Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (2 Viewers)

Earlier today, I filtered some data on the google sheet by category and then couldn't get it undone.  I had a minute or two of panic that I had ruined 2 years worth of data.  Luckily I was just being dumb - otherwise I might have just disappeared from fbg for good.

If that ever happens, click on the three dots in the upper right corner, then click on the thing that looks like a martini glass to remove filter(s).

Yeah, was probably just residual trauma from 20-plus years ago when I forgot a semi-colon at the end of a SAS data-step* and ended up erasing a few million observations from our mainframe.  The guy who had to rebuild the dataset was shockingly chill about the whole thing.

* sorry for the nerd speak

I have no idea what any of that means, but I can understand how terrible accidentally erasing data must be.

The "Undo" button has been a godsend for me over the years.

😀  I've messed up a google sheet before in the past. It wasn't bad damage, but something that had to be corrected by someone else. It seems like I screwed up some coordinated colors or something. I try just to use the ctrl f button, and that's it. Not in this draft, but in the past there was some bandit that blew up a google sheet or two on purpose.

It's pretty easy to revert recent changes if necessary.

 
Round 591:

A. Songs About Southern California

When the Sh!t Hits the Fan / Sunset Blvd. -- Todd Rundgren

Wouldn't YOU want to retreat to Sunset Blvd. when things get out of hand?

B. Songs That Make You Cry

Vein of Stars -- The Flaming Lips

I have no idea why this keening, philosophical song has the effect on me that it does. But when I saw the Flaming Lips at Red Rocks in 2006 (on a bill with Ween), I started absolutely bawling when they played this.

I was high as balls at the time. 

 
Another category idea, Songs about Cars. Not road trip/driving but actual songs about cars. We can probably workshop a better name.

Round 591

Touch A Hand (Make a Friend) - The Staple Singers   (Mantra)

and 

I used to feel a bit uncomfortable around elderly strangers with not really knowing what to say to them. My grandmother had to go in a nursing home after she injured herself, and my mom could no longer take care of her. She was there for 6 years. I hated she had to go there. My mom saw her every day, and I saw her usually three times a week, and more if my mom went out of town. It wasn't long before I became very comfortable around these old folks. I advocated for them (you have to in those places), brought them things they liked, and I looked forward to seeing them and interacting with them (even Fannie aka Lou who was mean as a snake). The experience changed me towards old folks. Some of them have nobody that comes to see them, and they are just waiting around to die. They get attached to the aides, but there is always a turnstile of them, and so that relationship never last long. It makes them so happy to have a constant "friend" while there. I know if we didn't go see Maw Maw all the time, she would have died of loneliness long before she eventually did pass. Anyway, this song makes me cry.

Hello In There - John Prine  (songs that make you cry)    Spotify

Speaking of being high, did you supply your cat with any catnip while at the Cape? Did he enjoy the trip? What is his name? How are his eyes doing?
Click to expand...
His name is Cassidy. He gets a sedative as part of his medication regimen. Initially twice a day, now once a day before bed. He was very good in the car. Did not howl or pee or poop or vomit. Mostly slept. His eyes are doing much better. For a few days his right eye was producing more clear liquid than we expected. The vet said he didn't think anything major was going on given the pics we supplied, but he wouldn't know for sure unless he could see him in person, so the follow-up visit was moved up from 7/25 to 7/18. The last few days there is less discharge from his eyes and they seem improved.

Song is fine, it's never been picked. I searched "Isley" and those other two came up. I might have taken you at face value if I hadn't vaguely remembered picking them in the past.

It's not the first time my phone has failed me with the search function. I even double checked to make sure I spelled Isley correct. I am glad to see they had been taken, not that they are aware of this draft but I felt bad for them lol. 

 
Weekend Dice Roll - Rounds 592, 593, 594 for Friday, Sat., and Sunday

  806 - 185 - 144 - 115 - 814 - 913

Illegal Noir Pulp (anything illegal) (sixth roll - last chance!)

100 K listeners (monthly listeners under 100 K) (fifth roll)

Botany 101 (songs about plants) (first roll)

Songs That Make Your Cry (third roll in a row!)

Artie and Paul In The Morning (Art Garfunkel, Paul Simon, any solo projects) (first roll)

Two first rolls today! That's a good thing for the weekend

 
We have lots of impending retirements. @Ilov80scar idea, given a great name by Dr. Octopus, should go into Dayton/Daytona, IMO. 

Auto Tunes on the block for seconding/naying.

Crazy busy day at work (mid-year performance review time) but still made it for Round 591 by the midnight deadline...

Round 591

Although it's probably an exaggeration to say a song "saved my life," it certainly helped pull me out of a few dark holes.  The version linked below is hardly the best or anything, but the sheer joy it brings out in Stephen Colbert really illustrates its power.

A. This Year - The Mountain Goats w/ Stephen Colbert (mantras)

Plus a favorite Hold Steady b-side

B. You Gotta Dance (With Who You Came to the Dance With) - The Hold Steady (mantras)

I already had this as retired. I think you said last chance on its fifth roll for whatever reason. No biggie.

When I held the dice, channels could hang around in the Elimination Chamber for weeks watching other categories enter and leave before them.  Radio Free Bird probably holds the record for most rolls.

Ahhh, okay. I've got it at five and I update the sheet after every roll. Problem is, I think the sheet didn't save some stuff this weekend. I'm just going to ignore that and plod along as if nothing is wrong. 

Nothing to see here!

I would have kept it in keeping with how you did it, but I never could figure out the Elimination Chamber. I remember being frustrated by it. It's kind of like the movement and Amendment for popularly elected Senators. We just kicked the edifice out from its support of the beautiful architecture that was, just like Woodrow Wilson and his reformist cohorts did.
