@lxlichael I'm so sorry for your loss Michael.   I don’t know how you feel, but I am here to help in any way I can.  You're a good man. 

I've been enjoying this song recently.  The vocals are very beautiful.  It reminds me of an heavenly abode.  May it bring you comfort.

I was exploring "detroit techno" last week still, and Plastikman came up. This reminds me of hearing this song by them a couple years back. Though I didn't realize that they were part of the Detroit scene then. Note to self: replacing a "c" with a "k" in a word does not automatically make some music group/ person German.

Very sexy in a being pulled down into a very dark basement in a late 90s-era cyberpunk club kind of way.

It's a coin toss... will you makeout with someone, or will you get smothered? No one knows.

Recently rediscovered

Very cheesy but it's like meeting an old friend from years ago. I like the syncopation.

Some classical. Good old Grieg:

Lately, I've been giving a few groups I've been aware of a more serious listen, like Daughter. (Who I was aware of vaguely before I heard that they were going to score Life is Strange: Before the Storm.) It's definitely some moody introvert music. Paying attention to the lyrics more now, they're definitely way darker than I remembered.

I've also felt like music has been supporting me more lately, and has felt less like a sort of pretty decoration to fill up space a time...

 I think this is somewhat faster than the album version:

 Acoustic versions of Prefab Spout:

 This one has been living in my head rent-free the past week:   (and a fall-winter mood, if I've ever heard one.)

And this one, the original which was my introduction to them:

Very underrated group from the 80s...

I never thought I'd be a killer
Cause there's so much to lose
But if I can't drink the water
What else can I do

And although the axe is heavy
It just sits in my hands
While you're changing like the current
Not a shore on land

Every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my head around

Make up your mind
Let me live or let me love you
While you've been saving your neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up your mind
Before I make it up for you

I never thought that I'd be facing
A sea that's bluer than the tide [?]
Now my knees are shaking
And I can't look in your eyes

But if you're gonna make me do it
How'd you want it done
Is it best to sip it slowly
Or drink it down in one

Every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my head around

Make up your mind
Let me live or let me love you
While you've been saving your neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up your mind
Before I make it up for you

The executioner's within me
And he comes blindfold ready
Sword in hand
And arms so steady
Every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my head around
But every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my head around

Make up your mind
Let me live or let me love you
While you've been saving your neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up your mind
Before I make it up for you
Make up your mind
Let me live or let me love you
While you've been saving your neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall
Oh, make up your mind
Before I make it up for you

(my tears stream down my face.  I look up and the eyes of wizard stares back at me through the smoke.  The eyes of wellbeing, that streams life energy.  So rarely do I meet him these days.  'Let me live or let me love you'. 'don't drown in a sea of negativity when you can float in an ocean of life')

Happy new year, everyone! From Australia.  Blessings and well wishes.  My intention for this year is to step into my highest empowerment and integrity.  That I might utilize my strengths and set my priorities properly. To be a guardian of the earth, its habitat, and its people, selfless in energy and open. 

Just like the seed
I don't know where to go
Through dirt and shadow, I grow
I'm reaching light through the struggle
Just like the seed
I'm chasing the wonder
I unravel myself
All in slow motion

You cannot eat money, oh no
You cannot eat money, oh no
When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
You cannot eat money, oh no
You cannot eat money, oh no
You cannot eat money, oh no
When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
You cannot eat money, oh no
Oh no

Suffocate me
So my tears can be rain
I will water the ground where I stand
So the flowers can grow back again
'Cause just like the seed
Everything wants to live
We are burning our fingers
But we learn and forgive

You cannot eat money, oh no
You cannot eat money, oh no
When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
You cannot eat money, oh no
You cannot eat money, oh no
You cannot eat money, oh no
When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
You cannot eat money, oh no
Oh no

Feed me sunlight, feed me air
In a place where nothing matters
Feed me truth and feed me prayer (dancing around a shooting star)
And every cell remembers
Feed me sunlight, feed me air (that have taken us this far)
I see images of killer whales
Feed me truth and feed me prayers (sleeping in a desert trail)
Dreaming of a parallel world where nothing ever hurts
Dreaming of a parallel world where nothing ever hurts

[Zigzag Idiot]

This is an annoying song.. It’s funny  if you sing along with slightly changed lyrics;

“I want to rock and roll all night and potty everyday.

I like the punch of Tony Iommi’s Lead guitar in this song. 

[Proserpina]

Happiness, more or less
It's just a change in me, something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Happiness, coming and going
I watch you look at me, and watch my fever grow
And I know just where I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

But I'm a lucky man
With fire in my hands

Happiness, something in my own place
I'm stood here naked, I smile and I feel no disgrace
With who I am
Happiness, coming and going
I watch you look at me, watch my fever grow
And I know just who I am

And how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

Happiness more or less
It's just a change in me, something in my liberty
Happiness, coming and going
I watch you look at me, watch my fever grow
And I know

My favourite song as an adolescent.  I would listen to this song on repeat and cry for the world every night.  Falling asleep in my own tears for the world is like my favourite past time as a child.  How emo of me.

Statements aimed at everyone-

We're all liars and wishful thinkers caught somewhere in the layers of being well-meaning. The more angry you are at this statement, the more self-deceptive and asleep you are.
