Aw, I saw that Ranking Roger died while we were in Florida. Don’t usually try to time my choices to current events (it’s too hard to be prompt and then my select-an-album project starts to get away from me) but any excuse to listen to this, one of my favorite favorites from college, from the fun take on mental illness / vanity that kicks it off with “Mirror in the Bathroom” then, all of but I especially love “Twist and Crawl” “Noise in This World” “Best Friend” and of course “Stand Down Margaret” (which puts one in mind of #theresamay just now) and just, oh, I don’t know, multiple-listen-demanding covers of “Tears of a Clown” and “Can’t Get Used To Losing You”... noticed Roger singing goodbye at the end of “Jackpot” and thought it was kinda poignant.sn, every song on here is great. And “go listen to some ska” is like a prescribed medical treatment after driving 1500 miles over two days or whatever it was we just did returning from spring break. #riprankingroger #theenglishbeat #thebeat #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinyladdict #standdownmargaret #mirrorinthebathroom #twistandcrawl #rankingroger #ijustcantstopit #ellipticalsoundtrack #treadmillsoundtrack #nowspinning #nowspinningonvinyl (at Noblesville, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvstQEnHSiO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14ew80v4v0hri

If you’d come to me when I was in college and said, “In 2019 you’ll be in a meeting about insurance ads and as you sit there you’ll receive a notification on your phone that the official Instagram account of The English Beat ‘liked’ a remark you made about their album ‘I Just Can’t Stop It,’” I probably would have said, “I’ll be writing insurance ads?” Thanks, @theenglishbeat ... #theenglishbeat #ijustcantstopit #goals #funnyworld (at Young & Laramore) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2PYVKnWet/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lvcf3ui8y8w4
