Song of the Moment LXV: Them Crooked Vultures’ “Mind Eraser, No Chaser”

I said I would listen to at least one different music artist per week, and last Monday I listened to all of Spice Girls’ studio albums. (Yes, I listen to Spice Girls. Deal with it.) But because January 14 is Dave Grohl’s birthday, I had to set the iconic English girl group aside and listen more to the bands throughout Mr. Grohl’s career – iconic grunge band Nirvana, my favorite band of all time Foo Fighters, and my favorite rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures.

As I type this, I’m drinking my favorite Jack and Coke Zero while listening to “Mind Eraser, No Chaser”, the second song from Them Crooked Vultures’ self-titled debut (and only) album and my favorite song from them. Mr. Grohl’s team-up with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin is mind-blowing. I hope they will reunite and make another record.

Belated happiest birthday to Dave Grohl!

Song of the Moment LXIV: Craig David’s “Don’t Love You No More (I’m Sorry)”

One of my resolutions in 2025 is to listen to at least one different music artist per week – a singer or a band that is not on my usual daily rotation. To kick off my resolution, I started with English singer Craig David, and listening to his hits and a few deep cuts has been refreshingly amazing.

What is my most listened-to Craig David song this week? It’s the sensual hit “7 Days”. But as I type this, I’m listening to my second most listened-to, “Don’t Love You No More (I’m Sorry)”. It’s an R&B song released in 2005 that reminds me of a heartbreaking moment that happened more than a decade later. Listening to it has been painful and addictive at the same time.

Happy weekend, everyone.

Song of the Moment LXII: Colbie Caillat’s “Realize”

I have been listening to my Top Songs 2024 playlist on Spotify for the past several days, and one of the songs from the playlist I have not blogged as my Song of the Moment is “Realize”, my favorite Colbie Caillat song. It was released in January 2008, but I only discovered it a year later. The song is about having romantic feelings for someone (a friend rather) and wishing for that someone to feel the same way.

If you just realize what I just realized
Then we’d be perfect for each other and we’d never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We’d never have to wonder if we missed out on each other now

Now let me be sappy while I listen to “Realize” and drink my Jack and Coke. Happy holidays.
