"Even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it"

- TFG, on the sub-zero temps for Iowa's caucus

Right now the real feel temp is -2. A difference of over 60 degrees in one day.

I'm huddled in front of my computer, migrating two servers (must be done on a weekend), wearing a watch cap, sweater AND hoodie, as well half-finger insulated gloves, hoping that the power doesn't go out.

Just now this beautiful collaboration between Sleep Token and Loathe poured out through my speakers, a somber song but a beautiful rendition.

It warmed me.

Growing up in a very religious household limited my music choices when I was young. Even though my horizons naturally expanded once I approached college, there are still some songs and artists from those early times that stick in my memory.

This morning I woke up with one of those old songs echoing in my noggin.

So, not my usual share, but a good song... here's "Hero" by Steve Taylor (with a fan video that also strikes a chord)

"Oh, I'm never gonna be the same again / Now I've seen the way it's got to end / Sweet dream, sweet dream"

ELO - "Strange Magic" (Jeff Lynne) (1976, The Midnight Special)

Yeah.

That's right.

I favorited one of my own posts.

I know you can handle it.

Call it prog.
Call it concept art.
Call it post-rock.

I don't really care, because if you like music in any of these labels, this is intriguing, and definitely worthy of your consideration.

Also: I MUST find one of these masks.

Happy author grin at this review of my sf novel, (published under my former name, Wheeler) 'Ms Wheeler writes a mean spacetime story, with great action sequences' Buy it here: buff.ly/48KJD0W Read the review here: buff.ly/48lRBhf

From the "Just sending it out to the universe" department:

Similar to the trial footage we saw a few days ago, where a defendant jumped the bench to land on the judge during his trial, I'm anxiously awaiting footage of TFG finally losing it and attempting to launch himself over a table at Jack Smith.

(the key word there is 'attempting')

Yeah, it's but it's also wishful thinking.

moar bones!

I really dig trombone choirs. If you do, as well, here is a small gem to get you going today. It's "Michelin Radial" by François de Roubaix
