Friday Night Exorcism

For the last six weeks I've had a severe earworm.   Every morning when I awaken, ground control to Major Tom is on a loop in my head.  Even after I take my protein pills and put my helmet on it doesn't cease.

So I decided to go full blast and let you share in the joy of David Bowie's Space Oddity.

May all your earworms include Major Tom.

You're welcome.






Exorcism complete!  I hope...

Friday Night ~ Music Riot

A few quiet tunes to accompany the riot/revolution.  Hands up, don't shoot me, it's only music...

First up there's your White Riot ~ The Clash (this one's for lewy)



Next a bit of a riot from Down Under, Beds Are Burning ~ Midnight Oil



Nothing says "RIOT" like a heavy metal hair band.  We're Not Gonna Take It ~ Twisted Sister



Finally, the French had a riot once and this song was the best thing to come out of it.  La Marseillaise ~ Roberto Alagna

Friday Night Blues

Kicking back with a large scotch after an awful week of travelling to the end of the word and back...I am so sick of being on a plane.  Home now (as far as I know) until mid August.  Love this music.  Enjoy!

Friday Night Bread and Music

The last three weeks have spurred two new passions for me. The first is home made bread. Artisan, 7 Grain whole wheat and Sourdough sandwich loaves so far! The Artisan was great, crunchy and chewy, the 7 grain were a little less successful(didn't rise as much as I hoped) The Sourdough (home made starter) were a great success also, dense, sour and crusty! Herewith, the Artisan.

 

The second passion is Paolo Nutini. Can't believe I never knew about this guy before. It took me a while to figure out why he sounds so different and unique. Then I realised he sings with a Scottish accent! Yes, Paolo Nutini is Scottish. Strange and wonderful. And oh so easy on the eyes ladies :)

Double Trouble

Happy Friday everyone! How about a glass of something soothing and mellow, and some Austin City Limits?

 

 I love Stevie Ray. *contented sigh*

Friday Night (Country) Music

The Highwaymen


Johnny Cash and Kris K (Be still my heart!)
Sunday Morning Coming Down


Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard
Pancho and Lefty


Patsy (oh how I love you) Cline
