Day 22 - a song from the 1980s
This was the first song that taught me that my taste in music was shaping up to be different from that of my classmates.
The next step was punk rock.

Day 21 - a cover song
I was torn between going for something good, or something silly... let's have both, and from the same band.
Here's good...

A headline with adjacent picture regarding a trans woman who happens to be a doctor, and how she is now working in Australia.
This is shameful. Upton did nothing wrong. She's trans. That's it. The commentary on X is as vile you could imagine, with the usual suspects, including current sitting mp deeming, trafficking their usual hall of mirrors fantasies to one another, full of hate and invented outrage. Disgraceful. 1/
Day 20 - a number in the title
I once had an MP3-player which, if I set it to random shuffle, kept playing this song on repeat.

Imagine if we lived in a world where ALL boys were taught to respect women & value them as equals, not just targets for men's sexual desires. Instead we still have far too many males that learn a lesson of entitlement to do as they will to women & girls.
Yah, I have big dreams, don't I?

Day 19 - a song from your favorite album
Can't say I have a favorite, but I have an album I return to time and again, and this song is the heart and soul if it. Sometimes I hear my voice...

Day 18 - from the 1990s
Welcome to my youth. I listened to this on my way to school, on a cheap Sony Walkman, with equally cheap headphones, which means the entire bus had to listen as well 🤣

The kid said I should post The Cure. I said it's not a challenge if I pick the most obvious song.

I called a company today and was greeted by Dirk, the friendly AI, who refused to put me through to a human despite being unable to help me.
It also told me that our conversation would be recorded, so I hissed like a pissed-off cat and hung up.

Day 16 - body part in the title
"Kopp" means "head".
When there's a kobold in your head playing the balalaika, crazy becomes the new normal.

Day 15 - brackets in the title
Billy Joel has always had a special place in my heart. Probably because he understood, and wrote a song about, my home town.

When this song comes on, I pause whatever I'm doing.

Day 11 - over 7 minutes
Well, this one's over 17 minutes and still qualifying as earworm material. Also, Patty Gurdy. Long is the road we have traveled...

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

I was torn between this one and Gold Dust. Either way, Tori Amos ❤

Day 9 - band you've seen live the most
That's EAV, an ancient Austrian band, simply because they tended to show up at the annual free music festival in Vienna, where I grew up. Here's them making fun if Nazis.

Just in case there is anyone out there feeling smug that we humans are the most intelligent of creatures, I’d like to point out that crows make and use tools.
But not weapons.
It's my dog's birthday. She's 14 now. In human years, that's over 90. Imagine being this fit at that age.
