And this from this year:

I love the original Black Sabbath, but I might actually love Dio-era Sabbath more. I was fortunate to see them live in 2007 (when they reformed as Heaven & Hell). Dio is just...to borrow from Henry Rollins, so fucking righteous!


Gravdigr 07-13-2014 01:22 PM

RJDio's b-day was July 10th.

elSicomoro 07-13-2014 01:54 PM

He would have been 72 this year. He was 65 when I saw him, and he was just wailing away. He could sing as high as he used to, but he was still fuckin' Dio! \m/

We may have a bit of tension here today...let's soothe that, shall we?


Undertoad 07-15-2014 09:26 PM

awwww yeeeeahhhh

elSicomoro 07-16-2014 11:05 AM

Tame Impala is one of the few newer bands I'm into...Kevin Parker is really talented.

Gravdigr 07-16-2014 03:52 PM


monster 07-18-2014 07:30 PM

this is doing a number on me :/



And apparently the older teens at Water polo and the younger teens at swimming.

monster 07-18-2014 07:34 PM

on the plus side, it's knocked Rude outta there and maybe it'll depose it in the billboard charts too

monster 07-18-2014 07:36 PM

but it's a weird song to have whirling round

monster 07-18-2014 10:47 PM

haha --was trying to check lyrics for hidden obscenities before adding to warm-up playlist for swim meet tomorrow ...found one chick's homemade video with lyrics. Apparently she's going to Swim from the chandelier. maybe we should try that. We are Flying Fish after all..... :lol:

Gravdigr 07-21-2014 05:34 PM

I can tell this is gonna be stuck for a while.

Yeah, that's the last thing I needed to hear after seeing LolaBunny With The Long Dark Hair.:jig:

elSicomoro 07-25-2014 04:00 PM

Uncle Moz's newer albums have been...just awesome:


orthodoc 07-26-2014 02:57 AM

Love the way you lie (with Eminem) ...
Kid Fears, Indigo Girls;Secure Yourself, ditto.
Shoot the Moon, Norah Jones.
Come Away With Me,ditto.

Nothing else for tonight.

DanaC 07-26-2014 08:53 AM

This is on an advert that's been playing a lot lately. It is now firmly stuck in my noggin.


infinite monkey 07-26-2014 09:32 PM

Can't get this song out of my head. I don't feel alone. It's not that. I'm sure I've posted it before, but it's an earworm extraordinaire! I guess I'm just missing my mom.


elSicomoro 07-26-2014 10:06 PM

The song that took down a Biz Markie album

DanaC 07-27-2014 02:44 AM

hey Inf! Nice to see you m'dear.

I can see how that one got stuck in your head.

infinite monkey 07-27-2014 08:00 AM

Hi Dana! :)

Day 3, and I still can't get it out of my head. And I can't get the lyrics straight when I'm singing it in my head (or in my car.) I've tried listening to other stuff.

I think it's some sort of schizophrenic tendency. They'll find me in a corner tracing the lines in coloring books and mumbling 'alone again, naturally.' ;)

monster 07-27-2014 08:24 PM

That annoying Iggy Azaliea on someone else's One Less Problem Without You. grrrr. not even going near youtube to post a link in case it worsens the effect......

elSicomoro 07-27-2014 10:07 PM

I heard her for the first time ever the other day...I'm still saddened by it.

infinite monkey 07-27-2014 10:20 PM

re: alone again, naturally...

Because here's the thing. My dad is the one with the heart so very broken...but he's so strong and brave. He amazes me. My older brother and I were over there weeding the gardens my mom used to tend. It was a lovely time. My dad keeps busy. He's so healthy at 75 years old. He has friends, he works on his land he owns, he golfs, he takes care of the house and himself. My mom would be so proud. He tends her grave every week, and I can barely bring myself to go there...because 'she' isn't there, to me. And cause it makes me cry so hard. She's here, for sure. I dream about her and I talk to her. I miss her so much. If life is just energy, at the very least, her energy is sustaining me.

So, thanks for listening. This is how I feel. This is what I know.

sexobon 07-27-2014 11:35 PM

You're welcome.

And now for something completely different ...


infinite monkey 07-27-2014 11:41 PM

Oh, sexobon! That is a movie my dad loves. And that could be an earworm that gets me over the sad one. lmao! Thanks!

I wish I could offer more than a virtual hug.

infinite monkey 07-29-2014 08:58 AM

Thank you, jim.

DanaC 07-29-2014 01:00 PM

Yeah - virtual hug from me too, hon: *hug*

infinite monkey 07-29-2014 05:56 PM

Thanks dear Dana.


Amazing how acknowledgment from people I like helps.

I was Ms Vodka that night but it was good to 'say' it out loud.

Luvz ya both!

BigV 08-02-2014 01:55 PM

SonofV and I were seated next to each other on all four flights this last trip and on the last one, we were both listening to my iPod shuffle, no display, and this song came on. We laughed out loud and began singing along, including the hand gestures for the choruses. I'm sure we got some stares, but we surely had some fun!


orthodoc 08-04-2014 01:34 AM

Late at night, I listen to Katie Segal sing 'Bird on the Wire'. Her voice is so beautiful. I can listen to it sung by Leonard Cohen as well, but I love Katie's voice.

My father lives with us; he's 80 turning 81; he's frail physically, although he's pretty good mentally. There are so many complications with my spouse, it isn't worth parsing them out. Just: lots of complications.

Nevertheless, I have so many good memories with my dad, memories of figuring out how to master a recalcitrant outboard motor on a small dinghy; memories of landing a fish slightly bigger and feistier than anything in previous experience; memories of squelching the recoil and cleaning my catch with a steady hand.

I took care of my mother-in-law for so many years, and I took so much abuse from her ... it happens, I get it. My husband refers to it and feels that his tolerance of my father makes up for it. But my father, a Brit to whom courtesy and manners are sacrosanct, has never offered my spouse any sort of insult, certainly nothing close to what my mil felt entitled to loose upon me.

I'm still here, for a time. I waver between staying up late and savoring every moment, and going to bed early to try to be as healthy as possible. I lean toward the former. I want to savor every moment here, and embrace whatever comes next.

BigV 08-04-2014 06:56 AM

health first, though your company is lovely, health first. your physical and mental health is paramount. but if your mental health benefits from some time here, well, then, win-win.

please take care.

orthodoc 08-10-2014 11:10 PM

Thank you, V. I'm listening to Katie Segal again tonight, but heading outside in a moment to take in the August 'supermoon' before bed. I wish I had more to contribute here.

I enjoy every moment with my father. Everyone in my family is away, and I have four days of his uninterrupted company to look forward to. His life has been a typical 'span 20th-C life' - so full of history, memories, family stories. It promises to be a good week. I can't ask for more.

sexobon 08-11-2014 04:36 PM


orthodoc 08-12-2014 11:37 PM

Perfect, sexobon. Thank you.

lumberjim 08-15-2014 08:41 AM



the friggin mercenary posted this on bookface yesterday.

this morning, I woke with it in my ear

that clown has some pipes

Clodfobble 08-15-2014 05:03 PM

Here, maybe this will help:


lumberjim 08-15-2014 05:13 PM

That might just work

If it doesn't, then you should take Weird Al's advice and have a nice cuppa herbal tea.

Really.

That's creepy as fuck. Pennywise can suck it.

From the info for that clown singing the Lorde song:

Quote:

For the uninitiated: Puddles is a seven foot tall sad clown with a voice like Tom Jones.
Close, but, no Tom Jones.

Big Sarge 08-25-2014 06:25 PM

Arghhhh. I can't get this tune out of my head


Big Sarge 08-26-2014 08:25 AM

I woke up humming to this tune. Did any of you ever see them in concert?


monster 08-26-2014 09:42 PM

No. :cry: but that bastard was stuck in my head a couple of weeks ago after they played it at the boys' water polo tournament. unthanks for the reminder! ;)

Big Sarge 08-28-2014 10:45 AM

well, i'm stuck humming another song. does anyone else like this? allegedly, john wayne said when he died to have nancy sinatra dance on his grave. if that didn't make him rise, nothing would.


lumberjim 09-06-2014 02:11 PM


brandon4117 09-11-2014 09:19 PM

Started listening to Aphex Twin the other day, and came across this song.
Stuck in my head for hours and has yet to cease.

I read that this is Lorde's favorite cover of her song.

lumberjim 09-23-2014 10:44 PM

Should be. It's better than hers.

Gravdigr 09-24-2014 09:10 AM

Puddles' version is ok...

...but, he ain't nearly as much fun to look at.

lumberjim 09-26-2014 01:33 PM

I've only ever seen Lorde on the nirvana Induction to the rock and roll hall of fame. Not a hottie.

Edit: just Google Image searched her. She cleans up nice. I think she's a witch, though

She is smokin' in the 'Royals' video. Other times she does look rather witchy. Sometimes she looks just plain GAH!!


ETA: Lorde was on some award show a couple years ago, and she looked positively heinous. She sang 'Royals', and her dancing looked like she was being electrocuted.

monster 09-26-2014 06:50 PM

Not even going to post a link the the motherfukinannoyin piece of shit that was stuck in my head today. Taylor Swift. need I say more? :vomit:

cos the monster's gonna puke puke puke.......

lumberjim 09-26-2014 09:57 PM

At my work, I dont have to have them stuck in my mind, as they play the same 13 songs 6 times a day.
The average time spent buying a car is 3.5 hrs. 3 of those are spent inside the showroom. Many customers comment on the music I have playing in my office, mostly in relief that it is anything other than what is on out there.

All about that bass, about that bass.... 'bout that bass.... Repeat....

monster 09-26-2014 10:57 PM

At least you can work out to that....

I feel your pain. When radio stations decide to play British music from the 80s I have horrible flashbacks to working in clothing stores. I keep expecting the "DJ" to say "great news, ladies, did you know it takes more calories to eat a stick of celery than there are in it?". Yup, eight times a day..... Thankfully only one day a week during the school year.
