The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - The Covers Playlist
Introduction This playlist is cover versions of songs by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. I saw them live many times and unfortunately, we lost Alex to a heart attack the day before his 48th birthday in 1982. He had still been performing for three decades as he began performing in Skiffle groups in 1954.

When Times Are Rough.
What I Choose ~ Taylor Hall This song allowed me to see the light at the end of the tunnel; it helped me realize how important it is to experience the positive moment even when times are rough. This song gave me the ability to see that the dark times in our lives are necessary for growth. Without hard and dark times we wouldn’t appreciate the lighter, more loving times in our lives. I discovered this song at a time when I felt like things were out of my control. Which they were, but I do have a choice whether to allow certain aspects of life to ruin my day or I can fixate on the things that are going well for me. It’s what I choose.

Ten Essential Steely Dan Deep Cuts
I have been a Steely Dan fan for 45 years and have each studio album permanently etched into the reccesses of my subconscious mind. I did more than just listen to the albums. I studied them and I memorized the placement of each instrument and vocal. I dug deep into the musical and vocal arrangements. The technical side of Steely Dan's albums is amazing. Gary Katz produced the entire lot of albums from Steely Dan's classic period of 1972 to 1980 and Roger Nichols engineered every one of Steely Dan's albums right down to 2003's Everything Must Go. Nichols had a reputation for creating an impeccable sound quality. He paid close attention to every detail of every instrument and vocal that was placed in front of him. His finesse in the studio was responsible for turning a great band into a phenomenal band. Nichols was best known for working with Steely Dan and John Denver. But he also worked with countless other musicians.

Playlist: Music and Reflection
Seven years old - I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman The first song I can remember relating to is this song. I remember watching the movie Crossroads and Britney Spears was in her prime. I know. Typical. Every girl relates to this song. The simple fact of not wanting to be a child anymore, let me grow up, but also not knowing who the heck I am suppose to be. I was just a girl with divorced parents and with a new stepdad, a narrative more common than not, but to me, it was a decision made by my parents that made me feel like I will never be happy. How am I suppose to grow up with my parent's split up going back and forth and having to make decisions such as "who do I want to spend Christmas with this year?" How do my siblings and I make these decisions without hurting anyone's feelings? How will I be raised correctly? Who will I be? At this point, I had no idea I was going to continue changing throughout the years. It is not like you hit a certain age and stay that way forever.

Meghan’s Melodic Playlist
Hello everyone! I'm looking forward to this! This is the most important exercise for me about this challenge by sharing the music that has shaped my life, lifting up my mood, expressing my feelings/emotions, battling my struggles/pain, seeking amazing adventures, and celebrating my moments, and so on… Creating our own music playlist is always one of the best coping tools and very fun creative tools as well.

Late Review: "Saint Latin's Day Love Massacre"
Everyone loves nostalgia. Okay, maybe not necessarily, but there's no denying that older works are what make the present what it is. What I really mean is that, it is impossible to ignore past works of art when they have such an impact on the present. The butterfly effect is real, people.

Migrant Motel Shows Great Promise with New Song 'Party'
Migrant Motel is a Los Angeles based Alt.Pop duo that have been releasing music and touring since 2017. They have been building a solid career by releasing singles backed with exceptionally well-done videos, and touring – including headlining the BMI stage at Lollapalooza in 2021. Their new single, “Party” flips the script on the usual party song by telling a tale of infatuation that never comes to fruition. It’s a universal story about wanting someone who doesn’t want you back – a relatable theme that is the backbone of this rising duo’s music.
