Standing in the sun with a popsicle … everything is possible
The song that makes me happy today. (This album is just about perfect for a long, late-night drive. Each song bounces all around the car at volume. The drop at 3:20 in Positive Tension is prob my fav moment. A+ production of perfectly interweaving components in every song.)

The song that makes me happy today. (That’s about 30 years of cranking up the volume to an uncivilized level every single time I hear “stuck a pin in your backbone”.)

Suggestions based on my dive bar:
It’s 9 o’clock on a Saturday night
Regulars nod thru a day-drinking haze
There’s a broken man sittin’ next to me
Making’ love to his glory days
✌️
I made a word. Feel free to use it.
ASSLIGHTING (verb/noun/???): asserting something that is objectively untrue, knowing everyone knows it is untrue, and zealously defending the statement anyway, but purely for humor.
Ex. “Kevin Hart played the iceberg in the Titanic movie.”
I am so proud of my daughter’s Apple Music Replay.
Now we have one more who is still waiting. #thewrens
The song that makes me VERY happy today (took my son to his first real show tonight at #EchoLounge—staff were amazing—and the #lemonheads played my fav Lemonheads song to play on my guitar and gave my son the set list!).

Legend, greatest songwriter in punk rock, and alleged destroyer of Johnny Thunders’ 1957 Les Paul bc of an overcoat.

The song that makes me happy today. (Description to kiddo14: “new-age 90s-rave trance-hop” … and we agreed there should be much more of this.)

Math question that is generational (friendly) argument:
Solve for:
f ( g (x) ) = ?
If:
x=3
g (x) = x+2
F (x) = x2 (2 is superscript)
If you post answer, pls include last year you took a math class (generational question aspect).
Thx and ✌️

The song that makes me happy today. (Everything from “say the words” through the chorus has been running on nonstop repeat in my head since this morning.)

The song that makes me happy today. (I absolutely love the “Good Bad Ugly” style intro being torn from the old west and tossed into a garage rock banger of a tune.)

These are excellent posts! Thanks.

The song that makes me happy today (on the birthday of Les Paul, I remember reading about Johnny Thunders’ LP being destroyed by DeeDee Ramone—I think this is correct from the amazing book @PleaseKillMe by @legsmcneil).

There is no way any child still has the shoes on by the time of pickup.

Looking forward to the new book!
The song that makes me happy today. (This tune was a constant earbug all weekend, and I still dig it come Monday. Video is also pretty rad.)

I’ll leave that up to you. Ideally the same charts as your top 100 project, although, if that proves ridiculously difficult, perhaps either only US 100 (which I fear may result in a mostly British inaugural class) or a cut off at top 50.
Once you decide the scope, I’ll give it a go as well.
Out of curiosity, if you had seven picks for the inaugural class of a one hit wonders hall of fame, who would it be?
Legit one hit wonders only—no more than one top 100 song, specified as such bc I very much enjoy your running top 100s posts. ✌️

The song that makes me happy today. (Love anything Greg Dulli, but I once met Joseph Arthur at Stubbs BBQ during soundcheck, and he asked the BBQ joint for fish. Good show for me but my amigo spent an hour vomiting up an insanely hot Serrano burger in a Porto-potty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤮)

But t if you are running the kiln, I recommend a good bourbon and blasting McLusky Do Dallas when it gets late. It’s fire and endurance made into sound.
