  #AlternateFridayMusic Sept 25 2026 The prompt is #bleak Oh Lordy. The prompt for the Thursday game today was melancholy ... and now we've got bleak. Here's my first stab at it. Maybe all is not completely bleak. Look around Leaves are brown And the sky Is a hazy shade of winter Hang on to your hopes, my friend That's an easy thing to say But if your hopes should pass away Simply pretend That you can build them again Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles https://music.youtube.com...

  #books #ArtBooks #art #ModernArt #ChildrensBooks I was just reminded of a wonderful book I had as a child that provides an introduction to modern art. It's long out of print, but you could pick up a used copy from various booksellers. I see several copies for less than $10. I highly recommend this book to anyone with young children - or to anyone, actually. I'm linking to this listing because it has some images of the interior. I'm only familiar with this hardback version, so can&...

  @donutage@mastodon.social @reinomusic@mastodon.nl @mrowster@linernotes.club Ha. I don't know that one. What also comes to my mind because I very nearly put it on my Lifetime Playlist this a.m. is Joni Mitchell's "In France They Kiss on Main Street."

  @reinomusic@mastodon.nl Wow. Those are some pretty special memories.

  RE: https://sfba.social/@jeridansky/117299406449410531 Wow. "Away in Hawaii for a wedding, doctor Shalesh Gupta checked video footage from his Beach Road home and realized that his patio collapsed into the ocean. The waves had destroyed his seawall. The bedroom and living room fell next." And that video loop in the article is mesmerizing. I read a wonderful book "The World in a Grain" that's all about sand. There's a part discussing beach erosion and why beach &quo...

  #JukeboxFridayNight #PersonalPlaylist — songs with personal signficance. I couldn't think of anything that didn't remind me of someone who died or some other sad thing. I thought, isn't there anything happy? And then I remembered, oh, "Glad," hahaha. In high school, I participated in a skit (part of a big show) where several girls and I were supposed to be playing oysters. We wore white leotards and had long ropes of pearls, which we swung as we danced to "Glad."...

  #ThreeGoodThings 1. I got new computer glasses that are actually correct! The backstory is that I have been trying for 2.5 yrs (you read that correctly) to get a Rx that works better than my 2022 glasses. The ophthalmologist I've been seeing has given me two different incorrect Rx's. So I gave up and went to a new optometrist who is the bomb. He's super nice too, unlike the other doc. 2. It started raining lightly, but heavily enough and there are still enough leaves on the trees...

  "The Concert for Bangladesh... was a pair of benefit concerts organised by former Beatles guitarist George Harrison and the Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar... to raise international awareness of, and fund relief for refugees from East Pakistan, following the Bangladesh Liberation War-related genocide and the 1970 Bhola cyclone... The event was the first-ever benefit of such magnitude and featured a supergroup of performers that included Harrison, fellow ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan,...

  #JukeboxFridayNight #BeLikeDolly So, Dolly was shocked when she was nominated to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, and she asked to be withdrawn, saying she didn't deserve it because she wasn't a rocker. But she was voted in anyway. So what did she do? She made a rock record, "Rockstar," that was all covers of rock songs in collaboration with others. I had heard a few of these tracks before, but had not heard this one before now. It is awesome... (If you'll forgive me, it ro...

  @skullvalanche@gladtech.social Your post made me think of the Alicia Keys song 'If I Ain't Got You,' because I've always noticed how she enunciates in the line "Some just want ev-uh-ree-thing." It's not really adding a syllable, like Roxette does, but it's not the typical 3-syllable pronunciation. Aretha does the same thing in some song I've heard a lot. Anyway, that Alicia Keys song has been stuck in my head despite my going out, hearing other songs, comi...
