Groove, consolidate
Hi,
1) When you listen to a song that makes you move and dance around (gets you pumped up), do you use 'get into the groove' or always just 'get into a rhythm'?
"Songs like this always get me into the groove." (I heard a native speaker use it in a similar way. He said that some songs just get him into a little groove.)
2) When you study, you need to read through your notes many times before the information becomes ingrained in your mind. However, what should I use if I wanted to say that I need to do something in order for the information to stay in my head (active voice)? For instance: "I reviewed the notes one more time to consolidate what I've learnt so far." I'm not sure though if 'consolidate' is appropriate.
Thank you!

" (I heard a native speaker use it in a similar way. ) I would say "a" groove is usual there. I would also say that it's slang—rather dated, perhaps even amusingly retro, perhaps affectedly Afro-American.

01) You might say something like: "Songs like that get me grooving."
2) You might say, for example: "I drum it into my head by repetition." or "I've re-read it so many times, just one more repetition will (do to) drum it into my head permanently."
