Week 21 had a hiccup with our social media and no one saw the prompts. So we rolled it over and combined with Week 22.
TGEFM continues our staff and reader -generated Spotify mixtape for 2024. Most weeks will be themes (all entries must follow the theme, we are the final judge, haha), and readers can make their picks on the pinned thread at the top of the TGEFM Facebook page.
Song picks for Weeks 21 and 22 are inspired by the following:
28 May 2024: National Burger Day – songs about, or featuring the word, “hamburger”/”burger” (and “Blood Bath at Burger King” was used last week… sorry!)
31 May 2024: World No Tobacco Day – songs about smoking… or trying to quit smoking
01 Jun 2024: National Say Something Nice Day – songs about compliments
02 Jun 2024: National Leave the Office Early Day – songs about skipping work
03 Jun 2024: Repeat Day – songs where a large portion of the lyrics are the same word, or verse, repeated
04 Jun 2024: National Cheese Day – The cheesiest song you know from an otherwise good band
06 Jun 2024: National Higher Education Day – Songs from bands where at least one member has an advanced degree
08 Jun 2024: National Best Friends Day – Songs about being good buddies
10 Mon 2024: National Ball Point Pen Day – songs about handwriting something, or featuring the word “pen”

the white drew carey (aka – Jeff Sorley) is the founder and head editor of TGEFM. He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
