Bonus! Song of the Day

Reel Big Fish, "Beer" from Turn the Radio Off (Aunt Charlie*)

Skammentary: Last night at dinner, I mentioned ska as my favorite music & described the preposterous nature of Flint's best band being formed by a bunch of ska kids a decade-plus after 1997's Summer of Ska. On the drive home, Aunt Charlie, who had never before heard of ska, used her smartphone to search for the genre. I'd mentioned Reel Big Fish, so she gravitated to them in her search results. She liked "Sell Out," but really liked "Beer." So, this one's for her!

*Code Name: CHAOS
No, her name is neither Charlotte nor Charlene; "Aunt Charlie" as in the latter C in the N.A.T.O. phonetic alphabet. Aunt Charlie is married to Uncle Bravo & is the mother of my cousins Mike, Mike (neither of whom is named Michael), & Juliett—the second Mike is a lass & Juliett is a lad.
