Day 2. A filler song
"A Waste Land" Bryan Ferry
Less a filler than an intermezzo—a bridge between the poppy "Don't Stop The Dance" and the moody "Windswept"—making it essential to experience the brilliant Boys and Girls as a complete work.
#BryanFerry
Excellent pick!

Day 26. A song that influenced many artists
"Pearly Dewdrops' Drops" Cocteau Twins
I chose this song somewhat at random, but the band's music helped shape shoegaze, indie pop, ambient pop, and modern cinematic indie.

Day 25. A song you associate with vinyl
People from Seattle love Ann and Nancy Wilson unconditionally. They're our hometown heroes; our very own rock goddesses.

Day 24: A song that feels like an apology.
Boston "A Man I'll Never Be"
This song is a little short of an apology... but close.

23. A perfect song to sing along to
“We Are Never Getting Back Together” Taylor Swift
I’m not a Swiftie, but this is my go-to karaoke song.

21. A song you discovered by accident
"Ebben? Ne andrò lontana" Wilhelmenia Fernandez
A pivotal scene in the French film DIVA introduced moviegoers to the rarely performed opera LA WALLY, and inspired me to apply for a position at Seattle Opera.
#Opera #Diva
I agree. I remember loving the instrumental “Lady Marion” from that album.

Day 20: A song that shaped your music taste
Clannad "The Theme from Harry's Game" (1982)
A friend brought me this 7” single from her trip to the UK, and it cemented my appreciation for dark, atmospheric music. It’s still a favorite.

I don’t think any of us expected grunge (or “sludge,” as we first called it) to migrate farther than Portland. it was only around 1990, after I’ve already moved to Los Angeles, that it became clear it would catch fire.

Day 16. A song you disliked at first
Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
I grew up in Seattle, so I'm ashamed to say that I initially thought this song was noisy and silly. Now it seems like a revelation.
#Nirvana #SmellsLikeTeenSpirit #Grunge #Seattle
Great story!
A snapshot from my early morning hike is Los Angeles’s Fryman Canyon.
#losangeles
Great choice. “Superstar“ is the song that really tears me up. “You’re not here - it’s just the radio,” reminds me of Karen’s untimely demise.
Excellent choice. It makes me teary with optimism.
One of the most powerful endings of a TV show ever, and "Breathe Me" is the perfect soundtrack.
Excellent choice. 😢
