Soundtracked

Rated: GC · Book · Personal · #2072393

The catch-all for items related to and/or inspired by the music that shaped me.

Music has played a role in nearly every situation of my life. This is where I'll be collecting items inspired by those moments- poems, lyrics, blog entries- the soundtrack of me.

I may also contribute blog-style entries here from time to time:

In honor of that time they release a movie about me...

And I'm grandpa.

It's been years and I'm getting long in the tooth. David (Tor), Melinda, Ken, Barbara... dead and gone.

I'm still here, ancient saggy flesh and all.

I hang on because I can't let go.

I maxed out two blogs but then they changed the criteria. "L'aura del Campo"

with 105k views! is still open for business. I post poetry there now.

I go in cycles. More contests in June. July? Worn out. I do blog and I do get comments! So that's something. It's not like Old Blogville though when folks would just blog for the sheer joy of it!

Linda, Mavis, Nada, Jamie... Partyof5... so many memories.

I try not to think of Cheektowaga, but when I do, I think of you.

Still remember your address on Penora.

Awwww! I think it took me a little longer than that to become one of the "cool kids"

!! Now I'm more like the cool kid's drunk uncle

So glad you're back, lizco252isback!

Blogging now has been helpful for me. It's writing without the creative bit and it's been helpful. Especially with everything going on. I had always hoped to get into blogging, especially with it being such a thing on here, but I think before my brain just wanted me to focus on whatever stupid story idea I had at the time or whatever else I seemed to be working on. Then I think real life, for me, shoved its hair ass in my face. So, I'm glad it's still here for me to bum off of.

You've done so well Norb! I'm so proud of everything you've accomplished!

I was a part of a blogging group with Jay back when, it's been disbanded but I remember I did have that around 2003 on here I think. Glad to see you at the blogging helm! Your blog entries are always so epic, it's like watching one of those epic movies on the big screen with surround sound and like the vibrating chairs that make you feel alive (but would activate my PTSD).

It has been cycles with the site, I cycle in, cycle out, like a ghost in the wind. Always!

But, with extreme shit hitting me I bury under ground and neither internet nor real life can find me then.

No urgency on my copy. Just whenever it arrives, it arrives.

I was all 'Aw, how come I didn't get a mention as a blogger?' and then I got 'one of my best WDC friends' and I was all 'Fine, you're forgiven then.'

I guess I'll read 100 for the hundredth time.

I see how this works. Well played, Norb. Well played.

When I see a new blog post from Norb...

I've heard about this first wave of bloggers and Blogville(sp?). I think it's kind of sad how cycles of people come and go from the site. I think I didn't realize it when we had a big group of people blogging together. I didn't realize I was part of a new 'generation' of bloggers on the site, so I kinda naively assumed everyone would just be around forever blogging together. I mean, I'm thankful for the new friends I've made over the course of the years, but I definitely miss the people who aren't around much anymore so it makes me kinda sad. I'm sure you feel that with the first wave of bloggers.

A to the Z

"Make an A-Z list on a topic of your choosing. Stretch your creativity! After you finish your list, write a short narrative describing why you chose the list you did and how it relates to you."

Yo yo yo!! Apparently it's been five whole months since I last posted up in here, and I'm only doing it now cuz I love the topic and I get to share stuff!! I know, right? My blog, my rules...if you don't like it, you know where the X is on the screen of the device of your choosing.

What I'mma do is let my iTunes library play on shuffle, and when there's a song I really like, I'll share it. I'll be going by title, and this list is not comprehensive. I like what I like and whatever I pick doesn't mean it's the quote-unquote best ever or anything. Easy peasy. Here we go...

A: Jeff Tweedy, "Ashes Of American Flags (demo)"

B: Bright Eyes, "The Big Picture (live)"

C: Modest Mouse, "Coyotes"

D: Murray Lachlan Young, "Do Wah Diddy Diddy"

E: REM feat. Patti Smith, "E-Bow The Letter"

F: Matt Pryor, "Freakish (Saves The Day cover)"

G: Beastie Boys, "Gratitude (live)"

H: Atmosphere, "Horny Ponycorn Horns"

I: The Monkees, "I'll Be Back Up On My Feet"

J: Texas Is The Reason, "Johnny On The Spot (live)"

K: Radiohead, "Karma Police (live)"

L: Pat Benatar, "Love Is A Battlefield"

M: Nine Inch Nails, "March Of The Pigs (live)"

N: Bobby Womack, "Nobody Wants You When You're Down And Out"

O: Mission Of Burma, "Outlaw"

P: Weezer, "Pink Triangle (Live At Y101 Sonic Session)"

Q: Brand New, "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows"

R: Beasite Boys, "Right Right Now Now"

S: The Get Up Kids, "Stay Gold, Ponyboy (live)"

T: The White Stripes, "There's No Room For You Here"

U: Barenaked Ladies, "Upside Down"

V: Rage Against The Machine, "Vietnow (live}"

W: deM atlaS, "Wannabe A Kid Again"

X: Blondie, "X Offender (live)"

Y: Tom Waits, "Yesterday Is Here"

Z: Aesop Rock, "Zero Dark Thirty"

I don't care if you like them or not...it's just a list, and I felt like I needed to write. I've been in a mood lately, so IDGAF. Y'all can fire up the band, but this entry took a lot outta me and I'mma take a nap soon. Music is life. It's always in the background or forefront of what I do, whatever that is. Peace, A-to-the-Z, and GOODNIGHT NOW!!

Please don't ask me to talk about it.
