One of my roles at Automattic is to maintain Plinky, now that we’ve acquired the service from Thing Labs. I’m a techy on this project, so I still find myself being exited about the prompts our editors come up with. Here’s me trying to answer one of them: “Name three songs you never get sick of“.
Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This song struck a particular chord in me when I listened to it the first time. I was seventeen years old and had just moved from Martinique (Caribbean) to Montreal (Canada), only starting to truly learn spoken day-to-day English. This is the first English song I truly understood from start to finish and could relate to at the same time.
Midnight In A Perfect World by DJ Shadow
The combination of the powerful drum beats, deep background vocals and soothing female voice never fails to give me goose bumps. Every time.
Despite living a rather typical modern North-American existence, full of affluence and superficiality, this song still embodies some of the core values I cherish in life: the importance of love and family above all.

Midnight in a Perfect World is the song that introduced me to DJ Shadow. It is a fantastic example of what can be accomplished by a talented DJ…love it! I could say with some certainty that I will never get tired of it.
