The Worst Taste in Music

There was a time when I believed my whole emotional life was wrapped up inside the sleeves of a 45 inch record: a pop song, a single.  This was a time, starting in the early 70s, when FM was still new, and not having any actual money to buy a record, I was constantly absorbing the songs they played on the radio, Top 40, which meant these where the mainstream records, with little snatches of a counter culture, and race, slipping in here and there, and the subtle winds of change that blew in from California, or Nashville, or Detroit, or England.  Having virgin ears is a beautiful, unacknowledged gift; because the radio was free, and for everyone, few people around me discussed music with any kind of seriousness.  If the Bee-Gee’s appeared with a brand-new format in “Jive Talkin’”, no one really remarked upon the fact that they had brazenly entered into soul music so successfully; instead, they danced to the record because it was so good.  Hearing these songs everyday kept me on a very dreamy wavelength; some of my deepest memories are the feelings surrounding a tune which will then open up to the place, and then the people in my life at that juncture.  Once I was driving in my Ford Fairmont at around age 21 with my older sister Diane (who will feature later in these essays) and Anita Baker’s “Sweet Love” came on.  That Ford had awesome speakers (even with one of the 4 of the 5 crackling in and out) and I turned it up, completely enthused.  “Isn’t this song beautiful?”, I said, to which she grimaced.  “Oh, Mark,” she said, “you’re just like Momma—you have the worst taste in music!”.  I looked at her in astonishment.  Anita’s was a really important new voice in radio, I knew, because she was charting with real soul music on both the R and B and Pop charts simultaneously.  Instead of telling her so, I simply slipped back into my emotional world, the one that had served me so well all of these years, and silently asked myself the question do I have the worst taste in music?  My life on AM and FM radio had always been so rich it had never occurred to me.  The truth is I just moved on—everyone’s favorite pop songs are sly, masterful tricks of the novelty business, and I am sure some of her very favorites could be challenged just as easily.  The difference between us at that moment in my ugly brown four-door was the fact that I was still deep inside my most impressionable age span, which I believe ends in your early 30s.  These are the years where songs really inform how you are living, and, like the trend for album covers in the 80s, wash over crisp black and white photographs with the subtlest patinas of color, superimposing a bright faraway fantasy element to the reality of the time.  I still think of that moment in the car, and my taste in music, but I don’t believe I am any closer to knowing if what she said was true.  Music for all of us represents a certain time, a certain place, a certain way of growing away from or toward something, and like those subtle patinas on the albums of the 80s, the constant among all of us for a favorite song is that it has colored you forever, and the merest snatch of a piece of music will forever be a conduit, a dream tunnel, a quicksilver path to this part of your life: mysterious, yet permanent.

Somewhere New EP - 5 Seconds of Summer

I thought it would be fun to start out my 5sos CD collection journey by sharing the first piece of physical media they ever released! I did not buy this CD when it originally came out in 2012, I bought it very recently, at least within the past 3 years or so. I have no idea where I bought it from if I'm being quite honest, I found this copy on a random website so there's a full possibility it's a reprint/bootleg copy. Either way, I'm glad I own it. This EP has 4 tracks on it, my favorite song is probably Beside You. I actually prefer this version over the Self Titled re recording, but that's just me. Overall I have a lot of nostalgia for this project, especially the quirky liner notes that were obviously written by them, it has a lot of charm that I find endearing. Let me know your opinions on this project! I'd love to have a conversation about it :)

i hate being surrounded by these gen z kids. (acting like i'm not one)

but like genuinely, does no one know/care about fucking punk bands and wonder-fucking-wall by oasis, or is it just my instagram following? i mean, i'm sharing something i've been gatekeeping forever. but no one seems to care.

all they care about is the fucking weeknd and harry styles (no hate, just incredulity). like where's y'all's innovation to actively seek out music? where did the desire to go beyond the top 50 on spotify, or to go beyond tiktok/instagram reel audios go?

life sucks.

Meghan Trainor's Comeback

It’s official girlies. Meghan Trainor is back on the top 40! “Made You Look” her latest single off her album Takin’ It Back just ascended to #40 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, a feat she has not accomplished since 2016’s “Me Too”. I, like many people, assumed her career was over after the abysmal performance of her 2020 album Treat Myself. With little to no support from her record label, it’s lead single “Nice to Meet Ya” peaked at #89 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for one week only. But as the Tik Tok era firmly cemented itself in our culture, her song “Title”, from her debut album also called Title, took the app by storm. It became so popular she even dropped the music video for it (it has been noted that Meghan’s label refused to release this as a single back in 2015). But I guess 6 years later is the charm right? Her career trajectory is an interesting one and her rise back into the mainstream is something I look forward to seeing play out. What are your thoughts on where Meghan’s career is headed?

November is already here! So surprising to see the year already be over! The times have changed and I love them so much. I've been trying to catch up on new releases but I don't feel like I'm doing too well, so if there's any new projects that you wanna recommend then please let me know! I probably won't stop listening to 5sos5 for some time now, so get used to seeing them in every monthly list lol.

This month is very busy for me, I'm hosting Thanksgiving for the first time this year, and since I'm really young I feel this pressure to do really well, but I know I'll be able to handle it all at the end of the day. Also my birthday is this month, so I'm going to be having a party that I also have to plan, which I'm really excited for! I'm going to try and finish posting my 5sos CD collection before December because list season is a big deal to me and I want to strictly focus on that. Thank you for reading, and have a nice rest of your day!

There's a flashback to 1972. Apparently the version for radio stations was straight mono, but the stereo original had the backing track in the center with the backing vocals panned hard left and right.
