The Indefatigability Playlist
I think, generally, everyone loves music. It's our solace, our panacea, our getaway, and it can be a powerful well of strength to draw from. Music means a lot of things to a lot of people, and can be experienced in just as many ways. Some are eclectic listeners, right? They pluck and pick at all different kinds of genres without care to anything other than the sound and the feeling of it. Some are steadfast; traditional even, in their listening tastes that date back to what their parents listened to or the music of their region/country/etc. Others are quite particular about their tastes while others are less so. We all have different experiences with music and that is a fabulous truth.
Delise FantomePublished 4 years ago in Beat"Same Love" by Macklemore & Ryan feat. Mary Lambert
As part of an essay for my Music Appreciation class in college, I decided to pick a song that I enjoy listening to called “Same Love” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis featuring Mary Lambert. It’s a song that has a serious and important message that discussions about basic rights and having equality for everyone. Even ‘til this day, America is divided because of the belief that we have. Sadly, some of us think that it is wrong to fall in love with the same-sex. Even though, in life, we can not pick who we fall in love with, what the color of our skin will be, and whether we will be born a girl or a boy. It makes us question our society and how our culture views humans based on labels and ridiculous stereotypes. Instead of looking at each other and saying that people are just like me, a human… we view others on stupid reasons like the color of their skin or their sexual orientation.

Billy Idol was the rebel that couldn't be reckoned with. He was the wild card that branched out of the band Generation X and became the staple in the 80s with his rebellious anthems of his antics of anarchy. He became one of the evolutionary musical artists to lead the British Invasion of the 80s, became one of the first musicians to ride out the new era of music on MTV.

When i first set out to do this blog, I had a bunch of 90's country classics picked out, and it was going to be epic. I was going to vibe with everyone on the classics that I grew up listening to , and show you guys music that everyone needs in their life..... but then saturday laziness got the best of me. So here we are on Sunday at 4:31 watching Bring It On, and about to change your life forever. So I hope you truly enjoy this blog post, and if you ever have any more suggestions for future blog posts, send them my way. I love finding new music to jam to on my adventures. These songs are just a couple songs that I have found that I truly enjoy listening to. They are not grouped in the same genere. As you will learn, I literally listen to every single genre and do not discriminate. I hope you find some new music. Enjoy!
That One BaristaPublished 4 years ago in BeatFalling in Love (a song review)
With close to 100,000 plays on Spotify alone, after 2 weeks since it's release, Comfort Club's new single 'Falling in Love' is not something one should ignore. The independant artist has been putting out amazing music since 2018, and has been slowly but surely rising in the indie underground music scene. Previous songs such as 'The Internet' and 'New Ways to Miss You' have gone above and beyond 100k plays and continue to rise as the artist continues to release new music. The latest single is no exeption to this factor. One can definetely say that Comfort Club's future is bright.
What is the “Perfect Woman” made of?
When you hear the words “perfect woman” what comes to mind for you? When I think of the concept of a perfect woman, I oftentimes find myself comparing my attributes to the concept and coming up short - a phenomenon I am certain is not isolated to just me. In music, I am immediately harkened back to the year 2000 and the O-Town tune “Liquid Dreams.” I know I am showing my age here, but boy bands were so important to the commercially popular music scene then; don’t judge. In the pop track, semi-grown men list off physical attributes of celebrities they wish they could puzzle piece together to make the perfect woman or “the star of my liquid dreams.” Now that I think about it, it’s more than a little ewwwwy and yet we sang along, believed they had a good idea with this, and even compared ourselves or compared women in our lives to the chopped up idea of what a perfect woman should be.

Perfect Woman with John Concepcion
What can I say about Perfect Woman? Hmm let me see. Well first things first Perfect Woman with John Concepcion is a very special song. Before I get into explaining the writing and the creation process. I want to point out the marketing behind this song. Usually a-lot of thought goes into making the song, but I wanted to try something different and focus on the cover art. Most people usually use celebrities to describe a perfect woman. So I dug a-little deeper and realized most of the perfect women I’m describing are actually woman I already know or some how along the way. I’ve crossed paths with. What makes this interesting is because the person who designed the cover art is a woman, the person who mixed the song is a woman, the label im releasing the song under is owned by a woman and Ofcourse, the first person I ever let hear the song is a woman. I even had a woman proof read this write up for me. Pretty cool right? I think so. Its meaningful to me because I still feel woman dont get the credit they deserve in all aspects of life. Especially in the music industry, the fashion industry, or even the photography industry. So this is my way to show some respect and uplift those I admire through out the years. In this segment, I’d like to take some time to Honor the woman on my Cover.
