As with most Steve Hoffman threads, it tends to stray out of its lane at times, but shitloads of great stuff in here, tons of bands I never heard of, just gonna make one huge playlist off of these someday..

Probably the last time I really spent a lot of time listening to "new" music, my son was around 10 at the time and just getting into music/listening to the radio, so I spent a lot of time listening to his music, some pretty good pop bands in the early 2000's...
(This one I found via my kids through one of those Rathergood videos, the same guy that did the crazy Quizno's We Like the Subs commercials, Joel Veitch, he did one for this song with a bunch of screaming kittens...)
Love Fountains of Wayne, a deep cut here but love the Boz Scaggs vibe...

Jim Irsay the Indianapolis Colts owner picked up three items at the David Gilmour Guitar Collection auction at Christie’s New York salesroom. Turns out he is a huge Pink Floyd fan and so he bought not one, but three items at the auction. Spending a total of $5.245 million on the lot!'
A 1969 black Fender Stratocaster known as “The Black Strat” for $3.975 million.
A 1969 Martin D-35 acoustic guitar for $1.095 million. (used to write Wish You Were Here)
The travel case used for “The Black Strat” for $175,000.
Figured that would be the grand finale. After that Strat 0001 sold for 1.8MM, I was thinking MAYBE 2.6 MM or so for the Black Strat, I was way off. (Puts checkbook away...)
I believe in the family
With my ever loving wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night
Do you believe in god
'Cause that's what I'm selling
And if you want to get to heaven
I'll see you right
'Cause Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
And he's been telling me
Everything is alright
(Most quoted, when the situation arises)
Yeah, let's go get sushi and not pay.
Seen one eat a rockin' chair one time...
Right now we gotta get my car outta this bad area
We are gonna get him the HELL... outta there.
Find one in every car. You'll see.
Nothin' but the best.
THEY? Who the hell is they?
Why, it must be Italian!
