First 20 Songs on Shuffle
Not sure if this is some kind of exercise in others evaluating my coolness, but I saw a hashtag on Twitter, and who can ignore those? My #First20SongsonShuffle: 1. Weezer – Say it Ain’t So If you don’t like this song, you are crazy. 2. Thrush Hermit – Skip the Life We’re doing great so far – indie kid cred up the wazoo, at least for the late ’90s. 3. Metric – On the Sly I like Metric but I can’t say I’ve listened to … Continue reading
Elect Phillip Phillips 2012
Skip this post if you’re not into the reality shows, kids. Some might say I have a few too many awful television guilty pleasures. The important part is that they are all seasonal competition shows, so I view them about once a week for a couple months at a time and it’s not interfering with exercise and reading, my two other big hobbies (of the year so far). Okay, enough justification. I said it last year. If they vote this guy off, I will never … Continue reading

Why You Cry
Ever hear of the ‘appoggiatura‘? Interesting article about what makes us want to bawl our eyes out while listening to pretty, pretty songs. I’m willing to bet Fleet Foxes know about this phenomena and purposely lace each heart-tugging mountaineer folk tune with a quota of 10 or more. From the linked article: Twenty years ago, the British psychologist John Sloboda conducted a simple experiment. He asked music lovers to identify passages of songs that reliably set off a physical reaction, such as tears or goose … Continue reading

Like a Hurricane
Neil Young (rules) – Like a Hurricane Please keep in mind that when I don’t use the “video” tag, I usually haven’t watched the video but have instead cheated Youtube into letting me spread word of a great song. To that you might say “gasp!” or you might otherwise say “There are better methods of posting songs onto your blog”. Well, that’s what you get.
