ELI MANNING: Hi everybody! It’s me, Eli. I’m sorry I haven’t written before now. Thanks for all the help last summer you gave me on my vocabulary words! Training camp is pretty much over this year and Coach Sullivan said “[a very bad word] all that vocabulary [another bad word], just learn your [pretty bad word] playbook, you [series of VERY bad words]”. So I did. But it’s Friday, so it’s time to relax a bit and listen to some music. Since coach Sullivan used such “colorful” – ha ha! – language, I thought we could use that as a theme for this week’s request line. So pick out your favorite…

ODELL BECKHAM JR.: AWWWW YEAH! ICE T IN THE MOTHERFUCKING HOUSE! [cranks up volume, presses play and runs off nodding his head]
ELI MANNING: [comes out from behind the radiator, where he was hiding and covering his ears] Oh man…Mom’s gonna be so mad.

Can I still be annoyed at you for using Comic Sans, even ironically, like 12 hours too late?
I might be drunk again. The last 2 days i was trying because fuck it I am going back to school in a week. Today I just drank a couple shots but my tolerance is at zero levels because I hadn’t drank in awhile

Maintaining that “thinnest of threads,” The National, Terrible Love, off of High Violet:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqHdi_94SR4
I did eventually go over and let my mom’s dog out. It wasn’t pretty we got into a violent fight where she bit me more than once because I decided attacking her viciously would be a fun thing to do. It was and she loves me even more than she already did when compared to my mom.
Peter Gabriel – Red Rain

Ahhh dammit this is just upsetting. A song from the Mad Season Above reissue, with Mark Lanegan from Screaming Trees filling in for Staley. Imagine this with his voice:

Styx – Blue Collar Man
Just saw these guys last month (why yes, it was at a county fair, why do you ask?) and they’re still pretty good. It was just nice being the youngest one there for a change.

This one counts because I am choosing to allow “rose” as a color:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9oMskByo3I
I had that queued up an hour ago. I thought it was too much of a cheat even for me.
I’ll allow Stripes if you allow this.
Connected to the theme by the thinnest of threads, Deftones, Passenger (on the White Pony album!):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3li5tge0jZ8
Stripes have colors in them so the theme of Stripes works for this theme. I know I am not trying at all. Fuck you for harassing me about it.

There’s a crazy man that’s creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world…

These guys just played my town last night, and hell, I’ve always had a soft spot for them:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRwN2JV1MH8
One time before a concert (can’t remember who) we had dinner at a sushi restaurant and noticed a few folks that were dressed much less smartly than the rest of us (not *badly* dressed, just stood out). Then during the show the performer called those same guys onto stage for a couple of songs; turns out they were members of Counting Crows.
The band looks like they would smell bad, and yet still pull all the tail in the immediate area.
Can someone go let my moms dog out for me? It only would take me 15 minutes but I really just don’t want to do it. She is a good dog mostly but she loves jumping up when she sees me and punching me in the dick with her claws
My iTunes library is all over the goddamn place:

I guess that’s just the way it is.
OK, that was funny.
Oingo Boingo – Grey Matter

Another one I foolishly missed the DOUBLE SHOT on…
Gorillaz – White Light
Corrosion of Conformity – White Noise
Hah! Nice.
I forgot how much I like this album. Their newer stuff… not so much.
Lemme change my color for a few minutes:

A band I thought was gonna be bigger, Black Train Jack:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3Sbyzor6xw
Lions – White Angel
Ben Howard, Black Flies (known to most as a Walking Dead song):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPXJXxfauis
Nice. The Ben Howard I posted below was in the show also.
Forgot about this one…another missed double.
Sorry, I went retarded for a sec…that was Ben Nichols.
Sobriety is overrated.
Ben Howard is awesome. Promise might be one of my favorite songs ever (and Ben Nichols is no damn slouch, either, Last Pale Light is a GREAT fuckin album, and “Shelter” is one of his best songs).
I’ve been listening to a lot both of them lately, so my wires got crossed there for a sec.
Beck – Blue Moon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIWbgR4vYiw
A CLUTCH DOUBLE SHOT!
White’s Ferry:
Black Umbrella:
After the other night, yeah right and I both deserve a beating for letting this one go so long.
Fortunately I don’t have to outrun you guys, I just have to outrun him…and…knees.
Also, please notice it works both for band and song title…so it double wrapped a conundrum.
