The Aurora Borealis in Western New Hampshire (9/14)

Sometimes you gotta think for yourself
And let all the mistakes
Fall to somebody else
I know there ain't many breaks
We can all use the help
If all I'm givin' is hate
Then I'm right back in hell

At first I thought it was a genetic freak, but, Van Eijk tulips are a Darwin Hybrid, hence "giant".

"Violators, Hate-Screamers, Nay-Sayers, Never-Healers
You Can't Sit With Us...
Online Cops, Room Freezers,
Nazi Goths, Crowd Pleasers
You Can't Sit With Us..."

"There once was a song called 'Arrest The President'..."

I don't put any faith in Rodentomancy, but, if some scud in rented Edwardian formal wear yanked me out of my happy hole on a February morning... I'm biting every motherfucker in sight 🤷🏻

"I'm the palm that forms into a fist
In the midst of the forget-me-nots..."

"All the things you covet - die
The moment that you made me pick sides
I am not the ordinary sheep, I aspire to be the shepherd
And you can follow me when I fucking rise..."

"This ain't no swan song, this is for the ugly ducklings of my country - you are not alone here..."

"Maybe you don't give a shit for the rest of us
But if you did, the time is now if it ever was..."

Figured I'd start sharing some of my favorite tracks, particularly those that help me to not give up the good fight.
I might put up one a day, or several since my DJ brain often takes the helm 🤷🏻.
Happy Listening 🖤🦇

I live in New England by choice, so I don't waste *much* time complaining about winter, but, I have definitely hit the doldrums and can't stop thinking about spring... What flowers to plant where this year, which trout streams will ice-out first.. bugs, thunderstorms, mud, petrichor. I want it all.

Io, Saturnalia!!

Last June we were selected by the Stray Cat Distribution System and blessed with this goofy, loveydovey, snoozy, and sometimes spicy Orange Tank Boy, without further adeiu... Meet Beelzebubby 🐱

I'll return pretty much any holiday oriented greeting in kind, since I'm always happy to be included, but, if it's me leading-off it will always be "Happy Holidays" and ⤵️this⤵️ is why... Feel free to yoink it!

He's a truly a sweetheart, he just has "Resting Jerkface"...

4 albums to introduce my musical tastes... Which are, at best, eclectic and all over the friggin' map. Too often DJ's get pigeonholed by the genres we spin...
