I am writing this at 30,000 feet somewhere above Missouri, or at least the rout the pilot mentioned earlier. On my way to Seattle for what sounds to be a fancy meeting with fancy people. I’m honored to be included, and that’s not snark.
If you want to picture me, I’m in row eight on the 6:10 PM Alaska Airlines flight from Atlanta to Seattle. Alaska is much more humane ordeal than the onerous Delta that I usually fly. I still paid six dollars for a bag of tortilla chips, but at least I got off handedly got comped an extra vodka soda by the cool like that flight attendant. They haven’t had much to eat, but they run three drink services so I’m happy even though I showed some discipline and skipped the second. Meanwhile, in flight Wifi? You’ve been flirting with me for months now, I’m ready to get to first base at least.
On to Music Monday, a Twitter tradition that doesn’t get nearly as much respect or mainstream play as it should. Here’s what’s been burning up my iPod the last week or so, a little new, little Gen-X, and one that’s little really, really old, but I bet you haven’t heard it.
Born Free - MIA
Yes, I have heard. There is a
video. So true. But forget about that because this song absolutely rocks. MIA creates, the industry follows and I’ll listen to whatever she decides to gift us with. You think it’s easy to write a song that gets played in Hip Hop club and a mosh pit? Think about even having the idea to try.
The Joy Formidable is in the same category of scary cool as the Moggs except that you can actually play them without your friends throwing you out of the room. Ritzy Bryan's deadly delivery on vocals invites comparisons to Kim Deal and the band to the Pixies or the Breeders.
