Earworm: “Staying Alive” by [The] Bee Gees
Tell me, how can you not love the Bee Gees?
I often, while growing up not paying any close attention to music, found difficulty differentiating The Beatles from the Bee Gees.
My dad constantly had to explain to me, and so now I know the dire differences between the two British supergroups.
And I love them both.
I’m also an avid fan of BBC Sherlock, and hearing this song on that show was… thrilling.
Listen to the Bros. Gibb. Listen. (But I’d consider lowering your speaker volume, you’ll lose some hearing from them.)
Coming soon!
We here at JWAB have much in store. I, Cheesecake, as self proclaimed head of the music/arts/entertainment sections of JWAB, have been closely watching the releases of the albums of three artists. Expect an individual review for all three. See you all soon
Enigma
Today, I will present to you a story. Something we haven’t done here on JWAB before is post fiction. We’ve never come up with some short stories (not articles) to maybe entertain (or in today’s case, confuse) the audience.

Okay, if you’ve been following for a while…
Hold on, wait, damn, I start a lot of my posts this way.
Whatever.
You’d know that I’m Filipino (not exactly proud, but I’d say it if you specifically asked for my ethnicity. If you ask what am I, I’d say an American. Again, not proudly. I’d love to be English, lots of people would love to be English). [Keep reading after the break to find out what the hell I’m going on about!] (more…)
Top 30 Favorite Songs of All Time: #1
The first. The only. The song that brought christened me into the world of music.
Numb, by Linkin Park, off Meteora, their end-all, be-all best album, no matter how much I love Living Things and A Thousand Suns (and hell, Hybrid Theory and Minutes to Midnight. I love them all).
The Big Cheese, yes, him again, got me to listen to this song when I was quite young. I listened to it all the time in his trooper of a red Dodge Neon.
This needs no explanation. This song… is epic.
Top 30 Favorite Songs of All Time: #5 “Lost” by Frank Ocean
Here we are, at #5. You know how I told you that none of the songs would actually be placed in order? Well, I lied. I actually do have a set top 5, and you’ll get the songs as my brain saw fit. In order from 5 to 1.
Number 5 is Lost, off of Frank Ocean’s Grammy Award-winning debut album, Channel Orange.
There’s no explanation coming for this one. It’s just fantastic to me.
Top 30 Favorite Songs of All Time: #6 “Let’s Groove” by Earth, Wind, & Fire
You all knew I’d throw in some damn boogie, don’t deny it. You saw it coming. Even I saw it coming. But who can forget boogie?
God, growing up with old parents isn’t too bad when it comes to music if you just accept it. I was willing to listen to anything. Literally, as a child, I was only exposed to music that wasn’t old or shitty Filipino music when I was in a car with JezzaNorris
This though… I remember The Big Cheese dancing to this in DDR in his old house. I remember the epic fails I had at attempting to dance to this.
Listen, and boogie on down. (This was the first music video to appear on BET in 1981)
Top 30 Favorite Songs of All Time: #8 “Young Blood” by The Naked and Famous
Arguably this New Zealand indie electronic ensemble’s best known song, it lands at #8 on my list which is, as a reminder for you all, in no particular order besides me just telling you how it is.
This was the first song I listened to when I downloaded the Spotify app months ago. This song turned me onto testing my musical tastes, yknow?
The beat is mellow and it really relaxes me. Call me a hipster, I dare you.
I just wrote a blog
