What a grandiose ending to a magnificent album. Fun fact: the “Nobody Likes You” segment is what kicked off the American Idiot sessions. Bassist Mike Dirnt was by himself in the studio waiting for his band mates to come back. The others wrote segments of their own and that inspired the medleys for Homecoming and Jesus of Suburbia. I love that they’ve started playing this live again.
The Beach Boys Love You is an incredible work of 70’s pop that is ground breaking, forward looking, highly personal, and yes, very weird. Listen to it then watch this if you want to learn more.
My favorite tracks are Mona, Ding Dang, Good Time, The Night Was So Young, I’ll Bet He’s Nice, and Airplane.
Brian Wilson is a complex artist and man. He didn’t always color in the lines of good taste or appropriateness but at it’s best his music touches into the very soul of what it means to be a person in the world: all the crazy highs and lows you can go through.
Any time drummer Tré Cool takes the stage at a Green Day show, you’re in for a treat. Dominated Love Slave is his signature, but there’s also Like a Rat Does Cheese which is unreleased and All By Myself closes Dookie.

Van Halen was always my dad’s favorite band so I ate up A Different Kind of Truth when it came out. I was in college at the time and loved this track from first listen.
My best (stupid) guess is weapons. US gov has a ton of weapons. Already sells tons of weapons. Now the prices will always remain stable. Other countries would love to know that 30 million usd would always be able to buy an f15. Other countries declaring war will increase the value of the USD, as buying weapons from us government...
I dunno, after playing the opening sequence of Spider-Man 2 I thought “oh there’s no way they could do this on a PS4”. The graphics are just insane. Gameplay? Sure, nothing spectacularly out of range of the previous gen. But that came out late last year so it definitely feels like we’re just starting to get there.
I’m trying to download, archive, and upscale as much older Australian TV content as I can, and would love to see what other people watched or enjoyed so I can try to preserve it as well.
