Tag: Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters are an American alternative/hard rock band formed by Dave Grohl (the fifth and most famous drummer of the iconic grunge band Nirvana). Started as a one-man project with a demo tape that piqued the interest of major labels, a full band was officially formed in February 1995, and their self-titled debut album was released on July 4 of the same year. Several years later, they are regarded as one of the greatest rock bands of all time with hits like “Everlong”, “The Pretender”, and “My Hero” and several Grammy Award wins on their legendary resume.

The Foo Fighters are The Deranged Writer’s favorite band of all time.

XXIV: Full Circle III (The Diary’s 365th Entry)

I wrote in the previous post that I would make this post extra special because this is The Diary’s 365th entry. However, after several days of drafting and not being content with whatever I came up with, I gave up for a while.

Maybe I will do what I do best: write down what is currently in my mind and then take it from there. And while I’m at it, I’m opening an ice-cold can of Jack & Coke Zero.

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.

Song of the Moment LX: Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday”

This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024).

Because it’s my birthday today, I wanted to wake up at 8am and write a lengthy birthday post. But I woke up at 9:30am and I got lazy writing. But what the hell… I should cut myself some slack because it’s my special day.

As for my other plans for the rest of the day, I will drop by my favorite cafe Satchmi and then look for available restaurants for my birthday dinner. I just hope I can do the latter before nighttime. Fingers crossed, man.

Speaking of birthdays, let me share my Song of the Moment: Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday”. I will definitely listen to this on repeat before I move on to my favorite bands’ classics like Coheed and Cambria’s “Welcome Home” and Foo Fighters’ “Walk”. (I might cry listening to the latter.)

Happiest birthday to me, The Deranged Writer!
