Tales From The Drop Box Episode 172 (2020-20) The Pandemic/BLM Episodes

Blah Blah Blah was a pretty good album by Iggy Pop and the theme for this week – Blah Blah Blah. As we get closer to the only election that matters and a turning point in our country’s future, the real question is whether good will triumph over evil. That an election should decide the battle of good and evil is a truly sad thought. Why you might ask? Did you ever consider that the result of that battle is still a toss up after almost four years of misery both political and personal, and that we still are nation gripped by a pandemic and racial unrest. Good will triumph over Trump … eventually.

Tales From The Drop Box Episode 172 is just the antidote for an oppressive real world. There is hope and here is about an hour of it.

Tales From The Drop Box Episode 143 (2019-10)

Do you want to get high? (no I don’t) so says Maxïmo Park. I’m not sure how I feel about the new focus on cannabis to alter my mind as I read about the significant increase in traffic fatalities in those states that have legalized the drug in all of its forms. See Crashes Rise in First States to Begin Legalized Retail Sales of Recreational Marijuana. I am not troubled by the individual right to screw up your own mind. I am deeply troubled by the selfish asses that get in vehicles while high and then go kill someone.This should be sobering information for all of us.

There will be no fatalities listening to Tales From The Drop Box Episode 143 and while you will get high, the music will cause your car to swerve with pleasure as you sing along, so let’s be careful out there. Pray the the gods of the good shit, eh?

  2. Angel Du$t – “Biggest Girl” (Pretty Buff)
  3. Broken Social Scene – “Remember Me Young” (Let’s Try The After, Vol. 1)
  4. Commonwealth – “Runaway” (Do You Remember?)
  5. Maxïmo Park – “Get High (No I Don’t)” (As Long As We Keep Moving)
  6. Spirit Award – “Dark Night Of The Soul” (Muted Crowd)
  7. Facing New York – “Gods Of The Good Shit” (Dogtown)
