Musical Interlude #12

Yeah, silence is golden. Life is quiet.

So LCpl Tyler was watching this the other day. I asked him did he know who that was singing background..he was RIGHT!!! I'm so proud! So that put me on a Rick James kick. Btw, Eddie was a cutie before he lost his mind and his humor.










and finally..sigh

Musical Interlude #10 (FUNK not for the faint of heart)

I'm 'bout to hip ya'll to some SERIOUS FUCKING NASTY STANK FUNKY ROCK SHIT right now. Nadir is DA MAN and just..just damn. I've been followin' mah boy for a couple years and just..damn





Now I ain't diggin' the video for "Slave" all that much, but I didn't want to put up just a mp3. And "Slave" is the fuckin JAM! But here's the deal with this brotha: very politically active, married to his baby mama (and they have a BROOD) and has been promoting and selling his stuff WITHOUT benefit of a major record label. His album "Distorted Soul" has a HEAVY rotation on my iPod.

The next song "Sanctified" just gets me wet and horny. The funk is THAT THICK.

blue - or musical interlude #9

Because before there was youtube there was just - music.



blue - joni mitchell



I first listened to this album in the year it came out in 1971 when I was 10. I used my hard earned babysitting money to buy it. One of those "first albums you buy for yourself because it touches you" kind of albums.




a case of you - joni mitchell



The music on this album has stayed with me for 37 years. That's pretty fucking powerful. It's not just the music of my youth making me feel all sentimental, it was profound then and it's profound now. It's one of those albums that taught me the POWER of lyrics.




all i want - joni mitchell



Like a lot of stuff, I lost track of the album over the years and replaced it with the cd. I was online chatting with some dood about 10 yrs ago and mentioned this album, how it made me feel, how powerful the lyrics were and how I had lost my cd of it when I was homeless. He asked for my address and sent me a new cd. I still have it.




river - joni mitchell



I've been hidden away in my room all weekend cuz my heart hurts bad. This has kept me company again like it has over the years. It speaks my soul. To me, it's the most beautiful album in the world.

Musical Interlude #8

There is very little rap or hip hop that I like. Lauren Hill is one of the exceptions. I love this song, I love the video, she's a beautiful woman, I'm jealous of her hair. (I've always had a secret desire to have dreds.)

Someone that has been, well, as close to everything to me in their own right for the past 14 yrs is coming in town on Wednesday and I don't know if I can face them anymore. The relationship has changed so much and I'm so hurt over it I don't even know how to think about it. I'm avoiding it in my head cuz I'm lost with them, lost without them. I can't talk to the Butterfly about it because it seems to be one of the few things that upsets him. He knows how bad I hurt over this. He can't help me either.

Musical Interlude #7 - Between a rock and a hard place

Miles is keeping me sane.

While Melissa is tearing out my heart.







In the meantime, I'm drinking myself blind with Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin. Go me.

Musical Interlude #6 (for the manic depressive in all of us)

My life is manic depression personified. Love Jimi. Love this song.





In keeping with the "ups n' downs", enjoy mah boyz. Bonus Beavis and Butthead.

Musical Interlude #2

Cuz, you know, they're like, MAH BOYZ..you get 2 separate posts and 2 videos today!

But seriously, listen to the fucking marriage of vocal and instrumental HARMONY in this song...





Anthony Kiedis is the sexiest white boy on the planet..only a slight edge over Mr. Depp. (Yeah, I likem kinda dirty)


and because I'm drunk..the title and theme of this blog (note the abysmal punctuation I've fallen into)

On rum, getting cockblocked and the internet

Let me preface this by saying I'm reasonably inebrieated.

My evening plans were cockblocked (shakes fist at Assmitten as it's all HER FAULT dammit!) and I'm turning to alcohol to compensate for the lack of (actually) damn fine conversation. The sex would have been welcome but not required.

Anywho.

Yammering back and forth with the aforementioned Assmitten reminded me of why I lurv the interwebs so much. You get to meet some pretty fucking amazing people. And knowing these people can make some HUGE changes in your life.

Let me also mention that I met the dead husband on the internet almost 14 yrs ago and we eventually got together IRL and lived together and got married. So I don't really subscribe to the "every other person on the internet is an axe murderer" school of thought.

Over these past 14 years I HAVE met some pretty awesome folks who also moved into the IRL state. Back in the day I used to go to "chat parties" held in various cities across the country and meet people I talked to online. I even had one of those individuals (who I thought I was in love with) leave his wife and move in with me - for all of 2 days. Fortunately he wasn't an axe murderer, just an idiot. (Yes, I am a bad ass mama-jama despite what you read here.)

Mr. Davis aka umf is another of those people. Also one who has been a friend for 14 years and for all intents and purposes is my "spiritual partner". We've only managed to get together IRL a few times over those years, but we keep in touch almost daily and our kids even know each other.

Speaking of which, let me direct you to the website (I have been TERRIBLY remiss) Soul Patrol We grew that out of a combination of chat rooms and bbs on Prodigy back in the day. Since that time I've met a shitload of artists and attended the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies in NYC. (Buried deep in there is a rather um, risque listening party chat about Miles Davis' "Dark Magus" with yours truly having what was described by Michael Henderson as "damn fine sex online". Ok, Miles does that to me, what can I say? LOL)

Frankly, the thing that keeps me coming to the internet is PEOPLE. I love to meet new people from the safety of my computer. Yeah, I know folks can lie and pretend with the monitor in front of them, but truly I've only run into a few of those losers. The majority of people I've met and kept in touch with through the internet have enriched my life. Given me the opportunity to look at my own experiences through the eyes of others.

And THAT my friends, is MOST EXCELLENT.

now playing on my iPod "Down in It" NIN
