Favorite Music Video

Day 70: “What’s your favorite music video of all time?” Wow! I have so many videos to choose from. MTV was there for me as a kid. I saw some of the earliest videos on the channel. I saw video kill the radio star. I saw Michael Jackson make history as one of the first […]

“California” by Phantom Planet

Day 69: “Listen to the song “California” by Phantom Planet. What does it make you think of?” I have never heard of this one. Oh, it sounds vaguely familiar, but not really. It is from the 2002 album The Guest. What is really funny is that actor Jason Schwartzman was on drums until 2003 and […]

Current Favourites

Day 68: “What are your current favorite songs?” I have been disappointed in a lot of music lately. I kind of got stuck in the past a bit by doing the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You DIe. I go through the weekly new song on Spotify, but only a few songs are not […]

I Wish I Had Written

Day 67: “Write about a song that you wish you yourself have written.” Stevie Nicks has some of the best lyrics ever. I wish I had written “Landslide” one of her best written songs. She is a poet and a priestess of nothing. Nicks wrote the song when she was song, but the song sounds […]

Favourite Film Soundtrack

Day 66: “Write about your favorite movie soundtrack.” In general, if you asked me, I would say that I don’t like Film Soundtracks. As with every rule I have there are some exceptions. There have been a few throughout my life that I have liked a lot. It is between three albums: “Saturday Night Fever” […]

It’s Britney!

Day 65: “Write about your favorite Britney Spears song. Or, if you don’t like Britney, write about one of her songs that you can tolerate the most.” I think I only know of one Britney Spears song or I can at least name one song. I had to spend time listening to some of her […]

Hate Songs

Day 64: “What’s the one song that you absolutely hate?” The list of songs that I absolutely hate is very long. Almost every country song. Almost every rap/hip-hop song. Almost every Spanish song. There are some exceptions to every list, of course. In the country category, I like a few Dolly Parton songs and maybe […]

Breakup Song

Day 63: “Think about your last breakup. What song do you think should have been playing at that moment?” I have never really had a breakup. I haven’t really dated anyone in the long term tradition sense of dating. I have mostly been alone all my life. I tried a few times, but only because […]

My Life In Sounds

Day 62: Write songs that you want to be part of the soundtrack of your life.” I feel that I did that already in the last few days. Instead of writing about it, I will present it. The link below is to my Spotify list called My Life In Sounds. The songs are in somewhat […]

Happy Song

Day 61: “What song really makes you happy?” So many songs make me feel happy, yet sad. It is a thin like between the two extremes for me. I can reach either quickly and lose it quicker. One of the happiest songs ever is ABBA’s “Dancing Queen“. They made some really incredibly upbeat happy music. […]
