The b side to a song called Jimmy Coma - their first ever release. It’s a good glimpse at how great they would soon be (and still are!)

Pernice Brothers - “Monkey Suit”

If only the whole 80’s decade had been as glorious and tuneful as this, which feels (to me at least) like a musical homage to it. This guy always kills no matter the setting!

7. Rostam - “4Runner” (USA; March 2021)

The b-side to a version of Maps they played live at AOL studios, this one was way more different than the original and turned a stomper into something truly touching

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - “Our Time” (live acoustic @ AOL)

My wife watched TikToks of a nanny making up songs w/ the kid she was sitting. I went wow they’re catchy - but I never expected such clever, expertly crafted pop that’s topical!

8. Jax - “Victoria’s Secret” (USA; June 2022)

Could have gone with ol’ Sam’s more famous Postal Service cover yesterday, but honestly I prefer this off the rarities collection

Like they never left! Blend perfect, the ecstatic nature of their harmonies still shines - even if used for tension. I hope this LP (Forward) isn’t the end

They are effectively ending the program because they fired almost everyone who can process applications so people will starve before they get re-enrolled.

These incredible fucking assholes.

These application processes are already so deeply burdensome and frustrating.

They are trying to starve people.

My Green Day "Warning" 25th anniversary CD boxset just arrived.

4-CD set for $17? What a steal! Looking forward to giving the Tokyo live show a spin (none of the tracks appeared on the "Tune In Tokyo" release apparently!)

As you saw in my 69 Love Songs version, I like choices! Some may think ranking some of this great band’s greatest songs can’t be done…
