Music recs! Get ‘em while they’re hot!

RE SoCal: there are zero ICU beds available and La Scala Beverly Hills is pulling this bullshittery. I wonder what Gov. Newsome &/or Mayor Friedman &/or the LA County Board of Supervisors think about this.

Lovely work! What’s the colour name? It looks like what I want in my guest room & hallway.

(((HUGS))) to you JackRabbit. Imagine “no one died on my floor in the 12 hours I was there” becoming a remarkable event. I hope this shit is over right quick, though I suspect we’re in for at least another 6-8 week of surging #s.

Mission: Impossiblerest - Yeah, We’re Tapped Out.

Thanks!  And it even has a meet cute!

I’m so looking forward to spending way too much $$ on live shows and not regretting it in the least. Small clubs, MSG-sized arenas, festivals. The lot of ’em!

Thanks for the rec! I need to give it a look.

From what I recall it was a good show. For a part of it I was distracted because a friend (he was also playing the club that night, in the ‘close it down’ 1pm slot) pointed out that international football superstar Pelé was hanging out in the back bar.

I’ll have to look for it. And your taste in music can’t be that bad.

So true. And the feelings encountered as we grieve are fleeting and repeated. I cannot stand how the emotions we go through after a loss have long been called “stages” or “steps” which implies finishing one and moving onto the next, all the while striving for completion. Grief is never complete. I refer to these…

Big hugs to you as well. Your cape simile is lovely.

I generally dislike Christmas Carols (rather, I can’t stand them when they’re “pop-ified”).  These three tunes are entirely not such.  Thanks for the recs.

Starred; I hope it brings you out of the greys.  Welcome back to SNS!

Since sometime in the late 70s/early 80s Jett has lived (or maintained a home) in Long Beach, NY. In the 80s I would hang out there from time to time. I recall seeing her just being Joan, resident of LB. I can 100% understand how she would bring you to such a realisation.

So, two of this year’s Grammy Noms for Best Rock Album are two of my favourite new(-ish) artists: Fontaines D.C. (for A Hero’s Death) and Michael Kiwanuka (for Kiwanuka, which won this year’s Mercury Prize. If you haven’t got to them yet, skip over all the rest and give ’em each a try. There’s another band I thought…

Way back in the mid 90s I saw Joan Osbourne, just as she was starting to chart, in this tiny club out on the East End of Long Island. Ruby Waters reminds me of Osbourne at that time.  Thanks for the rec!

Hugs to you; So sorry you’re going through all this crap.
