I wake up every morning with a song stuck in my head. And now it's stuck in yours.

Down In It
I dunno, two months ago or so, this song was featured in the music round at The Castle Quiz, and Carl, the Quizmaster, wrongly attributed it to Rage Against the Machine. Our team, the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers, knew better.

Repeat Loops
Three recent head-songs are replaying this morning. Woke up with the Entertainment Tonight theme again; then a repetitive medley of Zeppelin's Immigrant Song leading into Closer by Nine Inch Nails.
As I progress with this project, I'm finding that the songs manifesting in my head are certainly influenced by blogging about them. A song that would perhaps have been long gone into the unconscious reaches might resurface again and again just from writing about it or re-reading one of my entries. I'm also noticing that I have a slightly anxious anticipation upon waking, in an active wondering of what song might surface. This has possibly "pushed" songs to consciousness that otherwise wouldn't have arrived; some of them due to having blogged about them already, some due to recent exposure from actually hearing the song played. I'm attempting to dismiss songs that feel "forced" upon waking, and opting to blog about the songs that seem to float in more organically if possible.
Also, only two more days to vote for your favorite Geo-Band! Do it now! And if anyone out there has an idea about what the next poll should be, please leave a comment!

Closer
I haven't been a big radio listener for a long time, so '90s and '2000s radio-hit bands and songs remain obscure to me unless they've been burned onto a CD for me by a friend or I've had a pre-'90s fascination with the band already. There was a time during the mid to late '90s when I was a canvasser and we'd listen to the radio in the crew car on our way out to turf, taking turns picking stations. This song was in constant rotation on Live-105. I hated it then, but I've slightly warmed to it, for its dramatic flair. I think I was also too vanilla then to "get" the lyrics. The video, however, is just not my thing.
