Music makes the people...

Achieve orgasm?

Ok, maybe not really, but that's the term my friend Sean used when I we had a conversation about tunes a little while back.

"Was it a music orgasm?" he said.
"Yeah, I guess it was. But not compared to this one other song..."

It appears I have these more often than I had realized before Sean coined the term. So, I've decided to keep a running list of my various Euphonically Ecstatic Events, or "Triple-E"s, if you will. These are not to be confused with the Libyan city of Tripoli. I am not likely to discuss Tripoli, but in the event that I do, you'll have the comfort of being able to see what I'm saying.

The glory of the written word. And so on.

One thing to note about this: any particular Triple-E is due to a combination of my mood at the time; the sort of activity that I was performing at the time; and, of course, the particular song. Can't have a music orgasm without some tunes, eh?

"Triple-E"s in recent memory:

1. Paramore - Misery Business
- When this one surprises me on the radio while I'm driving, I usually amaze myself with my ability to stay out of the ditch.

2. Matthew Good - Born Losers
- The other night, I heard this one on the radio while coming home and it brought a tear or two to the ol' peepers. I say peepers because I am certain it helps me to retain my manly reputation even after admitting that I cried to a song.

3. Darude - Sandstorm
- I pretty much went berserk when this one came on at - that's right - the company Christmas party. However, given the atmosphere at the time and the abundance of great people, beer and good food, I cannot rightfully attribute the entire Triple-E to this song.

More to come*, I'm sure.


*Wah-wah.

NO FOLLOWING THIS TO THE BLOG!

staying out of the ditch is always good. as is the music listed above. and crying to matt good makes you almost as emo-tastic as him...minus the whole insane asylum and having your wife leave you and crush your heart and being horribly self centered... so maybe more like a self actualized 12 year old girl than matt good. i have yet to decide

Dude, Sandstorm? I officially don't know you.

OK, I'm kidding, Sandstorm is kind of the bomb.

And for the record, I had to type in "tejvo" which is probably the Bosnian knockoff of a Tivo (you can also shorten "knockoff Tivo" to "Tifaux"!).

See you in a few short days!

Oh and I only just got that "Music makes the people". Madonna! Good times!

Again with the Balkan-style things to type in: xpdzwcr. You just know there is a little village in Serbia called Xpdzwcr.
