“The Gift” by Velvet Underground

Daily writing promptShare one of the best gifts you've ever received.View all responses I haven't gotten a lot of gifts. I remember years back we got a Wii and XBox, though I'm not sure if it was a gift for me or my sister. Anyways, I dunno, I'm not big on gifts -- most things …

“Bills, Bills, Bills” by Destiny’s Child

Daily writing promptWrite about your approach to budgeting.View all responses well, I don't use spreadsheet or anything, I'm just pretty careful. My mom manages most of the budgeting.

Paulo I. – When all the tears have fallen down

finally got a request. So I first thought this was a love song and realized it was probably about worship. It has a good idea with beginning verse and leading up to chorus. However it dreadfully lacks a meaningful bridge in 3 minutes in and seems to keep dragging on. Reminds me a bit of …

Misaligned – Imagery Machine

ah, obscure indie rock band! They popped up in a reddit thread saying they won some San Diego music awards.
