TTT #52: Personal Musical Milestones

One Year.  This marks the 52nd playlist I have posted to this site.  Sadly, it was supposed to be a family blog.  I feel, at times, very saddened because this was supposed to be something my sisters and I did to keep in touch with each other, family and the world as a whole.  I feel as though I have taken it over.  I guess that is because I have taken it over.  They don't post anything at all anymore.  I have thought about moving everything over to another address so that maybe, just maybe they would post again.  I would like said sisters to weigh in on this, or at least start posting again...

Anyway, for this playlist I thought long and hard about what I could do to commemorate a year of music and playlists.  I thought about songs about one year, songs that came out when I was one.  Boring stuff like that.  then I decided I would post songs that mark musical milestones throughout my life.  You will see this list is heavily weighted towards 90's music, as that is the decade in which in designed most of my musical tastes.   The list ranges from when I was at least 5, possibly younger the mid 2006ish range.  It is by no means a comprehensive list of music that I enjoy.  Nor is it all of the genres I enjoy.  It is just a few stories from my life that mark what music I listened to, and why.

Enjoy.  Thanks for listening.  =)

The Shop

Red Red Wine - UB40


Consumer Electronics was the name of the electronics repair shop my Dad owned when I was a little Kenny.  I don't remember most things about it, as I was young, and the day to day operations of Dad's work weren't on my radar.   I remember it was in a  building across from Casa Manana.  My mom ran the front of the shop.  There were two guys in the back that worked on the stuff, one of them being my father.

The fondest memories I have of the shop are of the place next door that had awesome hamburgers and indoor mini golf.  I remember there being a box in which you deposited quarters and go to take a bag of chips.  Chili Cheese Fritos being my go to snack.  I remember dropped parachute shaped packing peanuts from atop my father's work bench to see them fall slow.  The thing I remember most though, is dancing with my mother after the shop closed to this song.  I recently (less than a week) found out that my mother hates this song because the other tech in the shop would always play it.  Doesn't matter.  Still love it.



My First Record Player

Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

My first record player sat on a shelf in my room when I was around six or seven.  It looked nothing like the picture above.   I didn't own any records of my own but my parents had tons.  Some Michael Jackson, some old country, lots of folk and random bits from the 60's and 70's.  This one was one of my favorites.  I assume for the bass lines alone.  I was such a badass.



DO you have the time?

Basket Case - Green Day

Some of my early obsession with MTV was due to that angsty alternative everyone listened to in the 90's.  I liked grunge just fine but I think most of me liked the "alternative" stuff just a little bit more.  First time I ever heard the term basket case.  Which I now know to mean a soldier who has lost both arms and both legs and is incapable of moving around independently.  Damn...



Aaaaaa Liiiiikely  Stoooooory

Spiderwebs - No Doubt

I thought, think, Gwen Stefani is extremely hot.  Back then though, whew, she rang my teenage bell.  She was blond, had bangs, was kinda punk.  She looks like she could be sweet and bash your face in at the same time.  Love it.



International Racing Of Champions

Of Wolf And Man - Metallica

The first time I heard this music they call "metal" I was riding with my sister and her husband in the backseat of his IROC Camaro.  At least that's what I remember.  I think we were at a car wash.  Whatever.  I heard the black album for the first time and that's when I started enjoying the more heavier things life had to offer.  While I would not stay with it, or dive farther into it, I still like to pull out some real metal every now and then.




Is He Upside Down?

Shoots & Ladders - Korn

Say what you want about Korn, go ahead, I don't listen to them anymore, but they definitely carved out their own little niche.  I suppose you can say they are the fathers of Nu-Metal, which, whatever.  I remember them as the metal band that their first song I heard started with bag pipes.  Bag pipes + metal = mind blown.  I remember my middle school friend JB and I were watching MTV at like 3 in the morning when we first saw it.  He immediately fell in love and it marked his descent in to the ultra metal he would come to love in high school.  For me, I just thought it was kinda cool.  BUT it showed me that you could mix genres and to hell with what people thought about it.


I bought it for the music...really...

Pipeline - The Chantay's

I really did buy this CD for the music on it.  It stands today as one of the best compilations of surf music I have ever bought.  I love surf music.  Always have.  Virtuostic instrumentals played at blinding speed or just a mellow gallop?  Big Kahunas.  Who doesn't love that?!

Plus it's Jenny McCarthy in a bikini straddling a beach ball AND there was a poster...pft...come on...



Ryan & Sale

Down On The Corner - CCR

I actually got to see Creedence Clearwater Revisisted live when I was a younger Kenny.  There was a time in my life when I thought that album there was the greatest album I have ever laid my hands on.  CCRevisted was a let down because the lead singer was different and the drummer was an asshole when we asked for his autograph.  Douche.  I would still go see John Fogerty live, the rest of em? meh.



I think I'll learn Guitar

Layla - Derek & The Dominos

When I was around 15 (ish) My dad took me to New Orleans to see Eric Clapton play at the super dome.  I think we had a great time, I did at least.  The Super Dome is a frightening building to climb the steps of.  It was also around the time that Eric Clapton did MTV Unplugged so they played the acoustic version of Layla.  Wasn't a fan of all that, at the time.  Great show though.  I listened to Clapton so much back then that I am completely incapable of listening to any now.  I still change it.  Especially if it's Sunshine of Your Love or Cocaine *shudder* I just can't anymore.  Too.  Many.  Times.



I Don't Even Drink

One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer - George Thorogood


This was one of those songs that when my dad would go to Houston, which was pretty often, we would stop off and a huge music store (remember those?) and hunt through their CDs for the stuff I couldn't find here in po dunk.  Which was plenty.  I really enjoyed those trips with my dad.  Computer stuff, road trip food, Chinese food (the real stuff, not the take out stuff) oldies on the radio.  Good times.



It's So

Say It Ain't So - Weezer

This album showed me that nerds could be cool.



A Whole Day...wasted...

Bullet With Butterfly Wings - The Smashing Pumpkins

I first heard the ass end of this song as the video was going off on MTV.  That's back when MTV only played videos kids.  I often spent my late nights just watching music videos.  I woke up generally early one summer.  Probably some where in the 8am range.  I decided I was going to watch MTV until I heard this song so I could right down the album and go buy it.  That's what ya had to do back then because there was no Google or the World Wide Web.  I stayed awake all day.  Never fell asleep once.  Just blindly, endlessly watching MTV.  Around 4pm I hadn't seen hide nor hair of the video.  I was getting annoyed.  I was irritable.  I had to pee.  5pm.  NEED to pee.  6pm Peeing, can't wait. 

From the bathroom I hear the opening chords of the song.  I was so pissed (pun intended).  I caught the ass end again, but at least I got the album name, and bought the album and relished in one of the greatest double albums of all time.



Late Night

Rumble In Brighton - Stray Cats

I was watching some late night show one time and the stray cats were on there playing this song.  That lead me to liking Brian Setzer which led me to liking Brian Setzer Orchestra later in life and opened the doors to more swing and rockabilly.  Genres open wide.



8th Grade Band Trip

Bulls On Parade - Rage Against The Machine

If you had just bought a brand spanking new Mercedes Coach bus, like our bus driver had, would the first thing you decide to book with it be 75+ middle schoolers for a 3 day band trip from Southwest Louisiana to Dallas, Texas?  Not if you weren't stupid.  But this guy did.  We got in so much trouble when we got back because, 13 year olds being what they are, practically destroyed the bus.  I think he may have actually decided on a different profession after that trip.  No lie.  They were terrible.  All I did was sit and listen to my newest CD I just bought.  Evil Empire.  It had cussing and all kinds of political songs on it.  It was amazing.

It was sold to 13 year old Kenny by a guy at SoundShop in a Dallas mall.  When he asked if I was 17 he laughed then he said "I'm just fuckin' with ya, you look like you can handle it..."

Thanks Dallas CD shop guy. 


Rap now?

California Love - 2Pac & Dr. Dre

Since Rage Against The Machine is very rap-esque.  It opened the door to rap.  Probably not this song, but I like listening to this song because it's jammin.  I have always been a bit more West Coast rap than East. 

It's beyond thunderdome bitch.



EDM (Electronic Dance Music)

Breathe - The Prodigy

This song introduced me to crazy hair styles, British electronic music, and the movie Hackers.  I know this wasn't IN hackers.  But their other album was featured heavily and I loved it.  I still love a good electro-pop song. 

When I was listening to this I thought the coolest thing you could be was a roller blading hacker that played video games and listened to heavy electronic rave music.  I was right.



A Little Heavier

Chop Suey - System Of A Down

I learned later in life that this song has lyrics pulled straight from the #1 best selling book of all time:  The Bible.  I didn't know it at the time I just thought it was pretty jamming track.  Unfortunately it took me into what I now refer to as douche music.  I don't think SoAD is douche music.  But it lead me (somehow) to Creed, Staind & Nickleback.  All of which I have rehab-ed from.  Thank god.



You Know Who You Look Like?

A Favor House Atlantic - Coheed & Cambria

I have heard the question 'Do you know who you look like?' more times than I care to think about.  Changes with the times.  When Lost was big, it was Hurley.  Now that Duck Dynasty is big, it's Willie.  I can accept all of these things.  Although most times it's you look like that other big dude with curly hair and a beard. 

Whatever, it led me to Coheed so I will never complain. 




Shows

Gravel - Ani DiFranco

This song reminds me of some of my favorite (and least favorite) times.  Playing shows with Breanna was just a blast.  Sad to think that I won't ever be able to do it again.  We hated some of the songs we played but I will always look back with fondness.  I think those few years will always be my best.



Just Because

The Saga Begins - Weird Al Yankovic

This isn't really a musical milestone so much as I just wanted to put this on here to tell a story.  I read somewhere that Don McLean (the writer singer of American Pie, which this song is a parody of) liked this song so much, he would sing it to his daughters.  He go so used to singing it to them that sometimes when he is singing American Pie live he sings The Saga Begins instead.  Which is just great.

I hope to meet Weird Al one day he seems like a great guy.  Also, a really great musician.  He doesn't get near enough props for being able to pull off all of the styles he does and for lasting as long as he has.  Proves there is massive talent there.  Not anyone can do a decent parody.




Well that's it folks.  Thanks for listening this past year and tell me what you think.

TTT #51: Songs Of Grand Theft Auto

Well due to an internet problem at my apartment complex, many long telephone discussions with Suddenlink,  and the DMCA, I am a day late.  That really bothers me.

BUT I have Grand Theft Auto V.  Which makes up for it entirely.  I have loved this series of games ever since I was a teenager and they just keep getting better and better.

I thought what better way to celebrate GTA V making $800 Million in their first day of sales but with a playlist.  So here are my favorite songs from the modern GTA games (Sans 1 and 2).  Enjoy...

Also, you should visit Patrick Brown's DeviantArt page.  He is the fine illustrator of the this week's cover photo.  Give him some love.  He is a genius.

The Silent Loner

Fade Away -  Craig Gray


This is by far my favorite song from Grand Theft Auto III.  Why?  I think it is just the perfect driving at night song.  It just has that mellow cruise the city and watch the stars kind of vibe.  It will always remind me of spending a lot of time trying to do the special jumps.  Over and over and over and over...


Libiamo Ne'Lieti Calici - The Three Tenors


There is just something oddly therapeutic about turning all of the SFX in a game off and just going around blowing things up and running from the cops listening to Opera.  I really, really, really wish they would bring the Opera station.  We have so many rap and electronica stations.  Just gimme back ONE little Opera station.  I can always remember speeding through the Italian side of town after you pissed off the Mafia and if your forgot they would shoot you and blow the car up...*sigh* good times...

Not NOT Tony Montana

Four Little Diamonds - Electric Light Orchestra

I think this may actually be the song that finally convinced me that ELO was a band of Geniuses.  ELO is just really great complex pop music.  Plus I have used the beginning of this song to start off a band more times than is healthy.  Okay...after 4....FOUR....


Tempted - Squeeze

This song from some reason always reminds me of taking the left hand curve around the island towards downtown.  You could drive up the staircase to avoid having to go all the way around.  Then you go to the open door to the news station.  Take the elevator up to the top and helicopt (yes it's a verb now) your way around the map jamming "Tempted by the fruit of another..."...


Africa - Toto

Always a good song to drive to.  I think the people in charge of the soundtracks for GTA really know how to pick great driving songs.  I will also say that the soundtrack for Vice City is probably the best soundtrack for any entertainment property.  It's insane really.  The very best.  Africa will always remind me of driving around the beach in a Banshee.  I miss Vice City.  Vice City was the only GTA I hooked up to speakers so I could have the music blast me in the face super loud.  Mmmmmm hearing loss....

I Know A CJ

1979 - The Smashing Pumpkins

 Melancholy and The Infinite Sadness is by far one of the best albums of all time.  Definitely in the top 5 double albums of all time.  I remember the first time I heard this song I thought there was something wrong with my CD player and that's why it sounded so jacked at the beginning of the song.  Alas, no, it was just another of Billy Corgan's quirky musings.  Great band.  Great song.  Great game.



Three Cigarettes In An Ashtray - Patsy Cline

San Andreas will definitely go down as the game that I tried to let me learn Casino table games and 
the game where I listened to too much country music.  I will say that I was glad that San Andreas, and V for that matter, did actual country.  Today's country is pop rock.  I have said it time and time again:  Darius Rucker has been playing the same style of music since the mid 90's (nothing wrong with that, Aerosmith does it)  in the 90's he was pop rock, now he's country.  Come on...no sense...

Eastern Block Badass

Schweine - Glukoza

A very annoying song to some.  It was the song that introduced the GTA IV world of Liberty City to me.  Therefore it will always remind me of bowling with Roman, Ricky Gervais, and just cruising people around in my cab...Eins, Zwei, Drei...


Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy

Do I really need to explain why this is so fantastic?  I think not.  It's a game about a Jail break in Grand Theft Auto.  Move along.  Move. Along.

Three Way New Hotness

Gin & Juice - Snoop Doggy Dog

I think this soundtrack is a nice step up (for me at least) from GTA IV.  The classic rock is an early front runner and I was sold on West Coast Classics once I heard lovely track.  I am not super far in the game yet, but this is an early favorite of mine.


Night Moves - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band

Ahh a mellow song about teenage sexual exploration.  The perfect fit for a game with an old crook, a meth dealer and an up-and-coming criminal as its stars.  I love Bob Seger.  I am going to seriously look forward to blowing things up to the sweet soulful crooning of Bob and the Boys.



That's it for this week folks.  Comment.  Give me ideas.  I need em. 

Until next week...KKNY signing off...

TTT #50: Oldies That Are Kinda Messed Up When You Pay Attention To The Lyrics

Fifty episodes.  Crazy.  I still don't know what I will do for the 52nd.  I feel like that will mark a year and we should do something special.  Hmm...

Anyway, this week I decided to do a playlist of songs from the 50's and 60's that, once you dig a little deeper, might not be about what you think, or are a little darker than you had originally thought.  This was an interesting one.  Enjoy.

Beauty Is Overrated

If You Wanna Be Happy - Jimmy Soul (Lyrics)

This song, if you don't know the lyrics, might seem like a guide to happiness.  Which it is.  However, the song's advice is to never marry a pretty woman as she will leave you broken and alone.  You should always marry an ugly woman because she can cook and you are the only one that will want her.

That's messed up.



Here, There...Everywhere

The Wanderer - Dion & The Belmonts (Lyrics)

This song is about a guy who goes from town to town using women and leaving them without even caring to learn their names.  Plenty of that in today's music, but the 50's?  Geez.  I thought the 50's was all McCarthyism and rainbows.

In the words of Jay Z, an obvious adherent to the Dion music model, "Thug em, F**k em, Love em, Leave em, but I don't F**king feed em."  True now as it was in the 50's apparently.



Tit For Tat

Runaround Sue - Dion & The Belmonts (Lyrics)

I wonder if Dion was the Wanderer before or after Runaround Sue crushed his heart and went tramping around town like a bicycle.  It seems working your way through many "beaus" & "skirts" was just the way it was done.  Plus, let me just say look at those guys.  You didn't need to be pretty in the 50's, you needed to be talented.  Now, just the opposite.  Food for thought.



*violins*

Mr. Lonely - Bobby Vinton (Lyrics)

Now most people who know this song know it's about being lonely.  Either that or they really like Akon.  Anyway, it is about a soldier that is off to war and receives no letters.  No one cares.  That's why he's lonely.  It is plainly obvious, he's not hiding it with clever word play.  Still.  Sad as shit.  I wonder if he was ever actually a soldier...|Google Break|...He was.  2 years in the Army.  He was a chaplain's assistant though, is that really that scary do you think?  Doubtful he was sitting in a foxhole somewhere being all sad...

I'm callin bullshit.

It's gets a little darker here on out...



Brender & Eddie

The Leader Of The Pack - The Shangri-Las (Lyrics)


This song is about a girl who dates a guy who is the leader of his motorcycle gang.  Her father disapproves, as any father would, and tells her to break up with him.  So the, obviously still in High School, Betty breaks it off with Jimmy.   He cries a little bit, goes driving off in the rain and dies.  Yep, dead as a door nail.  Donor-cycle.


Who knew that a relationship with the leader of a motorcycle gang that you met in a candy store would end in heart ache?

Side Fact:  A young Billy Joel played session piano on the demo tracks for Leader of the Pack. Noodle Stories.



Ahhhh Racism

Running Bear - Johnny Preston (Lyrics)

This song is about two Native Americans that go by the name of Running Bear and Little White Dove.  All of the stereotypical Native American stereotypes that litter this song aside, it's a typical 50's love story.  Seeing as how neither of them could swim, or wait for that matter, they decided to jump into an unswimmable torrent of death and destruction.   What do you know they died and went to "that happy hunting ground".  Terrible.

Honorable Racist-y Mention:  Ling Ting Tong - The Five Keys



Death Deather Deathest

Last Kiss - J. Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers (Lyrics)


This here song, famously covered by Pearl Jam, is about a couple that went on a date, got into a wreck and with blood running into the guy's eyes and the girl's head in his arms they kissed their final kiss and she shed her mortal coil.  That's right, dead.  More death.   Seems to be a lot of that going around.  Plus he also believes she will be going to heaven, so he has to be good so he can see her again one day.  I'm not sure that's a good reason to be good.  You should just be good.  Just saying...

Doesn't that drummer look chipper as hell?



Cowboy Classic

El Paso - Marty Robbins - (Lyrics)


Unrequited love.  Guys always get in to deep shit over unrequited love.  So he was in love with a bar maid in El Paso.  She didn't feel the same.  Another guy came in, was drinking with his Mexican hottie so he challenged him to a duel to impress her.  Shot him dead right there.  Then he freaked and ran.  Real manly.  The town formed a posse and chased him.  So he thought his best course of action after being chased by a murderer-chasing-lynching posse.  He probably could have gotten away...

But he had to go back.  Had to see his lady.  So he got a "deep burning pain" in his side.  Know what that was?  A bullet.  Yeah, he went back to the city where the posse was.  They shot him a bunch of times and then he as he lay in the dirt dying Felina rolls up and kisses him as he died.  Un. Requited. Love.  It's a bitch.




Well that's it this week.  Let me know what you think...thought...whatever...

TTT #48 & 49: Essentials For Those That Hate Classical

After last week's migraine debacle I decided to do a mega playlist this week.  Mainly to make up for lost music time.

This list, obviously, is what I believe to be essential songs for people who can't really get into classical music, or orchestral music in general.  Most of these you will recognize, even if you don't know the name.  I hope you enjoy where this takes us.

Thar be epic facial hair ahead...beware...



TTT #48 & 49 Playlist

I Can't Do That Dave

Also Sprach Zarathustra - Richard Strauss

If it's good enough for Kubrick to open an classic Science Fiction movie, it's good enough to start this blog.

Good opener, right?


Shall We Dance?

Habanera From Carmen - Georges Bizet

If I ever see a woman in a fancy red dress, odds are this is playing in my mind.  I feel it is your duty, as a fancy dressed woman, to dance to this song when you are fancied up, but only in red.  For more fancy fancy attire...read on...there's a particularly fancy bit in the middle.



The Buildup

In The Hall Of The Mountain King - Edvard Grieg

...and the award from composer who totally doesn't look like Mark Twain at all goes to...not Edvard Grieg.  Sorry Edvard.  Exit stage left please...



Let's do the CANCAN

Can-Can From Orpheus In The Underworld - Jacques Offenbach


You will notice with most of pictures of the composers in this list that they look like American Presidents from the 19th century.  This one of ole Jack here is him lounging.  Though he looks a little old for it, this is actually his High School prom picture.  He dumped his date 3 minutes before taking this picture because she said she thought that Hip-Hop/Country was a really deep genre and had a lot to offer the world of music.

That's why he is smirking.



HI! HO!

William Tell Overture Finale - Gioachino Rossini

His name is Armie Hammer.  I mean come on, that's just fantastic.




Never Been You Say?

Entry of The Gladiators - Julius Fucik

My girlfriend has never been to the Circus.  Her mom boycotted it on animal cruelty grounds, which I can respect.  I probably would have too, as a kid, if I had known such things took place.  A the naivete of youth.  However, the circus was a hell of a lot of fun to me when I was a kid and I always enjoyed it when my dad would take me.  I also enjoyed the time my mother took me to Disney On Ice.  That was pretty epic too.  I still have the Chip (from Beauty & The Beast) SnoCone cup.  Thanks for being cool Mom & Dad.  This is also in no way meant to portray Erin's mother as "uncool" for not letting her go to the circus.  Erin went to Europe, alone, when she was only 13.  So it's not like she was "super strict mom", just no circuses, circusi, circosa...moving on...



Shit's About To Get Fancy

Eine Kleine Nactmusik - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The name Wolfgang never ceases to remind of the movie Explorers.  The one about the kids that build a spaceship out of a cart from a Tilt-A-Whirl and meet some aliens.  Ahh the plots of the 80's, so grand.  I still want a foot wide NASA sticker, I need that.



Mmmmmm Yeeeeeeeeesssss...

Minuet - Luigi Boccherini

See that fella there?  He's fancy.  If you want to be fancy and throw a fancy dress party like an adult.  Ya know the kind with real glasses, tiny foods and people quietly chattin in the corners of your penthouse.  The next four songs are meant just for that.  Fancy shit.



Out on The Lawn

Spring - Antonio Vivaldi

Is he about to shred on that violin Paganinni style? Hell no!  This is a fancy dress party that has meandered out on to the lawn.  You have lights about, people are wearing really poofy dresses.  Marie Antoinette type stuff.  Horse Duvor?



A Wedding?

Canon In D - Johann Pachelbel

That awkward looking guy there is the one responsible for hearing this song at every damn wedding you go to.  Oddly enough he is also responsible for most of the "sounds the same" type pop you've heard in your life.  Truly.




Bringing It Back Down

Cello Suite No. 1 - Johann Sebastian Bach

Heh.




Fav

Dance of The Reed Flutes - Pyotr Ilvich Tchaikovsky

He totally looks like someone that did a lot of drugs and wrote really deep, philosophical books in his day.  Yet the music for The Nutcracker and Swan Lake is so light and airy.  Weird.




SneakySneaky

Hungarian Dance No. 5 - Johannes Brahms

I chose this solely because it reminded me of Cronk sneaking in The Emperor's New Groove.  This is just the perfect sneaking music.  Moving slow...then quick...then slow...then quick...



Diamonds Are Forever

Allegretto - Karl Jenkins

I wonder how Captain Kangaroo feels about his music being associated with Diamond commercials.  I wonder how he feels about blood diamonds.  Sierra Leone?



Knock Knock

5th Symphony - Ludwig Van Beethoven

This song is about death knocking on your door and you looking throughout the events of your life.  Brings a new feeling to the song when you listen with that thought.




That's Some Epic Stuff Right There

Intro To 'Carmina Burana' - Carl Orff

Of course the clean shaven one writes the creepiest song on the list.  Never trust men without facial hair.  You could end up in a movie scene where this song is the most apt choice for the events taking place.




Speed!

The Ride Of The Valkyries - Richard Wagner

If you want a reason to speed down the highway, put this song on.  Tell me if you don't start going over the speed limit.  It's almost guaranteed.  You will feel like each car you pass is a persona triumph.

BE the Valkyrie!




Haunting

Toccata & Fugue in D Minor - Johann Sebastian Bach


If you ever get the chance to sit at a pipe organ, play the beginning of this song.  Learn it on the off chance you might, might, sit at a pipe organ.  I did.  It was fantastic.



My Absolute Favorite 'Classical' Song

Adagio For Strings - Samuel Barber

This is the song I want played at my funeral.  I just love this song so much.  It is so very slow.  Put on headphones and get lost in this song.  It's amazing.

So much emotion in so few notes.  Genius.



That's it for this week folks.  Hope this playlist made up for last week!
