My bus driver (an old fella) had his playlist going just loud enough so that I couldn't drown it out with my own tunes (I didn't want to keep turning the volume high and risk long term hearing damage). So I listened to what he had playing and now its stuck in my head. Gawdammit, these are songs my mum & aunties listened to in the 70's!

Like a million other people this week, I found myself falling down the youtube hole of those twin guys from Gary, Indiana who post videos of themselves listening to older songs (for them) for the first time.  They do have some good reactions but I have found I am less interested in their reactions than I am in all the songs they have been listening to.  Although I am familiar with all the artists and most of the songs, there are actually a number of songs I've never listened to myself and then there are some I haven't heard in ages.  It's been a good reminder how much I used to just sit and listen to music and how I haven't done that in a long time and I admit I spent a good couple of hours watching/listening to the music in the videos and have really enjoyed it.

It's also reminded me how much I miss albums and listening to albums as a whole.  I tend to listen to everything as a mish mash of singles these days.  And as I was watching them listen to Yaz (Yazoo)'s  "Don't Go" - and their reaction to Alison Moyet's voice was great! - it just reminded me that "Don't Go" itself is fine but that they were missing out by just listening to it as a single instead of part of the album "Upstairs at Eric's" as a whole.  Some songs really are stand alones but others are best appreciated when listened to in the context of the album they were created for.
