finally! a post that offers some insight into the eccentrically eclectic music tastes of yours truly

www.holytaco.com recently listed the 14 songs you should never play from a bar. judging from the excellence of the list, it is safe to say the author probably has never experienced a bar. the list is

14. "All I Wanna Do" Sheryl Crow (okay, he can get away with that one)
13. "Mr. Brightside" The Killers (ABSOLUTELY WRONG. one of the best group sing-a-longs for this generation. the author even goes on to say that it's only played by the wannabe hipster. wrong again)
12. "It's the End of the World as We Know It" R.E.M.
11. "Dancing Queen" ABBA
10. "Sweet Home Alabama" Lynyrd Skynyrd
9. "Don't Stop Believing" Journey. (uh....no. truly, one of the few songs that everyone knows the lyrics to)
8. "Smooth" Santana and Rob Thomas (meh)
7. "Hotel California" The Eagles
6. "I Will Survive" Gloria Gaynor
5. "Paradise By The Flashboard Light" Meatloaf
4. "Bawitdaba" Kid Rock
3. anything by the Beatles. (HAH! Beatle music and bars belong together like baking soda and vineagar)
2. "Piano Man" Billy Joel. (I think this song didn't make my generation. but a lot of older people know - and love - it)
1. "American Pie" Don McLean

sheesh. that is a pretty harsh list. while some of those songs deserve to be on the list (Kid Rock), most of these are actually just fine to play at bars. they allow you for some good bar bonding time, albeit superficially. therefore, you can find the courage to talk to the cute stranger screaming "DON'T! STOP! BELIEVING!" with "Journey is the BEST BAND EVER!!!"

continuing, I feel like I'm mired in mediocrity right now. it's summer, which is awesome, but everything has boiled down to a routine
