Request Line: Can We Talk About It?

Still me, tWBS  this week.

OK, settle down everyone.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly  will allegedly be back next week.  Allegedly.

Hopefully, he’ll have a more uplifting theme for you.  But I’m in a bad mood and music is the only thing soothing my weary soul.

I’ve had a bad coupla weeks.  Bad coupla months, actually.

But it hit the ledge earlier this week.

Have you ever been in a relationship which you dearly wanted to work, but you came to the conclusion, reluctantly but by necessity, that it just wasn’t going to happen?  No matter how much you love this person nor how hard you’ve tried to talk things out and fix things?

Yes

tWBS:  Wow, 3000.  I had no idea.

DJ3000:  I don’t want to talk about it.

tWBS:  I feel ya.  Let’s just play some songs?

DJ3000:  Yes, please.

tWBS:  You got it, Brother.

OK, 3000 doesn’t want to talk about it.  And I can’t say I blame him.  But that’s exactly our theme this week.

My most recent relationship crashed and burned because she told me she didn’t want to talk about it.  She actually refused to talk, multiple times.

And then told me I was trying too hard.

Yeah, don’t I wish?

We could have fixed our problems.  Fairly easily, I think.  And I begged her over and over to please just talk to me and let’s at least try.  But the more I tried the worse it became.  So I had to come to the realization that it was best to just stop trying.  That was a very difficult choice to make, but I had to do it.

But seriously….

TRYING TOO HARD?????  How is that even a thing?????

You have to be willing to communicate when you’re in a relationship.  Otherwise it will disintegrate eventually anyway.  No matter what.

NO. MATTER. WHAT.

And sadly, it did.

But that’s what it is this week…songs about Communication.

It can be about talking, not talking, avoiding talking, talking too much, or anything else involving communications.

Or lack thereof.

Go!!!!

Fuck, can’t believe I didn’t lead with this (reminds me of our Humps fan imaginary friend who has made herself a ghost):

She just really wants you to call her. I have no idea why anyone wouldn’t.

Starting to realize they really stuck with the theme for the Steve Conte tracks on Cowboy Bebop

Thanks for covering, tWBS. I got back last night and should be functional soon.

I’m going to limit my picks here to a single decade: the nineties, baby!

Sometimes you just need to get honest about all of the shit you’ve pulled.

Kinda wanna apologize for this one since it’s so on the nose for Seamus, but it sure is a purdy song

Such a great song.

I tell people I grew up in the projects…they ask “Cabrini Green?” I say, no, Alan Parsons.

Also, nice theme this week, just sorry it came from shitty times.

It immediately came to mind as I heard it on the radio recently, but there’s no way I’m actually gonna watch the music video

Lady Gaga, Telephone

Teenage me had this on vinyl because teenage me had questionable taste
