There is a line in the song Stay Positive by the Hold Steady that goes “There’s gonna come a time when the true scene leaders forget where they differ and get big picture ‘cause the kids at the shows, they’ll have kids of their own and the sing-along songs will be our scriptures.”  I’m old enough that this is happening now. 

In light of that, I’m going to spend the rest of the year highlighting our scriptures.  

Old Testament. Every song Operation Ivy ever released could easily be on this list and probably should. But spending 27 days posting the entirety of OPIV’s discography seems pretty ridiculous. If you want more than this song, just pull out the cd you bought when you were 15 and listen to everything.
