this happened with every TMBG album I could think of. always two perfect songs in a row but there’s like, a weird sound experiment track or 40-second goofball track on each side.

for me with Chronic Town, the three side one tracks are on another plane of existence entirely (not that I don’t love side two).

TMBG: Nothing’s Gonna Change My Clothes / Hotel Detective / She’s an Angel
Lincoln: Shoehorn With Teeth / Stand On Your Own Head / Snowball in Hell
Flood: Istanbul / Dead / Your Racist Friend
A18: Dig My Grave / I Palindrome I / She’s Actual Size
JH: I Should Be Allowed to Think / Extra Savoir-Faire / Why Must I Be Sad?
FS:…

this is maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Why I Like the Robins / I’d Like Your Hair Long / I Hate It Too is an incredible stretch.

For Fables I feel like you can take the first 5 songs and use any of the 3-song combos therein.

I don’t know how I spaced on this when I was doing a list a few minutes ago. What a perfect trio of songs.

I appreciate that you chose the correct trios from both The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby.

I posted a comment with like 12 albums on it, and I picked the closing three from Achtung Baby for the U2 representation, but man did I think about that exact set from Zooropa for a hot second.

Some that come to mind relatively quickly for me are:

Yes. Answering the question, instead of rolling your eyes, making faces, and not responding to the person asking the question like they’re a dumbass.

FIGURES the year hoops come back is the year we don’t fucking make the World Cup.

This is true, Sid is the second best player in his league.

Slow motion or frame-by-frame is good when you’re trying to determine if something crossed a line (like a hockey puck crossing the goal line or a football runner’s foot being out of bounds) or beat the clock (basketball shot getting off in time). Everything else should be at regular speed.

I know all of this, and I don’t care.

Daniel Bryan rules. He should also not wrestle anymore.

Re: Tim Allen — My parents are otherwise pretty well in tune with what sucks and what doesn’t, most of the time. Certainly they’re exceptionally with it for folks in their mid-to-late 50s. But they love - LOVE - The Big Bang Theory. I can’t explain it.

The two stones in question would cancel each other out, leaving the 1.
