For me right now it’s The Beatles, in honor of that INCREDIBLE documentary Peter Jackson just put out. I was riveted through the whole thing. Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. 😍

I just got an email from Spotify with a wrap-up,of my 2021 listening. I rarely listen to Spotify because I forget I even have it!
My most-listened to song this year was Quilloughby’s Everyone is Horrid, from the Simpsons. Ha!

That’s a great story! Being around music all the time must have been exciting. And since the only name I recognized in your story was One Direction, I’m guessing that either you’re very young, or I’m very old - which I am!
Let’s compare your job to the summer I worked at a place that repaired the washers and dryers in apartment building laundry rooms. There was no music involved. I was in the office. I answered the phone, typed and filed. I was also Dispatch (I got to be yelled at by people phoning to report that their washer/dryer was broken) and I was Accounts Payable (doing part of the weekly payroll and paying the bills each month). I was also expected to make the coffee and tea each day - both of which I did badly, and so I was regularly yelled at - especially by the tea drinkers. The place was in a scary part of the city, and it was filthy because there was always a light film of dirt covering everything - coming from the electrical equipment used by the repair workers in the other part of the building. Every day, as I wiped that black film off all the surfaces, I would try not to think about the fact that we were breathing all of that in each day. I’m sure that today the place would get shut down for being a health hazard.
And to make it worse, I never once got to see One Direction perform while I worked there! Ha!

Oooo. Florence & the Machine! Good times!
I was listening to Nightwish's Amaranth on my drive home from the movie last night. Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band.
After that, I listened to techno, specifically Eon's Void Dweller album.
Then, it was NIN.

We must be about the same age, then!
I had thought about listening to Pretty Hate Machine, actually, but I listened to The Downward Spiral instead. Specifically, Closer (NSFW!)

A recent revelation was Hugh Laurie's blues album. He's really good! WHAT. Before my unholy love of BC, Hugh Laurie was the absolute crowning achievement of men, to me, for awhile, at least. I am nothing if not fickle, except with BC. You want to know why? Because of Jeeves and Wooster. God, I had the worst crush on Bertie Wooster. This was in 1990 because I saw it when it first came out on PBS (I had not yet graduated from HS!). After that, I went to college and had the hots for some actor with dark hair - I am an engineer, but all my friends were art majors and we all had a thing for dark haired men in Victorian type clothes so it is probably some movie like Dracula but not Dracula. Good lord, but I can't remember which actor. Probably tall and thin because I have a type. If I remember, I will update.

nope, you are definitely younger! I am 48. Oh please - you’re both babies! I’m ancient! I think you two are just making up names of singers to see if anyone will catch on.

You mean you’re not familiar with the musical stylings of Lil’ Chuff and Baby Glam? Omg, Boomer. 😱
