This is a quick rundown of what is catching my interest. With the internet, it s easy to travel in time, relive different parts of my life through the music and media of that time. There are times when I feel a little confused and looking back to where I have been is a great way to adjust my flight plan. Anyone who says you can reference the past is a boring fool. Good ideas marinate well.
Music
Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral
This album fell off my radar years ago but, it still resonates with me on some level.
Bruce Springsteen: Western Stars
It’s a little corny and full of cellos, but it hits me. I tried to watch the movie on the flight back from Arizona and just couldn’t finish it. Bruce Springsteen is just so damn earnest.
Lee “Scratch” Perry: Super Ape & Return of The Super Ape
He is a master in full and a creative force.
I remember these guys from when I lived in Cincinnati. This album is their latest and I’m glad to know they’re still in the game.
This is a great love song. It is good to have love in your life.
