I've had Vampire Weekend's "Horchata"---off their most recent album, Contra---stuck in my head since yesterday. After verse 1, however, I completely lose the tune to the subconscious takeover of Super Mario 3's Underground theme. Listen to "Horchata," and at 0:21 you'll see why. Now I'm working in Garageband to produce a mashup. Having never used the program before, it's taking a lot longer than I'd like, but I'll get through it. I'm always mashing up songs in my head, or with my roomie (we have completely different repertoires, so when one of us starts singing a tune, the other will join in with a similar but completely different song). I hope to produce a great number of mashups for FoP posting in the future, so I figure this is a good time to start.
There's another song that takes me back to my days of Super Nintendo funtimes, and that's Omarion's "Ice Box." Have a quick listen to the intro:
Sound familiar? Try this on for size (it gets really obvious at 0:59):
Yes, that's Donkey Kong Country's Underwater theme, "Aquatic Ambience," by David Wise & Robin Beanland.

How Am I Not Myself?

- I love music. I think I'm addicted, though I've never gone long enough without it to know if I'll have withdrawals or not. There's definitely a mad rush of dopamine when I hear it, and a dopamine overflow when I see it live. I'll be posting my songs/artists of the day anytime I am moved to do so. This happens pretty often, whether it's a new song I've just heard, an old song I've rediscovered, or a show that I just went to. In terms of genre, anything goes. I must warn you, however, that I've been really into chill stuff lately: stuff that relaxes and refreshes me. I have a theory that this is due to my current stress level, but we'll see how it plays out in the long-run. I believe that if you listen to these artists/songs in the right context, they can have absolutely positive effects on your being. DISCLAIMER: If you're not into the songs I post, don't write the artists off based on those alone, because many of them have quite the range of style & emotion. So welcome to my world of music. My hope is that you might find music that will become meaningful to you. At least, that's what my life is all about.
