It's wild! It's wooly! It's the magical musical game of Tune Tag! One song leads to another, with surprising twists and turns in style, era, and genre! Join the fun!🎶
Ha! These are great, and certainly unexpected. It's awesome to hear first-hand stories around some of the songs I grew up with, Brad. Very cool and fun!
It's also neat to see how different (but interesting) our brains are!
Glad you like, Andrew, and thanks again for your participation! It's definitely an exercise to learn so much about so many things....ourselves, others, and of course, la musica!
I feel like I can go "toe to toe" on describing why I like a song, but your knowledge of the industry is just silly. Very cool to see these factoids and learn.
Your first sentence is all I ever want from a Tune Tag-er! All you know and experienced about a song and/or artist (at the point where your 💖 meets your 👂)! THAT, as they say in the newspaper biz, is the story!
My growing up mainlining pure PVC, and doing what I did in radio'n'records, and loving what I loved is why I do this 'Stack thing....Putting the two together seems like a match made in bow-wow heaven!😁🐕
It certainly sent me scurrying to find a Jennifer perf that might impress you, Andrew! We should try to schedule a "belt-off" between Taylor and Jennifer!
It just hit me...did you ever read our piece on The Last? They're not the hardest band on the block, but they're terribly genial (the 2 bros and I are FB friends), and were vastly flexible back in the day, spanning many styles:
Really enjoyed this. Andrew’s first song and its backstory are very moving. And I can certainly relate to Andrew’s feeling of trying to understand where you coming from with your song choices and just generally this feeling of trying to catch up with your rhythm, Brad. Reminded me of when I played Tune Tag with you. Because we ain’t gonna lie, Brad: playing this game with you, with the music encyclopedia you carry above your neck, is no easy task!! 😅 So well done Andrew, because I for one know it’s not easy!
Thanks, Andy.....You've picked up on what I love most about this game, too....learning about what makes other people musically tick!
Tune Tag happily allows people to share not only what music moves them, but the all-important "why"! That brings us the 💖.
Which is why I appreciate Andrew's participation (and puppy pix!)....we get to discover what matters to him, with music as the foundation! We got to know you better, too, in our TT workout! I know we'll see you again on the Tune Tag.....uh, field? court? diamond?😁
Thanks, Brad! Absolutely. I think the slight “performance anxiety” comes purely from our deep respect for you and your knowledge. But yes, the game is a lot of fun, and it’s great to discover not only new music but also some personal stories of the participants! As always, thanks, and you rock!
Absolutely. I'm game to do it again some time, once others get a chance to play too. I learned some things, and I got to talk about music, which I don't really talk about much over on my own page!
You da bomb, Andrew.....and, I'm tickled this offers you an opportunity to wax musical, in print, where it may not be your usual "Goatfury Writes" focus! I really enjoy your unique 🎶 perspective and POV!

“Like Taylor Dane but less powerful.” Oh Andrew. 🤣
Nice one, right? Foot, meet mouth.
But I also appreciate the urgency of the conversation, so... I totally did that on purpose.
It certainly sent me scurrying to find a Jennifer perf that might impress you, Andrew! We should try to schedule a "belt-off" between Taylor and Jennifer!
Ha! If I liked Taylor Dayne all that much (or knew all that much about her) I would be a little more game.
I can see another conversation about punk, trash, or metal, though- or another edition of Tune Tag for sure.

Not yet, but I will over the weekend!
Anxious to hear your opinion on 'em and their music! I actually have a photo of their house in the piece!

Your reply is far more eloquent than mine! I'll see that my editor tones it down a bit! Hamlet, you're a prince!😉
Ahh, nah! You’re too modest! 😊
Fine, we're even.....you're too kind.....I'm playing it cool: I was gonna call you the word that describes sugar!😎🍫
Thanks, Andres! I found myself both going to school and having a good conversation with someone interested in the same things I am.
Exactly! And I loved your thought processes. This game is a lot of fun but it’s not for the faint hearted 😂

It's a pleasure, amigo!
