Forget the pre-nup numbers. Ask about the music.

Thursday, April 28, 2011

Love is not what keeps Rog and I together. It's really music. When we were dating, one of our qualifying questions including music preferences. Yes, we advocate all dating couples to ask this question. Think of the hours in the car, train, plane, on the beach, in the home, tableside, entertaining--where music is involved. We agreed that we were going to put a rider clause (or an allonge for literary snobs) on our non-pre-nup (we are old-fashioned, and don't actually have one for those of you nosey enough to want to know). But if we did, we'd surely have the rider clause Spare yourself the divorce process. Talk music first. (as an aside, welcome Chile and Egypt. I'm mystified at how this blog spreads, but whatever. The world is indeed flat.

But relationships (countries or flat worlds) aren't the topic of this blog. It's meant to satisfy the musical requests of She, who complained to me just this morning about the fact that she doesn't make it to the computer everyday, and thus misses my musical selections. She is asking for a music log, and suggested that while I'm at it, I just log my "Did you know." Well, I'll make it half way and do the musical log.

Here's the deal. I post a song on the main page under Try This, then when I take it down, it will come here. Of course, I'm not going to copy all my commentary about why the song is special etc. Too much. Most recent on top.

Read on. Listen. Enjoy. PS. Don't forget that pre-nup rider clause about the music.

Sunlight by DJ Sammy. I have multiple versions-the original is slow, and I don't like it--the radio version is fine, this fast version is amazing (actually, multiple fast versions are great, including this funny, hardcore quasi-chipmuck version the Takaki Matsude Remix slow version is good writing music. (5/23)

I am what I am. Nice as it is, and great as background music, I'm a much bigger fan of the faster versions. This is the Lange remix--(5/21)
