Mal ,'Bushwhacked'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Easy – “Gary’s got a Boner” by the Replacements.
A friend of a friend loves that song. She liked to talk about "the pathos of 'Gary's got a Boner.'" Using "pathos" to describe that song just cracks me up.
Forgive me if someone’s already brought them up, but the new Snow Patrol is my favorite album in the world right now. Tom, I know you would love it. Kind of Ride/MyBloody Valentine like stuff.
Sounds cool.
Least favorite song by a favorite artist/band?
All skits on every hip-hop album ever.
Oh my God yes.
And the Riobot gets it in one! With an Amen from Angus.
Tommyrot, I think your friend meant "bathos." It's easy to get them mixed up.
I need a song ID. The group is "Bowling for Soup." The song is something about "Back in 1985" and is about being stuck in the 80s. Help?
Bowling For Soup has a website. (it's uh...bowlingforsoup.com) Looks like the song is called "1985" - they have the video on their site.
All skits on every hip-hop album ever.
Wait - even the first De La Soul?
Thanks Hec. And that explains why I haven't been able to buy the song - not yet released.
How about a little good news?
Ganked from SFGate:

Sally Timms,
In the World of Him
(Touch & Go). The longtime Mekons vocalist (the Dusty Springfield of political country punk) finally follows up her dreamy 1999 release Cowboy Sally's Twilight Laments for Lost Buckaroos.
There is a little piece in EW with Robyn Hitchcock. On page 12 of the issue with Julia Roberts on the cover.
