Are there, like, only 37 songs in total that don't get tagged "corny" "indie" now? That would be the only explanation for calling "Hollaback" either.

Though the "fuxx" part is probably apt.

I need crib notes on what those songs are really badly.

33. Front 242 "Welcome To Paradise"

― donut debonair (donut), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 18:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Another question: For inclusion, do these 37 songs have to fail to meet the criteria of both "corny" and "indie," or can they be one or the other but not both, or can they have both in spades in a manner that cancels it all out?

34. Big Audio Dynamite "C'Mon Every Beatbox"

There are repeating numbers Eric. They are implied.

"Sweet Home Alabama," which wasn't in my class notes up to this point, is probably a third level bonus track.

Adm please lock all further discussion of "corny indie" songs. We've settled on what is and what isn't.

― L'Histoire d'Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I can seriously make this collection a reality.

Oh man, the cover art!

― donut debonair (donut), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I am full of love for this collection.

dd, if that finish line graphic isn't the cover art, I'm going on a hunger strike.

OH FCK "HUNGER STRIKE"!!!!

Of COURSE, it's going to be the cover art!

― donut debonair (donut), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Must be sent to me once it's made a reality!

Your dissertation will be the liner notes.

haha... the most radically misinformed liner notes of all time!

Salinger will come out of retirement to do the liner notes.
