you guys are wild with the YKTR. maybe i need to revisit? I think i tried a few times but couldn't.

Great picks!! It's tough to find even a single song I wouldn't keep from the first 4 albums. I would add a separate corner just for b-sides and unreleased. Can't live without any of these: Sister Janet Alamo Cooling Cool On Your Island Never Seen Blue Honey Purple People Upside Down Beulah Land Etienne Bachelorette Here In My Head Song For Eric Merman Abbey Road Siren Cool On Your Island and Etienne are pretty unlistenable on YKTR but sublime live And some essential covers (this is perhaps a whole other 10-disc collection): A Case of You Daniel Angie Thank You I’m On Fire

Your Girl vs Wild One

West Coast vs Angels Forever

Black Bathing Suit vs Chemtrails

the song on the radio on the way home from Monster Jam

Yosemite vs Oh Say Can You See

Honeymoon vs Arcadia

Todd's prob I think is that he doesn't know what it is to LIVE for Madonna or Katy or whoever . He's not coming from that place. He mentioned Lana once in a trashing of DCMA, but he was defending her sorta

I feel like the Prism thing was cuz he needed an angle that was diff than everyone else's review - like, "no guys, she actually lost her edge on Prism!" i did like the idea that Witness actually accomplished its goal of humanizing her, just oops not in the way she planned.

I love Todd and this is one of his very best. A bit mean in the end and I found myself wanting to protect and defend Katy, but still completely riveting.

Bitch I'm Lanita

Personally I find participation in the kanye marilyn julia mess to be disqualifying, but if we're gonna do it, my optimum Donoghue outcome: they are not dating, but are special friends who get one another he has been producing LDR9 it's a synth-heavy, beat-heavy, psychedelic BB dreamscape the album is done and it is entitled Del Norte County after release he is free to go

For the City That Nearly Broke Me is already a known poem: https://poets.org/poem/city-nearly-broke-me For the City that Nearly Broke Me Reginald Dwayne Betts A woman tattoos Malik’s name above her breast & talks about the conspiracy to destroy blacks. This is all a fancy way to say that someone kirked out, emptied five or six or seven shots into a still warm body. No indictment follows Malik’s death, follows smoke running from a fired pistol. An old quarrel: crimson against concrete & the officer’s gun still smoking. Someone says the people need to stand up, that the system’s a glass house falling on only a few heads. This & the stop snitching ads are the conundrum and damn all that blood. All those closed eyes imagining Malik’s killer forever coffled to a series of cells, & you almost believe them, you do, except the cognac in your hand is an old habit, a toast to friends buried before the daybreak of their old age. You know the truth of the talking, of the quarrels & how history lets the blamed go blameless for the blood that flows black in the street; you imagine there is a riot going on, & someone is tossing a trash can through Sal’s window calling that revolution, while behind us cell doors keep clanking closed, & Malik’s casket door clanks closed, & the bodies that roll off the block & into the prisons and into the ground, keep rolling, & no one will admit that this is the way America strangles itself.

Black Beauty vs Black Beauty (demo)

Get Free vs White Dress

it seems like she's really been rising out of that period. crazy tho to think that she has basically had back-to-back-to-back releases and tours and eras all the way back to 1992, and then it was like 10 years of playing for tips in hotel lobbies before that

I haven't really been keeping up with the newer music, but I'm feeling really warmly toward her, and am really glad she is still going out there and delivering!

Amazing! Set list - totally. If you go to 2 - 3 nights you can get like 50 songs! Do you like your seats?

This is What Makes Us Girls vs Yes To Heaven (Honeymoon Version)

Sad Girl vs Gods & Monsters
