A few notes about the #20SongsByYear challenge, which starts again on October 1st:

1. Choose any year you like - even if you see others using the same year! We all have different tastes in music, so it's unlikely you'd totally repeat what someone else is doing.

2. If you...more below! ⬇️

Day 10. Red Rubber Ball - The Cyrkle

I've loved this song for years, but I very recently learned I have a sort of cool "connection" with it: It was recorded on the day I was born. 😀🎉

TRIVIA: Paul Simon co-wrote the song.

For those who like Steely Dan and also like listening to #music while walking and or riding an indoor cycle, here's a piece I wrote about my favorite Steely Dan songs to listen to while I do those activities.

NOTE: They're also equally as great to hear while not moving at all. 😁

10/9: Vampire Gang - Near Dark

As a longtime lover of 'The Lost Boys' film, there's no way I can't use this song for today's challenge:

Lost In The Shadows (The Lost Boys) - Lou Gramm

In no order of preference:

Day 9/15. Stranger In Town

The video for the song was very highly acclaimed. Though the song wasn't a big hit on radio stations, the video was a huge hit on MTV and elsewhere.

It stars actor Brad Dourif.

Day 9. Spooky

The TV series Twin Peaks could be funny at times, mysterious at times...and downright spooky a LOT of the time!

The music created for the series brilliantly fit into those categories.

I loved it all! 😀🎶

Twin Peaks Theme - Angelo Badalamenti
