It's time.

Please pick a song from a bad description! This time, all the songs on the playlist come from that seminal 90s late night tv commercial classic --

Pure Moods.

Not all songs are from the first cd (I didn't realize how many Pure Moods there were, actually), but they did all come from a version of a Pure Moods CD. So the songs should not be as mysterious as they usually are. For the record, though, you do not have to recognize or guess any of the songs to vote. Just vote for the bad description that appeals most to you.

At the end of a week, I will make a playlist of these songs in order from the song with the least number of votes to the song with the most number of votes. If you would like to hear the playlist when it's dropped but know that you're going to get rid of the notification for the poll as soon as you see it, leave a comment or put it in your reblog and I will tag you in the final post. And if you really want to know what a song is but don't feel like going through four Pure Moods albums and one Pure Moods Celtic album (for obvious reasons I skipped the Christmas one), just shoot me an ask and I will answer.

And that's all! Please reblog!

 Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me. Melville, Moby Dick Page 1

Enya slaps!

I literally got into EDM because of her. I owe Enya, Enigma, and Deep Forest a lot.

Her song Boadicea inspired my Spear Theory.

The film LA Story gave my my favorite Enya song.

She was a soundtrack to my karate class at summer camp!

The other day at the grocery store they were playing Caribbean Blue and I started swaying!

PURE MOODS

Found myself watching the commercial for Pure Moods II (spoiler alert: there was a Pure Moods II), and got slapped in the face by the realization that I haven't thought of Loreena McKennitt since, like, the nineties.

Last month I found Pure Moods Vol. 3 at Miranda’s Thrift in Arcata, and played it during my radio show to celebrate. I kept thinking about how I wanna find Volume 1 to get all those truly classic tracks, and yesterday found it out front of Old Town Antiques when I quickly peaked in one of the cd bins walking by. To hear my selection tune in this Sunday 9am to humboldthotair.org or check out the archive for two weeks. Another very specific cd manifestation, on a wonderful roll. ✨📀✨

I think if anyone asks why I'm gay I'll just hand them a Pure Moods vol. 3 CD and tell them to have at it.
