Not really listening to anything right now but I can hear Mrs. M watching TV as she exercises.

I absolutely detest football (soccer), but I don't hate this...

I've had a few favourite songs that came out of footie tournaments. "Waving Flag" by Knaan, "Forca" by Nelly Furtado, probably some more.

Here's Nelly from the 2004 Euro. She's Canadian but her family are Portuguese and she has always been heavily influenced by that culture's music.

There have been some excellent songs associated with sporting events. While I have marginally more interest in Rugby (League or Union), I do have this wonderful song in my collection.

Kiri Te Kanawa from 1995, with World in Union

The,Sound of Silence. Dated, but still stirring for me.

The,Sound of Silence. Dated, but still stirring for me.

Hardly dated given that the Disturbed cover kind of brought it back in a big way. I have been a fan of the song seemingly forever (it came out the year I was born).

Spiritbox are a new-ish band from British Columbia, Canada (though many of the members are American). New EP came out today along with videos for the songs from it that didn't already have them. Lead singer is Courtney Laplante, originally from Alabama but living in Victoria, BC since her teens. She co-founded the band with her husband, Mike Stringer, who plays guitars and other instruments.

Shivers - by Ed Sheeran

New Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Kate Bush is on my buds right now. Listening to Spotify's This Is Kate Bush playlist. Currently playing:

I have an eclectic taste in music. Even as a youngster, I was never fixated on just one type of music. The first album I bought was in 1972. It was The Singles, 1969 to 1971, by the Carpenters (Karen was my first and only crush, and she still holds that place in my heart today). In contrast, here is a track from the second album I bought in 1973 (Being at school, money was an issue, so I have more singles from that era than albums). The Album was Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper.

Here is Unfinished Sweet

Nightwish - Dark Chest of Wonders (Instrumental)

My daughters. They're letting me know they're hungry or they ready to be changed.
