pickThe Beatles and Philosophy falls at the more academic end of the spectrum, despite its pop culture focus. It‘s written for someone who‘s already across the basics of philosophical thought, and an intimate knowledge of the Beatles catalogue is pretty much essential. Luckily, I came equipped with both.

so-soA pleasant meander. Sort of an extended interview/conversation, using individual songs to talk either specifically about the story behind the song or some aspect of Dolly's life.
I'll admit to wishing the production had been a bit different: the beginnings of songs start the various conversations, and maybe it's a rights or length concern, but after a while you just find yourself wishing you could hear the whole song 1/?
pickLike a Wilco song this just washed over me in the best of ways. I‘m not at the point of writing a song, but could relate his feelings and ideas to my other creative practices! And he is so right when he says every one of us should experience creating something.
I know this is a weird question, but does anybody have any song recantations for the spooky season??#halloween
My recommendation is the Beetlejuice the Musical soundtrack!!

so-soHere‘s my review for this book that I won from a Goodreads giveaway in 2021. I chose this for my mood read prompt for #bookspinbingo. Either way, it‘s off of my physical TBR now.
I listened to the second chapter of this book at the dog park today with my dog. I‘m slowly making progress in this book. The chapters are kind of long so I feel like I can‘t listen to more than 1 chapter at a time. I think that this would be a good book for people who are fans of hers. It‘s an interesting book but it‘s not about songwriting. It‘s more of a memoir. I‘m not a fan of hers so I don‘t feel invested in the story yet.
I‘m reading the tagged book right now and it has her music in it. I found out that each chapter is named after one of her songs and she sings the song at the end of each chapter. I only listened to the first chapter. I don‘t know if I‘m going to like her music or not. I like discovering new music. Am I going to finish this book? I don‘t know yet but after only hearing 1 chapter, I thought it was interesting.

I started the tagged book. This author mentioned that she‘s southern but she didn‘t mention what state she‘s from and she mentioned that a lot of artists covered her songs so I was thinking,”Ok. If you‘re so well known like you say you are then where are you from and which artists have covered your songs?” So I did a Google search. She‘s from Louisiana and her website says all the artists that have covered her songs. I don‘t know who she is.
