@<a href="http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/member.php?u=54120" target="_blank">Jack Pschitt</a>; Well, it tends to apply to other human relationships. People don't like to be friends with sad sacks, either, and you'll seem like a better friendship candidate if you're more uplifting.

On a completely different note, I took @<a href="http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/member.php?u=25441" target="_blank">TheMissingno.</a>;'s advice and I'm now in the middle of a Brotherhood marathon, on episode 16. I'm liking it so far! There is, indeed, a lot more Roy in this version!

My post count is now at 1967, I think that calls for a musical celebration:

@<a href="http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/member.php?u=33254" target="_blank">Goodbye Blue Monday</a>; every post from now until 2013 should include your favorite song of that year.

If I had known I was doing that, I would have started earlier. And "Lucy in the Sky" isn't my favorite of that year, it just seems to capture the zeitgeist best.

Here's one for '68:

Or you'll get perma'd :p

Here's my favourite song from '32, since I have way too many posts.

For 1969, I'm picking something from an album that I used to be obsessed with that was released that year:

I feel like there's an awesome, trippy anime version of Tommy that some insane, drug-addled Japanese person needs to create, like, right now. Has to be better than the live-action movie.

I own the Tommy album, but I'm not a fan.

Liking the Benny Goodman clip, not the fact that you don't like Tommy. :-(

I had a huge crush on a clarinetist in high school and got really into Benny at the time. The crush turned out to be a major-league asshat (and probably a closeted gay guy) but he introduced me to lots of good music, so no harm, no foul.

Anyway, for 1970, I'm posting my third-favorite band, the Velvet Underground:

I jacked up the volume to listen to the Velvets and then I switched back to FMA and I was like HOLY SHIT LOUD

Which was weird because it was just Armstrong and Roy talking in the bathroom while washing their hands.

(What men's bathroom is only stalls, though? Amestris is a weird place.)

Oh, right, music. We're on 1972 now:

Of course, I get stuck with 1973, the year where 2 of the major rock bands debut and all the really awesome stuff from existing bands release. FUCK!

first girl I had a crush on was awful

it was like third grade and like ANYTIME she talked to me I clammed up

I could LITERALLY not say anything back

this resulted in me getting a kickball to the head when she sauntered over and said "HEY TIAFB" and I was all "HURDURRRRRRR" gritting my teeth and smiling like an idiot. I then ended up getting a kickball punted at my head since I was on first base

then when I could finally talk to her she had to move

years later I found out that after we both moved she dated one of our friends which was odd

Well, if you were to go by your post count, you should have posted from 1971, but who cares?

I don't have any knowledge for '38, so how about 83?

1940 the most cheerful time since WW1.

This is fun. Completely jarring musical styles in the same thread. I like the old style jazz, gives me a false sense of nostalgia for a period I never experienced.

I think I should bow out and get some studying done for my German midterm.

Tschüss!

And here's a song for the appropriate year:
