2024 Soundtrack
Party Train by The GAP JANUARY 1, 2023, we awoke early to finish preparations for guests and our good luck New Year's Day meal for friends and family. "Party Train" by The Gap was blasting throughout the house; we danced around the kitchen while my husband prepared the meat, and we set out snacks. Guests were arriving impatient to eat his exceptional food. We had collard greens symbolizing greenbacks (folding paper money), black-eyed peas to bring wealth in coins, and lima beans and rice, our standard comfort foods for gatherings. He always makes chicken and sometimes his famous baby back ribs.

My Musical Journey of 2024. Content Warning.
In January, I listened to a lot of sea shanty style music or Irish jig music. I needed the upbeat tunes to help me stay present for my children as I was fighting an upward battle with feeling like I could never make it out of my life's circumstances whole.

2023 Music Journey Into Outer Space
A Brief Bit About My Music History I grew up listening to 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s music. My dad has been a major influence on my music tastes, having introduced me in my childhood to the wonderful and wacky sounds of new wave and the iconic 70’s and 80’s soft rock and pop songs. I didn’t know who exactly I was listening to back then, but as I grew up, I always remembered them and liked that kind of music. Growing up in the 90’s and early 2000’s, I was naturally exposed to the music coming out at that time. I distinctly remember listening to Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Ricky Martin, and NSYNC on CDs. Interestingly, I never fully took to the music of my own era. I loved the sound of the 80’s. When I was a teenager, I started really paying attention to who and what specifically I was listening to as a kid. Hall & Oates, Journey, Huey Lewis and the News, Chicago, Barry Manilow, Genesis, REO Speedwagon, Simply Red, A Flock of Seagulls, Tears for Fears, Cyndi Lauper, Spandau Ballet, Talking Heads, Styx, Air Supply, and an endless list of so so so many more. I did have some other distinctly different music periods in my life but, from my childhood to 2022, the main music I listened to and preferred was from the decades before my birth.

SHUFFLE ALL
It’s the end of November, I’m drinking cold brew, and starting this out on my phone. My laptop died a few days ago, so I’m resorting to this alternative method. Hopefully it’s just an issue with the power cable, and not the laptop itself (I’ll know in a few days when the replacement cord arrives). Otherwise, I’ve more than likely lost the drawing I was working on. Downside of digital art. But I have my notebooks, sketchbook, and phone, so I can still work on some things and try not to think about how fast this week off of work went by. Part of me is dreading going back on Monday. But I told myself I wasn’t going to think about that. It’s the end of November and I’m in a coffee shop listening to Fu Manchu and trying to stay inspired.

What is Joe Budden Famous For?
Joe Budden is a celebrated figure in hip-hop, known for his lyrical talent, influential mixtapes, and outspoken personality. Emerging from Jersey City, New Jersey, he first gained mainstream attention with his 2003 single “Pump It Up.” The song, characterized by its energetic beat and catchy hook, became a club anthem and earned Budden a Grammy nomination. While this remains his most commercially successful track, his fame is deeply rooted in his contributions to hip-hop’s mixtape culture and his ability to address personal and social issues through his music.

L(ov/if)e Story
[A combination of “Letters of Gratitude” and “The Sountrack of Your Year” challenges] . . My love, We are reaching the end of this first year, 2024, with no interruption of you in my mind and I want to thank you for your constant presence in my nomad life. I want to give you something that would remain in our minds no matter the passing-by of years to come. Since I know you love music as much as I do, this letter will be a humble musical depiction of what my world looked like/felt like throughout the year. I want you to see how, even when you were not physically there at times, you were always there with me.
