The Mountain Goats – Broom People

The Village — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:33:08 +0000

There is a line in the song Stay Positive by the Hold Steady that goes “There’s gonna come a time when the true scene leaders forget where they differ and get big picture ‘cause the kids at the shows, they’ll have kids of their own and the sing-along songs will be our scriptures.”

I’m old enough that this is happening now.

In light of that, I’m going to spend the rest of the year highlighting our scriptures.

New Testament.

Not all of these are going to be super fun jams, but that doesn’t mean they are not sing-along songs. I love this song, and depending on my mood, it can get to me pretty hard.

I’ll admit that “This Year” is probably the more obvious choice, but if I’m making this whole thing pseudo-religious, This Year is a Sunday School song.

There will probably be more Mountain Goats in this series.

Slapstick – There’s a Metal Head in the Parking Lot

In light of that, I’m going to spend the rest of the year highlighting our scriptures.

Old Testament.

For me, Slapstick is right up there with OPIV, a complete classic that I overplayed during “the ska years.” Every song from 25 songs is a sing-along classic, but the intro to “There is a Metalhead in the Parking Lot” just makes me feel good.

Ramones – Judy Is a Punk

Judy is a Punk by the Ramones is some Genesis 1:1 stuff.
