My list of perfect karaoke songs
I love karaoke and have spent years painstakingly crafting and empirically testing a list of perfect tracks. These are those tracks.  EASY (low-effort crowd pleasers):  Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus Cool by Gwen Stefani Hand in my Pocket by Alanis Morissette  Torn by Natalie Imbruglia  INTERMEDIATE (either stylistically harder or easy but requires moxie):  Laid by James I Touch Myself by the Divinyls  Cherry Bomb by the Runaways  Common People by Pulp HARD (requires moxie and technical skill):  Hook by Blues Traveller  Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind(If you pull off Semi-Charmed Life in a public karaoke setting, you are potentially about to fuck the most bitches that anyone has ever fucked. Personal note: I can run this track start to finish without so much as GLANCING at the lyrics..) BONUS: I'm So Tired by Fugazi. In my opinion, this is the funniest karaoke track ever. Play it really straight.

what’s the maximum song length before you’re disrespectful to the crowd. i’d say 4:30 unless you have the stage presence for a 5-minuter.

an evening of karaoke is not complete without Alanis. natashaghoskins deanaburke and I were discussing this topic yesterday and from that, Santa Baby will be an excellent addition to my repertoire.

Been toying with the idea of doing the divinyls but haven’t gotten drunk enough tbh!!! Also I suspect When I Come Around by Green Day would be easy and get the crowd going

throwing in a wildcard for lit crowd reaction: Metallica nothing else matters. Use big guitar solos for sinking pints.

not posting
often when something noteworthy happens to me -- a negative sexual experience, an awkward date, a weird subway encounter -- i'll have the impulse to post about it on twitter. but then i think, what if i texted this to my friend instead? and then you can text it to your friend, maybe even one you haven't texted in a while, and they will probably be happy to hear from you directly and you will have strengthened a beautiful relationship. all tweets are spiritually corrosive and the spirit of your new interpersonal bond will persevere long after platforms are dead

being a groupie
my job is being a writer which means i have a lot of free time and it also means that fun group events within my industry are rare. this opens up the wonderful world of being a GROUPIE -- a quasi-professional fan of the talents of others. i am not a comedian but through being a comedy groupie i have reaped the greatest benefit of the trade (funny friends) without ever having to set foot on an improv stage. i am not a musician but through being a music groupie i get to listen to my friends play beautiful songs and sometimes play with them for fun. i am not in fashion but being a fashion groupie means i get to hang out with impossibly stylish and knowledgeable women and sometimes try on beautiful clothes. being a master of none means you get to hang out with the masters of everything and it rocks. and all that is demanded of you is that you love and appreciate wonderful art -- DONT MIND IF I DO !
