End your day on a happy note.
The original version of "Mah Nà Mah Nà" by Italian composer Piero Umiliani.
Christmas this year made me think of my grandparents and parents quite a bit. So now I'm smack in the middle of a music nostalgia bender.
These are some of the songs I'd hear when visiting my grandparents' house. They bring many fond memories for me, maybe they'll do the same for others around my age.
Here is "Eine Schwarzwaldfahrt" (which is so much more fun to say than A Walk in the Black Forest) by Horst Jankowski.
And a Butch Patrick Bonus song:
Dear CoSo Fam:
Wishing a merry and groovy Christmas to all.
Yesterday was metal. Today it's pre-sunrise mellowness. I always feel nice when this pops up in my randomized playlist.
Chill out to the lovely Roygbiv from Boards of Canada.

Your Xmas gift to me would be reading one of my books.
My Christmas present to you IS one of my books.
It's a "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" sort of thing.
P.S. I got laid off from my job (Corporations Xmas gift to me) and could use a few bucks.
A thought for those who'd like to support orgs that are fighting the good fight.

I never thought it would happen, but I have become the old man who yells at the television.
Literally.
Last night I saw no fewer than 5 fist-poundingly angry meat puppets declaring that TFG's fate should be decided by voters, and not by such ridiculous and trivial things as laws and courts.
And all of those people belong to the "party of law and order".
My mind. It hurts.
I've seen a few posts claiming that every single one of the six plaintiffs whose action led to TFG's disqualification were Republicans.
In the interest of accuracy:
"Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed the lawsuit in Colorado state court on behalf of four Republican voters and two unaffiliated voters..." (CBS News)
"... sued Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold in September on behalf of a group of Colorado Republican and unaffiliated voters" (Colorado Sun)
And I am curious, did you read that as "slow thrust" or "sloth rust"?

How to replace Windows with #Linux Mint on your PC https://zdnet.com/article/how-to-replace-windows-with-linux-mint-on-your-pc/ by @sjvn
It’s easy to do, and Linux Mint a lot more secure than #Windows will ever be.
Pet peeve #827:
To all tech websites on the planet, "How it Works?" is neither a sentence nor a proper question.
STOP IT
Way to go Colorado!
From Trout Fishing in America way back in 1990 (and before they pivoted to produce mostly songs for kids) the album "Truth is Stranger than Fishin'" is a timeless gem.
You only have to listen once to their cover of John Gorka's "Prom Night in Pig Town" to have them etched into your memory. "Lost in Her Lips" is also great!
But today's pick is for all of the bass players on CoSo.
Here is "The Day the Bass Players Took Over the World"
If you're into music (and especially if you create music), it's easy to lose an entire morning digging into Jacob Collier's excellent videos.
Which is what happened again today {sigh}.
And the crazy harmonies he creates starting at around 1:50 always remind me of this fascinatingly creepy version of "Close to You" from MirrorMask:
