I'm a huge blues/classic rock fan. Today I'm listening to Samantha Fish and Larkin Poe. Two songs in particular are heavy in my rotation:

 

Turn It Up - Samantha Fish

 

and

 

Beach Blonde Bottle Blues - Larkin Poe

They truly are, and 50 years later (or there about) it still sounds fantastic today. This music takes my mind to Hwy 101 I've just crossed over into Marin county, I'm northbound and I've got the top pulled down, the music is cookin' as I pass by her old haunts....

 

Hearing Janis "takes me there", and the Redwoods come into view....

Moonage Daydream by David Bowie.  It's been 3 years since we lost him.

Link to comment

Strangly enough I was just about to type. " I never really liked David Bowie"  But after some consideration and thinking about how i know the opening bars to Gene Genie, life on Mars, up to Fashion and Scary Monsters.  Still recall when this Skinny little fella came on Top of the pops My dad Looking at him and saying "Is that a Man or a Woman" Therefore i decided to retract my comment and say. Yes such a shame he had so much more to give this world and the pleasure we still get from the back catalogue. The memorys that fill you when you hear one of those old tracks still does it for me.

 

 

My listening pleasure today will mostly be Night Club, The album being, Scary World

 

 

Do we still call them Albums?

Yes they are still albums. Even if it’s digital media. I’ll always remember David for “The man who fell to earth”. Although weird and sometimes psychedelic, it was a study of how one can feel out of place in the world, even with success, and failing to find that fit can result in strange exploration, self destructive behavior, and ultimately realizing that what is missing is very simple. In that case it was the character realizing that going home to a dying world to be with their family was preferable to a meaningless life on earth. I’m still touched by the scenes of his family struggling without him and feeling lost on a desert world, and how powerless he felt so far away. 

 

As far as music goes he was a genius and still had it right to the end. As I grew up and revisited much of it I realized he was also a philosophical genius and I owe much of my introspection to his thoughts in various forms of art.

 

One of the reasons I grew to really like the Arcade Fire album “Reflektor” was due to his guidance as a coproducer. I liked them before but he helped them out refining the song “We exist” which is such an anthem for LGBTQ, it’s something I can truly identify with.

The post above took me back to walking the streets of Manchester in 04', the pubs, the clubs, the stadium, the Salford Quays and all

 

I really like David Bowie's last studio album before he left us "Dark Star", an amazing production.

 

Right now I'm listening to "The Fixx" greatest hits album, gosh this sounds good...

I have never been to Manchester as I am predominantly an East Coast girl, but I do remember video's of the Hacienda night club from  a few years ago. It had ( and maybe still has) cult status here.

My employer has a rather large subsidiary in Manchester, and i wen there quite a few time.  I received a diploma saying that I did see the sun in Manchester!

I lived for 1 1/2 years in the UK (it feels as if that was about 100 years ago)

Thanks for the track Josie. I liked it so much its going on my Spotify Playlist.?

 

You’re welcome! I like the album version better. It’s got these lyrics at the end (I swear David Bowie sang the cameo) 

 

“Maybe if you hang together
You can make the changes in our hearts
And if you hang together, you can change us
Just where should you start?”

 

 This repeats in several songs throughout the album.

 

Ashlee, have fun at the wedding! I wish I could have been there.

The news...  And not Huey Lewis and The News.  LOL  But yesterday I had some off site quiet time and the establishment I was had had on a 70's pop music play list and then a 90's hip hop play list.  It was honestly fun to listen too.  I enjoyed it so much I had a hard time finishing my work.

I recall the experience, when grocery shopping back in like the late 80's and I realized they were playing Jimi Hendrix 3rd Stone from the sun in the store, and I realized then, the music of my youth was now store music, oh no, that only means one thing ?

 

Today I'm listening to Traffic, and the song "The Dealer"....

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.
