What the inside of my head sounds like today

Impatiently waiting for me to finish my first coffee for supervised time in the backyard.

Hung up some art today

“It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment” - Charlie Kirk in 2023 in regards to school shootings.

Today this Yamaha SGV-300 "Flying Samurai" turns 25. Just a wonderful instrument.

Somebody wants to wish you a happy International Cat Day

No soul in discos No rock in the clubs... #FallFriday

"Hot dogs and seat for Mr. Hogg aaaand his grubby spawn..." #FallFriday

A perfect pop song

A happy 54th birthday to my Hayman 1010

Now I'm sad... Thanks for everything Tom

Homer Haynes born in this day 105 years ago. #HomerandJethro

The pre-Brix, two drummer lineup is the best lineup. #FallFriday

It's Paul Gonasalves' 105th birthday. #DukeEllington

I curse the self copulation of your lost record collection. #FallFriday

The inside of my head sounds like this today.

Various unseen forces are at work to stick this song in my head. So far I have resisted, but don't know how much longer I can hold out...

I'm so tired Of your lies And the evil things You're doing behind my back Are there crimes That you have never committed? I doubt it, sometimes I wonder When will you die? You're insane You are bad You wreck everything you touch And you're a sociopath....

I like this song. Didn't know they made a video back in 1980..

We have determined that while the cat is otherwise very bad at math, she, like the ancient Mayans, has and understanding of the concept of zero. But only in as far as it pertains to kibble.

This song was originally a Rod McKuen novelty song from 1959 recorded with voice artist, Bob McFadden. (McKuen would later pen the english lyrics to "Seasons in the Sun") One has to wonder what criteria MES used to determine Fall covers. #FallFriday

Here's something you ought to check out. It's too good.

The "No Kings" protests were all well and good and great fun, but I couldn't help looking around and wondering how many of these people would be willing to chuck a brick if it came to that.

Unfortunately still relevant and more so these days... John Peel Session, 15/9/81 #fallfriday

Beach Boys Easter Egg: In "Catch a Wave" at 1:37 after the organ & guitar solos when the verse comes back around... "Take a lesson from a top notch surfer boy..." (backing vocals) "Catch a wave, Catch a..." "Suck my dick baa"

The wrong people are dying. R.I.P. Sly

I feel like the world could use a little Gene Krupa lately #genekrupa

The Extended Dance Mix you weren't aware you needed to hear today. #theymightbegiants

Josephine Baker born this day in 1906.

There are some Lps that just smack those dopamine receptors. This album is one.

This today

This. Today. This.

Random play pulled up the original "Let Me Go Lover" by Joan Weber, but all I could hear in my head was Homer and Jethro...

It's been sort of an unintentional Lorelei morning.

On this day in 1974, Duke Ellington passed from this world and ascended to a higher plain of existence. Have a listen and remember him. This number goes hard.

Happy 111th to Sun Ra Herein he & his merry band take on Strayhorn's "Take the A Train", eviscerate it and make a mobius strip of the entrails. Space is the place.

Saddest news I read today is that GbV will no longer tour. If you never saw them live, I'm sorry. Have an earworm

17:45 of reasons to reconsider where "Imperial Wax Solvent" sits in the Fall catalog. #FallFriday

This extended "musical striptease" was premiered at the Duke's 1948 Carnegie Hall concert and as was noted in Leonard Feather's original program notes involves a groom discovering his new bride has a previously unknown tattoo on the wedding night. #DukeEllington

The world needs more perfect pop songs. Written by Richard Lloyd of Television fame.

Random play in the car dredged this up from the depths of 1s and 0s on my phone and I share this bounty with the unblinking void of Bluesky...

Take this with you. You may need it.

Before there was the Hold Steady there was Lifter Puller and they were awesome.

This is for me the definitive version. Peel Session March 21, 1983 #FallFriday

Here's your earworm for the day. You're welcome.

This is the sort of thing you need more of in your life.

Some days only the Mint Chicks are the only thing I want to listen to... This is one of those days.
