Long flights can be pretty cool. Over Washington state and these mountains make the ones back east look like speed bumps.

Music Question Friday: Look What You Made Me Do Edition. We've done this one before, but let's throw the Swifties a bone on release day and do it again: give me a track you enjoy put out by a female artist. Solo act or a group of ladies, either plays today.

Music Question Friday: Bright And Early Edition. Give me a track that helps you get moving in the morning. Morning commute staple, a go to while you're sipping on your coffee, heck, maybe even set as your alarm on your phone. What gets you going in the morning?

BREAKING NEWS: TYLENOL RESEARCHERS FIND DISTURBING LINK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN

Music Question Friday: You Gotta Hear This Edition. Give me a track that you enjoy sharing with others and don’t expect them to know. A deep cut from an older band, some indie band you know doesn’t have a big following, or a creator you happened to stumble upon and haven’t heard people talking about

Music Question Friday: Front And Center Edition. Done a few of these asking for background music, so let's go the other way. Give me a track that when it's playing, it's got your complete attention. Conversations are paused, other devices are muted, that song gets its time.

Music Question Friday: Better Lucky Than Good Edition. Give me a track you enjoy that you ran into largely by chance. Algorithm took a shot at your taste, randomly caught it playing in a store, or someone queued it up on the jukebox and it stuck with you.

Music Question Friday: On The Road Again Edition. Done this before, but I'm staring down a rather lengthy drive at the moment, so give me your favorite driving music. Something that makes the hours behind the wheel zip right on by.

Music Question Friday: Outside The Norm Edition. People tend to gravitate to a small handful of genres of music, but I’m pretty sure everybody has at least a song or two that falls outside those typical genres that they really enjoy. Give me one of those tracks.

Music Question Friday: So Much Nothing To Do Edition. Hoping it’s a mellow Friday evening for all of you reading this, and in that spirit give me a track you like to put on when you’re relaxing. If you could give doing nothing in particular a background track, what would it be?

White Claw Zero Proof: not even once.

Music Question Friday: Wanna Fight About It Edition. It’s EVO weekend, and in the spirit of that give me a song that gets you in a fighting mood. Maybe not to the point you come to actual blows, but a track that gets you feeling feisty and confrontational.

So now that the cats out of the bag on twitter: See yall at 10am Saturday for XRD top 8!

Music Question Friday: As Old As You Feel Edition. Some music can be decades or even centuries old and still feel relevant in the modern day, but there’s other songs where if they start playing in 2025 the first thought is “damn, that’s a throwback.” Give me one of those throwbacks that you like.

Music Question Friday: You Gotta Try This Edition. Give me a track you actively recommend to people. One you link to people in discord, one you ask to sneak in as one song real quick to someone driving a playlist, or just one you're excited to talk about when asked what you're listening to lately.

Be it ever so humble...

So the profile pic I'd been using was a shot someone got of me at the very first GDQ. That was like 15 years ago, so maybe time for an update, and why not with a pic Fish (don't have a tag) got of me this most recent event. It's not common for me to like a photo of myself, but this one goes hard.

Been years, but back on that garage sale grind this AM. Just turned 5 dollars into this, the deals are still out there.

Music Question Friday: Off Target Audience Edition. Give me a track that you enjoy that, to your mind, wasn't written with you as the intended audience.

Music Question Friday: No Substitute Edition. Give me a band or act (and a track, of course) that scratches a musical itch for you in a way nothing else can. A case where when you get the urge it’s not wanting X type of music, but this act in particular.

Music Question Friday: First Impressions Are Important Edition. Give me a track that you feel has a very strong intro. Could be samples, opening lyrics, or just a generally solid riff, any song that makes you sit up and take notice when it starts playing.

Music Question Friday: Now I'll Show You My True Form Edition. Give me a track you enjoy that doesn't really get rolling or show its best parts until you're a decent chunk of the way through it. Starts off in the OK to meh range, but turns into an absolute banger before it's all said and done.

Music Question Friday: 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong Edition. Deep cuts and more obscure artists are great and all, but there's something to be said for the things that succeed in the mainstream. Give me a track that you expect most people to recognize that you really like.

Music Question Friday: Algorithmically Speaking Edition. Most of my listening to music these days is site/service auto generated playlists. Sometimes the robot takes a shot on something random, and that can work, so give me a track where the algorithm hit your taste just right.

Music Question Friday: Totally Not Predictable Edition. It's Valentine's Day, give me a love song. Can be all traditional, very not traditional, or maybe just a stretch you make in your own head (though show your work if you go that route).

Music Question Friday: Going Places Edition. Give me a track you enjoy listening to while traveling. Driving, walking, running, riding, whatever. Just that good background when you're going from point A to point B, or on the weekend point C.

Music Question Friday: Missed It Edition. This has been a common phenomenon for me lately: give me a track that you like that you just completely missed when it was new. You were around when it released and would've liked it then, but ended up being multiple years late to the party in finding it.

Music Question Friday: Just For Laughs Edition. Give me a song you think is funny. Doesn't necessarily need to be a song that the artist intended to be funny (though it can be), just a song that makes you laugh when you hear it.

Doing some reading this AM and got hit with the line "We are more than the problems we face," and that just hit me where I live. Good line is good.

And to the influx of new followers, welcome in. If you were hoping for behind the curtain GDQ stuff, you're going to be largely disappointed I'm afraid. If you were wanting random question about music you like, oh, I got you.

Music Question Friday: Your Little Secret Edition. Give me a track from a band or act you like that isn’t very well known. Local artist, opening act at a show you’d never heard of but dug their sound, or just something off the beaten path you stumbled into.

Post a pic you took with no description to bring some zen to the timeline.

Music Question Friday: New Year, Same You Edition. Give me a track that entered your music rotation some time ago and just never left. Something that you've queue up at least somewhat regularly from when you first heard it up until now.

Alright, I'll play along. 5 favs, 5 tags! game: video: FFT is my kneejerk, just game: NL Texas Hold em tv show: Pushing Daisies animal: Penguins, they're neat number: 7 color: royal blue @klaige.bsky.social @beepsalt.itch.io @lrock617.bsky.social @explodedsoda.bitch.vision @zallard1.bsky.social

Music Question Friday: You Do You Edition. I'm not feeling structure this evening, so just give me a song that you like. A decade's long favorite, something you heard recently and have been enjoying, or anything in between. Just a song that you like. That's it. That's the prompt.

Shout outs to my Lost Boys. Blue-marang.

Music Question Friday: The Only Response Edition. Give me a track that will pop into your head every time in response to a mundane thing you encounter. Someone says a phrase, you see something out and about, you recognize a situation, this song is playing in your head immediately.

Music Question Friday: It's Theirs Edition. Give me a track that always makes you think of a particular person. Don't have to name or tag the person if you don't want, but a track that brings someone to mind whether it's for good, bad, or sad reasons.

Music Question Friday: The One From The Thing Edition. Give me a track you like that's featured on a soundtrack. Can be any kind of media soundtrack: movie, TV, video game, whatever. Also does not to be exclusive to that soundtrack, just a song you know and like from a thing.

Yes, I'm religious. I believe in the holy trinity.

Happy Whamageddon Eve to all who celebrate. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Music Question Friday: No Words Edition. After a lyrics based question last week, let's lean hard in the other direction. Give me a track you like that has no words. Can be a contemporary instrumental, classical piece, something electronic, whatever, just as long as it has no lyrics.

It's Friday and thus it is time to torture myself with another rousing run of the SMZ3 randomizer. What horrible fate awaits me for daring to hope Super Metroid and LTTP want to give me key items to do the things. You'll have to drop by to find out. twitch.tv/Klaige

Music Question Friday: Story Time Edition. Most song lyrics are combination of assorted words made to make you feel a way about something. Sometimes though, those lyrics tell a legit series of events with a distinct beginning, middle, and end. Give me one of those that you like.

Music Question Friday: Could Use A Smile Edition. Think the timeline in general could use a little positivity currently. Give me a song that makes you happy. Doesn't necessarily need to be a happy song, it just needs to put a smile on your face when you hear it.

...the hell?

Music Question Friday: Got It Covered Edition. There’s so many good cover songs out there, some arguably better than the original. Give me a favorite of yours. And yes, we've been to this well before. It's a good well, enjoy it.

Music Question Friday: Grew On You Edition. Give me a track that you didn’t really think too much of the first time you heard it, but it grew on you on over time. A radio song that was just kinda there, or that album track you’d skip over but then you find yourself specifically queuing up.

Music Question Friday: It's Electric Edition. Electronic music takes a lot of forms, so whether it's some gritty industrial, chiptunes, 90s/00s club raver beats, or some of that recent EDM stuff the kids are listening to these days, give me a track you enjoy.
