Talk About Fucking Melancholy - 2 Weeks & a Day

Yesterday I rearranged a living that had been the same for about 20 years...
       Change what you can, accept what you cannot. Ugh.

I start my day the same as it ever was, podcasts and news. I listen to Maddow and read all the different papers to try and get the full range of angles. I mark my calendar by worldwide cases, worldwide deaths and SD cases.  Today was 894k - 4.5K - 734. I saw a breakdown by zip code yesterday, mine has 6. I guess its time to start tracking that too. 

Its scary, its bizarre, yet we always knew it would come to this.

You can't shit on the earth for so long without a proper retaliation. Scared, but not surprised.

Wednesdays are for the top 50 records of the 70's according to some obscure website.
Today I listened to #44 Deep Purple "Machine Head',  #43 Velvet Underground "Loaded", #42 Let it Be, #41 Elvis Costello, "My Aim is True" #40 Darkness on the Edge of Town, and #39 "Sticky Fingers"

Talk about fucking melancholy.. Sweet Jane, Don't Let Me Down, Allison, Promised Land & fucking Moonlight Mile... The mix tape is just making its self.

I'm Really Worried About Living

 

Many years ago, he looked out through a glassless window
All that he could see was Babylon
Beautiful green fields and dreams and learn to measure the stars
But there was a worry in his heart

He said, "How could it come to this?
I'm really worried about living
How could it come to this?
Yeah, I really want to know about this"

Is it like today? Ah, ah
Then there came a day, moved out across the Mediterranean
Came to western isles and the Greek young men
And with their silver beards they laughed at the unknown of the universe
They could sit and guess God's name

But they said, "How could it come to this?
We're really worried about living
How could it come to this?
Yeah, we really want to know about this"

Is it like today? Ah, ah
Then there followed days of kings, empires and revolution
Blood just looks the same when you open the veins
But sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone
But the furrowed brow has never left his face

He said, "How could it come to this?
We've living in a landslide
How could it come to this?
Yeah, we really want to know about this"

Is it like today? Ah, ah
Then there came a day, man packed up flew off from the planet
He went to the moon, to the moon

Now he's out in space, hey, fixing all the problems
He comes face to face with God

He says, "How could it come to this?
I'm really worried about my creation
How did it comes to this?
You're really killing me, you know"
It isn't just today? Ah, ah
Is it like today? Ah, ah
Is it like today? Ah, bang
Ooh, aah, ooh
Many years ago, he looked out through a glassless window
Didn't understand, watch what he saw

Current Feeling...

The chains are locked and tied across the door

Philly - The Best Airport Music Evah

My new coworker is from Philly, and has an accent.  I couldn't place it, cuz its not Boston, its not NY, its something else, but still, I just dig accents. 

The night I spent on the streets in Philly is in the running for the best night of my lift, Philly holds this place in my heart as a that place... when its mentioned, I go quiet and smile, get warm and hum some TSOP.

Oddly enough, the BF said something tonight about Big Lizard in my Backyard, so I threw in the old cracked cassette and we sat and listened with such warmth.  My inner running dialog is voiced by Rodney Anonymous. I was saying that when I was a kid listening to them, I assumed they were from Texas? I had no idea what Philly was, I just remember a scream of "San Antonion TEXAS"

Anywhoo, young me was wrong, as usual and I pulled up this interview, and and relized in the first sentence out of Joe Jack Talcum's mouth, sounds just like my new coworker, when he says "Ramones" :) Ah.... a Philly accent!
