38 years ago I heard this song. I was driving with my dad in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I was about 6 years old. I remembered only a part of it (something about windshield wipers and a truck) and never was able to know which song it was. In fact, I wasn’t even sure if it was possible that I hadn’t heard it in so many years. Today I was on a flight to Miami, and I watched the movie Finding Steve McQueen. It was the title track, and I recognized it immediately. I solved a 38 year old mystery today. This is the song.
I'm not one to usually listen to a lot of music. My boyfriend's a big music geek, so there is usually something playing. And he's good at finding stuff fitting the mood. Being away has made me realize how even if I don't pay much attention, it's become part of my background habits, and I really started missing it. I think he was quite happy when I asked him to send me the mixes he plays the most :) Converting me into a music lover has been an almost decade long challenge for him. I'm only this year truly turning around. I guess don't get to say "I don't really like music" anymore! Here's the latest track he sent :)
For more than a week now, I've been all-in on Billie Eilish. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. I like today's goth babies. Especially when the musical director is a bass player... since I'm a bass player, too. I've also been working on Black Sabbath's "Mob Rules", in preparation for a record me and some other dorks are going to be doing next weekend. Because our 80's metal band just can't seem to leave well enough alone... especially now that we are all old and can finally afford the cool instruments we all wanted when we were 18. If you listen to fools...
Listening to a brand new, regrettably obscure, synthwave track. Not lo-fi, and perhaps too drum-centric, mastered in the image of EDM:
