Digg this storyso, i have compiled a gigantic playlist of songs that would
be amazing to listen to on the jukebox in a shitty dive bar, while drinking pitchers of shitty beer. nevermind that most of these songs aren’t even available on most jukeboxes; i think you get the idea of the vibe i’m going for. think acousticy/ballad type stuff that makes everyone else want to kill themselves that sounds so so so amazing at 1 a.m.
i know i am missing a bunch, so if you can think of any amazing stuff that fits the vibe here, let me know. notably, neil young (i can never remember the names of the songs by him i like). i also need more guided by voices (also always forget the names of my favorite pollard songs (there’s so damn many)). and bright eyes. as much as i have tried to hate them over the years, i still admit that there are some bright eyes songs i really like. there’s an amazing fugazi (“epic problem” maybe? i think it was off the argument, but i have no fugazi albums here at work to check) and possibly some les savy fav songs that would also fit in well here, but i absolutely cannot remember the names of them. some older beck, rocky votalato, chuck ragan, jim white, the mountain goats, m. ward (shit, i really need to start remembering song names), etc. etc…. and, any oldies i don’t have listed?
