NaNoWriMo – Day 15
Yikes, halfway through NaNoWriMo already? OK, despite setbacks, I am still going to reach my 30K goal for the month. Perhaps I’ll exceed that target if I’m really well behaved.
Today’s playlist song is ‘Rapture’ by Blondie. I saw Blondie live for the first time ever in July when I was in L.A. Spur-of-the-moment thing. I was in the ‘burbs and I spotted a plain hot-pink bill on a power pole that read “Blondie, Adam Ant, Thomas Dolby, Soft Cell – Microsoft Theater”. Thought I was dreaming. So I Googled on the spot, bought a ticket, and there I was, just two days later, mere metres from Deborah Harry. Amazing gig. Best moment was when they melded ‘Heart of Glass’ with Donna Summer’s ‘I Feel Love’. Finding out just now how much my cat loves the synths in the latter.
A newer Blondie song that’s worth a listen is ‘Long Time‘, which they also played at this gig.
Download ‘Rapture’ from Blondie’s ‘Autoamerican’ album on iTunes.
