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.
