Every week, I touch down from the real world to tell you people on the internet about the songs you should listen to in order to seem cool. You <\/span>do want to be cool, don’t you? If not, I mean that’s cool, too. Some of the coolest people don’t want to be cool at all. In fact, maybe the coolest thing is just being yourself. In which case, you should listen to these songs and just not make a big deal about it if you don’t like them. Your own taste is your own taste, you know?<\/p>\n
