"Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor) [feat. T-Pain]" by Pitbull
A song from your most listened to artist of the last 20 years.
Looking at the number of plays in Apple Music, this one is in the top 25. In my home, the chorus is a bit of a call and response as one person will say the the "oh baby baby" and someone else will do the "la la la la la" part.
"Just Kickin' It" by Xscape
A song from the 1990s that you like or means something to you.
I think this song came to me because I need some time to reset.
Kick off your shoes and relax your feet (Come on, yeah) Party on down to the Xscape beat, just kick it (Oh, baby)
It's been crazy the last couple of months.
"Vedanta" by Clevers
A song from the last gig you went to.
My wife knows someone from the band. It was really nice to see someone play something live.
"California Gurls (feat. Snoop Dogg)" by Katy Perry
A song from the 2010s that you like or means something to you.
This was the first single on the Teenage Dream album. I think it really cemented Katy Perry as a pop icon as it dominated the charts. When it came out, it felt like it was on the radio everywhere! I don't know if it's because I listen to top 40 stations and live in California.
It felt like song that you could just have on in the background and not cause too much fuss.
One of the things that really struck me is that this album is the first to have 5 number one singles after Michael Jackson's Bad. Good Job Katy.
This is the fourth installment of a movie franchise that has been going on for more than a decade. There are countless memes and jokes about making sure you don't mess with John's dog. It's fun, but it has also gotten formulaic.
The formula goes a little like this:
Through it all, we would wonder how is he going to get past this?
There are variations and a couple jokes along the way. The film tries new things by adding some other characters, but I don’t know if I ever really care at this point. Maybe it was because I saw them all in the span of a couple weeks.
I would say the movie is good and it certainly brings the action, but I wouldn’t mind if this was the last one.
John deserves a rest.

"She Don't Have to Know" by John Legend
A song you've seen performed live, or would really like to see performed live?
I saw him preform this song and talk about this song on stage. It was a funny exchange and he interacted with playfully with the crowd.
I was walking Lilliewhen I saw this furniture by the garbage.
It’s old but it didn’t look excessively dirty. I started thinking about how long the people who had owned this had kept it. How it had probably moved from one place to another before ultimately ending up here.
How much of my stuff have the same story or will someday in the future?
"West Coast Love" by Emotional Oranges
A song that you discovered in an unusual way.
I got this song from my niece who I don't see usually. She's got pretty good taste in music.
"End of the Road" by Boyz II Men
A song that reminds you of a particular friend.
This is the song that they played at my Junior High graduation. I remember feeling that I was never going to meet my friends again as we were going off to the next step in our lives.
We were done being children, we were going to High School!
I din't know it was a love song until much later. At this point, it marked the end of something else.
"Are You In?" by Incubus
A song that reminds you of one of your favorite places.
My favorite place to be in is a zone of relaxation. Just chilling and having a good time with friends and family.
