Saturday 9: Something New (2017)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
Welcome to the first Saturday 9 of 2025.
1) We're beginning the year with a song about new beginnings. What is something new you'd like to try in 2025?
A. I'd like to find a new massage therapist. Mine retired.
2) The lyrics recall what was said "in the mist of the midnight hour." Where were you when the new year dawned?
A. I was in bed when the clock rolled over.
3) The Axwell of Axwell and Ingrosso is Axel Hedfors. He began as a drummer and moved on to experimenting musically on the computer, eventually mastering music sequencer software. Do you consider yourself more a technophile like Axwell, who loves technology and digital devices, or more a technophobe, anxious about learning new programs?
A. I enjoy learning new devices and such, but also dislike having to relearn a program I should already know (like a new incarnation of MS Word), so perhaps a cross between the two.
4) His musical partner is Sebastian Ingrosso. Sebastian became interested in dance music when he accompanied his father, a choreographer, to the studio. When you were young, did you ever go to work with either of your parents?
A. I remember my father taking me and my brother with him on some sales call. School was out for some reason and apparently there was no one to keep us; we were quite young. Mostly I remember it was a long ride in mountainous country and my father was not happy we were along for the ride.
5) Axwell & Ingrosso gave their premiere performance at the 2014 Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City and their last concert at the 2017 Ultra Music Fest in Miami. Looking back on 2024, did you attend any outdoor music or theater performances?
A. I did not attend any performances.
6) In 2017, when "Something New" was released, we lost the TV star who could "turn the world on with her smile." Without looking it up, do you know who that is?
A. That would have been Mary Tyler Moore, right?
7) Also in 2017, Today Show anchor Hoda Kotb announced she had adopted her first child. Do you know anyone who is adding to their family in 2025?
A. I do not know of anyone who adding to their family in the upcoming year.
8) Have you made any New Year's resolutions for 2025?
A. I do not make New Year's resolutions, but I have set some small goals, which you can read here.
9) What was the first thing to make you laugh in 2025?
A. I'm not sure that's happened yet.
#3 some if the “improvements’ they’ve made really aren’t.
ReplyDelete#3 Pet peeve. Why do they have to keep updates programs and moving around the commands.
ReplyDelete#8 I keep my resolutions simple… make it to next year.
I loved your list of things to do this year! Have you read The Women yet? It is on my list. It was not available over the summer to check out and I am working now. Maybe Spring Break. Remove clutter is something I want to do too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find a new massage therapist! I had my first massage last year and it was awesome. The latest thing the girls I work with are doing on hairapy. I think it is basically washing your hair, etc...they massage your scalp with essential oils and you sit in a massage chair while they do this. Interesting. They have 15 min, 30 min and 60 minute sessions. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.

I also was in bed before the stroke of midnight!
ReplyDeleteI don't do resolutions either although I also posted some goals....mainly personal/Social ones and Spiritual ones.
Happy Weekend!
A good massage therapist is a real treasure! I hope you find one soon.
