Sometimes I just need some scream therapy.
and ironically the song is telling me to be quiet.
This is my visual representation

Song of the Day: Aaliyah - Are you that Somebody?
hmm I was thinking about Aaliyah the last few days and I find out today was when she passed away almost ten years ago.
This is how my music taste vacillates. I could be listening to grunge/alternative/rock/ and then the next moment i would be listening to r&b/rap... of course Aaliyah can fall under dance too. Please tell me you've tried to do the choreo like i did? No? I'm just kinda lame then LOL.

Song of the Day: Hole - Doll Parts
Uh oh. I'm being 90s nostalgic again.
Well since I did Nirvana yesterday, it seems only natural to post Courtney Love's vid. Yes, she is a trainwreck. I love her, I hate her, I love her again. She's a singer, an actress, something else. But I can't deny that "Live Through This" was one of the best albums that came out of the 90s. It's so angsty, so raspy, it feels like the epitome of girl groups of that time. Yeah, there was a guy in the group, but it was more about Courtney than anything else. I recall high school, one of the girls I knew loved Hole just because of the screaming and hurt that seems to resonate with her, I wonder how she is today?
Now I wonder, was my whole generation angsty and disillusioned, since the music of that time seems that way? I'm trying to figure out what this generation is... the only thing I could think of... it's a bit ADD :)

Song of the Day: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
No judging ;)
So last night I was on cam4 and as I was going through, I came across somebody who had Nirvana playing in the background. Not only that, he had Nirvana and Kurt Cobain posters everywhere. He was only 20. I am reminded of my age, not only by how young he is but the fact that he was listening to something that was around while he was still in diapers, granted i was really a kid myself too :-).
Nirvana will always have a special place in my music appreciation, that group spearheaded my conversion from r&b/rap to rock. Without them I would never have gotten into the stuff i love now and oddly enough 80s new wave stuff. I embraced alternative in all its form. And though my appetite for music seems to have waned into a few things here and there rather than I want it ALL, I'm so glad that Nirvana is pretty much the heart of it.
