Song of the Moment CIX: My Chemical Romance’s “Teenagers”

Today, I randomly remembered an old conversation with Mr. Saints, a high school classmate I never talked to during that phase. In 2016, when he learned from my Facebook posts that my favorite band is the legendary alternative/hard rock band Foo Fighters, he sent a message, then we switched on our fanboy modes, and we talked about our favorite songs and albums.

During the conversation, he said this:

Mr. Saints: I wish we could’ve been friends during high school because I only knew a few people who listened to Foo Fighters while everyone else was into emo.

And then I frankly told them this:

Song of the Moment CVIII: Dave Grohl’s “How Do You Do”

Today is the 57th birthday of Dave Grohl, the frontman of my all-time favorite band, Foo Fighters, and one of my personal heroes. For tonight’s Song of the Moment, I almost chose a Nirvana, Foo Fighters, or even a Them Crooked Vultures track, but then I chose an underrated deep cut instead.

Song of the Moment CVII: Foo Fighters’ “Asking for a Friend”

If you’re going to ask me what my favorite song of 2025 is, it’s definitely the second Foo Fighters song they released that year, “Asking for a Friend”. I love the music so much that I wrote a love letter about it, and I have heard it 700+ times as I type this entry. (Thank you for keeping track, Last.fm.) I also assigned it as one of my alarm clock tunes along with “Run” (my favorite track from the album Concrete and Gold) and “The Pretender” (my all-time favorite song). Those are good reasons already for it to be my Song of the Moment.
