My Month in Music – November (2019)

This is very likely the worst playlist I have ever made. I might yet again need to re-think the making a playlist thing, because now the songs are so different it just doesn’t work…at all. In previous months, there was so much of one artist it didn’t really work well either. (Maybe I’ll just start putting all the songs on shuffle, since that would be about as good as this playlist is). Anyway…here we go I guess…

• Mother – Courtney Love
• As Hope and Promise Fade (Live at Queen Elizabeth Theater, Toronto, ON April 20, 2011) – Chris Cornell
• Walls (Tom Petty cover) – The Lumineers
• Bad Egg Blues – Lauren Tate
• Spill – Foo Fighters
• Deadbeat – Tiny Meat Gang
• Bag Tho – Danny Gonzalez
• Haus of Holbien – Six Soundtrack
• Club Poor – Rynx and Tiny Meat Gang
• Bad Boy – Danny Gonzalez
• Ex-Wives – Six Soundtrack
• No Flex – Tiny Meat Gang
• Goodbye Earl – The Dixie Chicks
• Boots of Spanish Leather (Bob Dylan cover) – The Lumineers
• When I Go – Semler
• Closer to You – Adam Lambert
• Call Me A Dog (Live at Queen Elizabeth Theater, Toronto, ON April 20, 2011) – Chris Cornell
• Sick in the Head – The Lumineers
• Short Kings Anthem – Blackbear and Tiny Meat Gang
• Run – Foo Fighters
• My Cell – The Lumineers
• Daddy – Danny Gonzalez
• Walk Man – Tiny Meat Gang
• Stubborn Love – The Lumineers

• I also saw Six at the Ordway with my mom over my Thanksgiving break and I absolutely loved it! You should go see it if you can! Here are some pictures of us there 🙂

Every once in a while, I feel like looking at some Harry Potter stuff and so I go on Tumblr. It always starts with one tag, and I re-immerse myself in my love for Harry Potter. This time it was #remadora and I kid you not, I scrolled through e v e r y post under the Top section. But I mean just look at them!!!

Also sorry (but not really) to my few friends that follow me on Tumblr…oops.

Anyway…this led to me taking a trip down memory lane to my very short-lived obsession with wizard rock (wrock), where I found and rediscovered some great songs (full EP’s and albums, actually). So that’s why there’s a good number of Oliver Boyd and the Remebralls’ songs on this playlist. I felt like I needed to point it out, since it’s sort of different from everything else on the playlist. (You know because I usually listen to music that isn’t about Harry Potter).

Special Mentions:

Here are the wrock songs I remember from middle school the most clearly. Obviously, two of these are a bit more Sirius than the other one. (I tried so hard not to make that pun, but I just couldn’t resist the urge).

• Oh Ginny! – Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls
• Mischief Managed – Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls
• My Dad Is Rich – Draco and the Malfoys

At the Oscar’s this year, Queen and Adam Lambert opened, and as per usual, they were amazing. I think everyone needs to see it, so…

One more thing! I know the Super Bowl was a while ago now, but I still wanted to show a few performances from the Foo Fighter’s Super Saturday Night concert. As per usual, they killed it. No surprises there. Here are two great performances by my favorite Dad Band™️:

• La Dee Da with Dave Koz
• Under Pressure with Roger Taylor

My Month in Music – January

I know we’re already really far into February as I’m posting this, so sorry for that! I still want to talk about the music I’m listening to, but I got sort of tired of the way I was doing it before, so now I’m just going to make a playlist of the songs I listened to each month. I might also mention some other music things like I do later in this post 🙂 Anyway…onto the playlist!

• I Want the World by Hands Off Gretel (so excited for when their new album comes out March 29!)
• Birth Ritual by Soundgarden
• Fresh Deadly Roses by Soundgarden
• Say Hello 2 Heaven by Temple of the Dog
• Be Yourself by Audioslave
• Seasons by Chris Cornell
• i’m so tired… by Lauv and Troye Sivan

Listen to the playlist here.

I am aware of the…ummm…theme in the songs above, which I think will change as I remember to track more of what I listen to every month. For now…I guess too bad if you don’t like Chris Cornell??! (Also…how?? If you don’t).

Special Mentions:

I have started listening to The Tudors soundtrack while I study. I still use the Reign soundtrack and Harry Potter soundtracks. I love writing to Reign and use the other ones for other homework.

Also…on January 16, a five-hour tribute concert for Chris Cornell was held at the LA Forum. I thought I would share some of my favorite performances (that I saw, I definitely didn’t see all five hours). 

• Two Drink Minimum – Miley Cyrus
• Say Hello 2 Heaven – Temple of the Dog and Miley Cyrus
• Foo Fighters full set (warning: I sobbed during Everlong the first time I watched this, so be prepared)
• I Awake – Soundgarden, Taylor Hawkins and Buzz Osborne
• The Day I Tried to Live – Soundgarden, Taylor Hawkins and Buzz Osborne
• Show Me How to Live – Audioslave, Dave Grohl and Robert Trujillo
