It’s the last day of #BilliesMusicMonth:
Dance/move your body

For the last entry, I submit “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” by Selena. I can’t hear this and not move some part of my body - it’s physically impossible.

Thanks so much to everyone who participated!! 🕺😄

#BilliesMusicMonth Day 26

For a radio project a few years back (before the movie), I listened to every song from all 52 Barbie animated films, & as weird as it feels, I kinda dig this one 😆 ✨a bunch of the DJs danced to it for months that year🕺🪩

After more than a decade away, I’ve started making music again just this past month, and this song is a good anthem for it 🕺🎸🎤🥁

“Give It Away” cover by LTrain

Remembering bell hooks’ practice of giving away most of her wealth, living fairly simply, prioritizing her community & those in need. We could use more like her.

Motivate you to volunteer

“This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them & let’s start trying
To make this a world worth living in”

“Land of Confusion” cover by Katzenjammer is my favorite rendition of a great song.

Love the little things

“Varied Thrush” by Sparkbird feels to me like getting to live briefly like the titular bird (but not a tit 😉). I’ve enjoyed the few songs of their’s I’ve heard so far 🐦‍⬛

A song that makes you clap 👏

“That Thing You Do” by Adam Schlesinger for the movie of the same title. Tom Hanks’ screenwriting & directorial debut is lovely & Adam’s song remains a standout in it. Such a big COVID loss 😢

Finish that project!

I could probably write an entire essay on why “Taste the Biscuit” motivates me to creative work, but I think ultimately it comes down to:
