Saturday 9: Something New (2017)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
Welcome to the first Saturday 9 of 2025.
1) We're beginning the year with a song about new beginnings. What is something new you'd like to try in 2025? I am not very adventurous, but maybe a new to us restaurant or go somewhere new. I was talking to Josh about how I used to go to comedy clubs in my 20's. That might be fun...not new, but fun.
2) The lyrics recall what was said "in the mist of the midnight hour." Where were you when the new year dawned? In my living room watching the celebrations on tv.
3) The Axwell of Axwell and Ingrosso is Axel Hedfors. He began as a drummer and moved on to experimenting musically on the computer, eventually mastering music sequencer software. Do you consider yourself more a technophile like Axwell, who loves technology and digital devices, or more a technophobe, anxious about learning new programs? technophile for sure. I love learning new programs on the computer.
4) His musical partner is Sebastian Ingrosso. Sebastian became interested in dance music when he accompanied his father, a choreographer, to the studio. When you were young, did you ever go to work with either of your parents? I went to their place of work, not necessarily when they were working...my mom.. I went for a short visit every so often, she is an accountant and was busy. My dad was a teacher, so he took me to school with him when no one was there (teachers do this a lot). I suppose when I was in high school I went to work with him since he was a high school teacher and I was in school. I loved that so much.
5) Axwell & Ingrosso gave their premiere performance at the 2014 Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City and their last concert at the 2017 Ultra Music Fest in Miami. Looking back on 2024, did you attend any outdoor music or theater performances? no...Josh and I watched the solar eclipse...sun performance outside. ;) That was so awesome.
6) In 2017, when "Something New" was released, we lost the TV star who could "turn the world on with her smile." Without looking it up, do you know who that is? Mary Tyler Moore
7) Also in 2017, Today Show anchor Hoda Kotb announced she had adopted her first child. Do you know anyone who is adding to their family in 2025? I work with teachers, I believe there are 2 having babies.
8) Have you made any New Year's resolutions for 2025? no, I don't make them, but I did see a meme on facebook that said my NewYear's Resolution is to read more books.
I found it! This is as close to a resolution as I will make. I totally plan to do certain things, but I do not make them resolutions.
9) What was the first thing to make you laugh in 2025? Josh was helping me take the Christmas tree down and said something funny. He always has something funny to say. He has a really dry sense of humor, so things just roll off his tongue.
