flowed for me with this band. I felt like I was listening more to a garage band that never quite made it so they threw together a mishmash of their jam songs and put them on a cd and said what the fuck. That’s what I find myself saying too. A few songs were Pink Floyd enough for me to pay attention, but beyond those the disk was flat. Maybe the other albums are worth the hype, but not this one. 1.5

Cracker – Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey – 3.5

God help me, I think I might like country music, well; I really like “Friends” at least. Does tongue in cheek country still count as country? One way or another Cracker was pretty good. The cd had just enough diversity to not bore me to death. After each song I found myself ready to just forward through the next song anticipating it to be similar to the previous song, but I was always pleasantly surprised and found myself enjoying most of the cd. I’d almost compare this cd to a modern day Travelling Wilbury’s CD, just enough Dylan and Petty and catchiness. 3.5

Otis Redding – Greatest Hits

I had no idea where a few of these songs that others have covered actually came from. Obviously Otis is the man. It’s a shame that he isn’t as popular as some of the remake bands, he obviously has more talent than some of them. I suppose coming from a Tom Waits fan, I’m used to that.

Great talent, great fun.

Herbie Hancock –

Sorry I lost this disk. It’s too bad because I have never heard anything by Herbie except “Rockit”

Question1 - It's a hypothetical...you meet an amazing girl who really wants to get to know you better. Problem is that she wants you to bear your soul to her through a mix of music that you think expresses the depth and range of your emotions. She enjoys all kinds of music, but only has an attention span of 30 minutes...so what 30 minutes of music would you give her?

Hello….. Of course it’s a hypothetical. We are a bunch of guys hanging out in a sports bar talking about music. Maybe it’s a good thing I am not at this meeting.

There are actually two sets of songs that I can use. The “I want to marry this girl” songs, and the “I am going to get so laid tonight” songs. Also, I have to assume that because of my typical taste I’m going to lose this girl if I play her what I really like. If I did play her my actual ultimate playlist and she liked it, she’s either the one for me, or she’s a psycho killer. With that said, I’m assuming that I need these 30 minutes to get into her pants. But here are my two scenarios: (in keeping with the group rules I’ll keep both lists to a combined 30 minutes)

Marry me songs:

Unchained Melody – Righteous Brothers

As Time Goes By – Dooly Wilson

Journey – Open Arms (Trust me, it works)

Get ready for the best 30 seconds of your life songs:

Prince – Darling Nikki (that’s probably the only song I’ll get to play)

If I’m having an especially good night I’ll go with Barry White “Can’t get enough of your love, baby”

Question 2 - Another hypothetical...you are dying. You are comfortable, but bed ridden and you know you only have 30 minutes left to live. You decide to listen to music with your remaining time alive. What do you listen to?

Kind of a morbid question, Alan. Maybe you are spending too much time away from home.

Anyway, my answer, and hopefully it isn’t something I’ll have to ponder any time too soon is:

Either:

Vivaldi Four Seasons or Rush Moving Pictures (how’s that for diversity? Either way I’m not getting through either album in its entirety)

Hot fun in the Summertime

Herbie Hancock – Hancock is a gifted keyboardist, but these songs meander without much focus and each track seems to overstay its welcome at about the 3-minute mark. I didn’t hear anything distinguishing Hancock from Bob James, George Duke, Weather Report, or any number of 70’s fusion artists. Couple of tracks veered dangerously close to porn soundtrack territory. 2.5 stars

Modest Mouse – I liked “We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank”, but couldn’t connect with this one at all. Some good moments (“Dark Center of the Universe”), some really bad moments (“The Cold Part”), and gobs of mediocrity. Vocals were pretty much shite throughout, and none of the lyrics I heard meant much. Dragged on waaaaay too long. 2 stars

Cracker – Cracker is at their best when they play their version of country music, peaking on 2003’s criminally ignored “Countrysides”. Excluding the Patterson Hood duet, this disc steers away from that style; yet it’s not a disappointment. The high energy, focused songs play to their other strengths, namely Hickman’s guitar licks and Lowrey’s biting wit. “Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out with Me” is the song of the summer thus far. I’d have preferred a sequel to “Countrysides”, but this is a very good disc by a largely unappreciated band. 4 stars

Placebo - Playing the genre card here. This is not a disc I would choose to listen to, but I can see why someone who liked hard rock would. Production is pristine, it sounds really good. Band seems to have good chops, they play tight and with power. Vocalist sounds like the guy from the Decemberists. Lyrics are fine. Can’t find fault with anything on it, just not my type of music. 3 genre stars

Otis Redding – Not sure what there is to be said. A boatload of great music made in about a 5-year span. Otis’ voice by itself was so soulful; to combine it with the Stax horns and Cropper/Dunn is an excess of riches. Just a great disc that captures almost all the highlights (no Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa??).

Discussion Question

1)
Redneck Friend – Jackson Browne
Supergirl – The Fugs
A Man Needs a Maid – Neil Young
Do Me Baby – Prince
It Ain’t Gonna Suck Itself – Cracker
It’s a Man’s World – James Brown

Any girl who returns my calls after that mix is a keeper.

2) A toughie, but here’s my 30 minutes (in order):

“Thunder Road” – Bruce
“Mississippi” – Bob
“Powderfinger” – Neil
“A Ghost to Most” – Drive By Truckers
“Keep Me in Your Heart for a While” – Warren Zevon
“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” – Monty Python
“Amazing Grace” – Blind Boys of Alabama

Alan's Great Gig In The Sky

Placebo. Battle For The Sun-2009
Interesting name. In my business a placebo is a pill that does absolutely nothing for you. I can’t say this cd did absolutely nothing for me. It just doesn’t do enough for me. There are some good songs, for sure. Ashtray Heart. For What It’s Worth. Speaking In Tongues. Kings Of Medicine, and The Never Ending Why are good tunes. But even these are not enough to make me want to go out and buy more Placebo cd’s. Although, like a placebo- if you take enough of them and believe that they are going to help you- they just might. Who knows; maybe if I listen to enough Placebo I might start to believe! Placebo’s Battle gets a solid 2.5

Cracker. Sunrise In The Land Of Milk And Honey-2009
I like Cracker. I like their weirdness. I like their humor. This is a solid record and a very enjoyable listen. Lowry’s voice is as strong and assured as ever and the band plays with focused intensity and energy. I enjoy every tune- often. A great record. Cracker gets a solid 4.0

Modest Mouse. The Moon And Antarctica- 2000
Another band I really like. This cd opens up with probably my favorite MM track. In fact the first 5 tracks are stellar. It’s not that I don’t like the next 4 tracks- I do; they’re just a little more reflective, maybe even brooding. But it fits the album as a whole. And just when you start to get a little tired of it they pick things right up with Wild Pack of Family Dogs and close it out with another great tune- What People Are Made Of. For sure this cd is a little bit of a complex listen—but it’s so worth it. MM gets a solid 4.0

Herbie Hancock. Man-Child-1974
It may not be Head Hunters (a classic) but this is a solid, groove oriented jazz/funk fusion record that had my toes tappin and my head bobbin from beginning to end.
Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Bennie Maupin, Wah Wah Watson. What’s not to like? D’Arcy? Herbie gets a solid 3.0

Otis redding. G'Hits
This guy's wonderfully grainy voice and galvanizing stage presence made him one of the greatest male soul singers of all time. Great compilation- thanks Alan!


Question 1.
Pretty Girl Why- Buffalo Springfield
Live, Love And Learn- Jess Roden Band
Be With Me- The Butts Band
House Of Cards- Radiohead
Fearless- Pink Floyd
Mandolin Wind- Rod Stewart
Cleaning Windows- Van Morrison

Question 2.
Roll a fatty and listen to Wharf Rat- Grateful Dead Live at Winterland 12/31/1978
followed by Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon and right about when The Great Gig In The Sky is playing it’ll be lights out… so long cruel world! Thanks for this question Alan. I think I’ll go have a good cry now.

Alright already!!

Van Halen - I made fun of Hopkins for this pick, proudly stating that I owned no Van Halen records. They are just one of those bands I don’t ever have to hear again in my life. Don’t hate ‘em, just tired of the stuff I hear on the radio. And listening to this I realize the stuff that didn’t make the radio isn’t better than the stuff that did, so I guess I’m not really missing anything by not owning any of their records. But this isn’t a bad listen at all. The radio hits deserved their status and the other songs, while lyrically as stupid as you can ever find, are instantly recognizable as Van Halen. And there’s something to be said for style. I doubt I’ll ever feel like pulling this out again, but I get why people like it. There’s something quintessentially “Rock” about this which makes it endearing on a certain level. The banality of the lyrics pushes it dangerously close to self-parody, though. When Spinal Tap (or even the Dictators for that matter) lampoon and celebrate rock simultaneously, they know they are doing so because they are smart writers. Sometimes this sounds like Roth and friends are doing the same, but unintentionally. 3

Thermals - Solid rock album by a band that should be much bigger than they are now and this CD is one of the reasons. Hooks and guitars and some smart writing. No particular standouts because it is so solid top to bottom. I feel as though i should like it more, though. Still it's a 4

Green Day – I’m sure this is good, but I never got the chance to listen to it even though I have two copies. Guess I’m over Green Day. Sorry Mong. Anyway, I’ll get around to it some day and let you know.

Trail of the Dead - Half good and half bad. And you knew that was going to be the case right away. A time wasting intro followed by the best song on the album. But of course halfway through that great song, they choose to waste about a minute for no good reason. There seems to be such talent here, but there is so much wasted shit. They need to be better at self –editing. This could have been a great EP. The first song brings it from a 2.5 to a 3. That’ll be on my year end compilation.

Genesis - Of course I went into this with bad intentions. Surprisingly, I didn’t think this was awful, but what struck me was how relentlessly mediocre and boring they are. How did they ever sell any records? I could go on and maybe even be funny, but it’s too boring to even ridicule.

Great Lines

Cars, girls, surfing, beer- nothing else matters here (Dictators)

You don’t need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows (Dylan)

There’s only two things in life but I forget what they are (Hiatt)

I believe this and it’s been tested by research,
He who fucks nuns will later joins the church (Clash)

Favorite Songs That Received No Airplay

I would guess that only 10 of my favorite 100 songs received any airplay, so the question is – What are my five favorite songs. Too hard to say as it changes every day.
