I put "69" on my Spotify, just got through it.
It's funny, the highlights are all the ones I remember, but a whole chunk I didn't remember at all.
"Blue You" I'd have said was Nick Cave.

Agggghh 20 years! Finally the anniversaries coincide with some actually good memories. I’ve been waiting for this.

I saw them perform the entire set over two nights. One of my all-time favorite gigs.

I'd swap "Chicken" and "Parades" but yeah.

Listening to this in the first time in years after transferring "just the good ones" to my music player. Thought these would amount to 20-25 songs but I ended up with 40 (including a few I almost left off tbf).
with his choice of voices that didn’t automatically code “gay”
Idk, Flare bear's voice doesn't code "gay" enough on its own?

I did the same thing a couple years ago, around the time 50 Song Memoir came out. Pared out the 19 most annoying or cringey tracks, leaving a playlist of 50. I play it all on shuffle once every few months. Until setting that up, I don't think I had listened to more than an hour's worth over the previous 15 years or so.
