friday random elevenish: “all over the place” edition
So, it’s finally Friday. Been a long week for a number of reasons, though I don’t really feel like talking specifics; it’s either dull, or not my place to say. Ups and downs; it’s what we got.
I do come into today feeling a little bit more optimistic than is typical of me lately. Headlines the last couple of days have been inspiring, historic, karmic, and tinged with schadenfreude. The world’s still going to shit, of course, though it might not always be that way. Best we can hope for.
The weekend ahead should be pretty typical, apart from my participation in PossumCon II, the virtual version of my friend Larry’s usual musical house party birthday bash, in the evenings, playing a few songs over the interwebs with friends. I think it’ll be cool.
Otherwise…well, you all know what it’s going to look like by now…
So, tunes. Spotify’s been generating some interesting mixes for me lately; lots of new guitar tones to emulate, and out-of-the-mainstream song titles and band names like at #s 1 and 10. It’s cool, and oddly appropriate, because that’s the world we live in:
- “Ghost With A Boner” – Diarrhea Planet
- “Misbehavin’ 1989” – Aimee-Leigh & Baby Billy
- “All I Really Want” – Alanis Morrissette
- “Web in Front” – Archers of Loaf
- “Deathwire” – Rough Francis
- “The Void” – Martha
- “Feral Cats” – Protomartyr
- “Waves” – Hum
- “Purity of Heart” – Krill
- “Normal People” – Fucked Up
- “Dancing” – Katie Dey
- “Some Mutts (Can’t Be Muzzled) – Amyl and the Sniffers
- “Worthless Chorus” – Bars of Gold
- “Love Is The Law” – The Suburbs
- “Ride a White Swan” – T. Rex
