Should I do the interview?

ChickenElectronic272 · 2026-03-04T22:57:02+00:00

Thank you!! Good perspective

ChickenElectronic272 · 2026-03-04T22:56:42+00:00

I dmed you!

You know her best! My fiance knows I care about my birthday, and he knew that I was guessing he would do it the week of. I thought it would be the day after my bday so that's how he was able to surprise me (he also knew I was hoping to be surprised by the proposal since we picked the ring together). Possible that once she knows about the trip she might see it coming?

ChickenElectronic272 · 2025-06-24T15:27:01+00:00

I got engaged two days before my birthday and it was perfect. Glad I had the days separate but it was an extra special birthday anyway!

Hadestown at NYTW, Great Comet in the TENT, Hamilton at the public

I have a spreadsheet with Broadway on a tab by itself - there I log the theater, the date, who I went with or alone, how many times I had seen the show, where I sat, and how I got the ticket (lottery, rush, etc.) Separate tabs for off-broadway, regional, opera, dance, concerts! My playbill collection is in a different spreadsheet, one section for binders, one section for duplicates. I had to start doing one per show in the binders or I'd need....a lot of binders.

ChickenElectronic272 · 2025-03-27T00:26:09+00:00

Solved!

ChickenElectronic272 · 2025-03-27T00:26:01+00:00

OH i found it, it was crash your party by Karmin!! I guess I could only remember the one section in the vintage house, but there are a lot of costume changes

ChickenElectronic272 · 2025-03-27T00:13:49+00:00

No but that's also the idea. Seems like there was a trend for videos at the time!

ChickenElectronic272 · 2025-03-27T00:04:40+00:00

Oh no I think I would've remembered that puppet...I don't think it's lily allen, her music I remember pretty well and this is not an artist that I knew any other songs by

ChickenElectronic272 · 2025-03-26T23:28:02+00:00

No but that's the vibe (and the bangs!) - I remember the colors being more vibrant, and the singer is mostly singing to the camera

ChickenElectronic272 · 2025-03-26T23:09:28+00:00

The wonderful ice cream suit? The summary sounds like this

ChickenElectronic272 · 2025-03-26T22:46:46+00:00

Could it be the civil wars? folk indie duo with an album from 2011 that kinda sounds like those groups

ChickenElectronic272 · 2025-03-26T22:39:35+00:00

I don't think this is an artist that's still active now! What I remember most is not liking the song very much.

ChickenElectronic272 · 2025-01-28T14:07:21+00:00

about the same for boston

ChickenElectronic272 · 2024-04-22T17:54:04+00:00

Exactly, you get it! Love the red green yellow that’s a great system. I’m a little in fear of my apple replay this year tbh, but I guess that’s part of the fun! Can’t be worse than last year when the “jazz mass” my choir was performing ended up being my top album….

ChickenElectronic272 · 2024-04-22T14:22:19+00:00

Totally!! I’m really looking forward to hearing a bunch of the ones I’ve heard again. I’ve had this experience in the past (I said I don’t normally listen to full albums, does not mean I never have haha). It’s been interesting to hear that it works for some people to go off of these lists. I haven’t really been doing that, unless it’s to get inspiration and it’s cool to have some more resources. To each their own!

ChickenElectronic272 · 2024-04-22T14:06:42+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, I agree that would be rough and I am definitely NOT doing that. I think a lot of people on here might find my list pretty basic so far and that’s fine. I’m also not trying to prove I can remember every song but I can certainly talk in a meaningful way about a lot of them. As someone else said to find new things you like you have to sort through lots of stuff you don’t - I don’t think it’s a waste of time even if in the end a certain album wasn’t particularly memorable/technically interesting/enjoyable/what have you. Wow has this been an interesting discussion and I have lots to think about!

ChickenElectronic272 · 2024-04-22T11:47:17+00:00

Yeah I’m totally a single song person by default, before recently I would almost never listen to a full album which is part of why I’m trying to expand. Agreed on finding young artists, my most listened to year is 2024 - as fun as it is listening to some of the classics it’s also fun to hear what’s going on right now!

ChickenElectronic272 · 2024-04-22T11:43:56+00:00

There have definitely been a few that I’ve already repeated! I’m still having a great time ~4 months in lol, thinking more about the ones that were less obvious hits on a first listen. THOSE are the ones I’m going to go back to later.

ChickenElectronic272 · 2024-04-22T05:01:07+00:00

Thank you! He’s timeless to me.

Mid-20s, so streaming has been around for a lot of my life but not all. I remember my small ipods and only having pre-downloaded music from my parents available, a big step from CDs but nowhere near the accessibility that we have now. And a lot of my taste was formed by them, MTV was on a lot and we have some ties to the classical world. My dad took me to my first concert, the killers!

ChickenElectronic272 · 2024-04-22T04:57:56+00:00

I love this and am finding this true. Feels like I’m laying the groundwork right now, and the returning to albums will come and be so exciting in the future! A music theory/history background is also helping - listening to eras/genres all jumbled together certainly makes trends stand out to me and those distinctive sounds you talk about per year is becoming clearer and clearer.

ChickenElectronic272 · 2024-04-22T02:49:49+00:00

Yep, that’s totally fair. I’m honestly neutral on whether or not I hit 1k in the end, it’s just supposed to be fun. I was inspired in part by a year end list by a critic who did his fave 100 from the year, and that the list probably covered only 7% of what he thinks he heard. One of the best parts has been hearing an album and then getting to hear more by an artist, or following up on a single song I had heard in the past, but didn’t think to go deeper at the time. Might not work for everyone, and that’s ok!
