Return to Songs

Since I failed to keep up with writing about songs, from this point I’m going to take a new approach. I’m going to alternate between songs that I’m obsessed with and songs picked at random. Songs that I’m obsessed with might include: Songs that I hate so much I feel like I have to say something; Songs in nightmares: Earworms: Or more likely, songs that I love so much, I can listen to over and over more than is healthy. For random songs, I might do something like make a note of the first song I hear on that day, and then write about that. These songs could be something I hear in a public place, at work, when I turn on the radio or watch a movie. Or I might pick a song using some random system, from my collection of albums, 45s, CDs, cassette tapes, digital files on the computer. I am going to alternate between the random category and the obsession category, but I won’t necessary indicate which is which—as it will likely be obvious, and if it’s not, it doesn’t really matter, anyway.
