Friday Music on a Saturday - Yves Tumor

The recovery is still going slow.  I was exhausted yesterday.  Sorry, it is late. 

Friday Music - Alessia Cara

Merry Christmas...

And remember I love you.

Friday Music - Louis Armstrong

A drunk plowed into my car last Thursday and broke my back.  Sorry I missed a week.

As sad and angry as I am, this makes me smile...Thanks Louis!

Friday Music - Rosa Linn

Another surgery today but I should be healed in two weeks. 

That doesn't mean I am happy...

Where are you?

Friday Music - Sara Bareilles

Thanksgiving achieved.

Soup achieved.

Leftovers in the freezer.

Cooking is my love song. 

Friday Music - Automatic

I love nothing more than having people who are undeniably worse than me at something trying to give me pointers. 

Sure thing junior...

Friday Music - Gorillaz, ft. Tame Impala & Bootie Brown

I need to ask, do they love me for my love, or for the soup and pies that I make?

I do make outstanding soup and pies...

Friday Music -Jess Glynne

A weird week with Halloween on a Monday.  Looking forward to the extra hour of sleep, 

If it's allowed... 

Halloween, October 31st!

Friday Music Part #2 - Ray Parker Jr.

How have I not posted this song for Halloween? A very solid song. 

Friday Music Part #1 - Howlin' Wolf

I spent a week on the southeast on a beach with lovely people, food, and weather.  And of course the Blues...

Friday Music - Latto

Spending time where it's warm, friendly, delicious and relaxing.

I might be back...

Friday Music - Powerman 5000

I turn older this week.  

Wish certain people would realize that...

Friday Music - War On Drugs

I was originally going to post this band in 2016, but my better sense told me to wait.

Here you go. 

Friday Music - BLACKPINK

I was in Colorado last weekend.

I climbed a mountain to watch the sunrise and an old guy was sitting on the shore of a mountain lake, listening to this song. 

Welcome to the world. 

Friday Music - Yung Gravy

I am out climbing mountains, looking for cougars!

Only a matter of time before I got to Yung Gravy. Damn you pop culture!

Friday Music - Jessi

It's been abundantly dry here.  An early dead season is coming. 

Maybe I'll just leave the leaves where they fall this year...

This song kicks.

Friday Music - MorMor

Life is sure looking for its pound of flesh lately. 

Friday Music - Huey Lewis & The News

Spent two days this week sampling the delicious fares at the Fair.  Sweating after eating 5000 calories is fun!

When this song came out, it upset uptight white people.  Now it's playing on the kiddie rides. 

Friday Music - The Temper Trap

On my last day of vacation, driving a dying car from the Grand Canyon to Vegas, scrambling through the airport, and flying back home. 

For some reason, this song resonated.

Friday Music - MUNA

Back after a fantastic vacation. But this week has been WAY too busy. 

I'm off to flirt! 

Friday Music - Foals

I have to respect a band who filmed a music video in Ukraine in January.  

Although it brings back wonderfully cruel memories...

Friday Music - Rush

Begin the day with a friendly voice,

A companion, unobtrusive...

Friday Music - Phoebe Bridgers

I guess she was honest about never talking to me again...

The hottest days of summer are ahead.

Friday Music - Phoenix

A young infatuate and I comparing notes on movies...

How do you feel old and young at the same time?  I'll manage. 

Friday Music - Barrie

One of those weeks I was running all week.  

This is a nice relaxing song...

Friday Music - Boy Meets Girl

Back at it after vacation.  

I wanted something poppy! This does the trick. 

Friday Music - Charly Bliss

Back from a very nice vacation.

24 hours later, I need another one...

Friday Music - Kate Bush

Exhausting myself for a week off...

Running Up That Hill is great, but The Dreaming is one of the greatest albums ever made.  There's hot, and then there's 1980s Kate Bush hot.

Friday Music - Rex Orange County

Exhausting week needing something smooth.

Saw this guy in concert last night.  Not bad. 

Friday Music - Foster The People

I'm going to go get sweaty in the city. 

Can't believe I never shared this video before. It's great! 

Friday Music - Cannons

The last two months have been long and hard. 

Now I have four concerts in a week and a half.  Thank God...

Friday Music - Caroline Polachek

I am so happy to have a long weekend.  Just exhausted.  

Remember me on Memorial Day... 

Friday Music Part 2 - Goth Babe ft. Louis The Child

Okay, because you demanded a new song this Friday, feast you monsters! 

Friday Music - All Time Low ft. blackbear

Yes, I featured this in 2020, but it's a good song! 

Certain people would not approve...

Friday Music - Orville Peck

Storms came through.  Power went out.  So did my body and mind.  I think I could sleep for a week.

How did 25 years go so quick? 

Friday Music - Eminem

Nine years ago a sunny day beckoned, 

I was asked to pick a path,

But the clouds moved in...or rather a tornado.

Friday Music - Jaymes Young

My muse returned to dance around my head this week.  I wonder if she's steadied her ship.

Friday Music - Lucius

I swear this week has been forever.

I did run 12 miles.  Energy to burn, and burn, and burn...

Friday Music - Good Morning

It amazes me how many think they can safely admit to their misdeeds online. Seriously, how stupid are you. 

Friday Music - St. Vincent

Okay, I've had enough...bring on Spring! 

Love this woman.

Friday Music - Tame Impala

A busy week of my own doing. 

Not going to take it back...

O...kay...

Some invitations are very hard to turn down...

Friday Music - Honeymoon Suite

Invites which are NSFW.  I'll stop by later! 

Pure 80's gold!

Friday Music - The Weeknd

Madness...MADNESS!!!

It's been a weird week...

Friday Music - Utah Saints

I like this version better than the ones where the guys are screaming "Utah Saints" the entire time. 

If one song were to be the one which launched EDM culture. 

Friday Music - VIAL

 Geeked! Getting to hang backstage with them tonight! A lot of other cool bands too! 

Friday Music - Glass Animals

A memory have been wafting around my head all week.  

But it's gone.

Friday Music - Willie Nelson

If you get a reputation for something, the door never stops knocking.

Friday Music - Bishop Briggs

Unpopular (American) opinion:  I like the Olympics more than the Super Bowl

Been meaning to feature BB for awhile now. 

Friday Music - Horsegirl

I've been invited to meet up up with some friends at an EDM festival...

Sure...whatever... 

The Great 8

Eight Years.

I've been sober for eight years.  I feel pretty good about it, although this last year has been tough.  I'm not saying 'sitting outside of a liquor store trying to give myself a reason to not go in' tough, but rather I had a lot to chew on mentally and physically.

I nearly died of a kidney issue in May of last year.  I initially was blaming my drinking for damaging my kidneys, but my doctor said most health consequences from drinking are gone after the first year, and pretty much completely gone after the second.  Nope, I just got unlucky.  The lucky part was the top notch medical team who saved me. 

I then had hip replacement surgery in October.  I thought I was really young for it, but I was surprised at how many people younger than me have had one.  It made for a slow end of the year, but I'm back at it already.

Having teenagers in the house also is a delightful burst of stress energy.  I love being a parent, but every age has its challenges.

Had COVID in January, but thanks to my vaccination and booster, I was asymptomatic. 

I'm still sober.  I highly recommend it.  You have a shocking amount of extra money, everything in your life doesn't revolve around drinking, and your mind works a hell of a lot better.  You do what you want, but hopefully I never fall off the wagon.

Thanks for reading!

Friday Music - Mitski

3 muses are singing. Okay 4...

Time to get into game shape. 

Friday Music - Slim Harpo

Even though I recovered from the COVID, I was in the mood for the blues today.  

Friday Music - Let's Eat Grandma

I got the COVID!  Who wants to apply Vapor Rub to my chest!

Friday Music - GAYLE

What do you know! Friday Music on a Friday!

This has some naughty language (you've been warned).

Staying warm on cold nights. 

Friday Music on a Saturday - Bob Marley and the Wailers

The hip works!

I was busy last night, so here you go.  A message for 2022.
