BIC Playlist

[danielledanielle]

There's music all around us!  This thread can serve as inspo for finding your next tune, discovering the song of the season or just vibing off a playlist!

This was inspired by my latest question in Beauty Ice Breakers and @JoSometimes 

If you had a theme song (think like 90s sitcom) when you put your makeup or skincare on, what would it be?

[danielledanielle]

I'm intrigued by lullabies by Green Day, 🤣

Also, that's a really nice memory of you and your kiddo 🥰

[CynthieLu]

@danielledanielle I think it was Rockabye Baby Greenday, I just checked it is on Spotify if you get super curious. 😉

Thank you for this tag, it did get me thinking of memories I hadn't thought of in long a time. 💕

@danielledanielle Baby G is getting into music too! At first i thought it was time to give him a proper musical education (I grew up on disco at my house, because that was my dads favourite), but it hasn’t done the job of getting him to sleep, and the white noise puts me to sleep more than it does for him!

im trying to avoid screen time, but I can’t deny that the Hey Bear songs/playlist is actually really goood….. i play it on my phone and connect it to a speaker so there isn’t any actual screens playing those little dancing fruits.

ill have to try out some of the suggested songs here - G is loving head and shoulders and itsy bitsy spider, but there is no way to make that more fun for me 😂

[CynthieLu]

@cianni  That's a beautiful memory. When your were a kid did your Dad ever play you Disney's Disco record? Those songs 😂 but maybe something Baby G would like some day. 🩵

OMGosh, @danielledanielle !  This song is fabulous! 🥰🎶  Songs I immediately thought of are

- Rainbow Connection (Muppets Movie)

- Chariots of Fire by Vangelis (Chariots of Fire movie)

- Oceans by Pearl Jam

If I were doing a road trip, I would probably listen to Stone Temple Pilots.

[CynthieLu]

@Titian06 oh I loved the 'Rainbow Connection' and still do, I think it's right up there with 'Somewhere Out There'. Both are pretty sweet and soothing to hear. 

[danielledanielle]

@Titian06, isn't it?  The artist (Jeff Kaale) has a whole album with this dreamy-funk-synth vibe, so I went down the rabbit whole and ended up liking a few of his other tracks.

I love rainbow connection.  Not the lullaby version though 🤣😅

[Titian06]

@danielledanielle - I just thought of another artist:  Enya.  You might remember Oronoco Flow.  I have a number of her albums; I just don't have a record player. 😄

[PrettyPaint]

I went through a very big Enya phase at one point in time @Titian06 

[ThatGirlMadi]

@danielledanielle Still into you Paramore is my favorite song when doing my makeup it is just so happy and upbeat. my overall music taste is kinda all over the place tho so it varies on my mood. Sometimes I listen to super sad music when doing my makeup.

[danielledanielle]

Sometimes a sad song is a mood, @ThatGirlMadi, not weird at all

[danielledanielle]

Me and Dan Dan were vibing off the following this morning:

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush

Stepping Out - TY @CocoLancome28 

Then we made a shift --

Where Have You Been - Rihanna

God's Plan - Drake

Giving You More - Aaliyah

Yonce (and yes, this is questionable but DanDan isn't making memories)

I'm Your Baby Tonight (he also got fussy at this, which made me question his lineage 😂🤣)

[ThatGirlMadi]

@danielledanielle your songs are a vibe

[danielledanielle]

Thank you @ThatGirlMadi

Today’s get ready music came from one of my favorite albums by anyone: In the Heart of the Moon by Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté. I let my phone shuffle the album and it gave me, in this order: 

• Kaira 
• Simbo 
• Mamadou Boutiquier 
• Gomni 
• Kadi Kadi 
• Hawa Dolo 

This album is a jam session (they didn’t rehearse before recording) by 2 of Mali’s best musicians: Ali Farka Touré was among the world’s best guitarists, and any blues fan should know his name; Toumani Diabaté is one of the world’s most famous kora players. World Circuit Records (this album’s record label) has a playlist of the full album on YouTube, if anyone wants to take a listen. 

Fun trivia: 

Spoiler

The kora is one of my favorite instruments. The way it’s made, tuned (both traditional and modern methods), and played have fascinated me since I first heard a kora in the ‘80s.

Kora players usually come from historian families in west African countries, and the skill is traditionally passed from father to son. In a future post, I might talk about one of the very few female kora players from one of these families. (Hint: she’s Toumani Diabaté’s cousin.)

In the Heart of the Moon is one of my happy places. It’s a temporary escape from all of, well… *waves arm at all the horrible deadly crap happening in the world right now* This album’s also a mental reboot: I usually come away from it feeling calmer and ready to face/combat *waves arm again*.
