You must have been really something.

I think they only released 2 albums. I’ve still got them on CD.
“Here I Am” evokes some fond memories of the late ‘90s hanging/living at 1810.

Good morning. Taylor Swift’s new album has a song dedicated to how great Travis Kelce’s dick is.

I would give anything to listen to that locker room today.

[Googles track listing] Track 9: “Wood”.

Forgive me, it sounds cocky
He ah-matized me and opened my eyes
Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see
His love was the key that opened my thighs
Forgive me, it sounds cocky
He ah-matized me and opened my eyes
Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see
His love was the key that opened my thighs

Naaaaaaah.

I’ll take “Things I Never Needed to Be Made Aware Of” for 1000, Alex

Trying to place myself in his shoes. He was the first to hear this album (other than the producers).

Can you imagine trying to keep secret that your girlfriend/fiancee had written a song about how amazing your “wood” is?

If she had written it after they divorce I imagine it would be a much different tune

If they ever split, he is going to be slaughtered by the double album she releases shortly thereafter.

What do Taylor Swift and Spider-Man have in common?

Answer

They both murdered Jake Gyllenhaal with a bridge.

You call me up again
Just to break me like a promise

So casually cruel
In the name of being honest

Oof.

I do not know what y’all are talking about but it ain’t music.

I admit that I have become a fan of Olivia Rodrigo. The music is generic pap/pop rock, but I appreciate the humor, honesty and profanity of her lyrics. For example, her first album was mostly about her first big break-up, losing her boyfriend to Sabrina Carpenter, but there is a song on her second album - “Love is Embarrassing” - which is about how everything on her first album was bullshit.

You found a new version of me
And I damn near started World War III
Jesus, what was I even doin’?

‘Cause now, it don’t mean a thing
God, love’s fuckin’ embarrassing
Just watch as I crucify myself

For some weird second string
Loser who’s not worth mentioning
My God, love’s embarrassing as hell

Because of listening to Rodrigo, Apple Music has taken me on a magical mystery tour through contemporary chanteuses like the aforementioned Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and, of course, the OG to them all, Tay-Tay.

The music is bubble gum but well made and I find the lyrics entertaining.

Fun Fact: The official video to “Love is Embarrassing” is behind the scenes footage of the video shoot to one of the songs on her first album, “Deja Vu” (hence all the COVID protocols).

I heard my grandfather say some version of that countless times. Once he said it in response to walking past me as I was listening to Nick Lowe. I mean, it wasn’t exactly Metal Machine Music or Throbbing Gristle.

I was looking through his LPs once and he had taken a big black sharpie to the cover of one of them and had scrawled NO! DIXIE STINKS! I was like What the hell’s this? and he said They try to jazz it up, but in ain’t Dixie!

I’ll admit that when I hear Chappell Roan ambiently somewhere my reaction is not This is terrible.

My dad was a big Jimmie Rodgers fan. Every now and then he’d crank up one of his cassette tapes and play along. From my room all that hollering sounded like the Mexican neighbors were drunk again.

You’ve never lived if you haven’t been on a 2 hour roadie with your grandparents and a Boxcar Willie cassette tape playing the entire time

I was thinking about road trips with my grandfather the other day. He would often drink beer as he drove, and my grandmother’s objection wasn’t that he was drinking beer as he drove, it was that to finish the can he’d tilt his head as far back as possible to drain out the last sip and thus his eyes wouldn’t be on the road.

If all our silly pop musicians were as talented as Chappell Roan we’d be a richer world for it.

The Dad of a mate of mine from school owned a driving school. We’d take one of the driving school cars for weekend road trips because (a) we didn’t have our own cars and (2) because they had two sets of pedals.

So when the driver was taking a swig, the passenger could steer, brake and drop the clutch if necessary.
