    That just looks like an urban outfitters playlist :(

      Yeah, there’s this other karaoke outfit that only does songs by your band from high school. You should check them out, but show up early, because it’s really popular so it’ll be hard to get in. Check it out!

        Not sure what you were trying to accomplish with that one.

        Point: Let’s not lose our minds over Richard Hell being the most obscure artist on a karaoke list. Silly. Just because something is from Austin doesn’t mean it’s cool. It’s also a little weird seeing Sixteen Horsepower, Can, Pere Ubu, and others on a hipster karaoke song list…on ANY karaoke list.

        The best song you could sing at this thing would be Fly On The Wall because David Yow basically sounds drunk during that entire record.

        Anyway, cute.

    At least something is coming from Austin to San Francisco for a change.
