The week is done, I slip out of the battles of work and into a space that is mine alone.
New chores that I decide.
The music sets the tone, in the background, as I address my Hopes and Dreams with domestic production.
My first album on full play?
Everything But the Girl - Amplified Heart
Just put it on and let it play.

Radiators at Tulane in ‘85. Great energy to keep me moving. I crank it up and let it go for a couple of hours.
That changes over time for me, my taste varies. Currently I’m enjoying the album “Sonic Nurse” by Sonic Youth. It’s a late effort by this groundbreaking 90’s band so more polished, more mature, less of an aural assault in comparison to their earlier work which I also like, but relaxing they weren’t back then, “wall of sound” innovators of the no-wave movement that they were. Here’s a cut from that album, lyrics are rather dark but the sound is really beyond compare to anyone else from that era or just about any other:
Sonic Youth - “Stones”
Since I have a 5 year old grandson, our background music is a 10 hour loop of the Paw Patrol theme song.
I haven’t heard that one in a while.
All that time, I thought the name of that Kate Bush song
was “Runnin’ Up That Hill’.
Last one, I’d term this neo-pscyhedelia. Incredibly atmospheric. Australian band.
Tame Impala - “Runway, Houses, City, Clouds”
Hang on for the synth guitar near the end, my favorite part.
Odd weekend, been on Widespread Panic and Gordon Lightfoot kick.
Neil Diamond Greatest Hits

Anything by Caravan and Camel.
Original Star Wars soundtrack with some Steve Perry Journey. Loud.
I started off with my contractor compadre and myself jammin’ to Led Zeppelin’s “Mothership” album yesterday at work-today I had Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” cranked up while trimming some tree limbs-my nearest neighbor-an acre away-came to the fence and yelled for me to turn it up louder, please... I’ve set out “Santana’s Greatest Hits”, the “Best of Cream” album, and “Greatest Hits of The Cars”-a couple of Rolling Stones Albums will be added-but once it gets dark, all the music stops and I walk outside and sit on the deck, feel the breeze, smell mowed grass and livestock, listen to the frogs and herons at the river, the cicadas and the occasional coyote-life requires liking solitude, and being self-reliant out here, but it is worth all that and more to not live in a loud, crowded city where all you smell and hear are exhaust fumes and noise from traffic, sirens, etc-and your next door neighbors call the cops if you crank up the stereo after dark...
THIS WEEKEND ???....
