Fifteen weeks and we still don’t seem close to being done with this pandemic. What would the world do without me? Sleep earlier on Friday nights, I suppose, but whatever. I’d like to think I’m providing a bit of positivity in these otherwise pessimistic times. Who knows how all of this will end, or what the world will be like in the aftermath, but for the time being, the best I can offer are some fun songs and delightful chit chat to while away another Friday night at home.
After last week’s failed attempt at a livestreamed karaoke night, we were back to dancing to, and talking over, music. The theme this week was “nickel and dime,” as 10 + 5 = 15. Yeah, not my best effort, but let’s see YOU come up with cleverly themed dance party titles week in and week out. I’ll try harder next week, I promise. It won’t just be “Sweet 16.” I hope.
In the meantime, I’ll be back on Twitch tomorrow to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of my first DJ livestream on Twitch. Join me for a night of Bowie, Bowie, and more Bowie. Yes, it’s my anniversary and I can do what I want, and I want to play nothing but David Bowie records.
