Hey, that's not true. Sometimes I like to eat some edibles after a long day of smoking

Connection: dark, apathetic hedonism verging on nihilism

As an aside, "God never makes mistakes, he just makes fuck ups" is one is the better song lyrics written in the last decade, IMHO

The next four years would be nice, but I'll settle for two

Afaik, they're still around, but inflation and popularity has caused the prices to increase a fair bit.

One of my best Goodwill finds ever was a near-mint Steam controller for 10$ to replace the one that the kids dropped playing LEGO Marvel. Honestly, it was a gift from the heavens and I absolutely will buy at least two on Day 1 because Valve hardware is always fucking great.

"Backpacking" can also mean couch surfing and staying in hostels or on park benches. In the early 2000's, it was a really popular way to travel across Europe (at least among rich white college kids)

I wouldn't have characterized The Princess and the Frog that way. In that movie, the protagonists learn to be happy despite being frogs, not because they are frogs. Being frogs throws them together and forces them to get to know one another, but their happy ending comes once they become human again (and the point of the movie is about working tirelessly to achieve their dreams, not removing themselves from society)

Edit: why yes, I do have small children and spend far too much time analyzing the themes of animated movies; why do you ask?

 

Connection: "Something wrong...chemically"

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

Connection: from "Octopus's Garden" I thought of the movie Garden State, the soundtrack of which had this song.

As an aside, this soundtrack was immensely influential for my 18yo self and other young, pretentious college students around the same age. For the most part, I think it holds up as a pretty great soundtrack to this day

And when you're on the edge of addiction, you get "anxiety about whether I'm addicted" as a new unlockable!

 

Connection: songs about cocaine

 

Type O Negative is the quintessential goth metal band and "Love You To Death" is one of my favorite Type O Negative songs

Aladdin is right up there, too

Agreed. There is still strategy, but it comes in picking the suit and the bidding.

It helped that I learned it with my wife from our two best friends that had no one else to play with in our city, and we mostly just hung out and cooked and drank and played cards our whole way through grad school

 

Female-fronted old school hip-hop, just like Missy Elliot. Although I have to say the presence of Spinderella really elevates this cut.

 

More old school East Coast hip-hop, plus the word "hooligan" in the lyrics

 

Another song about The Wild Hunt

Connection: "Good"

††† is a side project from Chino Moreno (of the Deftones), and I absolutely adore this cover

 

You better leave my vibe alone

From one iconic bassist singing about a movie to another iconic bassist in a movie

 

Connection: They Might Be Giants

I honestly had a hard time picking one TMBG song as they have so many great jams. Honorable mentions include "Birdhouse in your Soul" and "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)"
