First, here’s some music to titillate your aural sense on a day in February:
Today is Valentine’s Day in the USA! My goodness. Perhaps you would like to make some crocheted amigurumi style hearts to celebrate. I found these on Instructables.com, one of my favorite websites for DIY projects. And make sure to have your fill of tasty treats today.
I’m going to be assembling a heart decoration for my front door out of sticks and copper wire later today… so I’ll have some photos of my endeavors.
Happy Day!
My online radio show’s latest installment (number 14!) is now up on the Jam Radio webpage! What are you waiting for?? Get over there!
You know when you’re really wanting to listen to some holiday music but perhaps want something a little different to mix in with the classics? Well, I just discovered the Trekky Yuletide Orchestra, a supergroup made up of bands from the Trekky record label. For the last few years, they’ve hosted Christmas at the Cradle in Carrboro, NC and I had the pleasure of attending it this week. A group of 15 people or more exploded onto the stage, swapping instruments throughout the set and keeping the audience thoroughly engaged and excited. YAY! In addition to enjoying great holiday music, I now know about the awesome bands on the Trekky label, who I’ll surely be listening to this season and into next year, like Embarassing Fruits.
Have a glass of wine, holiday punch or whiskey and enjoy this song:
“I was out of your league
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
Waiving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn’t wanna see
Down to the bottom
I wanted a junction and often there was one
You’d surface face first and we’d share our thought bubbles
And I still believe in the phrases that we breathed
But I know the distance isn’t fair to cross
I was out of your league
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
Waiving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn’t wanna see
Wanted you nearer
Your depths made a pressure
that punctured my works
and all your fluids couldn’t tolerate the force of my thirst
I love the place where we shared our tiny grace
But just because it’s real don’t mean it’s gonna work
I was out of your league
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
Waiving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn’t wanna see
Wanted you nearer
And true affection floats
True affections sinks like a stone
I never felt so close
I never felt so all alone
I was out of your league
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
Waiving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn’t wanna see
Wanted you nearer”
*It doesn’t have anything to do with the holidays, but it’s a pretty great song.
