Ep. 15
Part Of That World
In elementary school, there was a physical education teacher who would sing songs from the Little Mermaid. Here’s my turn.

Ep. 14
On the Radio
Since the Olympics, slowly I’ve become quite fixated on the age of Donna Summer disco…I know this is not part of the suite of MacArthur Park, but it was one of the songs I found on KTU back in the day.
Ep. 14
Third Eye Blind's Wounded
Thinking about all the gendered harm and neglect that is happening, and acknowledging it with this song.
Ep. 13
Wild Horses
This rendition of Wild Horses is based on the version of Wild Horses Alicia Keys and Adam Levine performed live in Brooklyn 2005. This is to acknowledge the year of the Fire Horse.
Ep. 12
Tomorrow Never Dies
I’ve decided to pick the song for THE Bond movie that is most appropriate as an Asian American. Tomorrow Never Dies featured Michelle Yeoh in 1997. This was when representation still mattered and Vietnam was not really a place where most American tourists would even consider visiting.
Ep. 11
Fools Rush In
Who knows whether or not Crazy Rich Asians will get a film sequel? But Fools Rush In was the song they used for the wedding… and this is my take on it. (Also, I think I prefer posting every other week for now.)
Ep. 10
You Oughta Know
Another song of the 90s. I think this is the one Alanis is probably most known for. The first time I heard her whole album my neighbors were over to celebrate my birthday and brought the CD. I was asked if profanity was okay. Considering I have a Pisces sun and Leo moon, I very easily accept emotional expression. It’s also a different emotion that is a part of grief – not the sad and bargaining type like in the Boyz II Men song.
