30 Day Song Challenge day 17 – a song that you hear often on the radio. Before switching to satellite radio, or internet radio or just using an MP3 player and I was listening to the radio for a while, I remember this song was unstoppable, I could not get away from it, and trust me I tried. Truth be told, I like Green Day, but this song was played out so much for me on local radio that I don’t think I will ever like it.

30 Day Song Challenge day 16 – a song that you used to love but now hate Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay Otis Redding. OK, now before you kind people kill me, I ask you to lower your slings and arrows. This one is a bit of a cheat. Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE Otis! Otis Redding is one of my top 3 favorite singers, at times he is probably my all time favorite singer. Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay is also a great song, so why put it in the category? Why the hate? I hate that if you asked the entire populace who Otis Redding was less than one out of every ten people would. And out of the people that do know who Otis is, I guarantee less than 1 percent would be able to name another Otis tune. I am going to stop know, before I really tirade against people….

30 Day Song Challenge day 14 – a song that no one would expect you to love Always Yours by Gary Glitter. If it wasn’t for the “I know, you know” parts this would be a PERFECT song. there, I said it. I don’t care who knows, I love this song and have played it more times then I could count. And really, nobody here is really guilty….well except Gary that is.

30 Day Song Challenge day 12 – a song from a band you hate. Well an Artist I just can’t get into anyways. I am sorry people, I know he is a masterful songwriter. Burt just bores me to tears!

30 Day Song Challenge day 10 – a song that makes you fall asleep Into The Night Julee Cruise. In High School I was obsessed with Twin Peaks. Dale Cooper was my hero, as simple as that. I remember buying Julee Cruise’s Floating Into The Night album. That album and Del Shannon’s Rock On album were my soundtracks as I made money working for the newspaper during my high school years. I would spend every evening going door to door in the well to do neighborhoods around Austin. Anyways, enough preamble. I bought this album at Blockbuster music on Ben White, no longer there, put it on that night as I fell to sleep. Then something happened during the end of the song that I will never forget. Needless to say, don’t try to fall asleep to this

30 Day Song Challenge day 08 – a song that you know all the words to Invitation To Alienation Amazing Crowns. Not the greatest quality video, but it was the only version I could find. Maybe Jeff Kumre remembers riding down a San Jose Highway as we screamed along with this song at the top of our lungs.

30 Day Song Challenge day 06 – a song that reminds you of somewhere Cotton Eyed Joe. Garner State Park was my favorite summertime camping/family meet up location. Swimming under that cave in the Frio River and the nightly dance were my favorite parts. I remember everyone yelling Bullshit during The CEJ and thinking how cool it was adults were screaming profanities as if it were nothing!

30 Day Song Challenge day 05 – a song that reminds you of someone Blondie for Deborah Horne. 1980, Kindergarten, Bedford Heights Elementary. My first love. I followed her and her girlfriends on the playground until she turned around and told me to stop it. I got her number in the phone book and called her and then realized a 6 year old doesn’t have much to talk about. She was the reason that all through my school years I was obsessed with short blonde hair girls.
