The PopCult Historienne

Welcome to the first official day of the State of Georgia's Shelter-In-Place order. Woo-frackin'-hoo. I hope this helps some folks realize the seriousness of COVID-19. Anywaaaaay, it's time for a top 5! 1. "Debra" by Beck "Debra" is the best song, in my opinion, of Beck's album Midnite Vultures from 1999. I first heard this song on the soundtrack to the film Baby Driver  and have loved it ever since. It is hard for me to find a song that can make me happy no mater what kind of mood I am in, but this song does it. It's weird and has Prince vibes, so my love for it isn't surprising. If you click on the photo, you will be linked to the Amazon listing for the album. 2.

My favorite podcast of all time, and the first one I started listening to religiously, is And That's Why We Drink with Christin

On A Weekend I Wanna Wish It All Away (Week 14) Yellow Ledbetter -  Pearl Jam from the single Jeremy  (1991) The number one way I know I am slipping into depression is when I listen to Pearl Jam a lot. I love Eddie Vedder's voice and Pearl Jam is a great band, but I gravitate toward them and other moody grunge stuff when I am not doing so great. Jack and Diane - John Mellencamp from the album American Fool  (1982) This song reminds me of being a carefree kid in the back seat of my dad's Chevy Camaro with the t-tops out. Life was so much simpler then.  Give It Away -  The Red Hot Chili Peppers from the album Blood Sugar Sex Magik  (1991( I got this stuck in my head for an unknown reason. Night Moves -  Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band from the album Night Moves  (1976) This song also reminds me of being a kid with no worrie
