Finally!

Okay, two weeks into this project, I finally heard a song I know on the radio: Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit on 106.whatever-it-is. Yes! This blog will pay off, though it's gonna take awhile.

So, for Easter, thought I'd find a popular song that references easter / resurrection / etc.

Well, googling "lyrics resurrection" gave me interesting results. Realized I don't know anything about pop music, so I wikipedia checked each of them:

• Nicol Sponberg's Resurrection (some new Christian artist. This is her first solo.)
• Chimaira's Resurrection (a headbanger group. Noisy.)
  

Listened to both, but decided I really had to put up the Christian one for Easter. Yeah, it's not the pop song I was looking for, but it's actually pretty good.

Today's song is . . .
Nicol Sponberg's Resurrection

No Favorites

I hate it when people ask me to pick a favorite. I mean, seriously, one single favorite out of the hundreds that I know? Favorite color? Well, what are we talking about here? Color for a shirt? Then it might be teal to match my eyes. But never for a car! It's all about context.

We don't ask people to pick their favorite among their children: your precocious 6-year old daughter, or the athletic and popular 10-year old son? What about that sulky teen you rarely see? Pick one! Go on, tell me your favorite! The more you know something / someone, the harder it is to choose.

BUT . . . I can usually decide what I don't like. That was a major discovery during our music discussion last Sunday. All the music that I remember from when I was young, the music that I hated . . . Grunge!

I didn't like grunge. But decided to pick one for today's song:

Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"



This was their first big hit in 1991. They only lasted a few years until Kurt Cobain killed himself . . . depressing.

Opinion: I vaguely remember this, especially the annoying repetition of "Hello". On the other hand, reading the lyrics, it's not that bad. Maybe that's just cuz I control the volume.
