Scribbles About Music: Shuffle Itunes and Review the first 7 songs

So here's a new idea that I'm doing now... I'm going to listen to the first 5 songs that shuffle on my apple music and let you know how they are... Alright!

1) Best of Wives and Best of Women from Hamilton Soundtrack- This is such a short song that I'll do the first 6 songs... I like this song a lot because it shows that Alexander and his wife are back together on good terms and it says a lot about their relationships and the situation Alexander is in with Burr in a quick 30 second song. The Line "Best of Wives and Best of Women" was in Alexander's letter to Eliza that he wrote before the duel to I think... it was definitely found in one of the letters he wrote to her... and I think its important that they included it in the play.

2) What Do You Mean by Justin Bieber- This is the reason for my Apple Music... I was too embarrassed to actually commit to this Bieber album... but I wanted it on my phone. I didn't actually like this one at first, but I grew to kind of love it. I like this Bieber Renaissance... and this song is the start of it... so its okay. Not my favorite... but I'll sing along and dance to it. And actually keep it on when its on the radio.

I still don't know why she's running out of time... is she dying?

3) Going Commando from The Deadpool Soundtrack- ... Maybe I should do 7 songs now because this isn't an actual song song... lol. I loved the music in Deadpool, and specifically I loved the Deadpool Rap... but I like listening to music with no lyrics because it makes me feel important and its good to listen to while writing and stuff... so if I were going to write something action-related, I'd listen to the deadpool soundtrack. If I wanted to write a horror story... maybe American Horror story... and that makes sense right? Lol. This isn't the best song on the soundtrack probably... but it is very action-y and if you listen to it at the gym... you'll feel cool. I like it.

4) Flowers in Your Hair by The Lumineers- I loved the Lumineers a while ago and I just re-downloaded the album because I love it so much. This song is the first song on the album I think and it is amazing. Again a short song... but longer than 30 Seconds... so I'm not adding another song. Lol. This is such a cute song... it makes me happy listening to it. I just like it. This it the kind of stuff you listen to when your in love and it just makes everything better.

5) The Black Death from Something Rotten- This is funny... another short song... I feel like this didn't shuffle that well... this is one of the funniest songs just listening to it with no context. In the play it was so funny too... I loved Something Rotten, totally my favorite musical I'd say... Its great.

6) Hood Politics by Kenderick Lamar- I couldn't really hear all the words he was saying and I got a little distracted by an article on celebrities that are my height and shorter... but this was a good song. I liked the sound of it and everything... lyrics are explicit... but Kenderick Lamar is pretty amazing.

7) Blackstar by David Bowie- This is a music video too... so I'm going to watch that. I like the song. Very different... even in his last days, he was making music that was different and groundbreaking and this video was absolutely beautiful... as is the song. I'm not 100% sure what it all means, what story its telling or anything... but the opening of the song kind of sounds like an old Bowie song that is skipping and its just a very dark song and a dark video... and a lot of it just sounds like noise but when you hear Bowie sing... its magical. He's amazing. My absolute favorite singer of all time... and the man can do no wrong.

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
