This song first came out in 2016
But it feels just as relevant here in 2024.
I have long loved Mac (Superchunk and Portastatic frontman), Merge Records, really anything that the Chapel Hill Gang does is gold.
And as we all know, nothing gold can stay. 😔
"Happy new year, it can't be this one again."

There will never be another song like "Love It If We Made It By 1975." it was released in 2018 as a single and then included in their critically acclaimed album "A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships." It remains impactful and the topics are still relevant in 2024, especially for its raw portrayal of social and political issues like racial injustice, political corruption, and environmental crises. Its message of resilience and unity continues to resonate especially after the election, and sadly we still face these issues the song states to this day however it's an amazing song that is worth a listen.

"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
