New beginnings

  • TamacunRodrigo y Gabriela - Instrumental - #2 - 13 points - You want instruments? Okay, here's 2. And just 2. Saw Rodrigo y Gabriela live, twice. The energy is amazing. You gotta see them to believe your ears. [If you haven't seen them perform, I recommend YouTube.]
  • Shake It OffTaylor Swift - This isn't me - #5 - 10 points - This was a difficult one for me, because I vibe with a lot of different stuff. But after a conversation with my 2 daughters I'm going with the poppiest of pop music, America's Sweetheart herself. (It was this or Golden ;)). Never will I put it on myself, but will I sing along without knowing any of the lyrics when I'm driving [just a tiny bit over the speed limit] and this is on the radio... Yes, I will!
  • The Emptiness MachineLinkin Park - Rediscovered - #2 - 12 points - Believed impossible to replace, the tragic death of Chester Bennington seemingly meant the end of the group. But they found a new voice in [the not uncontroversial] Emily Armstrong and returned in 2024. This one just filled a teeny tiny hole in my musical soul that I didn't know was there.

  • New beginnings / This isn't me - That it was a song accompanying a beer commercial in the movie theaters and on television didn't hurt it's popularity either... ;)

  • New beginnings / This isn't me - There's this restaurant in Bali called Naughty Nuri's. When someone orders a martini or margarita, this song will blast on the speaker and the staff will chant "Shake, shake, shake!" It happened several times when I was there, and it wasn't a very long dinner. Perhaps because of that repetition, I lost interest in this song. Sorry, Tay

  • New beginnings / This isn't me - I like it. but the kind of leagues I'm in, usually Taylor gets downvoted close to 0 or -1... Good thing this isn't a downvote league!

  • New beginnings / Rediscovered - Perhaps I'm just a snobby purist, but she hasn't replaced Chester for me. I'm glad the rest of the guys can finally continue making new music, but the spark is missing for me. Perhaps I'm also too old with to connect to these new edgy lyrics like I did back then.
