So I had a date for Valentine's Day, but due to extenuating circumstances, it was cancelled at... well, beyond the last minute.
I was pissed. Then I was disappointed.
But eventually, I found a level of calm. Because the following song played:
"So Long and Thanks For All the..." (Bullshit? lol)
And it kept me as calm as possible for the ride home.
And the runner up:
"Riders on the Storm."
This a pretty good song. And it also keeps me calm during my moments when can I go off into a nuclear rage, so it's worth the mention.
I'm not even from Brooklyn. But damn, if this song isn't hard.
What amazes me is that this apparently came out in 2009. Throne aside, why is Jay-Z consistently putting out rap that actually appeals to my ears? Why is Jay-Z still putting out amazing ass music?
Why is this beat sooooo fucking amazing? Why does this beat make me want to go out and represent Brooklyn? I'm from Queens...
Runner Up... This little discovery...
Randomly enough, I have at least 4 more posts to post before this year ends...
So... have you ever been walking somewhere or going somewhere or maybe going nowhere at all and you got music playing someway, somehow, maybe through an iPod, an mp3 player, or a radio, and suddenly this one song comes on and it changes your entire mood? You were all stable an inanimate one moment, then this song comes on, and BOOM! You're an insane dancing mess... you're driving and suddenly you can't even drive right cause this song is playing, or you're walking and suddenly you start walking to the beat and dancing in your walk, or you were perfectly still and stable and inanimate and suddenly you bust out in a private, spontaneous performance?
Enter "Atomic Dog" by George Clinton.
I'm going through my mp3 player, playing the songs, deleting the ones I don't want anymore and keeping the ones that I do.
And this comes on. Suddenly, I bust out in dancing in my walk, and when I stop walking, I can't even stop dancing, hitting some nasty steps. I forget how hilariously good I can move sometimes.
I like Sevendust. They're a pretty cool band. I discovered them via the game Smackdown vs. RAW 2008... the first time I actually listened to this song, I was hooked.
This song popped up on my mp3 player while I was on the E train, and I had it on repeat for the whole ride. The whole ride. There is something about this song... there's like themes of anger, disappointment, and acceptance within it... definitely a multi-layered lyrical trip. And of course, the guitar solo at 2:13... it makes me feel something special every time. Every. Time.

This song... maaaan... I swear, when I hear it in-game, I hardly ever notice it, hardly pay any attention to it. I'm too busy smashing people.
But this song also popped up on my mp3 player today. Caught me off guard and reminded me how awesome it is.
Because today was just sooooooooooooo victorious. :D
