Jennifer’s comments about radio pain spurred me to think about how to normalize our radio pain to examine exactly the demons that lurk amidst unknown radio playlists that can send us to our earworm, or worse, doom.
I propose we construct a 3B! Pandora radio station with which to use for our poorly subscribed horrible radio song contest.
Here is how it will work. Our station needs to have the following criteria. A) Random B) Cheesy C) Possibly awful D) Unexpected.
How we will accomplish this is as follows: everyone needs to list 5 songs with which we can seed this station. The songs need to cover these five categories:
1) A song you love but you KNOW is definitely not for everyone.
2) A song you are embarrassed about loving so you will roll up the car window when it comes on.
3) A song that you have a hate relationship with, meaning a song you are familiar with and CANNOT stand.
4) A song that do NOT like from a band you DO like.
5) A song that you love so much you would nutpunch someone for denigrating it.
When we have all the songs, I will seed the station and send it to everyone via e-mail and then we can proceed with the contest, including attempting to blame each other for whatever crap it coughs up.
We can do this, people!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE
6) A song that you still love no matter how overplayed
7) A song that you love intellectually but will guiltily turn on the radio when it comes on, even listening to (2) instead FOR SHAME
FRIST!!!
1) A song you love but you KNOW is definitely not for everyone. Heh. 2112.
2) A song you are embarrassed about loving so you will roll up the car window when it comes on. More Than A Feeling. I hate myself for that.
3) A song that you have a hate relationship with, meaning a song you are familiar with and CANNOT stand. This one is a tie: Hold On My Heart by Genesis, or Babe by styx. Both of them cause me physical pain.
4) A song that do NOT like from a band you DO like. Actually, let’s put that Hold on My Heart thing in this category, shall we? Interesting sidenote: because of various releases, live recordings, etc., I have no less than FIVE versions of Hold on My Heart. It’s my own personal hell.
5) A song that you love so much you would nutpunch someone for denigrating it. Easy: Memphis, Egypt by the Mekons.
Toxic by Britney
Ok… let’s see if my mind can unearth some songs from the cobwebs.
1) Mini Skirt by Esquivel
2) It’s My Life by Bon Jovi (yes, there’s shame…)
3) See below post. You Are the Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne
4) Watching the Detectives by Elvis Costello. It’s not so much the song, but rather what was going on in my life when that song was played a lot. I love Elvis, I hate this song.
5) Boy, I could pick so many… but I’m going to go way back to a childhood favorite. Classical Gas…
1) TuNe-YaRdS: Lions (probably the toughest category)
2) Kirsty MacColl: In These Shoes?
3) I don’t know. Any song by Bon Jovi?
4) The Smiths: Hand in Glove
5) The Stone Roses: I Am the Resurrection
K- we need ALL 5 categories.
1) Money-KMFDM
2) We’ll go with the ideal- Sussudio- The Phil, tied with Never Let You Go “Third Eye Blind”
3) Brown Eyed Girl-Van Morisson- I would murder this song
4) The Jessica Numbers, New Pornographers
5) The Boy with the Arab Strap, Belle and Sebastian or Ocean Rain, Echo and the Bunnyment or Since K Got Over Me, Clientele. I will pick one of these.
Maybe Toxic fits all 5 categories for K?!
I think I need my ipod b4 I can answer these Qs. I FEEL THE PRESSURE
1) Yes – Heart of the Sunrise
2) Dexys Midnight Runners – Come On Eileen
3) Greg Allman – I’m No Angel
4) Radiohead – We Suck Young Blood
5) The Shins – Pressed In A Book
1.) Er Es Tu by Mocedades
2.) Somewhere in the Night by Barry Manilow
3.) Semi Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind – I swear, this song has been in my head when I get up in the morning every day for YEARS ARRGGHHH
4.) Nighttime at the switching yard – Warren Zevon. The only bad song on Excitable Boy, and man, is it ever bad.
5.) Tie. Used to bad News by Boston and Little Suzi by Tesla
I’m in!
mikey
Er Es Tu?!?
Now there’s one I haven’t thought of in eons.
I can’t wait to program this bad boy- I will wait until we have a few more. This station is going to be NUTS.
Mandos, where are you?
1) Cake (on principle), I Will Survive
2) Jamiroquai, Canned Heat
3) Frank Zappa, Muffin Man
4) ELO, Turn to Stone
5) Marvin Gaye, Got To Give It Up
Turn to Stone, El? I am so disappointed.
It’s personal, Pinko. There was a time when El’s freshness was in question and someone suggested he had turned to stone. It became a joke that was too much to bear. El would like the song if they would change the lyrics, perhaps turning to sponge, but so far they haven’t.
I am so going to “And Aubery Was Her Name” your collective bums that you won’t be able to look at sugar for a year for fear of diabetic comas…
1. Heroin The Velvet Underground
2. Welcome to the Jungle- Guns ‘n Roses
3. I wish I did not know S.O.S. by Abba
4. Going Mobile -The Who. WTF! I know that there was stuff left over from the Lighthouse project but, really.
5. Ziggy Stardust- David Bowie
I love how the merest of mentions of ABBA’s “S.O.S.” gets in your head- like the eventual nanobot infestation of the Instapundidroid.
you won’t be able to look at sugar for a year for fear of diabetic comas…
Bring it.
Oh! Going Mobile is a good one for that category! Also, I had a brain cramp and for a brief moment could not come up with the tune for SOS. I did a really stupid thing and thought of it until it came to me. Of course now it won’t go away.
I have a song for catergory #6:
song that you know is completely overplayed but you still love and can listen to over and over again anyway:
Mr. Brightside – The Killers
I love this!!!! But, I am feeling major blog pop quiz anxiety.
I must copy and paste your criteria into another document, study them and ponder.
I shall be back!
@ Jennifer that is a terrible thing.
“Now, why do I hate that song?”
“OH GOD NOW I REMEMBER!!!”
When I were a lad, the radio thrashed “I Don’t Like Monday” into the ground, buried it and jumped on the grave. I still love it, however and would put it into #6 if such a category existed outside of Cranberry Vodka glasses. I’m just sayin’
Fucking Radios, How Do They Work?
~
They don’t work by crossing the Eff bomb line!
1) The Pharcyde – Ya mamma
2) Princess Superstar – Ghostbusters remix
3) Journey – Don’t stop believin’
4) Fatboy Slim – F*cking in Heaven
4a) The Monsieur Oizo mashup involving same
5) K-os – Man I used to be
(I am so mainstream. But in an ironic way)
6) Totally agree with Kathleen
OK, OK, I was at BG. I’ll take a BG break from rampant posting about Sorkinitis. This being Pandora I won’t break out the classical/opera stuff since they didn’t handle it well, last I checked.
1. “Ariadne (The Dividing Sea)” by Sleepthief.
2. Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn”
3. “This Kiss” by Faith Hill. Consider: this.
4. Nelly Furtado “Promiscuous”
5. Either Linkin Park “What I’ve done” (YES I AM DELIBERATELY TROLLING PINKO!!!1!!1!!!) or “Truly” by Delerium.
Actually, I’ve been pretty much on a 2 year Sleepthief continuous repetitive binge so you can put Sleepthief’s entire oeuvre under 1, except for “A Cut From the Fight” and “The Metro”, which should go under 5, and “Labyrinthine Heart” which should go under 4, about the only place where Justin Elswick has fallen down so far, except he doesnt’t think so since he named an entire album after it.
MenD- they didn’t have that PS song- I also tried Armand Van Helden’s Koochy, which is kind of that exact genre, but not either. I also tried “Goes Busters” and the other guy on the track. They had those guys as artists but not tracks, so I was nervous about overweighting by picking any artists. Also, they had “Fatboy Slim is F*cking in Heaven” but listed the Avalanches as the artist.
Mandos, the had your band but not all the tracks. They had “The Metro” so I used that instead of Ariadne.
Do not give up on me! Stuff like this takes me a little time. I must get it right! I’ve already figured out one…
1) Public Enemy, Live and Undrugged
2) Foreigner, Jukebox Hero.
3) Weezer, Undone.
4) U2, Babyface
5) Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the Devil
6) Dirty Heads, Lay Me Down
Oh is it simmering with badness!
It would be funny if it turned out to be something decent and listenable to everyone.
Best. Idea. Ever.
1) A song you love but you KNOW is definitely not for everyone.
“Heat of the Moment,” Asia
2) A song you are embarrassed about loving so you will roll up the car window when it comes on.
“That’s What You Get,” Paramore
3) A song that you have a hate relationship with, meaning a song you are familiar with and CANNOT stand.
“Personal Jeus,” Depeche Mode
4) A song that do NOT like from a band you DO like.
“The Crunge,” Led Zeppelin
5) A song that you love so much you would nutpunch someone for denigrating it.
“You Make My Dreams” Hall & Oates
6) A song that you know is completely overplayed but you still love and can listen to over and over again anyway.
“Bohemian Rhapsody,” Queen
ok this is the best I can do. As soon as I submit I’ll want to change it all.
1) A song you love but you KNOW is definitely not for everyone.
Poison, Bel Biv Devoe
2) A song you are embarrassed about loving so you will roll up the car window when it comes on.
Toxic, Britney
3) A song that you have a hate relationship with, meaning a song you are familiar with and CANNOT stand.
Friday I’m In Love by The Cure
4) A song that do NOT like from a band you DO like.
So Fresh and So Clean, Outkast
5) A song that you love so much you would nutpunch someone for denigrating it.
Last Goodbye, Jeff Buckley
6) A song that you know is completely overplayed but you still love and can listen to over and over again anyway.
the afore-mentioned Mr. Brightside
Are we getting a 6th here? Then my #6 is “I will survive” by Gloria Gaynor.
I veto Mandos’ 6 because we have the Cake version already, and Kathleens 6 I feel the opposite about- if that song was taken away from the Earth by aliens and people would be electroshocked if they tried to play it, I would be in no danger of voltage.
BG!!!!!! Get on the bus!
3 votes for #6
You didn’t like that #6, did you? Then Train’s “Hey Soul Sister.”
Oops, I did not do a #6. There are so many, but I’ll have to go with my current one. The Temper Trap, Sweet Disposition.
And I agree with Kathleen, I’d like to change all answers now, and then again tomorrow… except for You Are the Best Thing. I will always HATE it and the horns it rode in on.
my #6 is “Don’t Fear The Reaper”
There. That oughta mess it ALL up.
That song came out around the same time I took my first French class. I always thought they were singing, “Don’t fear le rideau”. I never knew what was so scary about the curtain.
Well, ok, now there’s a number six?
Overplayed, but I still play the bejeezus out of it?
White Stripes. Sever Nation Army.
Let’s rock.
mikey
ooh good one mikey!
GC submits
1) “Here with Me”-Dido
2) “You’re the Inspiration”- Chicago
3) “Mony Mony”-Tommy James and the Shondells
4) “Paparazzi”-Lady Gaga
5) total nutpunch if you say bad stuff about Nina Simone’s “Here Comes the Sun”
6) “Teenage Dream”-Katy Perry (we’ll see how long this one lasts)
7) “Free Fallin”-Tom Petty
Is the 7 just because she’s GC?
It is important to admit our dark sides.
Has Blue Girl played her hand, or only offered Bret Favre like excuses? Because i think that’s the key we’re waiting for…
mikey
It is even more important to admit our DORK sides.
And I’m committed to exposing the horrors of traumatic rocknroll injury, especially to the very young.
All you can do is hold your lighter high and make that weird devil horns sign ’cause you’re stoned to beat the band…
6) “Teenage Dream”-Katy Perry (we’ll see how long this one lasts)
I’m actually not sure that I’ve even heard this one, but I admit I’ve listened to the Glee version about 47 times today. And I still just got tears in my eyes from it.
and living room cam would’ve showed me super rocking out.
I think I just hurt my pelvis.
1) The Kleptones – See (do mashups count as songs? if not it would be Start Wearing Purple – Gogol Bordello.) Also, not to be angsty but in my current circle, most of my songs are for nobody except me.
2) Vanessa Carlton – A Thousand Miles
3) Justin Timberlake – Cry Me a River
4) Queen – Miracle
5) The Clash – London Calling
6) Nena(or goldfinger) – 99 red balloons
7) I have no idea what you mean by this!
aif- songs that you know you love or used to love more, but when then come on you are all “yeah yeah, I can listen to that any time” and you end up listening to Katy Perry or Vanessa Carlton. You betray your idol for cheap thrills!
O RLY!
7) Enya – The Memory of Trees
Sorry, that’s the album name. I’m actually thinking “Anywhere Is” from The Memory of Trees.
I have no idea what #7 is for but I vote for 7 for Sabotago by the Beastie Boys
which is – of course – the spanish language version of Sabotage.
Pinko just defined #7 for aif. I think he’s stalling to give BG one laaaaast chance.
Somehow I doubt Kathleen would turn the dial from “Sabotago” to anything else. It isn’t like it gets played everyday, or even exists for that matter. And I think it is Potuguese.
Some of us might turn it to “Bad Romance” for the millionth time. This makes it a #7 to #6 combo.
Some of us might turn it to “Bad Romance” for the millionth time. This makes it a #7 to #6 combo.
Amen to that!
I HAVE NO NUMBER SEVEN.
Zombie, this is 3Bulls, just make an eighth category.
#8: Songs Brando hates.
Gotta be “The Goonies R Good Enough”
Zombie “authenticism purity” is unbecoming. Admit your shame to us all!
I wonder if Brando would have liked The Goonies had he lost his virginity while viewing…
Here’s my shame: After I finish installing Ubuntu on a Macbook, I am going to install Windows.
Although I have no idea what that has to do with this radio station thingy.
6) Pink Floyd – Wish you were here
7) Do you mean turn *off* the radio?
7) No- turn to another station thinking you’d find something else- a shameful practice- this might not be something you would do.
Something like “Oh awesome, Supertramp “The Logical Song”! I’ll come back to it if I don’t find something else. Ooooooh Rihanna “S.O.S!” *forget everything*”
I heard the piano solo for Supertramp’s School the other day. I had forgotten how much I liked it. I could do without the rest of the song, but not that solo. Perhaps that could be 8 or 9… Which song don’t you care about, but still love a portion and that portion can stand on its own??
If BG doesn’t get hers in today I will wish that she eats her own cookies. Yes, I said it!
She is killing our momentum!
Or helping it as categories get added… Of course, I did wonder if she was looking for the perfect green play-doh song.
6) Pink Floyd – Wish you were here
YES!!!
I’m having a hard time thinking of a song that fits to #7 for me. I think I’m not quite the inveterate station-changer that the 3B peeps seem to be.
Stage 1= denial
7) Led Zeppelin – Dazed and Confused
The more categories we add, though, the more exponential BG’s decision problem becomes.
I mean, I feel for BG, I do. It’s clear that she’s using an O(N^K) algorithm where N = |all songs ever recorded| and K = |questions PP throws at her|. N^5 was a pretty big number, but N^7 is unimaginable. I don’t know why she’d use an exponential algorithm when the rest of us are using polynomial or log-linear algorithms, but there you go.
You do realize, Pinko my friend, that it is only out of an abundance of love and respect that someone ELSE hasn’t already taken the publicly available selections and programmed the Pandora channel on their own, reaping the joys and benefits that surely should have accrued to you and you alone.
In a perfect world, anyway…
mikey
Ooh, veiled hostile takeover threat.
Veiled penis reference
Wait… what was 7 again? I thought 7 was 6. Did I answer 7?
ah the classic OINK algorithm…
Trimmed penis reference
Wait… what was 7 again? I thought 7 was 6. Did I answer 7?
Only if 6 was 9.
I would listen to the unabridged Matthew Wilder Box Set before listening to the Ghoonies.
So #7 is a song you intellectually like and respect but will ditch for a dirty little guilty pleasure. Mine: Wilco’s “I’m the Man Who Loves You.”
Number- fucking – 7 is it now?
Albatross- Fleetwood Mac.
As Mikey says, the crowd goes restless and fingers it’s 12 inch long combat dildos.
Look i have made the it’s mistake Hah Hah
AK unveiled penis reference
So #7 is a song you intellectually like and respect but will ditch for a dirty little guilty pleasure.
LOL! Mine might be… but I’m still not sure… King Crimson,Heartbeat.
ANd!! This is NAWT fish’s thread (implication on his manhood? fishhood?) so now H in Goonies. Pfft. But, still an H in Heartbeat.
BUT!! I may have missed the point of the last comment as I was forced to deal with troublesome tenants who asked me why we couldn’t get rid of a 150+ yr-old tree in order for his wife to park more efficiently. This came after many other crazy requests. I had drinks when I came home so all song bets may be off.
I hope cranberry vodka
I now vote “Theme song to the Flintstones” for any category I may have misconstrued. That and “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father”.
Oh no… you need to start this whole thing over with TV theme songs.
That earlier comment should have been “No H in Goonies”. Not “Now H” I blame Kathleen and bad renters.
…troublesome tenants who asked me why we couldn’t get rid of a 150+ yr-old tree in order for his wife to park more efficiently.
Are they tenants already?
Because that request would make me get nuclear on their lame pathetic asses.
~
I now vote “Theme song to the Flintstones” for any category I may have misconstrued. That and “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father”.
Another much less embarassing Brando fact: I was named after the actor who played Eddie.
Now I understand what is going on. This idea was such an awesome idea, it had a full ass. Now, it has only half of one! The natural order is restored!
I have entered all the songs except the last few and now it is a point of personal suffering that BG is ruining it. The unveiling will be tomorrow with or without BG seasoning!
Sink Lettuce and the Chumptones sing “Xmas Play-doh Wreaths and the Spiders from J’s House”
I have found not three, but FOUR shiny internet objects to occupy my pathetically short attention span while we wait for this process to come to full fruition.
I’m over in Mumbai trying to convince Pakistani Zionists not to encourage Kashmiri activists to burn cars in Srinagar.
Let me know when we can participate in this fulsome plan…
half ahss?
I’ve been distracting myself with: http://foodnetworkhumor.com/
I think I just peed in my trashcan a litte:

Oh, and I just learned that there’s going to be a movie about Justin Bieber called Never Say Never.
My 7 would be – stairway to heaven – because i could be done with the cheap thrill song and be back to hear the awesome finale.
oh crap, did i just create a cat. 9?
K- I thought it was Late Night Makin’ Bacon.
Also, looking forward to Sing Lettuce and the Chumptones.
This one is pretty hilarious too.
I think I just peed in my trashcan a litte
A little or a liter?
Since Brando has refused (or is scared of Pinko Backlash) to do so, I submit the ALL RUSH version! For Great Glue Birl Justice!
1) Subdivisions
2) Roll The Bones
3) Summertime Blues (rush cover version)
4) By-Tor and The Snow Dog.
5) YYZ
6) Tom Sawyer, natch.
7) The Trees
HAND ME THAT TRASHCAN!!
I cannot let a Rush challenge go unchallenged.
1) Love but not for everyone: Hemispheres
2) Love but roll the windows up: Time Stand Still
3) Wik: Cygnus X-1
4) Also wik: I Think I’m Going Bald
5) Nutpunch: Side 1 of Moving Pictures
6) Cannot be overplayed: Working Man
7) Like but turn the dial: Closer to the Heart
I sense a stuffing of the ballot box. Everyone that felt slighted by only having one entry can pile them up- the reveal is tonight but I will load all comers until 9 eastern, then I will post/distribute this bad boy and pain will suffice. I predict K will use her “skip” quotient on the first 3 songs and be prompted to upgrade immediately.
The mekons punknugget will throw the whole algorithm into a tizzy.
They now have an absolute skip quotient at Pandora? Tell me that it it’s still time-based.
Are battle raps on Pandora?
Well, the Rush songs would fill up every “hate” category I have…
2nd take (this is fun):
1) David Bowie, Wild is the Wind
2) A-Ha, Take on Me (although I am proud of liking the Reel Big Fish version)
3) Matthew Sweet, Girlfriend (WILL NOT LINK!!)
4) Nirvana, Heart Shaped Box
5) Sex Pistols, Pretty Vacant
6) Lyle Lovett, I’ve Been to Memphis
7) I can’t do 7
3) Matthew Sweet, Girlfriend (WILL NOT LINK!!)
That’s it. fish is off the list.
Think of it this way ZRM, now MS (and his vile auditory spawn) will pop up (unwanted in my case) on Pirate Cobag Radio (PCR, heh).
I’m actually looking forward to voting down as much as I can, assuming Pandora lets me do that. I mean, please.
Where are any of the citrus related songs? I refuse to categorize any of them. “The Lemon Song” by Led Zeppelin. “Grapefruit Moon” by Tom Waits. “Angel Eyes” by Lime. The world is full of excellent citrus music, but as usual you are all biased against Hesperide-Americans.
Here’s one for Citrus Lover.
Vile auditory spawn indeed (I see what you do there FISH). Well, mayhaps I will do an all-power pop version too. And then maybe I won’t. Maybe I will just pour another glass of wine. Yes, that seems more likely.
Well, since fish and I are of the same mind on so many things, I can’t hold this one thing against him mistaken though he may be!! I forgive you fish!!! Huggzors!!!
Hey, did anybody get B^4s input on this? As a Zombudspants-in-exile, I demand that we delay the rollout until we have some Bastard input!! I mean, a Bastard other than me!!
kisses ZRM
I think delaying any longer might just push Pinko over the edge.
That presupposes Pinko is not already over the edge. He does, after all, live in Tejas.
Anywhoo, a ZOMBUDSPANTS WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS has sent a digital call to arms to our Bald New York brethren. we shall see what we shall see.
Scrabble, anyone? Or perhaps Apples to Apples?

You should play with Young Zombie, the Lamblets, and Snag’s brood. It goes all LOrd Of The Flies by the second round. They would eat you and mount your head on a stick.
Conversely, they’d be like popcorn shrimp to my insatiable maw.
Bananagrams
Hey now, let’s not be all putting peeps heads onna stick. someone will get hurt.
What about some Barry White in the mixture to get the lurve juices aflowing.
Also: just pretend that I don’t know what Pandora is and how I would listen to it and try to tell me. Ha ha as if that was true!!
You should play with Young Zombie, the Lamblets, and Snag’s brood. It goes all LOrd Of The Flies by the second round. They would eat you and mount your head on a stick.
True. I think the night before was even funnier. Von, MenD, the lamblets and I decided to include some very special blog cards of our own. There was one that was often used. It consisted of two letters.
Conversely, they’d be like popcorn shrimp to my insatiable maw.
Young Zombie is nearly as tall as I am. Unless you can unhinge your jaw like four feet, and you are the first part of a Human Centipede, you are SOL.
I can tell Pinko is out in the yard, yelling at the neighbor’s trucks-up-on-blocks about how nobody can respond to a simple blog request, while kicking at the dirt and rocks….
I now have these lyrics going through my head…
Thanks Kathleen!!
Hello Daddy, hello Mom
I’m your p p p p p panty bomb
Hello world I’m your wild girl
I’m your p p p p p panty bomb
I can tell Pinko is out in the yard, yelling at the neighbor’s trucks-up-on-blocks about how nobody can respond to a simple blog request, while kicking at the dirt and rocks….
LOL! Yes, but he should be happy at the number of comments.
I wonder what heinous song is wafting out of the neighbor’s pickup truck as he yells at it… maybe some Lee Greenwood?
Nope. Not gonna do it.
Not gonna think up a seven. Not gonna pretend I understand the parameters for seven. Not gonna provide and eight, send down a nine or holla out a ten.
I played. I followed the fucking rules. I did the things demanded of me, in expectation that the result would be entertaining, amusing or at least PROVIDED to me in something approximating real time.
Now, it’s a long, dusty walk over here to the bulls, and I’m tired and thirsty. And still, no link to a pandora station comprised of music generated by the original (and arguably brilliant) input parameters. I’m going to the Sailor Jerry’s, I’m gonna get deep into that foul stuff and I’m even willing to let Matt Millen tell me what he thinks about American Football…
mikey
I forgot Pinko was in another time zone and waited here reloading the page. Oh, well, time to go get some groceries.
1) Richard X mashup of “Freak Like Me” and “Are Friend’s Electric”

Dream Theatre
it is 34 minutes long
YES. YES. THE PAIN- You have a gigantic block of PROG. Please tell me how you enjoy the guitar-keyboard-bass trio where they play essentially solos together.
THIS SONG IS STILL NOT OVER
I know. I KNOW.
I am dying. I think I will go run a mile. Or go through the motions of finding my jogging stuff and giving up. You will still be here.
Does it feel like the space shuttle blowing up in your heart?
I think I blacked out for a while in the middle
You were like St. Theresa being touched by the holy spirit of Petrucci’s godlike guitar hand.

Jennifer, anyone who doesn’t love a Love Rollercoaster ain’t no friend of mine.
1. Viva la Vida by Coldplay
Mandos is dead to me.
Owl City is a BILLION times worse than the Coldplay. Do you know what this will do to the station when I enter it. It will make all the work we have done to improve it revert back to baseline of ass. I guess I approve, but if I hear Owl City I will probably rampage.
For about a month or so I would obsessively load and reload the YouTube of the Owl City Fireflies video especially because I loved the speak’n'spell in it, and I love the song too. But I overplayed it and that’s why it’s a #7.
Mandos, NOOOOOOOO!O!!!!O!O!O!!!!!!!
Sorry, can’t help it. I like music that isn’t grating and has lots of complex harmonious layers. Fireflies pretty much epitomized that.
Also, you know, the song was basically about my childhood.
Oh, turns out that Pandora does do classical now. I missed an opportunity. Well, maybe later.
Don’t be mean to Cold Play!!!
Mandos Poison Pill has just been entered, except Sleepthief track was not recognized.

Marquee Moon IS for everybody. People who don’t like Marquee Moon are more likely Pleaidian Reptiloids on this planet to conspire with Obama.
Surrender – SIMPLY AWESOME.
Let’s not get started with the Oingo Boingo thing. It MAY be allowable on the basis that Elfman’s movie soundtracks have became intolerable in direct proportion to their omnipresence.
Legal representation will NOT be allowed.
But I don’t like that song, but Pandora things I do, which means it may play Oingo Boingo songs I LIKE, like Stay, Home Again, Private Life, and Weird Science OOOH my creation
You have obviously been eating too many chocolate skittles.
I am so angry that I am so late to this party. I am also angry that fulsome is no doubt even later to this party. But I now have access to the Cobagitation Station.
And The Misfits are coming with me!
