Well done.

Leading the rebellion
Yeah, I get it. I am a totally different person and totally grateful for it. But those tunes serve as a link to those times and memories
I could probably also add
Crazy in love - Beyoncé
Mr Brightside - Killers
But not sure what I would remove to accommodate them
Leading the rebellion
Also maybe
Underdog - Turin breaks
Anything of the Californication album

I have become a sucker for 2000s pop music, so here’s my new top 10, not in any real order:
MGMT - Time to Pretend
Modest Mouse - Float On
The All-American Rejects - Swing, Swing
Taylor Swift - Our Song
Jimmy Eat World - The Middle
Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles
Rihanna - Umbrella
Kanye West - Runaway
Coldplay - Fix You
The Ataris - Boys Of Summer
Retiree
Joe Budden - Staind. Really summed up how I was feeling at the time, for many many years.
Jay-Z - Beach Chair. It's a reflective song with an almost morbidly positive take.
Lil Nas X - Old Town Road. It's just a fun ******* song and the memes that came from it killed me. Had me in stitches.
Foo Fighters - Best of you - speaks for itself.
Nas - Ether - the most brutal diss track ever and culture shaping. When you make Jay-Z admit defeat, you are a God.
Eve 6 - Here's to the night - I think everyone has a sappy song about good times that were so good, but you didn't know how good they were. When life was at its most vibrant and every option was before you. When camaraderie existed because it felt like you HAD to have it to get through, even if you were just a youngster who didn't know better. What a ******* song.
Kanye West - Good morning - back when he was...sane? It's just a reminder of how talented he is.
Moonshine/Gorilla by Bruno Mars. I don't know why, but they are here. I'm a Bruno Mars fan, so this list felt wrong without him being on it.
Teardrop by Massive - Theme Song to House, one of my favorite shows. It's good, and gives a certain feel to it. Puts me on edge, but comfortably.
Locked Up by Akon - one of the biggest running jokes my friends and I ever had. Literally over ten years. It shouldn't be, because it's a sad song...but it be that way.

Kinger I really like Teardrop too. Group 4 is my fav Massive Attack but Teardrop is probably better in most ways.

I was curious if Mark had a concert in Denver soon, but no. I found this review of a concert and this review made me think a bit.
It was such a privilege to get to see Sun Kil Moon (Mark Kozelek) play in LA last night. It is not often that I get to see a man my age doing what he does. He is a highly principled human being who has no tolerance for bad behavior. (Would continually call people out for acting stupid in the audience. Took away one ladies cell phone, because she kept texting and posting on social media.) It was nice to see a man who is a fully integrated human being. He could display such strong male aggression, anger, dislike but also be very empathic, loving, compassionate and kind. He saw no conflict between the two. He was able to hold space for the whole range of human emotions. Was very refreshing to see. He was also very human- not afraid to expose his insecurities in his songs and on stage. Half of the large audience seemed to leave mid-way through the 3 hour performance. Maybe they could not hold their attention for that long. People seemed terrified of the displays of aggression. I loved every minute of it. He was not looking for a fight. When he saw someone behaving like an idiot he had no hesitation to let them know that they where behaving badly. "I am trying to work here, get out. Go if you are bored," or "You have two legs to stand on. You have your health. You are at a concert. You are not being shot at or murdered right now so shut the **** up. You have nothing to complain about. Get it together or get out of here," he would say. In our overly PC society, where people try not to make waves, most people are not used to seeing this kind of behavior. It was not sensless aggression. It was intelligent and honest. He treats people like adults and if they are behaving poorly has no fear about letting them know. Was such an honor to get to be in the presence of a person like Mark last night.
