Is it a universal truth that "Roadrunner" is on the shortlist of greatest songs ever written? I think so.

You cannot "think" something is a universal truth.  It either is or it isn't.  It is.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Ian Dury and The Blockheads - Do It Yourself.

For me there's not a bad song on it although I do believe the man himself never liked Uneasy Sunny Day Hotsy Totsy.

I'm also eating olives.  How European!
I'm not asking you to 'think outside the box'.  I just wish that once in a while you'd have a rummage around inside it.

Parquet Courts- Stoned and Starving.

Definitely the best song about smoking pot and going to a convenient store.

Just a quick PS on 'Do It Yourself'.

While certainly a great LP I was listening yesterday on my I-pod (My-Pod).  I still own the original vinyl but don't have a record player anymore.

I know it's a familiar trope but I used to know every crackle and pop on that record.  If you played me the 'silence' in between the tracks I'd be able to tell you what was coming on next just from the various scratches that had accumulated after years of use.  Digital's killed all that.  A true loss.  Need to buy a record player.

Mind you, on the other hand after I listened to DIY I moved to 3 Feet High and Rising which I only ever owned on tape.

Thank Christ for CD's.

I would buy records and then record them to tape for the car. So I missed out on the whole crackling thing.

Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Postal Service "Give Up". For the first time ever (although it probably played on the in-store music many times at Amoeba when I worked there). I get it. Finally.

Motorpsycho. A band who I truly believe would have been regarded as one of the all time greats if they were American or English and produced the same discography.
