I’ve been meaning to do this diary for a while now, and finally had the time to go searching for the music I wanted! Grab a Saturday night beverage and hop below the story break (after refreshing your memory on how everyone can participate in Top Comments!) for songs spanning the days!
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
- Manic Monday — The Bangles — In our house, any day that just totally goes sideways and sucks is renamed Monday.
- Tuesdays — Jake Scott — “Love's not only the best days or the worst days, love is the Tuesdays”. Cementing the trueism that Tuesday is just the most mundane day of the week. Hrmm… that’s my regular TC day. Coincidence?!
- Wednesday Morning — Macklemore — the singer’s thoughts on the morning after Election Day 2016.
- Thursday’s Child — David Bowie — “And I was Thursday's child...”
- Friday I’m In Love — The Cure — Best song I’ve ever sung at church was this one, with the parents of all the kids who were ‘graduating’ aka Bridging to adulthood, at the request of said kids.
- Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting — Elton John — Don’t get me wrong, I mean... Saturday night’s good for LOTS of things ;)
- Sunday Bloody Sunday — U2 — One of the best overtly political songs I’ve ever heard. "How long, how long must we sing this song?"
- Eight Days A Week — The Beatles — because much like for soooooome people there’s a Tweet for everything, there’s *always* an appropriate Beatles tune.
There were SO many good songs I had to omit tonight or there would be 50 songs in my list! So, my wonderful readers: what songs come to mind for you tonight? Add them in the comments, after first perusing the trio of Top Comments, Mojo and Pictures that we’ve served up every single day since mid-2006!
TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
It was a really quiet day in TC Nomination-land, which hopefully means y’all were out enjoying the weekend! I know I certainly did (is spent the whole day raking the same as enjoying? I hope so)! Even our trusty highlights search methods didn’t show much… but I did find this one by Stellaray:
this comment by martydoc from their diary Bravo to one woman and one man. To the ambassador to Ukraine, and to Adam Schiff.
