Girl Group Influence Pairing Challenge on Spotify – The Clues! 🔍

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4YPxAMzsFP3RdunupRaUDP?si=fe7f1cb10eeb4d41

Guess which modern track matches a Girl Group song.  10 Songs, 10 Matches.  Plus One Bonus Pairing. 

Methodology: the influence pairings were Copilot approved.  Except for one of them, which is more based on tonality than lyrics. The influence is direct in one or two of the pairings.  Here are the clues: 

1. Sweet romance, then and now

Two songs built around the same simple moment — the spark of a kiss — one from the ‘60s, one from the ‘90s.

2. A classic Motown plea meets a modern caffeine‑charged crush

Both tracks radiate sugary pop energy, even if one is more “baby love” and the other is more “espresso buzz.”

3. Same title, different decade

A summer heartbreak anthem gets reinvented by a modern superstar who shares its name.

4. Sisterhood energy across generations

One is a declaration of independence from an iconic trio; the other is a guitar‑driven empowerment track from three real‑life sisters.

5. Two songs asking the same question

A girl‑group classic wonders if love will last; a cinematic modern ballad wonders the same thing in a darker, dreamier way.

7. Two Jimmys, zero coincidence

Both songs call out to a boy with the same name, decades apart, with equal parts longing and attitude.

8. A pop masterpiece and its musical reply

One of the most famous girl‑group songs ever meets the track that was literally written as its answer.

9. Devotion in two eras

A Motown classic about unwavering loyalty pairs with a modern indie‑pop meditation on love and possession.

10. A swaggering question, twice

Two songs built around the same challenge — “How do you like me/that?” — one gritty, one K‑pop glossy.

11. A final echo from a fictional future…

Paired with a dance hit from a Barbadian singer, businesswoman, and actress.

One Day Barista Training at the New Jersey Coffee School

Image
Such a special experience and a reminder that most of the time, it’s later than you think.  New Jersey Coffee School at the Monroe Center is closing in Hoboken after a 3-year run. They are now offering on-site training to their hospitality clientele, still a successful business, but no longer serving as a stand-alone training space. I enrolled in Day One of their 3-Day Barista training just before the closing was announced. I have probably done “the 10,000 hours” in food but my experience in beverages is limited.   Specifically, I am looking to purchase an at home espresso maker and taking the class provided me with an overview of the equipment. Coffee’s definitely got its fix on us.   I gained a better understanding of the history of coffee, farming, and the coffee production process, from bean to first sip. Matcha and Chai have reached a tipping point in the States with the class also exploring these relatively newer entries to the U.S. beverage scene.   We mad...

Embracing the Gray: How One Woman Found the Perfect Balance with Gray Blending - Now on Blogger

Image
The following is a post about gray blending developed though ChatGPT. There’s a reason I used ChatGPT for this post. Aesthetically, getting older has been a challenge. Some people look great with gray hair.   I would have kept the gray but, being a brunette, it was a gray that drained my coloring. A dull, difficult-to-work-with, unruly gray. When it was clear that I was no longer able to cover my grays with single-process coloring, at around 90% gray, I finally discovered gray blending though a hair stylist. It didn’t present itself to me as a solution naturally, it took me a while to find it. It took me a while to give up single-process coloring, a solution that worked as part of my adult life for a long time. It took me a while to grow out most of the remaining color. Getting the hair stripped of all color was a marathon of sitting in a salon chair. Not really my bag. Learning through ChatGPT, it seems that the gray blending option developed as a hair coloring technique over ...

My Trader Joe’s Half Day Juice Cleanse

Image
Hacked more expensive juice offerings and came up with this two-meal juice cleanse plan. I am not a nutritionist nor a qualified medical professional though skipping two meals probably wouldn’t be a big concern. (I realize that some people are advised to eat frequently.)   There will be no mention of the word *detox* in this blog post. I devised this half day cleanse to give my digestive tract a break, to take a break from post-pandemic cooking, which is tough, and to get more mindful about food consumption. With a total of 520 calories, this plan may possibly meet the caloric requirements for two meals. For a half day, that’s two meals, breakfast and lunch, one juice every two hours. 1 Cold Pressed Juice Green, 90 calories 1 Cold Pressed Juice Red, 110 calories 1 Banana & Almond Butter Protein Smoothie, 320 calories – for the home stretch Add a Suja Cold-Pressed Lemon Ginger Cayenne depending on your ambition. Followed up with a lighter than usual dinner.  A...
