Seems more like Song of Back-to-School Shopping to me.

Huh, I was just listening to it the other day when I was painting some walls. Made a tedious task tolerable. I've always wondered if Jimi would've stuck with that more jammy style if he hadn't died.

But will it be Song of the Summer??????!!

Albums I like to drive to:

I would've fallen asleep at a Badly Drawn Boy concert, but I left before that happened. I'm pretty sure some of the musicians onstage were asleep though.

I didn't know Filthy Friends was a thing that was happening and now I'm really excited. I didn't know I needed Corin Tucker fronting a power-pop band in my life. I mean, I should've known, it seems obvious, but I didn't.

Hmmm, the Halsey song is surprisingly good. It helps that the lyrics aren't garbage, which is sometimes her problem.

Depression Cherry is, in fact, the best Beach House record.

'Same Old Love' was good, even though it would've been better as a Charli XCX song. When it comes to Selena Gomez, being pretty, likable, and inoffensive goes a long way. I think she should go back to acting, but that's me.

What about Seeing Sounds? I remember thinking it was pretty weak, but I haven't listened to it in years.

Paramore turning into a decent radio-pop act is the most successful stylistic shift for a band since…Fleetwood Mac maybe? Definitely a case of addition by subtraction.

Sucker was a great pop record and Charli has been maybe the most reliable pop singer for the last five years.

Would you get the impression I really wanted to see it?

Veep can be a little overly graphic to the point where the joke becomes too long, but I forgive them. I do believe people in DC are cursing out of habit in real life, though.

Have you ever mowed a lawn in the hot sun? Dug a ditch? Painted a house? Rode a bike 50K? I love high ABV, high IBU beers, but after doing a strenuous task in the heat, give me a cold Corona (or, preferably, High Life) that I can guzzle and cool down with.

You should bring beer to the party anyway, that's manners. When I'm at an outdoor party, my favorite kind of beer is cold beer.

I find it akin to putting lemon in tea. It's completely optional.

That's pretty interesting to read, but I feel like I knew all that just from reading Sedaris on my own. Maybe I'm just a skeptic, but I never believed all of the things he was writing were all true, just mostly true, especially since his writing is very much presented in the way of telling a story as opposed to giving

So Long, Frank Llyod Wright about the last days of the architect.

Maybe she's a prostitute. Man get their hearts broken by French prostitutes all the time.
