#TuneTuesday (Dec 2)
One of my favorite EDM producers is #Chicane and one song of his that gives me nostalgia is “Love on the Run” from 2003.
I have been reminded this exists... so now you get to know about it too...
There have been a lot of things I've regretted that the Internet enabled in its existence... a Phil Collins DMX mashup is not one of them.

#Lizzo’s “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)” is such a bop and I can’t help liking its infectious energy! It certainly gives me 80s vibes because of the use of synths and especially with the key change for the final chorus. 🎧

“Problems” is the first song I heard from the American band Arizona and I took an instant liking to it. And for a song about mental health, it surprisingly sounds cheerful and upbeat. But I guess a bit of positivity can sometimes help when you’re feeling down. 🤗
P.S. I subsequently learned that keyboardist David Labuguen is Filipino-American and I thought that was so cool!

#Madonna has produced a lot of music in over four decades—some good and some not my cup of tea. Among the good ones, “I’ll Remember”, from the soundtrack of the 1994 film With Honors, is definitely in my S tier of Madonna songs.
#TuneTuesday (Nov 4)
This week I’m choosing “Want You Back”, the lead single from #Haim’s 2017 album Something to Tell You. Aside from being a really good pop song, I’m fascinated with the one-shot music video featuring a deserted Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles. (Granted, the filming was quite early in the morning according to a street clock, so the disruption to this major street would’ve been minimal.)

Ok, I have had "Puttin' on the Ritz" in my head for maybe two weeks now. Watched Fred Astaire dance to it, joked about Young Frankenstein with Spouse, am kind of done with it.
But! I realize I do not know Gary Cooper (whom we are "trying hard to look like") at all! I found a suave photo of him, and a later rugged one. Anybody know what movie or movies are considered his best or classic films?
#TuneTuesday (Oct 28)
I’m not sure how popular this song is in other countries, but Clair Marlo’s “‘Til They Take My Heart Away” from 1990 is pretty much guaranteed to be on the repertoire of Filipino cover bands and in the songbooks of karaoke machines in the #Philippines. 😄

I recently learned that #JessicaSanchez, the latest winner of #AGT several weeks ago, gave birth to her first child last week. To celebrate this blessing, here’s “Tonight”, her collaboration with Ne-Yo and her biggest single that was released following her near win in American Idol in 2012. 1/2
I've had this earworm for days now. At least it's a banger?
#TuneTuesday (Oct 14)
I know #TheChemicalBrothers as a powerhouse in #techno music with songs like “Hey Boy Hey Girl” and “Block Rockin’ Beats”. So I was really surprised to hear their 2015 song “Wide Open” (featuring Beck), which is a certified banger if you are into melodic progressive house.

@SirEviscerate Here's some scientific help against #earworms: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/558659/ways-get-rid-earworms-according-science
One of them being "chew a #gum". A good candidate for #IgNobelPrice, if you ask me.

I first heard of Francois Klark when a song of his was beautifully included in the climax of a Netflix film. I got curious and listened to some of his other songs and came across the 2019 song “This City” which is the sort of pop song that really appeals to me.
#TuneTuesday (Aug 26)
To me Toad the Wet Sprocket is one of those cool 1990s alternative rock bands and know them for their major hits like “All I Want” and “Fall Down”.
It was only in the last few years that I got to listen to some of their non-singles and “Windmills” from their 1994 album Dulcinea is one that really stood out to me with its laid-back melancholic vibe.
