Music means a lot to people. Why is that? Music can spark many different thoughts and feelings in a person. One might remember a particular instance in their life. One may remember a certain movie. One could even remember a commercial. Commercials, for that matter, can spark someone into searching for a song, because they like the background music featured in the thirty second spot. Four commercials have led me to discovering some interesting songs - an Intel commercial led me to Basement Jaxx; a Hummer commercial led me to FC Kahuna; Vonage the 5.6.7.8's; and a Suzuki commercial to the Mooney Suzuki. While I was out running errands today I ended up having the desire to watch Back To the Future - Huey Lewis' Power of Love was playing on the radio in a business I stopped in. Currently I'm listening to Sheryl Crow. Several feelings are sparked there. There is one CD that I own, that I wouldn't have had I not wasted a part of my life with Sam. (wasted?)
Sam gave me this CD because she didn't really care for Sheryl, and the CD meant something else to her - it was given to her by someone - I can't remember who, or the story that went along with the disc. All I can remember is that she really didn't care for the disc, and gave it to me, for she thought that Sheryl's stylings were more of my taste anyway. She was right. So, when I listen to this CD, I think of Sam, and when I started to find my independence. I think I'm still trying. I had a friend sing a song off of this CD once at karaoke. I think about that too. It was hilarious watching and hearing her struggle to sing it, for she didn't know the song. I loved it. I love that song, too. I don't really know why. I guess it just fits me. One of my favorite's to rock to while cleaning the house - I've even repeated that one track several times over while cleaning before - all the while singing my heart out. If we still lived in the days of vinyl, I'm sure that the record would have well over a dozen pops and clicks. You know, french toast doesn't sound like a bad idea.

so, i'm like cleaning house now... and Da Da Da came into the rotation... now I've got the urge to watch BioDome... that, and to buy a Volkswagen... Hope Mr. Roboto doesn't come along any time soon... have to buy a VW then, too...
Carly Simon - Nobody Does it Better... Now I wanna watch Spy Who Loved Me... and because of that, now I've got an interest to watch Austin Powers: Spy Who Shagged Me... Damned Movies! Damned Music! ARRGH!
Cher - Believe... I hear this one, and remember an SNL skit... was during Weekend Update... Chris Kattan was doing a review on the song, and like went nuts, got into the groove, jumped on the desk, and started dancin'... I need to see if anyone has that on like YouTube or something... hell that, and any of Chris' Mango skits...
ah... this would be when i decided to start commenting on my own entries, rather than creating a new entry for related follow-up thoughts. the only draw-back... i end up having a large number of comments--most of which are mine!
