My Summer 2024 Spotify Playlist
"Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink in the wild air." ā Ralph Waldo Emerson It's summer! School is out for the next two months, I've been busy trying to keep my kiddos busy with fun activities and planning a camping trip.

Hip-Hop Heartbeat
In the heart of a bustling city where skyscrapers kissed the clouds and neon lights flickered through the night, lived a young rapper named Malik. He had grown up amidst the concrete jungle, where every beat of the street echoed in his rhymes and every graffiti-covered wall told a story.

The Crucial Three
Introduction The Crucial Three were a short-lived band that existed for approximately six weeks in early 1977. They are nevertheless notable on account of the individual success of all three founding members: Julian Cope formed The Teardrop Explodes and has enjoyed a long and successful solo career as an author, photographer and singer, Ian McCulloch formed the very successful Echo & the Bunnymen, while guitarist Pete Wylie formed Wah! Heat (and various subsequent incarnations of Wah!) and enjoyed major chart success with "The Story of the Blues". In those early days, McCulloch sang, Cope played bass, and Wylie played guitar. A drummer, Stephen Spence, also joined at some point in their brief life.

Whimsigoth . Content Warning.
Introduction I just saw this interesting post by Samantha Parrish and thought the very words were just positive and wonderful. We usually associate Goth with darkness and fear, but "Whimsigoth" (or should it be "WhimsiGoth"?) brings some fun and lightness to the genre.

Notes On "To Althea From Prison"
Introduction Apologies for the spelling mistake in the subheading Many years ago I bought the album "Nine" by Fairport Convention. I still love the album today and it is home to many great songs. "To Althea, From Prison" I found particularly beautiful taking the words of the poet Richard Lovelace adapted and sung by the sadly missed Dave Swarbrick.

A Whimsigoth Playlist
What is Whimsigoth? It's a goth style altered by themes of space and nature. Witch themes can also be a considered definition. When I see a Whimsigoth outfit, the first thing that comes to my mind is how it has a supernatural vibe. In my definition of Whimsigoth, it's a lighter version of the goth genre, a hippie version of goth.

Music Prompt? Music Thingy!. Top Story - May 2024.
At work a few weeks ago, I was using that Spotify DJ thing, the AI tool that slightly bugs me on principle, but not enough for me to boycott it. (You know the one?) Anyway, I was jamming out to songs I was familiar with, a few new ones, and then all of a sudden, I was stopped in my tracks.
