I want to take you through a wasteland I'd like to call my own...

The song carrying me into 2021. Time to fuck shit up.

Chanced upon this happening today in Cairo. It's an impressive mix of ancient meets modern ceremony. Maybe a tad' Bollywood at times... but I felt this awesome sense of self-confidence, vision, tradition and beauty of the Egyptian people. Wondered about the metaphysical ramifications of moving these ancient ones, at this time, with so much ooomph.
It made me miss AlicetheCurious and wonder what her life is like now, or how this event played out on the ground.

How Many Songs? How Many Glasses?

The crazies at Hamburg's miniature wonderland used the lockdown to create a classical music medley and quiz.
Astonishing that they spent time to built such a magnificent background for this video.
The making of the above with English subs is also on their Youtube channel. My personal favorite of their modelscapes is the airport.

Steve Earle, Ashes to Ashes

[Belligerent Savant]

.


The lyrics drew me in. Helps me relax in moments of anger (when observing the madness out there in the world, which I take care to tune out in turns).

I also keep 2 radio stations on in the background at intervals: 88.3 (NYC-area Jazz station) and 105.9 (classical music) -- both have minimal, if any, commercials (or news propaganda), which is a key reason I can keep them on.

The fog has just lifted revealing the gray
Hills that are rolling, rolling away
Bird songs invoking an echo of home
Sigma Oasis is waiting alone

So take off, take off, take off your mask
The fear's an illusion, so don't even ask
You're finally weightless, so take to the air
Sigma Oasis, you're already there

...

someone's always telling me to breathe
the wind is always whispering through the leaves

...we built a kingdom out of lies
and then we blindly fanned the fires
we warmed our hands with glowing coals
but now they rain down from the skies

rising volume muffles moans
thoughts conveyed in undertones
we built a kingdom out of lies

the moonlight dances softly on the leaves
a message in the pattern that it weaves
urges me now
It's pleading somehow
telling me to breathe

Wow, that's interesting Lola, thanks. The music gets real at 1:12.
