Let’s discuss any and all music here. You’ve got a new artist who’s rocking your boat that you want to talk about? Post a video! Found out about that unearthed Coltrane album that has the jazz freak in you losing your mind? Lay it out for us! Do you have a theory about what your favorite band might do for their next album? Let’s hear it! Anything and everything music-related goes here.
This week’s prompt: The dreaded earworm
Do they drive you insane? What starts them? What stops them? Is it from something you like or can’t stand? Do they recur or do you get a lot of variety?
A fun one that happens to your music thread host is that the GBV song “Motor Away” pops in my head whenever I’m about to head off on a long, fun drive. And it will stay there until I play it. Always in the car and at the start of the trip. I’m not the biggest GBV fan, but this song captures that feeling of the wide open, new scenery, and endless possibilities.
One that drives me insane is the first six notes of Tull’s “Aqualung.” You know it. “Sitting on the park bench.” However, the lyrics become whatever I am doing at that moment in time, and tends to happen while doing chores, though sometimes randomly as well. “Vacuuming the carpet”, “Wiping up the counter”. You get it. Unfortunately so do I. And I’m not even a fan. It’s maddening.
So tell us about that one song or phrase that just won’t go away. Or just talk about your week in music. Your faves and raves. And as always, rock out with yr guac out.
