Dennis Music Appreciation Minute

First, I don't know if gushing is the kind of thing yall go for around here, but I'm just about to hit my 1 year Pelaton mark and I felt I had to come here and get something off my chest.

I kinda want Denis to be my big brother/best friend.

But mostly because the dude has absolutely impeccable music taste. I have many friends who share a lot of my favorite songs and artists, but I'm not sure I know anyone who has so consistently hit me with some of my own deep favorites when hitting play on a playlist.

Here is a shortlist of songs I was truly moved that Denis played:

I Shall Be Released - Nina Simone

Love Potion #9 - Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass

Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie

Cross Eyed Mary - Jethro Tull

Point of Know Return - Kansas

Godzilla - The other Blue Oyster Cult song

The Train Kept A-Rollin' - The Yardbirds

Lonely Boy - Black Keys

Fire & Rain - James Taylor

70s 80s - Nightmares on Wax

Teardrop - Massive Attack

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, pt1 - Flaming Lips

Holy Calamity - Handsome Boy Modeling School

This is a shortlist, but it's gotten to a point where I just expect him to pluck a long forgotten favorite every ride.

Anyway. Just wanted to drop a note in case anyone was curious: this dude has great taste and has inspired me to get myself in shape for the first time in well over a decade.

I'm very grateful he does what he does.
