A Momentary Diversion on the Road to the Grave

A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying Nothing

The Chances with Wolves podcasts get me through the day. Always ripe tunes

At about the age of six or seven, I realized that of all the invisible powers the one I was destined to be most strongly affected and dominated by was music. From that moment on I had a world of my own, a sanctuary and a heaven that no one could take away from me. Oh, music! A melody occurs to you; you sing it silently, inwardly only; you steep your being in it;it takes possession of all your strength and emotions, and during the time it lives in you, it effaces all that is fortuitous, evil, coarse and sad in you; it brings the world into harmony with you, it makes burdens light and gives wings to depressed spirits.

There is geometry in the humming of strings, and music in the spacing of the spheres.

Do you know people who insist they like ‘all kinds of music’? That actually means they like no kinds of music.

Hi, kids. A coupla months back, a few of us on Tumblr hooked up from across our various time zones to make a mixtape, with everyone dropping some songs into the kitty. It worked out pretty well, and hit just shy of 200 downloads. Well, here’s the next installment to download:

Sugar In My Coffee, Pennyroyal In My Tea
