the monday fun corner

[posteverything]

as a public service to all: a short list of songs that should no longer be included on any mix CD as of 2008, to anybody and for any intended purpose, lest you invite other people making fun of you, as determined by myself and the lovely cardiorrhexis.Sleater-Kinney, "You're No Rock 'n Roll Fun

Comments

[superhappytime]

These kind of annoy me now, though I like them once
Sleater-Kinney, "You're No Rock 'n Roll Fun"
Rilo Kiley, "Portions for Foxes"
Elliot Smith, "Needle In The Hay"

I still like these:
Modest Mouse, "Float On"
The Strokes, "Is This It"
The Postal Service, "Such Great Heights"
Sufjan Stevens, "To Be Alone With You"

These were always kind of over-rated:
Nick Drake, "One Of These Things First"
Jeff Buckley, "Hallejuah"

I'm not positive I know these:
Rufus Wainwright, "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk"
Ryan Adams, "Come Pick Me Up"

I'm not positive I even want to know these:
Snow Patrol, "How to Be Dead"
Panic At the Disco, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies"

Things I might be considering for lunch, but it's up in the air:
burrito
bbq
left over chili from my fridge
chinese

[posteverything]

Things I already had for lunch:
yakisoba
diet coke

You'd probably like the Ryan Adams song. I still do, but I used to get it almost every time back in the mix CD-tradin' days.

[cardiorrhexis]

Yakisoba is delicious. Now I want to eat it. :(

[posteverything]

Then I shall regurgitate it in your mouth like you was a baby bird.

Or! Do you have a Wal-Mart Supercenter over there? It's like 86 cents a piece up in that joint.

[stardonic]

goddamn i still get so much apples in stereo "the benefits of lying with your friend" and belle and sebastian. it's like everyone who makes me mix cd's is still stuck in the 90's with me.

i think i put "hallelujah" on one of your mixes once :

[posteverything]

Oh, the Apples in Stereo! Yes! That's one that really should have been on that list. But which Belle and Sebastian?

No way you put that song on any of your mix CDs. I was actually looking at those last week. You really did love Le Tigre, however. :)

[stardonic]

funny 'cause i don't like le tigre now. i think they fit well on mix cd's sometimes though cause they're loud and their songs are short. i don't know though, i used to get "nice day for a sulk" alll the time.

[posteverything]

That is a good song, but oh yeah. To be honest I still like their older stuff, probably up to "Fold Your Hands, Child..". Their newer stuff I can't really get behind, though.

[andreamarie]

I made a mix CD for someone last week. Wanna know what was on it? That Rilo Kiley song. !! I'm so lame.

[posteverything]

Well, if the person you sent it to isn't a music snob like I am, then probably not.

Just stay away from the music snobs, Andrea Marie. You'll be fine.

[andreamarie]

But I like music snobs... especially behind the Home Depot.

[posteverything]

Oh my goodness...you've been on a roll lately, kiddo. :]

[dusty_chenille]

ha.. I know I've been guilty in the past of putting Nick Drake on mix CDs! But not that song. Still though, now I am too afraid almost to even listen to Nick Drake for fear of being too cliches.. oh wait a minute, who am I kidding? Of course I'm not. I might just go put on Bryter Layter and goddamn anybody who don't like it. :)

Wow, I am suddenly intrigued by the lives and times of porn stars. It's too bad I'm not a porn star, because "Lisa Loving" is a good porn name. Although it might be too subtle. Thoughts?

[posteverything]

Hell dude, I was just listening to Bryter Layter about a week ago, drivin' to the community college, eating Twizzlers, gettin' information. There's nothing wrong with enjoying Nick Drake in the privacy of your own pickup truck, IMO. It's just that those days of Nick Drake songs being in Volkswagen commercials are over. And that's another thing, anybody who's ever had a song in a commercial is disqualified.

What about "Lisa McLovin"?

[dusty_chenille]

McLovin! Ha, I'd be the perfect porn star for nerdy high school boys trying to buy booze so they can score at parties. :)

It's sad but true, some good songs are appropriated--I mean, whored out-- to sell Volkswagens and shit.

What I love, though, is the thought of you as a pickup truck driver. Yay! what kind is it? I must know, for some reason.

I'm driving a 2000 Jeep Cherokee. Sigh. It's white, like I might suddenly whip the thing around and run off to deliver milk. But hey--a person needs wheels in a small town.

[posteverything]

It's a little Isuzu Hombre, green. I had a guy a few months back look at it and tell me "You know, that barely even qualifies as a truck." Still, there's no feeling like driving past a garage sale and knowing that if you wanted to buy that couch, all you gotta do is just chuck it in the bed and that's that. I mean, I don't intend on muddin' in the thing or whatever, so...

So are you getting into porn, really? It might be fun.

[tydye_eyes]

Wait, wait wait... no "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies"?!

Oh, how despondent I shall be. =P

[posteverything]

Don't get me wrong, you can do it if you want! You just have to accept the repercussions of what might happen, if you do.
