You know who belongs on Mount Rushmore people, right next to Mike Patton? Mr. Serj Tankian, that’s who! You doubt me? Well, get a load of his vocal acrobatics on the System track called “Sugar” – that song is a big budget feature film in two and a half savage minutes!

“I can see my time is running short,” Roger said sheepishly into the upturned mic, palming sweat from his brow as the wedding party grew unruly. Then he tossed the sloshing champagne glass over his shoulder, and withdrew a Sig Sauer from the small of his back, and aimed it at Evangeline’s betrothed.

You know, in the limited pantheon of rock instrumentals that consistently hold your attention on repeat listens, I feel like “Woodpecker from Mars” doesn’t get enough love. Those boys make quite a racket, don't they? Call in with your own nominations, Goldstone.

Take the Money & Run has the all-time mix of rockin groove and egregious rhymes (emphasis added):
Billy Mack is a detective down in TEXAS
You know he knows just exactly what the FACTS IS
He ain't gonna let those two escape JUSTICE
He makes his livin' off of the people's TAXES
No notes, Steve!

In Suicidal Tendencies’ “Send Me Your Money”, is it the Porsche or the Rolls Royce that’s supposed to be more expensive? Because it sounds from context like the British car costs more than the German one, but that can’t be right, can it? We’re talking US dollars in 1990, if that helps.

You wanna kick out the jams, Goldstone? Well, I believe the Del Lords gotcha covered. This here track's called “Crawl in Bed”: if we coincide, it’s coincidence, man - know what I mean?

In “Dragons Forever”, when the villainous Yuen Wah offers Benny the Jet Urquidez a bigger cut if he defeats the relentlessly meddling Jackie Chan, the subtitles have Benny saying “Sure”. But you don’t need to be a lip reader to see that he is plainly saying “You got it.” I call bullshit!

I can’t remember – was Gag Halfrunt Zaphod’s shrink, or just the president of the universe?

In “Hot for Teacher”, if Dave doesn’t feel tardy, wouldn’t that mean he suspects that the clock is fast?

The guitar solo in “Two Tickets to Paradise” is Steely Dan worthy – as is the rhythm section. Start listening at 1:30, and tell me I’m wrong.

In trying times, as ever, Jaz and the gang come through for us. This is Killing Joke, people, with their evergreen classic “Money Is Not Our God!”

The groom’s father, who was, technically, Roger’s employer for this particular escapade, stayed rooted to his seat at the head table, three places away from the slumping remains of his son, a fork still clenched in his right hand.
“What?!?” he demanded, as all the surviving guests fled, screaming.

The room turned on him then, and men started standing up. Their silken cuffs were buttoned, and they had cummerbunds, and none of them was sober, but between them they outweighed Roger by several decimal places.

Roger jogged up the rented steps and, with no invitation whatsoever, strode across the stage and commandeered the microphone. He tapped his champagne glass with a gleaming steak knife, and addressed the assembled.

Can we just, as a species, agree on the existence of a flawless cultural artifact? We have Sade’s “Paradise” for christ’s sake, and we’ve had it since 1988 - all the rest is gravy!

If you wanna play along at home, go ahead and cue up a supercut of the first five seconds of every single Village People hit, and try to tell the difference between em. Right? But once you get past those cannily addictive five seconds, every song is a gem: disco, positivity, and civic engagement.

I’m converted, yall! On the basis of “Poor Rambler” alone, DJ Randy is now a comfirmed and diehard Sturgill Simpson fan, fully fledged and dues paid! Hot dang that’s a good song!

You throw down “Flagpole Sitta”?
I counter with Goldfinger’s “Here In Your Bedroom”.

I’m inclined to take this lady at her word when she says that all she’s gotta do is beep him 911 and he'll be there, because why wouldn’t he? MC Lyte is all that all day people! And DJ Randy has always aspired to be a “Ruffneck”!

Speaking of inexplicably unsung 90s hip hop crews, can I get some love for the virtuosic Lords of the Underground? What, you need a reminder? Ok, here’s “What’s Goin’ On”, f you can handle it.

Here’s a tidy little six-and-a-half minute exercise in storytelling, melancholy, and olympic vocalization. From his brilliant 1989 album “Workbook”, this is the inimitable Bob Mould belting out “Brasilia Crossed With Trenton”!

My life fades…the vision dims…but no worries, because up next we’ve got a guy who manifests the whole Road Warrior ethos, vocally and sartorially. Plus Steve Stevens! Until recently the gem of Generation X, this, people, is Billy Idol – “Come On, Come On”!

DJ Randy can’t tell if these guys are ecstatic about love, money or Jesus. But either way, I wanna feel like Uriah Heep does when they praise the virtues of “Easy Livin”!
