"Bad Things" by Jace Everett
What song did you discover in a tv show or movie?
My wife and I used to watch True Blood for a while. We stopped shortly after the fairies were introduced. Sometimes, I think about going back to the show to see how some of my favorite characters ended up, but there are so many other shows that want my attention.
"Clint Eastwood" by Gorillaz
Which artist did you discover thanks to a music video?
I remember exactly where I was when this song came on. I was in the living room folding my (kind of) white laundry on a Sunday and watching MTV back in 2000. I had never seen anything like it.
I think my posts are being filtered and no one can see them. It’s liberating and kind of frustrating at the same time.

"Sorry for Party Rocking" by LMFAO
Some albums have a good opening track, but the 2nd track is totally killer. What's your favorite 2nd track song?
I don't know if the first track counts because it's more of an introduction of the album.

"Purple Rain" by Prince & The Revolution
Post one of your favorite songs that has the name of a color in the title.
I think this is one his biggest hits and a movie that I vaguely remember. I love the way that Prince did so many things and never limited himself.
"Ready, Steady, Go!" by Harry Styles
What's your favorite new track released this week?

"Rolling in the Deep" by Adele
Share a track by your favorite vocalist of all-time.
I think Adele has a wonderful voice and I appreciate that she uses it with restraint. I heard she's taking a little bit of break. I'd rather she do that then force another round of hits that may or may not happen.
"I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A "Rap" Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time" by André 3000
What's your favorite instrumental song?
I remember when this came out and it really reminded me that artist can do different things if they want to. I've loaded this one up and will listen to it as I go to sleep.
I hope something good comes your way

"Walk This Way" by Hayseed Dixie
Post a cover that's done in a different style than the original version.
I used to listen to a podcast called Coverville and they would frequently have some blue grass covers of different songs. I picked this version because I wrote about the Run-DMC cover and I wanted to highlight how you can do a song in multiple ways.
I edited my /etc/hosts file to make reddit unavailable. It’s been notable all the times that I open a tab, type the address, and load an empty page.

"Juice" by Lizzo
A song by a band whose merchandise you've bought - what was the merchandise
I remember buying a t-shirt and feeling a small pang of regret after touching it. The quality of the material wasn't very good.

"Chandelier" by Sia
Share a track that has one of your favorite vocal performances of all-time.
Definitely a lot of range and power with this song. I love it because it feels like the tears about to stream at any point in the song.
