Previously…

In an effort to attempt to blog a little more, I’m somewhat “borrowing” a schtick from Blobby at Blobby’s Blog. I guess this makes the second thing I’ve borrowed from him actually. Maybe one day I’ll come up with something of my own.

I have this method of ranking music in my library, which currently consists of 34,968 songs: By default, all new songs in my library get ⭐️⭐️⭐️. As I listen to them, I sort them as follows: ⭐️ means it’s “rubbish” (as Dr. Spo would say) and I’ll probably delete it from the library, ⭐️⭐️ means it’s just “meh” but I’ll probably keep it, ⭐️⭐️⭐️ means it’s okay and we will probably talk over it, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ means I really like and may potentially sing at random, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ means everyone better shut the fuck up because my song is on! You know the kind of songs I’m talking about. We all have them.

These are mine, one post at a time.

I’m starting my approach to this with songs I’ve given ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to in iTunes. There’s only 90 of them at the moment. I’ll probably sneak in an occasional ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ as well.

My first ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ song post!

And, a remix of sorts. Or a retooling. By a different band. A “genre” I have a lot of in my music collection.

I can’t say I’ve ever been a fan of Coldplay. But somewhere, at some point, on some media, this version of one of their songs played. And I instantly loved it. I’m thinking mostly because of the Cuban elements added to it. And it’s a sound I love to hear.

I know nothing of the remix band, Rhythms Del Mundo, and I may have to correct that after writing this.

I present Rhythms Del Mundo’s “Clocks ft. Coldplay”:

Here is the original version of the song by Coldplay if you’ve not heard it before. It’s not bad, but it’s not good:

And there you have it.
