I could have sworn McVie and me invented the term
“LSS (Last Song Syndrome),” but that is most likely reversihubris on my part. I
wonder if there’s a term for obsessively listening to one track over and over.
OSS? One Song Syndrome?

Mine is a mashup
courtesy of DJ iTrain. (I’m a big fan of the Mashup of the Week podcast.) I almost recognized the opening bars,
and when I heard the “It’s an eminence front” vocal I had to shake the dust off
my eighties mental cassette tapes. Holy neon pantaloons, was that Eminence
Front? The Who? It’s Hard? The tape I painstakingly rewound after the player ate
it and spat it out transformed into vermicelli? (It was a bonus that the DJ had
mashed it with the Beastie Boys’ Root Down, from Ill Communication, one of the
best albums of the nineties hands and shoulder pads
down.)
