Not having listened to or been exposed to Michael Jackson lately, I have absolutely no clue why I woke up today with my head going like "Billie Jean is not my lover, she's just a girl who claims I am the one..."! But I did. Again, I should stop trying to find a reason behind what's going on in my head musically, but it's so peculiar that it makes me curious all the time! Is it s sign telling me I should go do a dance night out while I am still "young enough"? Even with the sore throat and usual malaise that came back to me in these busy, busy days? I wonder...! Well, in case you guys can go out dance to Billie Jean in my stead for the time being, I will join you asap!!
Let's get back to my current playlist for a while... it's getting so hard to post music I'm discovering lately, as I'm listening to so many other things I already knew and getting so much inspiration out of it that I can't complain at all! Today after another boring day at the office, I rushed out to reach the comic book shop in time before closing, and I got there with an impressive 6 minutes lead, I found it was close already... and had been all day long, as it remains closed on Tuesday... good for me!! I'm gonna make it up tomorrow if I find in myself the strength to get back there again!
Wow, so many songs to post and so little time to post them! Last night I cam out quite early (compared to the usual) but I didn't get to write on the blog anyway... now I'm on a 2-week off work holiday and well... I don't know if I'm gonna have much more time to write here, as I already have a few things to do and maybe I'll organize a trip too! Anyway, one (or two) thing(s) at a time. Let' begin with the news that I have finished compiling my current playlist, the eleventh of 2015. And then let's go on and post a song from my previous one!! As you might have noticed, I'm in love with 'Wild things run fast' and so expect a few more songs out of it! This is one of the first favourites, because you're so squared but, baby, I don't care!!
This hard week of work has come to an end, but the journey is far from over yet: tomorrow another early-morning rise-up for a trip to Ayutthaya with my colleagues, and then three more weeks of visit next week... let's hope that at least on Sunday I'll be able to get some rest!! You all have a good night underneath the streetlights!
The path through some artists' discography has been a blissful, continuous discovery, with me eager to get to the next album and never getting enough of the previous ones. I got quite a good strike of bands and songwriters that this happened with, but then things started to slow down and I found myself facing giants of the pop-rock music scene of the second half of last century and things have not been running so smoothly, rather... I found myself stumbling with people who were taking so many steps forward (or sidewise) and with people who have been releasing music some decades ago... be it the time lag and the fact that music and tastes have changed with time, be it that I can't connect so well with some kinds of music... anyway I am making a big effort to go on with some discographies and Joni Mitchell is a great example of that. I loved her first albums, but then her music starting getting really heavy for me, it was not a pleasure to go and listen to her albums, rather it was a pain. But I am determined to go on, because you never know, good things might be waiting for you on the way! And this 'Wild things run fast', who takes its name from the track I'm sharing with you, is one of them!! A lighter jazz, more enjoyable, like a perfect soundtrack for a sunset in front of the sea with a cocktail in your hand... it came at the right time!! So, given that it's summer and these kind of moments are not so far away from us, maybe you'll get the chance to play some lounge-fit music too and sip your Mohitos or Tequila Sunrises with more pleasure!!
