Day 1: A song by a band you wish was still together (not broken up by death)

Panic! at the Disco was originally a pop band consisting of friends Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith, Brent Wilson, and Brendon Urie. One by one they left the band, until 2015 when Panic! became Urie's solo project. He continues under that name, but they haven't been a band for almost a decade. And I miss them.

This is Panic! at their best, dealing with dark topics through pop sensibilities. As analogies go, this is one of the most dark and vitriolic that I have seen, with the singer wanting to keep away from his ex, but unable to do so.

"I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you
So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do

Yeah, you're worse than nicotine..."

Urie's solo work doesn't scratch the level of obsession and theatricality they did as a band.

"Nicotine," Panic! at the Disco.

Apropos of nothing, when I got to name a network room at work, I called it "Panic! at the Cisco "

Baba O'Reilly - The Who

This is just one of those songs… so fucking good

Day 30; A song from your favorite band

As so many others have said, it is very difficult to choose a favorite artist. I chose this song because it shows off some of the range of Elvis. This isn't the edgy rebel rocker, this sounds like you walked into a smokey lounge in a sketchy neighborhood.

I found his music through you posting him! One of the best parts of this thread. Great song—he’s such a good lyricist imo

Am I paranoid
Or am I just stoned?”

Answering for myself…

But I haven't met you”

Day 2: A song with punctuation in the title

Not necessarily my favorite song, but it definitely has punctuation in the title, and maybe my favorite punctuation, as it gets mentioned in my Lit profile.

"Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?"

I do, Vampire Weekend. I do.

"Oxford Comma," Vampire Weekend

(Through the pain, I always tell the truth)

Julia Jacklin - to Perth, before the border closes​

JJ does aching yearning and loss brilliantly. Saw her live a couple of weeks ago, playing solo in a London theatre and this was wonderful.

"Directed by Richard Ayoade". Huh! A man of many talents

He has directed two of their videos. I go down an Ayoade rabbit hole on youtube a lot. He is hilarious.

I am breaking the rules to allow myself two songs today since the October list wasn’t published until Day #2 my time.

So …

Day 1: A song by a band you wish was still together (not broken up by death)

I’m a big White Stripes fan and was disappointed when Jack and Meg called it quits. This is one of my favourites.

Ball and Biscuit - The White Stripes

Day 2: A song with punctuation in the title

A full stop counts as punctuation, right? So here’s something completely different. Turn up da bass.

Mr. Miyagi - Sub Antix

Apostrophes and an ampersand? Absolutely. Besides, it's the Beasties are their misogynistic, bratty beginning.

Day 2: A song with punctuation in the title

I don't think I've ever posted an Ed Sheeran song. First time for everything. I don't like his slow songs, but his fast paced songs are so good. Also, watching him sing this song live was pretty fucking awesome.

(There is a comma in there lol.)

You Need Me, I Don't Need You - Ed Sheeran

You are correct sir!

Day 2: A song with punctuation in the title

This is the first song that came to mind. I am super busy today and on a business trip, so I’m hoping it qualifies.

The Hives - Die, All Right!

I haven't played in a while. Today seems like a good day to return

Day 1: A song by a band you wish was still together (not broken up by death)

I think death may prevent them from re-forming (well, and the various lawsuits over the use of the name), but my vote goes to the Guess Who with Randy Bachman on guitar and Burton Cummings peeling paint with his voice., Jima Kale on Bass and Gary Peterson on drums.
