What’s up Sorry State readers, I hope everyone has had a nice week. I feel like I talk about the weather a lot when I’m writing my staff picks but that’s cause it really does affect what I’m listening to. We had some nice spring days here in Raleigh this past week and whenever the weather’s in the 70s, me and Dom like to crack the door open at the store and let the breeze in. Yesterday was one of the closest it’s felt to spring in a while cause a lot of the flowers are starting to bloom, so there are all kinds of spring scents in the air. I found myself playing through the first three Blondie albums and I was reminded how much I love listening to them. Debby Harry has one of my favorite voices of all time and it hits just right on a warm spring day. Sometimes it takes a while to gain an appreciation for a song even if you’ve heard it a bunch of times, not that it’s bad or anything, but sometimes a song just doesn’t really jump out at you. Yesterday while listening I gained a new appreciation for the song Rip Her to Shreds off the first album. It’s just a fun song to listen to. Also on the most recent episode of Dom’s radio show, Worldy, he played (I’m Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear and it made me realize how much I like that song too. It’s always nice to go back to an album you really enjoy and find a new reason as to why you love it. Go listen to some Blondie.
