Sounds like an art professor who is ready for Spring Break

Even Forrest would be like "fuck this, I'm just running a straight line"

I mean, is it even a contest? I ain't doing shit unless I can win something non-PJ related.

Harmless & Trag, you are two of my favorite posters around here.
Please bring it in, Jamily. We can be so much better than this.

As an aside, very excited by Ruddo's song choices over the past decade and a half. GSMF & Johnny Guitar both criminally underrated...Johnny was one of the last times they truly sounded as though we were having fun without being overwrought.

Still not clicking with the new jazz

Edit: Running club? Can I roll?

sometimes it isn't both sides that are the problem; I promise you it's OK to say "Trag, leave Harmless alone" once in a while

Not casting aspersions nor distributing blame in any direction. Merely stating that I'd like to participate in a group hug with two of my favorite posters. As I said...sleep, dick in hand...it's in my post. Were I awake during the, ahem, discussion, I'm certain I would have had a reaction in real time.

In any case, Harmless, would you care to do a few donuts with me for this cockamamie running club?

we're trying to keep up with the song

if we can enter this thread's creative contributions into the Running Club, all the better

By the way, this Running Club sounds more like some weirdly self-aware cheeseball promotion Rivers Cuomo would do

of course you're not, it's much easier to just vaguely say "calm down everyone"

It's unfortunate that it's taken 34 years for them to think of forming individual clubs within their fanbase based on song titles. There could have been some pretty great ones over the years.

The Garden Club -- for PJ fans who are also green thumbs
The Animal Club -- for pet owners and wildlife enthusiasts (subgroup: The Leash Club, for dogwalkers)
The Push Me Pull Me Club -- basically fight club
The Sleight of Hand Club -- for aspiring magicians within the PJ fan community
The Getaway Club -- for globetrotting PJ fans to check off travel destinations, stat-tracker style, and share their vacay snaps
The Why Go Club -- for homebodies who don't see the point of the Getaway Club
The Alive Club -- for anyone alive
The Dead Man Club -- for anyone who doesn't meet the criteria for the Alive Club
The Life Wasted Club -- for anyone still reading at this point

you're not wrong. We have this conversation every 50 pages or so (and just did a week or two ago so fairly recently). The people who need to internalize it generally don't. Some have enough positive qualities to justify pushing through. Like an Andrew Watt mix

I really appreciate you, and dozens of others who contribute.

I wonder if you guys believe that, without the trolls, there would be no discussion? Like you need an idiot to bounce off of.

Whatever the case. Love you all.

Spotify is good. You can increase the streaming quality in settings.

It maxes out well below tidal/amazon/apple

Can someone please just tell me what the best way to listen to this thing is?

whatever makes your heart happy!

Yeah but… how does one change the EQ settings in Spotify, and what would you set them to to get the most or best out of this song?

Settings > playback > equalizer. You can start with any of the defaults and then drag (up or down) various adjustment points from the low end to mid to high end. it's rudimentary but better than apple where you have no choice.

Thank you! I’ll fuck around and find out.

I listened this morning on Youtube at work and it sounded better than when I listened last night on Spotify.

I'll probably go with 3 stars at the moment.

Are you calling trolls anyone who doesn't like the new stuff and wants to post about it?

can I be the founding member of the Elderly Woman club?

Some trolls are just trolls
Some trolls are often really funny
Some trolls are incredibly insightful when they focus on not trolling


You generally need to put up with a to have B and C

This is so incredibly, plainly dumb it hurts. Someone got paid to come up with this marketing promotion. Someone GREENLIT this marketing promotion.

And sometimes some people we love struggle to tell the difference between posting behavior that is generally disruptive of creating a shared and reasonably safe and open space everyone can enjoy, and sharing an opinion
