Did you sing along to anything today? Describe the moment.

I've been on a bit of a nostalgia kick this evening thinking through songs performed live that didn't ever (or won't ever) get a legitimate studio release but are amazing none-the-less. It's hard to link them because of the lack of a studio release but I did quietly sing along. Majesty Snowbird by Sufjan Stevens, the "live in paris in '94" version of Round Here by The Counting Crows (I'll link this because it actually is in Apple Music), Post Malone performing Smells Like Teen Spirit with the surviving members of Nirvana.

Lots of nostalgia. Lots of amazing music. All of it quite old (I think the live version of Majesty Snowbird floating around is from 2008 and the others are from the mid '90s). You won't go wrong looking any of those up on youtube.
