#260: Alone

Um... yes. Totally owning this. We listened to the Glee soundtrack the whole way down to Cape Meares, which was... ok. I love Glee, but not the soundtrack. Anyway. The one on my 365 is the original, by Heart. But this non-video is the Glee version. And it is HILARIOUSLY GREAT.

#259: Come Together

My cousins and I played Beatles Rockband in my basement, and it was way too fun. Let me just say that my eldest cousin is an epic rockband drummer.

#258: Family Affair

Ok, this is just a total cliche song for the day, but whatever. My whole family came to Portland and it was great. I listened to no music. So... Sly & the Family Stone.

#257: Trees Still Bend

After a crazy, crazy day, I left Walla Walla at 8:30 and drove in less than optimal conditions to Portland, getting in at midnightish. I listened to Girlyman the entire way. It was epic. Not in the way I usually use the word epic ("what, like a hot dog?"), but in the way Merriam Webster uses epic, "extending beyond the usual or ordinary."

#255: St. Peter's Bones

Blerg of a day. I got some terrible news from home, and decided to take MMG up on her advice from the week before to put Girlyman on shuffle, starting with this song, to feel better. Worked like a charm!

#255: Super Duper Love (Are You Diggin' On Me?)

If I could have anyone's voice, it would be Aretha Franklin's. But my second choice would probably be Joss Stone. Or Etta James. The point is, Joss Stone is amazing. This was just one that I had put on my "good stuff" playlist a few weeks ago (probably because I had like 9 songs that could've gone on my 365 that day) and then I was going back through it and realized why I had decided to categorize "Super Duper Love" as "good stuff."

#254: Forever

When it comes to dance music, nobody beats Chris Brown! (joke copyright Football, 2009)
I made my terrible playlist the preceding weekend - a cd of horrible guilty pleasures that I still totally love - and then spent all week singing them. "Forever" featured prominently. I seriously, seriously love this song. I don't even care. Say what you will.

ALSO Feb 1 was hourly comic day, and "Forever" featured in my comic!
