Just read an article on SF Gate website, Green Day have paid for the Murray Bowles book to be published. ❤️

What "holy grail" material do we have left in store? --- I'm guessing either of three given a B-side album: compilation of released b-sides, releasing songs they've already reworked, or they're completely starting from scratch from now on

top song for me was Going to Pasalaqcua followed by Armitage Shanks, then Longview, then Chump (which was a surprise to me) and then to round out my top 5, Suffocate

I was also top 0.005% with 18,154 minutes. What's kinda crazy about that is, I didn't listen to much GD this year before I saw them in Atlanta on August 28. They were so great it made me want to revisit their whole catalog, so I have been listening to pretty much nothing but them and their side projects while at work. Top 5 songs: 1)Last Night on Earth, 2)Oh Love, 3)Brutal Love, 4)Dilemma, 5)Still Breathing. Obviously they were my number one. The Longshot ended up at number 4.

0.0005% is crazy 😯 You've got to be getting towards number 1 listener. Also I wouldn't believe that Reddit thread. As per that song from Rent, 200,000+ minutes would literally be half of the year. So unless they've got saviors on ten hours a day, every single day, that's BS.

On this day 4 years ago (4 December 2020), we were enlightened by Money Money 2020 Part II. I'm sure The Network tried to mind control me but I'm too tired for that shit. 20 years ago (4 December 2004), Green Day played in Monterrey, Mexico on the American Idiot Tour. 24 years ago (4 December 2000), Green Day played the Colosseum in Munich, Germany on the Warning Tour. 27 years ago (4 December 1997), Green Day played the Event Center Arena in San Jose, CA on the Nimrod Tour. 30 years ago (4 December 1994), Green Day played the UNH Fieldhouse in Durham, NH on the Dookie Tour.

Last night a different friend gave me the Last Ride In and Sound Check ground coffee. I haven't tried these yet, but I am really looking forward to it.

Lowlife was my #2 most played song and it only came out in October

I only started using Spotify in October so my numbers are quite low but already very Green Day orientated, Dilemma was my top song which surprised me.

I saw people in the reddit thread that had over 200,000.

We are percentage buddies! 👋 I'm also top 0.005%, but you beat me in the minutes, I "only" have 21,716. Not sure if I should be proud or mortified by any of these numbers Top song is Fancy sauce, I'm in the 0.001% of listeners with 268 streams? I'm a bit disappointed in everyone, including myself. That is not even 1 listen per day on average 😅 After Fancy Sauce, top songs are Bobby Sox, Dilemma, 1981 and Goodnight Adeline... a bit surprised about that last one, as I choose Strange Days and Saviors way more often. I'm guessing it due to the order of the album. If I am listening while doing something else, I'll often go back and reply Bobby Sox after it's passed, but not immediately because I'm doing something else. But if I'm in the second play of Bobby Sox I might then skip OEB in the second pass.

I'm surprised by my top songs. It had me in the top .001% for OEB. When I chose a song from Saviors, I tended to go with Dilemma, LIT20s, Goodnight Adeline, or Suzi Chapstick. Hell, I thought Black Haired Girl would be on the list. I picked that one more than any other the past few months.

Top Artist: Green Day, top .05% of listeners. Top Songs: All from Saviors, with Dilemma at #1. At .005% of listeners (which I find a bit difficult to believe with the number of streams mentioned there, but.) What did surprise me was seeing The Longshot as my #5 artist - I know I had that album on repeat for a bit, but I didn't expect it to make that much of a difference.

Me too. And top 0.05% of Dilemma listeners for me

For now I am just going to say I didn't know Spotify counted so many decimal points until I saw my number 🫣 Unsurprisingly Fancy Sauce is my most heard song. Although if you gave me a couple more months (or weeks) Black Eyeliner would have been an easy second

Top 0.5% of listeners on my Spotify wrapped 😉❤️

Whatever that YT channel called "dzd ps" posted is not real. It's AI processed stuff, not any leaked material, unfortunately.

Now that's a book worth getting, The Punk Photography of Murray Bowles. https://1234gorecords.shop/products/pre-order-hail-murray-the-punk-photography-of-murray-bowles-1982-1995-book?_pos=1&_psq=murray&_ss=e&_v=1.0&fbclid=PAY2xjawG8-gJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABpqt6tOkWIQyzvbhtU59aLbVrlaN3_PaTETVE0x5raj9WNJckKjB0u1hRBA_aem_Dofdui5RC6WlKriwHipuzA

Ugh

even if that cover wasnt a real studio recording, it still made a single (Warning CD1) and its the only pre 21CB B-side that hasn't had a wide release on streaming services, which would make it perfect to throw on this hypothetical second Rarities comp as much as it pains me to say it you're probably right on the masters being rotted, however theres a slight chance that Larry Livermore could have a back up somewhere that he could easily give to green day

Billboard chart update- Alternative Airplay: 6 (up from 7) Rock & Alternative Airplay: 9 (down from 7) Mainstream Rock Airplay: stays at 11

Saw them in LA this year so probably won’t go to this one… Don’t really like festivals. But if they add more dates then maybe 👀

Interesting! What About Today, Things I Heard Today, Second Time Around, Waste Away. Haven’t heard of any of these. Anyone have links to YouTube recordings of these? Edit: I think I found them. Not that great. Is Waste Away the first version of Oh Love? Oh Love ended up being a great song. Dreamcatcher would be cool if they released that from the songs we’ve been talking about and Oh Girl.

I'm going!!! But I do hope there are more dates I want to see Dookie and AI in full!!!!!!!!!
