Logocentric (adj). Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics). Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, many taken from the following places:  "The Soundtrackers Group"  "Blogging Circle of Friends " "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" "JAFBG" "Take up Your Cross" Thanks for stopping by!  |
| "The Soundtrack of Your Life" | DAY 5 "Nobody Compares To You" by Gryffin feat. Katie Pearlman See the previous post ("This Is Last Call" ) for context, as this is the other song from the To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You trailer that I've been listening to since the Valentine's Day screening I arranged for my wife. There was a little more information to be found on Gryffin than there was on the previous band (NineOneOne), so this entry is going to be a little more about the artist and the things that I found interesting.Gryffin originally gained recognition doing popular remixes of well-known songs. He's a classically trained pianist and learned to play the guitar at a young age, then studied electrical engineering at USC. Combining his two skills/interests, he became a DJ, musician, and record producer whose style is often described as "melodic house music" which is most often accomplished by incorporating piano and guitar sounds into his remixes to create a sound that's a blend of electronic and analog. I'll definitely be checking out more music by Gryffin, because I enjoy house/dance music but not the type that's really harsh and dissonant. Now that I know "melodic house music" is a thing, I'm definitely going to want to check out more tracks by this artist and in this subgenre. |
| "The Soundtrack of Your Life" | DAY 4 "This Is Last Call" by NineOneOne For Valentine's Day this year, my wife and I wanted to go see a movie but there wasn't anything in the theaters that really screamed "date movie." However, I did know that she had been really wanting to see Netflix's To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, the long-awaited sequel to 2018's To All the Boys I've Loved Before. So I rented out the theater room we have in our apartment complex so that she could watch it on the big screen just the two of us and a bagful of snacks, while Grandma watched the kids. While I can't say that I found the movie particularly excellent, while I was setting up the viewing I did get a chance to see the movie's trailer , which had a pretty great soundtrack. I actually started listening to both of the songs on the trailer's soundtrack and have had them in pretty heavy rotation all weekend.I actually don't know a lot about the band or the history of the song, it's just one that I think has a pleasant beat and is just energetic enough to be something I can play in the background while I'm working to focus. I have a feeling this one will be in the rotation for a while. |

I'm really excited to see what Hamilton and LeClerc can do together at Ferrari this year. On the Constructors' side, other than Ferrari, I'd love to see if McLaren can hold onto the top spot for the second year in a row; although I'm also a fan of the underdogs and I have a soft spot for Haas and Williams.
Not many of those around here. Who's your favourite team/driver? My favourite, Valtteri Bottas, doesn't have a seat for the 2025 season. I'll be hoping for Hamilton, Piastri and Tsunoda to be successful this season, though I also like Alonso and Leclerc.
