I like to “treat myself” to an 80s internet radio station at work on Fridays. I know that if I listened more often than that, I would get sick of the songs within a week or two at the most and then I’d have to find something else.
But there’s something else I’ve noticed about a healthier dose of musical repetition: seems that if you hear a song *just* enough– enough to know it very well, maybe you’ve committed most or all of the lyrics to memory, even if it’s not a good song, you’re going to come to enjoy it. I think this is why I have such an affinity for the 80s music. Even though a lot of Billboard’s biggest hits are not what I would ordinarily think of as “good songs,” I’ve listened to them so often they are virtually automatic earworms.
I was just singing along to “Seasons Change” by Expose a minute ago. What the hell else could that be all about?
Anyway, enjoy your Friday, and if you get random 80s lyrics texted to you by me on ANY Friday– you now know what it’s all about.
For those that are interested, I added a couple more photo galleries from our recent vacation. You can go to the galleries page to find them.
You may not have been aware that I have a feed for photos as well, just for your reference…
The EAA Airventure is going on in Oshkosh this week. If you are planning to attend the event, Osh Vegas is definitely the place to be. If you are planning on doing ANYTHING else in Oshkosh this week, you planned poorly. Hence, I am glad to have a couple days off from commuting.
My friend Ben, who I knew back in Bozeman, and who hosted Wordy and I in Boston a few years back (and whose photo can be seen here), is on his way across the country to Bozeman once again– this time he’ll be teaching at MSU come fall. Anyway, he’s staying with me for a day-plus while en route so we can take in a baseball game and a brewery tour. It’ll be cool to get cousins Aaron and Matt, and Nick Petters in town for the game, too. Hopefully, the Brewers know what the hell they’re doing, trotting Carlos Villaneuva out there for his first start in about a year and a half.
No matter what, we’re looking forward to a relaxing day in Milwaukee.
