I'm a transgender woman who has loved music for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories are of sitting on the floor and listening to 45's and 78's. Music is the essential part of my life. Over the years I made many attempts to make a list of my favorite music. In 2011 I came up with the idea of http://scotts-vital-music.blogspot.com and creating the list by posting a song every day. When I transitioned in 2015 and changed my name I created this blog to continue the project...

"History" by Groove Armada feat. Will Young
I was listening to KCQN a few minutes ago and this awesome song came on. There is no doubt in my mind that the BEST time to listen to KCQN is on the days where Aunt Carri's Newer New Wave is being featured. The reason I loved KCGL and KJQ, those old 80's New Wave stations, is because they were always finding great new music, that was fresh and exciting!
I feel like Carri has captured the spirit of KCGL and KJQ. Her Newer New Wave plays every Wednesday, all day long, and certain weekends. If you are into New Wave it is definitely worth listening!

"The Look Of Love" by Burt Bacharach
I finally took a few minutes to take a nice warm bath last night and relax for a few minutes...
I've decided that I have to quit telling people that I've got a handle on the stress. I had a couple of really good weeks, where I managed the stress very well. But last week it was like "The Universe" upped the ante and the last few days I've really struggled...
Anyway, I was listening to my MP3 player in the bathroom and this song came on. I know that opening riff by heart. But for the life of me I couldn't figure out what song it was.
Funny, though, I knew it was the first track on one side of one of Burt Bacharach's first two A&M albums. Sure enough, come to find out, it was the opening track on side 2 of the "Reach Out" album.
In going to post it this morning I went to the "official" Burt Bacharach one and discovered it was a completely different version. Good but it doesn't have that immediately identifiable opening riff. Turns out there are two official versions...

"Young At Heart" by The Ray Conniff Singers

"No Time" by The Guess Who
Was it the Reiki? Was it the walk around Liberty Park last evening with Carri? Was it not eating much all day and then eating a good amount very late, around 11:00 PM? (I have noticed a correlation with that in the past.) Was it the change to Daylight Savings time? Like I told my son last year: there are too many f'ing variables in the sleep equation!!
Anyway, I was listening to the "American Woman" album this morning and this grabbed me...
The version from the "Canned Wheat" album is extremely cool, it has an extended intro and ending, additional riffs, words,etc.

"Going South" by The Wolfgang Press
I've had more wonderful nights of sleep in the last few months than I've had in over a decade. I don't have any idea why. And now, for over a week, it's gone South again. I have no idea why. The temperature? I have no clue! :(

"Hey Little Girl" by Icehouse
My MP3 player went dead while I was in the dentist's chair on Wednesday. Since music is my anesthetic I got out my phone and listened to an Icehouse playlist on YouTube. There are so many great Icehouse songs. This is another favorite.
Lately the thought: "I'm a girl!" pops into my head all of the time. It is such a great feeling knowing I'm a girl! Just that simple thought makes me so happy!

"Ragtime Cowboy Joe" by Eddy Howard
I was listening to Eddy Howard's "Golden Hits" album this morning and I thought "My Best to You" is such a great song. I did a search and I posted it to my old Scott's Vital Music blog almost a year ago on March 15th. (Unfortunately I couldn't find a video for it on YouTube back then and I still couldn't find one today.)
Anyway, I think this is another fun song...

"I Drink Alone" by George Thorogood and the Destroyers
I went in to use the bathroom this evening and I had to shoo the cats out. I told them: "I pee alone!". I thought "hmm, that reminds me of a song... what is it?". It took me several minutes but I finally remembered this song.
I just love the way various liquors are worked into the lyrics:
So I called up my pal Jack Daniels and his parter Jimmy Beam
Just my pal Johnny Walker and his brothers Blackie and Red
The only one that will hang out with me is my dear Old Grandad
