A song from the 1990s that you like or means something to you.

"X.Y.U." by The Smashing Pumpkings. Man, this song hits so hard, love the guitar, the effects, the drumming.

The ending is so heavy!

Post a song that mentions another recording artist or artists.

All I can think about is you And me driving with the Saves the Day record on We were singing 'til our voices were gone And I was falling hard You were barely hanging on And now I wanna chase forever down With you around

This song will always bring so many memories to me.

Pick a song that matches what you are really thinking about just now

Adult life has been on my mind lately. Future plans, stability, debts, trying to keep everything together. So today’s pick is “Hard Times” by Paramore.

Feels a little too accurate sometimes.

The last song you heard on the radio

I’m gonna pick one from a local radio station. Yes, I’m one of those people who still enjoys tuning into the radio while driving from time to time.

The last one I heard was “End of Beginning” by Djo. Not really my kind of stuff, but gotta follow the prompt accordingly. 🫡

Share a song you call something other than its official title. What do you call it?

Today I’m going with “I Miss You” by Blink-182… except I’ve never really called it that. To me, it’s “La Neta”.

Back in the day, a friend (Zuany, shoutout, buddy) and I used to absolutely butcher the chorus like this:

"%$@# rolón que nos aventamos, neta que nos mam@m0s… La neta…"

Instead of the usual chorus, which is:

"Don't waste your time on me, you're already the voice inside my head... I miss you..."

So yeah, for me, this song will always be “La Neta”. 😂

Post a song by a band you think is overrated, but the song is almost enough to convince you otherwise.

Going with “Starbuster” by Fontaines D.C.

Hot take? Maybe…

Everything this band does feels a little too FIFA soundtrack-ish for me. And yeah, maybe they lean a bit hard into the aesthetic… but I don’t know. Maybe I’m just getting old?
