Ok seriously, what the fuck is up with pop music's constant sampling of "Blue"? There are much catchier beats from one hit wonders (Return of the Mack says hello!).

over there
Went see a 90s cover band advertised as Grunge. Singer starts the show with "Let's Go Brandon." Their backdrop is a yellow "don't tread on me" flag but with Corn Holio saying "are you threatening me?" I tried internally dismissing it as tongue in cheek, but evidently I was wrong. After the "LGB" comment the first song was Pearl Jam. She then goes into "Bulls on Parade", "Say it Ain't So" and "Interstate Love Song." She then makes a few comments about not liking female singers even though she's a woman, "but fuck it here's a pussy song." Sings "Zombie." Does some crowd engagement through all of the songs and is 60/40 singing herself and letting the townies sing. She then strikes gold when she realizes someone in my group is a musician by trade and literally hands him the microphone and goes to the bathroom leaving him in charge of her band. He was loosened up enough to go with it, rest of us weren't drinking (and plotting our exit), so he went sing whatever until she got out the can.

I like a good "Fuck" inserted into conversations but during her Weezer bit she kept inserting, "say it ain't motherfucking sooooo ohhh" to the point of "it's funny, it's funny, okay it's not funny anymore....why are you like this?" She then did a pretty decent cover of "You Oughta Know" when she wasn't having the locals sing for her then demanded everyone order "Pussy shots" from the bar.

Overall the band had good talent but horrible execution. Post show we were able to ascertain many people in the bar recognized my friend was basically a ringer (he played the same venue two weeks ago) but that the singer of the band tonight didn't realize it and she just lucked out when she stuck the microphone in his face.

I don't like the idea of being the guy that gets all up in arms over an entertainer making political comments but I guess that's part of living in this garbage timeline.

Over the weekend Cher's "All I Really Want To Do" was on the radio and two days later I still can't get that damn song out of my head.

Bowling For Soup's "1985" came out in 2004 which means that in 2023 I feel super old twice.

I was not expecting to wake up this morning to the news that Sam Smith performing at the Grammy Awards. has somehow led to a bunch of conservatives going full Satanic Panic, but such is life

Fam that’s nothing compared to how outraged the bey hive is that Harry Styles won album of the year and not Queen Bey.

Hey now Pyromania was two arm drummer era Def Leppard. It’s a bummer Phil Lynott left this mortal coil before he could hear all of the great “Def Leppard’s drummer has one arm” jokes.

I was happy with my Best Of and copy of Hysteria.

"Love Bites" is one of the best songs of the era and I don't care what anyone says.

Eh, Love Bites definitely wouldn't be on my top 5 or top 10 DL tracks. Photograph and Bringin' on the Heartbreak were better singles.

I’m more of a High N Dry and Pyromania guy but Hysteria is pretty good and can’t deny it’s a classic.

“Let’s Get Rocked” is first song I think of when I think of a band being out of touch with the times (and a definitive classic rock song that fuckin’ sucks). Although tbh, at the end of the day, it ended up higher on the charts and probably gets more radio play today than all but a handful of grunge songs so who really is out of touch?

I ironically like "Rock Rock Til You Drop," though. Same feeling I get for "Let's Put The X In Sex" although Def don't have the Kiss charm.
