Exactly my experience of Madonna’s Madame X. 👇 #music #Madonna en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_...

Another CD with a pronunciation guide! Turns out this one is actually the name of the album, properly written as a parenthetical remark complete with diacritical marks: (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) #music #LynyrdSkynyrd #rock 🎵

Was just reading a debate about this article. One side was insisting such a bill is way overdue because farming octopi is cruel, and the other was saying most people eat farmed animals all the time, even intelligent ones. #food #octopus 🐙 1/5 washingtonstatestandard.com/briefs/washi...

Animals at Rio de Janeiro's BioParque zoo received popsicles and frozen treats Tuesday as the city faced another day of extreme heat during Brazil's summer.

In the evenings, I tend toward metal. This isn’t for those too faint of heart for non-extreme metal. No fear! #BVB #music #HeavyMetal 🎵

A rare occurrence amongst musicians, but not unique. With 'Psalm 130', Lili Boulanger wrote a requiem for herself (she died at the age of only 24). We can only bow in awe and amazement for the way Boulanger managed to put her dark fate into music. youtu.be/gYj3nP6l6DA

On soundtracks I enjoy despite having never seen the movies... It's a quick read, about 5 mins, but come on, you're just gonna scroll through, so what's to lose? Scroll and respond! #music #movies #tango #rock #U2 #jazz #MilesDavis 🎵🍿 👇 👇 👇 thephilosophe.medium.com/for-the-love...

Elsa grew up fast: eats and drinks on his (?) own now, handles his various perches like a pro, flies around in a special tent-net, and is beginning to make a variety of sounds. #birds #budgie #parakeet #pets

"What? Do we become assholes or something?" --Marty McFly, Back to the Future I love how one of the worst things about the future that he can imagine is growing up to be an asshole, but I feel like we live in a world where most people seem intent on being assholes. Don't be an asshole. #movies 🎥

Here’s another one. Sinéad O’Connor’s I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got is, in Japanese, Blue Whispers. The kanji for blue used here is a bit literary and can suggest deep blue, maybe a little green, and has various connotations such as quiet… 🤔 #music 🎵

Another instance of an album getting a variant name in another language. In Japanese, Warrant’s Cherry Pie becomes something like No Good Cherry Pie or Forbidden Cherry Pie. 😂 🚫 🍒 🥧 #music 🎵

“My advice to read the Quran is usually met with a mix of skepticism and surprise, as Christians are not used to looking outside of their tradition for meaningful reflections on their most sacred figures.” – @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social

John Lennon ~ Gimme Some Truth (from Imagine, 1971) #NowPlaying #JohnLennon #MusicSky "I've had enough of reading things By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians All I want is the truth" www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdJY...

Always interesting when albums have different names in other languages. In Japan, the John Lennon album Mind Games is The Declaration of Nutopia. #music #Beatles #JohnLennon ☮️

Better late than never. Purchased for pocket change. And this sucker’s still in the outer packaging. Which doesn’t mean much, b/c it’s just a CD. But still. I couldn’t even make myself open it today. Listened to the Stones instead, and I’m not even a huge fan. Anyway… #GwenStefani! #music 🎵

I hadn't published anything in This Side of the Flood in a while, so here we go. This is about Bon Jovi and faith. Any Bon Jovi fans out there? #music #rock #religion #Christianity #Judaism #hallelujah #BonJovi 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵 medium.com/this-side-of...

Just a battery vending machine I pass sometimes.

I actually donated to this way back. For a while, it looked like it might never come to fruition, and then a few weeks ago I got an e-mail saying it was up. Coolest thing ever! 👍 #Detroit #art #Robocop #movies #crime #justice #scifi www.metrotimes.com/arts/detroit...

Elsa has made it onto her low perch, and now the ring. She still falls off sometimes, but progress is progress! #birds #parakeet #budgie

Giving the Bible Daily Reading a try this year. One-page daily devotionals shouldn’t be too hard to keep up with. #Bible #books 📚

A very little bubbly. 🍾 Happy New Year, folks of Bluesky #HappyNewYear

New Year’s Eve preferred drink: plum wine. Only two hours to go in this part of the world. #NewYearsEve #梅酒

To the end, and to a new beginning. (clip: the end of Götterdämmerung, the end of the Ring cycle / Wagner Museum, Bayreuth)

I left writing about #HardRock and #HeavyMetal to The Plague Nurse. She has a particular skill set for the heavy stuff. Her best discoveries of the year. 👇 #music #melodeath #deathcore #prog #rock #Jpop #thrash #death ☠️ and #MedicalScience 👩‍⚕️ medium.com/@thephilosop...

"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places but still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater." - Gandalf, J.R.R. Tolkien #photography #nature #love #jrrtolkien #books #hopecore #hope

Some light and fun (and eventually a bit dark, I assume) reading for the week ahead. #StarWars #books

We now have a budgie. Meet Elsa, as in “Let it go, let it go” Elsa, because of her icy colors. #birds #budgie #parrot #Frozen

I was feeling dirrrty, so I revisited 80s and 90s hard rock and metal of the pop-glam-sleaze-hair variety. Have any favorites from this list? Any not on the list? #HardRock #rock #HeavyMetal #music #80s #90s 🫦🎶🫦🎶🫦🎶🫦🎶🫦🎶🫦🎶🍒🥧 medium.com/@thephilosop...

My parents have been giving me #StarWars ornaments for almost 30 years now. We have two trees, one just for Star Wars ornaments. This year’s latest additions.

A great band I didn’t discover until this year. #NowListening #music #rock

I’ve mostly gotten my butt killeded this month ☠️, but it’s Christmas Eve 🎄, so I might as well listen to some holiday #music. 🎵 #Christmas

Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, the Most Troubling Christmas Film Ever Made

Revisited one of my favorite war films. The front half is still something more than you would think possible from mere mortal art: a perfect balance of Malick meditative, stunning visuals, and action. #movies #film #cinema 🍿🎥🍿🎥🍿🎥 youtu.be/WHHAcqZMlqA?...

Haven’t listened to this one in a while, but why not? #metal?
