Tonight’s the night.
After having compiled a list of 20 of the worst songs ever, I am going to have a blipfest.
First of all, what is Blip? It has been described by at least one (see link above) as twitter for music. and while this is a little true, I would say it is even more specific. DJs (that would be anyone who signs up) do so with a minimal amount of information. You don’t need much more than a DJ name and an email address that is fresh to the system. Indeed, you can’t add a heckuva lot more. You can add a pic, age and location, website, and that’s about it. But it is amazing how connecting pure music can be. So check it out.
But second- why a Top Worst Songs playlist? This has historic roots. On my first meeting with @realtyman- a broker whose home base is a couple towns away- we met up at the Mango Grill. Nice place, he was the broker and I was the agent, so I believe that he picked up the check. Pretty good food.
Then the music started. It was the playlist from hell, and I am sure that they cranked up the volume as the night went on to give us some incentive to leave. Cross dentist office music with the music backdrop to every political campaign prior to Bill Clinton’s, run it through tinny speakers, and you have a close approximation. But you know what? I never laughed so hard in my life.
So tonight is #MangoMonday over at blip. I presume I will lose a few listeners, but they probably need the extra time to rinse the starch out of their underwear anyway. Pop some popcorn to throw at the speakers, and listen sitting away from your computer. You don’t want to spray beer on the keyboard.
I am @HeyAmaretto on blip.fm. Danced your first dance to Muskrat Love? Check out tonight’s playlist- and add your own suggestions in the comments.
