Tonight at the dinner table, Samuel decided it was time to do a little singing.

Andrew Peterson’s latest single. Great song.
…so let’s all celebrate by:
+ jamming out to Social Distortion, Pennywise, Son Volt, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana
+ having a good laugh while watching stupid-funny movies
+ diving into a good book
+ passionately teach a group of high schoolers how much God loves them, and how they can love Him
+ show off our family through Proud Dad & Uncle Alerts
+ fill up a journal with our innermost thoughts and secrets, even if we never share them with anyone else
+ do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God
Happy birthday, bro. Love ya.
Because: “That’s how you do it, son.”
(I love the little point with the breadstick at the end. My favorite part.)
Brilliant mash-up.
Except you haven’t heard it like this:
I haven’t done this in a while, so here are the first ten songs from the iPod’s shuffle mode today:
“Remedy” – David Crowder Band
“Already” – Rush of Fools
“The Fist Fight/The Flying Wing” – Raiders of the Lost Ark Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
“Once Again” – Matt Redman
“666 Degrees” – Ceili Rain
“There’s No Way” – Alabama
“There’s a Mother Always Waiting at Home” – Johnny Cash *
“Go” – MercyMe
“Dr. Feelgood” – Motley Crue
“The Wall” – Johnny Cash
As usual, all links are to the song on the Amazon MP3 store, except those marked with an asterisk. Those links are to the physical CD, as the song isn’t sold in MP3 format.
We’ve all had that song that gets stuck in our head. That happened to me today. Not sure how it happened, since I didn’t hear the song in a commercial or TV show, or anything like that. Just one second, it was there.
The song? “Edge of Seventeen,” by Stevie Nicks.
So when it came time to go pick D up from school, as we departed from the house, I cranked that very song in the truck for S and I to enjoy. While sitting at a stop light, I decided to use the Genius function to create a playlist of like-minded songs, and here’s the result:
* “Edge of Seventeen” — Stevie Nicks
* “The Chain” — Fleetwood Mac
* “Magic Man” — Heart
* “Wheel in the Sky” — Journey
* “Hungry Like the Wolf” — Duran Duran
* “Heat of the Moment” (Acoustic) — Asia
* “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic” — The Police
* “Hold The Line” — Toto
* “Sharp Dressed Man” — ZZ Top
* “Brass in Pocket” — The Pretenders
* “Your Love” — The Outfield
* “These Dreams” — Heart
* “Baby, I Love Your Way” — Peter Frampton
* “Leather and Lace” (with Don Henley) — Stevie Nicks
* “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” — Dead Or Alive
* “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” — Rod Stewart
* “Go Your Own Way” — Fleetwood Mac
* “Renegade” — Styx
* “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” — Journey
* “Crazy On You” — Heart
* “So Caught Up In You” — 38 Special
* “Dream Weaver” — Gary Wright
* “Just What I Needed” — The Cars
* “Here I Go Again” — Whitesnake
* “Won’t Get Fooled Again” — The Who
The inclusion of “The Chain” raised my eyebrows. I expected Fleetwood Mac to make an appearance, given Nicks’ membership in the band. The rest of the list, mostly staples of the ’80s, is also not surprising, except for “Dream Weaver” and “Here I Go Again”. Losing the former makes the playlist that much better, and the only reason it’s in my library is because it was on a soundtrack (likely Wayne’s World) or compilation.
