Fan of music, cargo bikes, the #EastBay, and humor. Not a fan of the seemingly inexorable slide into fascism. #ShoupPilled. Follow me if you want to have far too many song-a-day #MusicChallenge posts sliding into your timeline.
@atcl.bsky.social PinnedAs we pay our final respects to the covered artists during the final day of #5CoverSongsTribute, my co-hosts and I invite you to join us next month for #5CoverSongsOdds. You don't have to be odd to participate (but it helps!), just prep some cover songs that reference odd numbers.

Day 8 - “Ineptitude,” from The Betrayed Confidence
“How to Embrace a Swamp Creature,” The Mountain Goats

Hard to choose just one lyric from a song all about ineptitude, but the chorus works: “I’m out of my element, I can’t breathe.”

I am simply not going to even check and see just how many people used this for this illustrated prompt. I AM ORIGINAL AND REFUSE TO CONSIDER OTHERWISE!
@atcl.bsky.socialI’m very happy being a one-minivan, one-cargo bike household, but sometimes I miss that versatile little bastard.
@atcl.bsky.socialIt’s called Vibe-based automaking
@atcl.bsky.socialAh yes, the TIHIBAYE button Thanks I Hate It But Appreciate Your Expertise
@atcl.bsky.social“I mean, I asked if they had a hattery they worked with for special orders or something, and the lady just kept saying, ‘We don’t have anything larger than Size 8.”
@atcl.bsky.socialI like how your “claims” all need to be backed up by data, but OP can apparently float wild conspiracy theories with no evidence.
@atcl.bsky.socialTFW the music is right and everybody starts to lose control.
@atcl.bsky.socialI love* that the ceiling dancing is played straight and never explained. I guess the party is so hot that the laws of physics are literally breaking down? The video leads me to believe this is not a metaphor! *I'm about 80% sure I love this, but 20% chance I actually hate it
@atcl.bsky.social*(I did not search for any evidence one way of the other.)

Day 6 - “I Saw Dracula” - from Edward Gorey’s 'Dracula'
"I Thought I Saw Your Face Today," She & Him

There's no evidence Zooey was singing about Dracula here, but neither is there evidence she *wasn't* singing about Dracula.
@atcl.bsky.socialI, too, think this is right having watched the clip. And, let's not forget, the crowd ATE IT UP.
@atcl.bsky.socialThis is often paraphrased to simply, "If only we'd stop trying to be happy, we could have a pretty good time," but Wharton never actually wrote that. We strive for accuracy here at Read & Play!
