Simple but somehow impressive
Anyone who can think of something

    Okay, this might be stupid of me... But isn't it 'Plan A' instead of 'Planet'?

    This is "The Message" to all those people out there, the exclusive little group of ~true~ Dandys fans. The people out there who think "hey, i'm not a freak, i'm not alone" when listening to Dandy Warhols records. Courtney wants to take all of us to another planet, away from this crappy earth with all its damage. This is YOUR song. :)

    yeah i think it's plan A also, it would obviously make more sense. however, i think they both serve the same purpose, a change in the situation because the current one isn't satisfying.

    i dont really think so. probably more of an obtuse/general message about the effect of change on mindsets, attitudes and confidence. wow, what an underwhelmingly typical response..

    The song is about functioning addicts or habitual drug users that still manage to hold their shit together.

    I\'ve recently gone through something akin to the stages of grief, over what we call recycling. I also spent the first two years of the pandemic watching polar-opposite mainstream media back-n-forth because we have dismantled the discovery, reporting, and dissemination of truthful news (at least in the States) and it takes consuming bs from both sides to discern truth. \n\nSo to me, in this moment, (is that implied, everyone posts with such absolute regard) what this song means:\n\nEveryone is so absorbed in the pagentry and programming in life that we can\'t even recognize. Could be politics, maybe our outward personas, I don\'t prescribe and it\'s whatever it may be, but whatever, it results in these rote responses and virtuous opinions that we all sing or sing in reply to. That\'s not life...\n\nBecause whatever that is has raped the planet- for commercial gain, for our unbalanced "needs", for whatever. It\'s not a partisan topic for debate, it\'s a goddamn existential threat to the survival of our goddamn species, and it should be at the forefront of the mind in anyone made aware even to the slightest incling... But then that pagentry cranks up the volume and ????la-dee-da???? isn\'t focusing on the contrivances an addicting escape from the unending and extremely rational existential dread? \n\nWe\'re not doing a goddamn thing. We just keep expiring through life, one person after another, all the while vilifying and demonizing intellect truth science and knowledge. So like, as one of those people that feels capable and empowered yet cognizant enough to clearly see there is no societal inertia to save ourselves... Can we just get far enough along in my lifetime to allow my concentrated will and capabilities to physically flee this dying planet, with like-willed capable individuals, and yall just keep whistling about the course of Plan A?

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
