My life in music videos
Inspired by Greg Stump's 'mixoir', 1971 (a mix of songs from each year of Greg's life) and recent YouTube video exchanges with Annette Lozano I am compelled to share some music videos that reflect my life to some degree. Like Greg's amazing mix I have divided these music videos into three categories:
- I: Anachronism (1986-1990) - These years are represented by music videos that I love from their respective years although I wasn't listening to them as an infant/toddler.
- II: Nostalgia (1991-1999) - These years are represented by music videos that I may or may not love, but at the time they were somewhat important to me.
- III: Equanimity (2000-2010) - Like Nostalgia, these years are represented by music videos that were important to me at the time and I still love.
