Happy Anniversary!
Tomorrow is welshcrew.com/kevin's one month anniversary! I am sincerely appreciative of everyone who has been so supportive of my blog project. In honor of the anniversary, I want to introduce a couple of new features. I am posting two more projects I did last semester as well as some writing that I did and happen to be somewhat proud of.
The other feature isn't really a feature but an idea I admittedly stole from another blog I checked on the web (there are, actually, a lot of them out there). From now on, I will close each blog entry with the artist and song that I am listening to when I sign off. This should be a very interesting experiment because I tend to associate memories and periods of time in my life with the music I was listening to at the time.
For example, I associate the stop my family made in Memphis on our road trip in 1990 moving from Texas to Michigan, with Mark Cohn's Walking in Memphis. I always think of Rage Against The Machine's Fistfull of Steel when I remember the last day of school in the 9th grade. The Cure's Pictures of You (remix) always reminds me of my friends from Texas A&M. And I can never forget the first time I was introduced to Michael Jackson - a McDonald's hamburger had violated my 4 year old digestive system and the song I heard on the way home,Billie Jean, was stuck in my head while I was wretching in the front yard.
I consistently listen to music while I'm working on my computer. This is a reason why I am such an advocate for internet radio stations like Radio Paradise and somaFM/Groove Salad. Because internet radio playlists are so diverse, I expect that my song posts will be sometimes pretty random and obscure. Heck, most of the newer music I listen to is influenced by internet radio...what a great by-product of the information age!
So here it goes...
I was just listening to Supergrass - Brecon Beacons
