Mikeydred's Sounds 2024
Introduction I am not sure how to do this. A Lot happens to me, but the events are seldom soundtracked by a particular song. However, music is always playing, and you know that almost every poem, story and article that I publish on Vocal has an appropriate song added to it for you to listen to as you read.

REVELATION
It was a time of change for McKinnon High School. No mere slaves to long-established convention they had taken the radical step, just in time for my enrolment, of abandoning caps for boys and gloves for girls. Girls still had to wear hats, of course. Who knows what passions might be inflamed in twelve year old cusp-of-adolescents if they encountered liberated hair? Experienced staff members shuddered at this collapse of values, while newer recruits to the ranks of late-60s educators quietly rolled their eyes.

Short n' Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter - Bop or Flop?
ALBUM OF THE YEAR. LYRICAL. ADDICTIVE. Short n' Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter is definitely high on the list for songs I cannot turn off. Each and every song off this album is just *chef's kiss*. So good. So, so good. You'd want to crank up the stereo volume and dance down the street to most songs on this album... shed a little tear for a couple others. No matter what, you will not be turning this album off once you press play (As long as you're 18+... because the songs and it's lyrics are definitely not kid friendly at all. This album was in true Former Disney Star fashion, I must say).
