Day 11: A song for a cookout/barbecue
"Barbecue" and "cookout" have different vibes, and require different music. Barbecue is low and slow. You started in the dark. Brisket, ribs, even a nice butt, well slapped. I love a good slapped butt. Mostly it is just you, until the guests arrive, theoretically sitting there drinking beer because you need to "watch the temp," or "keep and eye on the smoke." Blues, for me. Always blues. Low down and dirty, or cranked up and rocking. Muddy Waters, Etta, BB, John Lee Hooker for the cook, or maybe someone local. ZZ Top when the guests arrive. Crank it.

A cookout covers more. Burgers, dogs, steaks. Or something faster, like tri-tip in a PBC (heaven), or a nice jerked chicken or pork. Grilling, for the most part. Fast. More social. Here is my last jerked pork (sub my OnlyPans!). For grilling, I tend to go with music with energy, like ska, classic rock, punk, or pop punk. I love me some pop punk. And with that in mind, this feels appropriate...

"Light 'Em Up," Fall Out Boy

Day 11: A song for a cookout/barbecue

Cookout or barbecue, for me, means summer. I know some people have “summer” weather all year round but, here, we do not. And this song is just a feel good summer jam.

Because of Taye Diggs?

Not not because of him. But everyone in that movie is fantastic.

Day 12 a song that makes me feel good

I unapologetically and unironically love this song. And only partially because I watched The Secret of My Success on cable way too often
