Is it me or is this Mates of State cover of I Will Dare really not good?

And I even like the Mates of State.

Video Tuesday: (on Sunday) A Song For Paul Westerberg

Sometimes I feel guilty that this poor site has been dormant for about 38 web-years (or two months in human years). So I was sitting here thinking, I should put some stuff here something, anything. I went to YouTube and I found this. The title (A Song for Paul Westerberg) was not the main reason I post it here. No, it’s the shelf there with Spider-man’s arm around Ernie. That’s why! Enjoy.

Join me in listening to ‘Whatever Makes You Happy’ on repeat today

I’m in pouty mcpout pout mode because I didn’t get into a writing program I wanted to get into. For some reason whenever I’m all sad and mopey, I turn to this song (that’s only after The Smiths start to annoy me, and frankly, let’s be real that takes roughly 11 minutes).

I think it’s the line, “now whatever makes you happy, I’m pretty sure it isn’t me.” Slays me every.single.time.
