Is Scott Evans around here?

I need some of these stickers!

Maybe I can get a couple three tossed into the sleeve of Piecework when I grab it...

I wanna get booked at one of those NPR bookstore shows, set up our band and pretend to start playing just to take one of the books from the bookshelf and start reading out loud for the entirety of our time slot, a children's book preferably.

I mean, that will never happen and I can't get over the fact that no one did it yet.

Dude, we heard your music, I wanna listen you read Anne Frank out loud instead!

Oh, and a belated nabijem te na nenadojebani kurac, pompozna seljačino to OrthodoxEaster for his comments on my second language comprehension.

Coconut cashew butter granola mixed with goat milk kefir may be the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth.

That song might have the all-time worst gap in quality between the verses and the chorus. That chorus is just . . . “awful” seems too inadequate a term.

Just happened to hear Duran Duran’s theme song to View to a Kill. That one also has a pretty vast quality-gap between the verses and the chorus.

“Dance into the fire.” Come on.

Yeah, but it was written for a James Bond film, so 'dance into the fire' works for me.

It does make me wonder whether they plucked that chorus from a completely unrelated song.

(I do still like it the song.)

I do not care if I lose cred over this

I have no clue what their deep cuts are like, but I like a bunch of the singles.

Some of the synth-pop hits I despised growing up now kinda appeal to me. Tears for Fears, Howard Jones, so on.

It’s fucked up how I feel about DD

Older sisters engrained this shit into me before I was ten years old.

My grandpa hated DD. One day the MUZAK channel played “The Reflex” and he lost his shit. It was spectacular.

I only knew “the hits” back in the day, and listening back to their s/t album, it’s all basic shit in the key of E. But damn, I like the album cuts better than the singles.

In my stupid suburban cover band, I’ve been trying to get the others to play songs like “Friends of Mine”. They don’t wanna.

I fully acknowledge I have a problem.
