Feeling kind of like this today. Today is gonna be a great day, even if my metaphorical butt is glued to the metaphorical toilet seat.

[Dekalb_Blues]

Yes, Jeremy old boy, all will be well -- if, that is, once you manage to escape from The Bad-Stuff Bathroom, you prudently stay well clear of...

[*shudder*]  The Dangerous Kitchen!!

Your best bet is to skip the indoors altogether and, first thing in the morning, head out to the back yard by the lake:

 

Also, remember that no matter how bad your day looks, someone somewhere is having a much worse one:

Another Universe

Let's take the final bow
Let's make the silent sign
Nobody needs to know where we're off to
We're invisible alive
We're the whispers in the scream
We're not living in the west
And we're not coming from the east
Sharp is the knife
Alive is the night
I'm gonna slit the throat of the holy goat
Ceremony to the UFO
SMS them where we wanna go
From the galaxy of blues to a universe we choose
No more crying and just maybe somebody to hold...
Let's play the metal music slow
Leave the car on the highway and go
Nobody needs to know another universe
Make a distance between us and them
Lonely, lonely never us again
A galaxy to explore
Don't wanna return to a world at war
From the galaxy of blues to a universe we choose
No more crying and just maybe somebody to hold...

[AnthroHeart]

Another Universe

Let's take the final bow
Let's make the silent sign
Nobody needs to know where we're off to
We're invisible alive
We're the whispers in the scream
We're not living in the west
And we're not coming from the east
Sharp is the knife
Alive is the night
I'm gonna slit the throat of the holy goat
Ceremony to the UFO
SMS them where we wanna go
From the galaxy of blues to a universe we choose
No more crying and just maybe somebody to hold...
Let's play the metal music slow
Leave the car on the highway and go
Nobody needs to know another universe
Make a distance between us and them
Lonely, lonely never us again
A galaxy to explore
Don't wanna return to a world at war
From the galaxy of blues to a universe we choose
No more crying and just maybe somebody to hold...

Thank you YinYang. This was very synchronous for me as I was recently interested in multiple universes.

This song has the lyric "Music is my galaxy", and is one that I like too:

You're welcome, Gem!

i think this instrumentally describes what it is to be an intelligent, aware kid who sees the world as perfect and positive and designed lovingly for you... and then at the end you doubt yourself and everything you've imagined the world to be.

(of course there is no end in the real life, but i think aphex twin just wanted to capture that sudden depression at having to live in an adult's world now, no going back to kid-world.)

This piece is magical ! Studies have been made about its effects on the brain functionning and its healing
effects on epilepsy.

he was surely a wanderer! imagine being a wanderer back when the vibrational level was much lower. the feeling of alienation must have been even more severe than it is now.

Well, here I am back in beautiful Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, U.S. of A., Inc., for the week of the intergalactic Muzikfest, featuring all kinds of groovy live music performances from solo to large ensemble, in all genres from Zydeco to Classical, with plenty of top-flight jazz in between. I was born and raised in this place (which like Paris has les Rives Gauche et Droite) and went to the first such 'fest 33 years ago --  that was when the whole affair was so laid-back and off-the-cuff that some musical acts would even wander around like medieval troubadours, looking for audiences! -- now the thing is corporatized and lawyered and tightly-scheduled and strictly-venued eight ways to Sunday, but you can still have fun and catch some great tunes whilst meandering about publicly in various states of merry intoxication (as long as you keep most of your clothes on and don't scare the horses).

Sampling of some outstanding artists I've seen in the past three days (usually sitting or standing close enough to tickle them, if the need arose):




[Incidentally, this was filmed in a certain old bar in Easton, Pennsylvania, which I sometimes graced with my presence, as it was just a few blocks up the hill from the riverfront palazzo where I lived a few years back.]


[A wonderful dance troupe that performed elegantly debauched little comic dramas to select music. In this vid they are uncharacteristically actually wearing some costumery.)


[This guy is a powerhouse. There was many a baby's thing shakin' like that, for two hours straight, wow.]


[I was an unpaid roadie for this guy's band back in 1982, when my barely-legal trust-fund-baby girlfriend was the barely-paid female vocalist in his band -- oh, the stark frontier-town venues we played in the coal-mining region in hell-and-gone northeast Pennsylvania. Sort of like that honky-tonk with the chicken-wire-protected stage in the movie The Blues Brothers. Brosky recognized me standing by the stage last night and launched into nostalgic recountings of those ancient days, and then into this period song (the subtext of which deals with the local "Pennsylvania Dutch" culture and its old-fashioned dialect's accent). Allentown (immortalized in Billy Joel's 1982 hit "Allentown") is the next teeming metropolis west of Bethlehem (which is the city really referred to in "Allentown", as it was home to the once-mighty-but-by-then-failing Bethlehem Steel Corp., whose steel went into all the skyscrapers in NYC, the Golden Gate Bridge, the armor-plating and giant cannon of battleships in World Wars I and II, etc., etc. My father headed its lab for assaying global ore supplies and providing quality-assurance for the finished product. (For your information, BethSteel was at the cutting edge of industrial metallurgical applications of X-ray-spectroscopic technology in service of analytical mineral crystallography, in case you're ever asked this on a quiz show or by a wizard guarding a bridge over a chasm.)]

Circa 1970

Rather than "I wanna hold your hand", I wanna swallow you whole
An' I wanna lick you everywhere it's pink in every way you think
Rather than "I wanna hold your hand", I wanna swallow you whole
An' I wanna lick you everywhere it's pink in every way you think
 
Whole kit an' kaboodle an' the kitchen sink
Whole kit an' kaboodle an' the kitchen sink

Heaven's sexy as hell, life is integrated
Goes together so well, an' so on
Well, I'm-a go on an' do my washin'

Well, now you may think I'm crazy, but I want you to lick my decals off, baby
An' I don't want you to be lazy, 'cause it's drivin' me crazy

An' this song ain't no sing-song, it's all about the birds an' the bees
An' where it went all went wrong, an' where it all belong

An' the earth all goes down on their knees, lookin' for a little ease
She stuck out her toungue an' the fun begun
She stuck out her toungue an' the fun begun
She stuck it out at me, an' I just thumbed my nose
An' went on washing my clothes





Amsterdam, circa June 2004

Tie yourself to me, no one else,
No, you're not rid of me, no, you're not rid of me

Night and day I breathe, hey, hey, you're not rid of me
No, you're not rid of me, no, you're not rid of me, no you're not rid of me

I beg you, my darling, don't leave me, 'cause I'm hurting

Lick my legs and I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire

I'll tie your legs, and keep you against my chest
Oh, you're not rid of me, no, you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries, I'm gonna twist your head off, see

'Til you say don't you wish you never, never met her?
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her?
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her?
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her?

I beg you, my darling, don't leave me, 'cause I'm hurting
Been lonely, above everything, above everyday, I'm hurting

Lick my legs and I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Lick my legs and I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire

You're not rid of me, no, you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries, I'm gonna twist your head off, see

'Til you say don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you--

Lick my legs, I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Lick my legs, I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire

Lick my legs, I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Lick my legs, I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire

Joni Mitchell and Graham Nash, Laurel Canyon, L.A., circa 1969

Circa 1972

I scare myself, just thinking about you
I scare myself, when I'm without you
I scare myself, the moment that you're gone
I scare myself, when I let my thoughts run

And when they're runnin' (runnin', runnin', runnin'), I keep thinking of you, you
When they're runnin' (runnin', runnin', runnin'), what can I do?

I scare myself, and I don't mean lightly
I scare myself, it can get frightenin'
I scare myself, to think what I could do
I scare myself, it's some kinda voodoo

And with that voodoo (runnin', runnin', runnin'), I keep thinkin' of you, you
With that voodoo (runnin', runnin', runnin'), what can I do?
(It's me that's runnin', it's me that's runnin', it's me that's runnin', it's me that's runnin')

But it's oh so, so, so different when we're together
And I'm oh so, so much calmer, I feel better (it's me that's better, it's me that's better)
For the stars have crossed our paths forever (it's me that's better, it's me that's better)
And the sooner that you realize it, the better (it's me that's better, it's me that's better)

Then I'll be with you, and I won't scare myself
And I'll know what to do, and I won't scare myself
And I'll think of you, and I won't scare myself
And my thoughts'll run, and I won't scare myself (runnin', runnin', runnin')

[Violin cadenza]

Then I'll be with you, and I won't scare myself (myself)
And I'll know what to do, and I won't scare myself (myself)
And I'll think of you, and I won't scare myself (myself)
And my thoughts will run, and I won't scare myself...

I place this in this internet temple of Ra as a prayer that the next weekend when I see these 2 bands, they play these songs :





If any of them are of thy people, whisper into their ears advices of glory.

I'm taking a stroll down Memory Lane with the Yardbirds.
