#30MoreSongsChallenge? Sure, why not? And this time I’ll do it the right way and make it all one thread. https://fa81.codeberg.page/30-more-songs-challenge/
#Day31 is the first song of my life that I remember. Leaving aside things like Twinkle Twinkle or Itsy Bitsy Spider, I think it might be “Signs,” which I just found out was by something called, embarrassingly, the Five Man Electrical Band. A relic of the earnest age I was born into.
#30MoreSongsChallenge #Day32: A song that stands for my favorite music genre.
AC/DC, "Highway to Hell." No apologies.
#30MoreSongsChallenge #Day33 : This song makes (made) me want to be a musician myself.
When I was 11, I saw Kiss playing "Rock & Roll All Nite" on TV and knew instantly what I wanted to do with my life.
#30MoreSongsChallenge #Day34: The Guily Pleasure--I'd never admit that I listen to this song.
No guilt! Ever! There's no music I love that I'd keep secret. I'm much more likely to grab you and sit you down and say "Listen to this! No, seriously, LISTEN to it!"
For example: "Someone to Call My Lover" by Janet Jackson. The acoustic guitar riff is from "Ventura Highway" by America, and the piano lick is from "Gymnopédie No. 1" by Erik Satie. It's SO FREAKIN COOL.
#30MoreSongsChallenge Skipping ahead to #Day38 : The Late Bloomer--I didn’t like this song at first, but now I do.
The first time I saw the great and magnificent #Pylon, at the Piedmont Arts Festival in #Atlanta in 1981, I thought they were awful. It took seeing them a couple more times and listening to them more deeply to realize that they were actually one of the greatest things ever.
#30MoreSongsChallenge #Day39 : A Fresh Favorite—A song that’s been released in the past year.
Holly Humberstone—“I Would Die 4 U”
#30MoreSongsChallenge #Day40: A song I like from a genre I usually don't like.
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, “Hoedown.” Fuck prog. Usually.
#30MoreSongsChallenge #Day41 : I feel I’m the only one listening to this.
Esteemed friends, allow me to introduce to you one of my favorite bands: the Midnight Evils. Sorry for making your wallpaper peel.
