This is it.
The NFL season is upon us, with all its attendant joy, frustration, panic, and misery. And this is the final edition of Request Line until next year. Sure, if something truly special happens like Roger Goodell getting fired (out of a cannon, into the sun) we might slip in a special edition (like last year’s Halloween bash), but don’t hold your breath. Instead, use that breath to breathe a huge sigh of relief that football is right on the front doorstep, waiting for you to invite it back into your hearth and heart.
That’s a joke, by the way. Football doesn’t wait patiently, and it sure as hell doesn’t come in peacefully through the front door. No, football SMASHES RIGHT THROUGH THE WALL BACK INTO YOUR LIFE! IT’S TIME TO GET HYPE FOLKS, CAUSE FOOTBALL MOTHERFUCKING FOOTBALL GODDAMN RIGHT FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL IS BACK!
Ahem.
So let’s treat it with proper respect and herald its arrival with this week’s Request Line theme: Songs That Make You Want To Run Through A Goddamn Brick Wall.
You are invited to pick a total of THREE songs. Anything you want that gets you properly fired up. Thanks to the holiday, plus the start of the season and all that jazz, I’m going to hold off until Thursday to post the radio compilation. So take your time and choose carefully. THIS REQUEST LINE I CALL IT THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS OFFENSE CAUSE THERE’S REALLY NO RUSH TO SPEAK OF.
I’ll get us started with the song that’s been in my head all offseason as I get excited about Amari Cooper and Derek Carr’s second season working together. I’m expecting big things from the both of them.

Love this… So one last one, mid shitty phish show. Quiet but deadly.
God’s Gonna Cut You Down – Johnny Cash
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eJlN9jdQFSc
Applies to 31 teams. Happy football, motherfuckers!

hells yeah
Slayer-War Ensemble
WWWWWAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!
http://youtu.be/jqnC54vbUbU
Nine Inch Nails-Wish
http://youtu.be/kuoFiIFkdAA
And to switch it up…Messiah-Thunderdome
http://youtu.be/BnbcHl0zcWc
IT’S LIKE I GET 4 PICKS NOW B/C THIS WAS MY 1ST CHOICE!
Last one: The Hives – Patrolling Days
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JanefBLU5MM
I NEVER WANTED TO STAND ON NO PEDESTAL MAN ‘CAUSE I WAS BORN TO BUILD MY OWN.
-Mike Mulatkey
A song about resistance that makes me wanna go to a parking lot with a sledgehammer: Calle 13 – El aguante
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LUk73pUe9i4
Ok, last pick. Tough one, because FUCK YEAH ROCK N ROLL.
The Walkmen – The Rat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWR1h-5EzUo
Choice 2: Queen’s “Hammer to Fall”. But you have to crank it so that the percussion comes in well.
https://youtu.be/JU5LMG3WFBw
Almost went with “Flash”, but it’s got that slow bit in the middle. Breaks the momentum
We also would have accepted “Tie Your Mother Down” or “Death on Two Legs”
Or One Vision, a live version.
And finally #1. Hopefully this is the song I’m singing at the end of the season.
And finally Tres:
Ministry – Jesus Built My Hotrod.
I propose that we use the evening open thread to include the other 297 songs that would fit this theme.
Works for me. I wanted to limit it to three to equalize everyone’s input and keep the playlist nice and tight, but I’ve certainly got a shitload of songs that didn’t make the final roster.
Please forgive me Slayer!
Got your back.
That’s a great trio of videos you picked out. Almost picked this one myself.
I won’t be around, but that sounds good to me. I would add the following, but will not link so as to keep the playlist tidy:
-Nirvana, Milk It
-Ministry, Stigmata
-White Stripes, Red Death at 6:14
-Metallica, Ride the Lightning
-Beastie Boys, Sabotage
-Jane’s Addiction, Mountain Song
-Metallica, Frantic
-Nirvana, Tourette’s
-L7, Shitlist
-Metallica, Creeping Death
-Nirvana, Stay Away
-Primus, Mr. Krinkle
-White Stripes, The Big Three Killed My Baby
-Jimmy Hendrix, Voodoo Child (slight return)
-Beastie Boys, Skillz to Pay the Billz
Solid list!
Fuck, I forgot Voodoo Child. Well played.

Did I ever tell you about the time I helped Eric Erlandson move a washing machine? Exciting, right?
http://img.memecdn.com/Go-On_o_128599.jpg
That’s pretty much the whole story. Someone was giving my ex-girlfriend an old washing machine for her new house and she needed help moving it, so he and I moved it up some stairs and into my truck. Afterwards she said “did you know that he started the band Hole?”
Unconventional, but here’s my pick:

It makes me want to run through a brick wall, but only in order to get away from it:
