This is as close to a live blog as anything I have done in this project.
I was driving home from the Feb. 22 Mavericks game when my phone battery went dead. I have been recording my impressions almost exclusively on my Samsung Galaxy S4. (An endorsement possibility?) I partially charged the battery a couple of times Sunday, but I took it off the charger when we went to the movies in the afternoon and again in the evening while I was in the media room at American Airlines Center. So it didn't get fully charged, or even half charged.
Then after I got home, a glass of wine was spilled on the chair, the carpet and my sweater, so I lost some time and some ideas about what I wanted to say.
I did remember most of the information about the last three songs I heard, which were from the iHeart Radio Top 20 for this very week from KIIS-FM, which is Sirius XM Channel 11. I'm not sure it's just a Top 20 because it's very exclusive or (as I fear) there aren't enough good songs to go around. The guest hosts were Imagine Dragons, and I'm pretty sure there "Radioactive" wasn't part of the survey.
Maroon 5?, "I Lived", 2015 or maybe '14. This is No. 20. I have recorded observations about this song at least once. Not sure when I'll catch up with those observations on the blog thread. I think this was about 4,600. It's a fairly good song, and it doesn't have the unrelated unibeat of most current songs.
One Direction, I believe it's "Night Changes", also '14 or '15. I'm pretty sure I've commented on this one too. Tonight it came in for me at 4,650.
Imagine Dragons, "Radioactive", '14. My recollection of what I wanted to say about this one (or it might have been "Night Changes") is that it has the characteristic steady beat. It's so steady that it doesn't even change when the song goes in different directions. So I'll take away some points because the tempo doesn't vary, but add some for having a different approach. 4,675.
