Day 5: A song for a road trip
(+1 for female artist, total of 8)

Road trips aren't really a thing in Sweden, mainly because it's tiny. The entire country is about the size of California, and 60% of it is basically... nothing. So, getting anywhere doesn't take long at all. I think the longest I've been in a car was 2, maybe 3 hours at most.

Those shorter trips were frequent in my youth, though. An hour here. An hour there. And every time we drove, my stepdad would introduce me to a new band from his time. It sounded so mythological to me. His time was a time other my time.

He was Swedish, born and bred, and had lived through music I could never have dreamed of. We burned through his tape collection. When we ran out, we bought a boombox capable of playing CDs and had it screaming at us from the backseat.

Rock, punk, pop, funk, jazz. I'd whine at him, jazz is junk, but he insisted that it was an era I had to know, to understand what came after. I was annoyed. It sounded like five musicians each playing their own song, simultaneously. I never did come around to Jazz. Sorry, dad.

But punk. PUNK! My word. It was unlike anything else. It lit a fire in me! Ramones, Misfits, Stooges, Pistols, Clash, Dolls... Too many to count. Then came the newer bands. Distillers, Sleater-Kinney, The Licks. We'd scream our lungs out in his old Volvo, trying and failing to match the energy of these incredible, strong-willed musicians.

Short songs for short road trips.

An excellent song selection! And a brilliant accompanying explanation, as always! Thank you.
(At first I was thinking that I'm not particularly a 'punk' fan, but then you started listing bands, and it was like... oh shit, I guess I'm into punk... lol.)
But what also really interested me was your description of how road trips aren't really a thing in Sweden, due to the specific characteristics of where you live... and how the longest you've been in a car is two or three hours. I was really struck by how different all of our daily lives are based on 'where' we live. I'm in a vast, widespread, low-population area of Canada, and in order to bring human services to the surrounding communities we have to travel a lot... a couple hours to work every day is common, and it's often further. Changing out the albums in my CD case is as much a part of my morning routine as packing my lunch! Anyhow, I just wanted to say thanks for reminding me of how different all of our circumstances and situations are, and how those differences are a big part of what makes life interesting.
And thank you again, for the great song recommendation!

I don't know what those stories are, don't much care for celebrity gossip. Distillers made amazing music, and that music has forged some amazing memories, that's all that matters to me. Same with Danzig's time in Misfits. Or Johnny and the Ramones. Or Clapton and... himself. Steven Tyler. Jimmy Page. Dylan.

Shit, you want to have any rock music left? Better separate the art from the artists.

Danzig is back up front with the Misfits. 🤘

You have good taste vagrant, I’ve seen the ramones, misfits (but minus Danzig) Joe strummer, PiL, stooges, Iggy Motörhead, DK, the damned, mudhoney …this could take a while..nit even started in the many many local punk and grunge acts..the 90s were so much fun, I got to see most of these bands in small and quite a few pub venues, one highlight was beastie boys playing under a pseudonym in a bar playing their early punk hardcore music..so freakin amazing

Day 6: A song that mentions a body part

Anyone else get hyperfixated on certain songs? I’ll find a song that feels like it’s scratching an itch in my brain and listen to it over and over.
This is one of those songs for me.
I love his voice, the Irish accent, the banjo on the chorus, the lyrics.

Kingfishr - Eyes Don’t Lie

(+2 for two women. Total of 10.)

Have you ever found a band so good, so completely you, that you spend an evening on the couch with your headphones and have your SO bring you hot coco on a timer, just so you won't have to move and risk ruining the moment?

And have you then found out that this lovely, perfect, amazing and wonderful band, hasn't put a record out in a decade, and that there's just... nothing more? It was just a fling. A flirt with music. 2 EP's and then they were gone.

First love, and sudden heartbreak, all in the span of a few hours.
Where did you go? What did we do?
Please, come back.
You fit me like an old jacket.

To the only boy who has ever broken my heart; I miss you.

BOY - Hit My Heart
