The Knack – “(All in the) All in All”
This song from 1998 was used in a movie from 2000 in a scene that takes place in 1967 and yet, it reminds me so much of 2003.
Every few months, I’ll add a batch of new songs to iTunes. I’m listening to the new batch on shuffle, and a song comes on that I don’t recognize. I think to myself “this is shit, why is this in here?” And then I realize it’s The Monkees.
I’m just gonna start pretending every Q. is actually Q: and read all the questions in his voice.
Q: What religions are the Monkees? This has been bugging me for a long time.
Q: Is Davy really homesick? I hope he doesn’t feel blue ’cause when he’s blue, I’m blue.
Q: Where can I write to Ronny Howard? I think he’s neat.
You step outside, you risk your life
The Simpsons – “Hooked on a Feeling”
I woke up with two songs in my head, and I was struck by how these songs have different meanings recently:
People all over the world
Join hands
NO.
Whatever you do
I’ll be two steps behind you
“Six Steps Behind” would be better, although I know it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.
Davy Jones – “After Your Heart”
I have been sitting in front of my computer for the last ten minutes, saying “computer, computer, computer” and “what time is it, what time is it” over and over in order to train my program to recognize my voice. I honestly feel like Leah Brahms or Lewis Zimmerman or something, and this is making me incredibly happy, but also incredibly terrified.
I’m hoping this is what coronavirus does for the world:
Finally there would be a thingamajig that would bring everyone together, even if it kept them apart spatially.
Honestly, I feel like my Monkees site CMS is more complex than any website I’ve ever worked on professionally.
