Ep. 4: Fascination Street

VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my fourth episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Fascination Street," I talk about the origins of my music collection with a focus on artists in my collection whose names or works begin with the letter C.

In my Title Track segment, I talk about the history of my music collection, some of my influences, and the addition of the first two commercially released studio cassettes to my music collection, purchased in 1989, "Disintegration" by The Cure, and "Sonic Temple" by The Cult.

In Lost Tracks [music reauthorized to my Apple Music collection], I've added tracks by Chignon, Cyndi Lauper, Carly Simon, The Cab, Chronic Future, Christina Aguilera, Cascada and I talk a bit about Coda's cover of "California Dreaming," and my philosophy behind adding covers to my collection. I also added music by Lizzo and Taylor Swift and several different ambient music entries by my Denver DJ friend Drew Brady, who submitted original work to NPR's Tiny Desk contest as Brother Saturn -- check that out here: https://youtu.be/pUSwV30NXyM

Also, Concrete Blonde's "Recollection," Cowboy Junkies' "Pale Sun, Crescent Moon" and "Zoot Suit Riot" by The Cherry Poppin' Daddies.
