Do you have a song that you feel passionate about?

Aug 20, 2012 7:37 AM

I do. This one reminds me of my late husband. He loved to play drums. He did that w/such an unbridled passion. Also, this song is the one we played right before we entered the Keys. This sound. That soggy, wet smell...the Keys. We knew it was only a few minutes before we drove into Key Largo. Home. Alas, a tempory one.

Memories are made of this aren't they? Dean Martin? Really? Yes! Listen...you might like him. Nice smooth voice.

Do you have a favorite song? What does it remind you of? A time or place? Smells? Sweet memories? Sadness?

There's a lot that I feel passionate about, but I guess the one that has to come in first is one that I have lyrics from tattooed on me-- Biffy Clyro's "Machines". There's many reasons I chose it, and it invokes both sweet and sad memories.

The official video (which has one of my favorite versions of the song) doesn't appear to be on youtube, but it is over here:

There is the rather lovely acoustic version, though.

This song is one that my mom and I always sing together: All the leaves are brown...

She's a drummer too, I knew you would link Phil Collins as soon as you mentioned that about your late husband!

@agingdragqueen: Love the Mamas & Papas, too! Great sing-along song(s). Peter, Paul & Mary - another group that I sing way off-key with. ;-)

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
