New playlist SUMMER IS READY WHEN YOU ARE, a 90 minute mix of surf rock, garage rock, and indie from various eras for classic beach party vibe Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/7axk6… Apple: music.apple.com/us/playlist/su… YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=…
I didn’t know how much I needed to witness @perpetua performing Vogue at karaoke, resulting in a full party Vogue, until right this second
bumping this up for the NIGHT SURFERS and the WEST COAST BEACH BABES
"that's that me espresso" is a perfect pop lyric - weird syntax, a strange way of expressing an already peculiar sentiment, it tickles the brain in a way that makes the hook even catchier - much more musical and interesting than all the thudding literalism of contemporary lyrics

Oooooooooooo ..... !
assuming the setlists on this tour are all kinda like this it looks like I picked a great time to finally see Neil live - "Down by the River" is especially exciting to me

really enjoying my foray into guided by voices, in case you were wondering
I saw a comment saying that Seinfeld is just bitter that no one likes him anymore, and then a defender leapt in to point out that Seinfeld is still extremely popular and also at his biggest in the '90s he was exactly as miserable as he is now. Touche
Jerry Seinfeld is on the New Yorker Radio Hour blaming "the extreme left" & "PC crap" for why there are no sitcoms anymore. Not streamers or any systemic reasons that we *just* saw at play with the WGA strike. Just "The wokes won't let us make comedy anymore." Absolute brain rot.
@willmenaker “Wow you’re telling me this for the first time” “We love _____, don’t we folks?”
@willmenaker Sad! I'll still keep drinking that garbage (about virtually any drink at all) You're telling me now, for the first time
Many such cases Bye bye! More and more people are saying it Very nasty Washed up psycho Bette Midler

+ the flashes of it that we do get are extremely successful? say so by doja lyrically makes no sense and was great. need to know was a promo single about dicks that was so successful she had to send it to radio. katy perry was never meant to sing about adulthood, just penis jokes
there’s really no mystery or even levity in popular music anymore. we traded the theatrics of gaga being murdered on stage and the whimsey of katy perry’s whipped cream boobs for literal, lyrical “who’s this about!!!” songs from people like drake, taylor, etc.
its been repeated over and over that this is the swedish pop writing method but honestly even the swedes and their camps have kind of moved away from it. it died in the mid-2010s when social media took over and everyone demanded pop stars be as “authentic” and “realistic”.

@perpetua @alshipley mars has a lot of lyrics like that. he’s so good at making weird rorschach test lyrics that kind of dissolve under inspection but are incredible at painting this bigger emotional picture you can latch onto (i’m thinking of one time too many here)
is there anything more undignified than eating junk food that sheds? like cheetos, doritos, those gummy fruit slices, etc? and yet those are the top tier items.
