I, The Deranged Writer, love any type of music. On every music device I have ever owned, from my third-generation iPod Nano (anyone remember that?) to my iPhone 15, my music library is a melting pot of artists and songs. I was not vocal about my love for various kinds of music though; only a few friends knew this fact.
But that all changed when I found myself on a Dave Grohl interview marathon (for the nth time) on an afternoon in 2011.
I have been listening to many love songs lately, including my current Song of the Moment, “Far Away” by the Australian rock band Wolfmother. “Far Away” is my second favorite Wolfmother song next to “New Moon Rising” (both songs are from the band’s second studio album Cosmic Egg), and it reminds me of a bittersweet, important part of my college era.

After listening to “Far Away” too many times tonight, I’m tempted to drink a Jack & Coke Zero now, but no… it’s not Friday yet.
That is all for now. See you in the next post.

Because I was so tired from yesterday’s happenings, I spent today at home watching episodes of Daredevil (Season 1), the iconic Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (one of Elder Brother’s favorite movies), and the entire Season 3 of Marvel’s What If…?. I love weekends like this.
And to cap off the night, I’m drinking my favorite Jack and Coke Zero while listening to “Slither”, my favorite song from the hard rock supergroup Velvet Revolver. The band consists of Guns N’ Roses’ Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum, Wasted Youth’s Dave Kushner, and Stone Temple Pilots’ Scott Weiland (God rest his soul), and they are my favorite supergroup next to Them Crooked Vultures. (I mentioned the Vultures in a previous Song of the Moment.)
Oh, man… I should listen to Velvet Revolver’s studio albums Contraband and Libertad after listening to “Slither” on repeat. Their albums are simply fantastic and nostalgic. (They are nostalgic because they were a part of my “college commute” playlist when I was a sophomore. Damn. I miss my iPod Nano and the good times. The commute during rush hour… not so much.)

Until the next post.
