Blogocentric Formulations
Logocentric (adj). Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics).
Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, many taken from the following places:
 "The Soundtrackers Group" 
"Blogging Circle of Friends "
"Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"
"JAFBG"
"Take up Your Cross"
Thanks for stopping by!

"The Soundtrack of Your Life" | DAY 5
"Nobody Compares To You" by Gryffin feat. Katie Pearlman
See the previous post ("This Is Last Call" ) for context, as this is the other song from the To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You trailer that I've been listening to since the Valentine's Day screening I arranged for my wife. There was a little more information to be found on Gryffin than there was on the previous band (NineOneOne), so this entry is going to be a little more about the artist and the things that I found interesting.
Gryffin originally gained recognition doing popular remixes of well-known songs. He's a classically trained pianist and learned to play the guitar at a young age, then studied electrical engineering at USC. Combining his two skills/interests, he became a DJ, musician, and record producer whose style is often described as "melodic house music" which is most often accomplished by incorporating piano and guitar sounds into his remixes to create a sound that's a blend of electronic and analog.
I'll definitely be checking out more music by Gryffin, because I enjoy house/dance music but not the type that's really harsh and dissonant. Now that I know "melodic house music" is a thing, I'm definitely going to want to check out more tracks by this artist and in this subgenre.

"The Soundtrack of Your Life" | DAY 4
"This Is Last Call" by NineOneOne
For Valentine's Day this year, my wife and I wanted to go see a movie but there wasn't anything in the theaters that really screamed "date movie." However, I did know that she had been really wanting to see Netflix's To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, the long-awaited sequel to 2018's To All the Boys I've Loved Before. So I rented out the theater room we have in our apartment complex so that she could watch it on the big screen just the two of us and a bagful of snacks, while Grandma watched the kids.
While I can't say that I found the movie particularly excellent, while I was setting up the viewing I did get a chance to see the movie's trailer , which had a pretty great soundtrack. I actually started listening to both of the songs on the trailer's soundtrack and have had them in pretty heavy rotation all weekend.
I actually don't know a lot about the band or the history of the song, it's just one that I think has a pleasant beat and is just energetic enough to be something I can play in the background while I'm working to focus. I have a feeling this one will be in the rotation for a while.
