Mean Mr. Mustard's was a typical college bar serving students of Ohio State University until it closed down in the mid '90s. Recently someone in a classic Columbus Facebook group I like to peruse unearthed this playlist from the club's heyday. Even those who were not on the Columbus, Ohio campus but who are of a certain age can appreciate this playlist. It says "no certain order," but let's order it by picking your favorite...

Rong, "Love comes quickly" beats all.

Rise is good and all, but have you heard those Until December tracks?

wow they were playing "Love Comes Quickly" in spring '86? The album wasn't even out yet. Must've been an import single?

Fuck yeah - I went to college 90 minutes away from Columbus and went dancing at Mean Mr. Mustard's in the early 90s.

Twitch?

EZ Snappin, Sunday, 23 August 2015 18:22 (eight years ago) link

"Why Don't We Live Together" would be a perfect first-dance song at a wedding:

There comes a time in everyone's life
when all of the parties every night
they're not enough

that's my favorite PSB song

Had to vote for Prince, but March Violets are maybe the most underappreciated on here. Love that song.

I can't decide what to vote for. In fact, it's probably much easier to say what I wouldn't vote for... there's no way on Earth that I'd ever vote in favour of anything to do with Sigue Sigue Sputnik, for example. Fucking dross of the highest order.
