The day after Thanksgiving and what started out as a chilling kind of day, turned into a rather busy one, not by choice really…good stuff though and I really can’t complain, did somebody right, ya know? In other news, I don’t care what you think you know, this world is fucked and it won’t be recognizable in 50 years, but for right now, let’s enjoy this sentiment…”everybody needs a bosom for a pillow”…this song and vid, make me feel good, and sometimes that’s all I ask of a song, wish life was that simple…
Now it’s the day after the day after Thanksgiving (Saturday) and I’m feeling like the long weekend is going to the wayside at an extremely rapid rate. In fact it’s now almost midnight and all we’ve got left is Sunday, which is looking to be a snow day. Not a lot of music on my plate today, the circumstances weren’t ripe for it, but here I am now and it’s all rushing in at once at almost a headache’s pace. Here’s one that’s been on my playlist since ’89 when the Peel Sessions came out thanx to Ron Kuka and Bob Kasitz, who were my go to guys back then for hard fast music. Don’t know what lyrics are at the beginning, except “Jesus saves you from yourself”, but I did find the rest of them as I never knew for sure what he was saying. This is where I could unleash some of my Philosophy and Religious Studies bachelor degrees on ya, but I will say these lyrics speak the simple truth. On the other hand I think spirituality is very important to what makes us sentient beings in an almost infinite cosmos. I don’t care what you think (again), but there is force (or Power) greater than ourselves (to borrow from Bill W.), use your imagination, because all you (we) are is just a blip on a blip on a blip
Religion is a brain-wash-con
-Secularity must become-
Dividing people & causing conflict
-Secularity must become-
Total hypocracy, for money & power
-Secularity must become-
Indoctrination in all our schools.
-Secularity must become-
Took a break form the tunes to watch the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp (cute and entertaining), a couple of tunes were good in the flick (Ant Invasion was in the trailer but not the actual movie)…
Here it is Sunday (it was a snow day) night and after doing chores, all I’ve accomplished besides the happiness of our many pets, is this GIF I made. Was looking for something reminiscent of this character who went and got himself killed by those folks on the island in India (yeah, you know, Indians…right), but for some reason this scene from Apocalypto popped into my head…
My bro Shawn (and I agree wholeheartedly)…”I dig these dudes, strangely satisfying like stirring a too thick milkshake”…brilliant fucking cover
…and this live version of the original is pretty neat-o too…
Continuing the trend lately of being unclear where this came from, but…fuck a racist, fuck a nazi, fuck a fascist, there’s no room for irrational hatred and blind nationalism, not even in my worst dystopia. Unfortunately, the way this god damned thing we call life works, is a person has no say as to what kind of wrapping paper (projected image?) their soul is wrapped in. Like little souls falling from the sky and just landing where they land, you get what you get, and you have to make the best of it. There’s plenty of other reasons to dislike a fella besides something he has no control over. Again, no brainer, but then again, maybe it’s just that, no fucking brains…tools, to be used. I’d say people are sheep, but at least sheep provide wool, what do you (we) have to offer.
Was watching Walking Dead tonight, I’ve seen every episode and was a reader of the comic until the comic book store closed, and couldn’t get over how it’s just turned into a soap opera with occasional action and gore…maybe it always has been and after 9 seasons I finally figured it out…oh well. Made me think of this tune…
It’s Monday tomorrow but that doesn’t mean we can’t dance this mess around…fuckin’ epic live version of this song, proving that these guys and gal weren’t just a studio thing, they rocked it way back in the day…
2020 is going to be interesting as far as which direction this country heads, that is if we survive the next two years. Some people think things are going good, but all I see is gluttony. Could go on and on about that, and do not fear, we will when the time is ripe, but it’s 1130 on a wonderful work night. Mustard must get some sleep. Must leave you with this thought though…when we talk about bearing children, does it have to be literal of could it mean something else, like reaping a harvest, actions have results…is our leader the child who is the result of our own actions (I’m not good at getting deep)? Anyway this vid was the year after I saw them, but the energy is the same, in-fucking-tense…
Come hear the moon is calling,
The witching hour draws near,
Come hear the bell is tolling,
Mortals run in fear,
Prepare the altar now and hear the virgin cry,
Hold fast the sacrifice,
For now it’s the time to die,
All hell breaks loose,
Hell’s breaking loose.
Unveil the pentagram,
And feel the demons lust,
Come watch the holy men,
Who look on in disgust,
Come taste blood,
And feel the heat of Satan’s breath,
Look in the sky’s and see,
The warriors of death,
All hell breaks loose,
Hell’s breaking loose,
Witching hour.
Our work is now complete,
The blood runs fast and free,
And Satan takes his bride,
And cry’s of blasphemy,
All hell rejoices at the child,
That she will bear,
And Satans only son,
Shall be the worlds despair,
All hell breaks loose,
Hell’s breaking loose,
Witching hour.
Proto-selfie of the Moms and myself in front of a building that I don’t remember. My buddies and I back in the mid-80s were taking these with the disposables. I do remember asking her to take this pic and she was like yeah whatever, typical Mom with a silly teenager…haahahah
Mom was so proud to have Liam come into the world, they had a special bond right up to the end. This is at her house in Burbank (I lived there for my three years of high school)…
Homemade GIF of me at that meeting I was telling y’all about not too long ago…totally me. Brian, haven’t had a chance to do the standing up thing, you were suggesting, but I’m ready and waiting…hahahahah.
Well another true Mustard Relic (although he never comments, just giving you a hard time bud), my long time virtual buddy, Björn sent me this rather nice collection of a Swedish writer type guy (novelist, playwright, poet) I had never heard of, 
With all the lunacy in the world today (as Yoda might say, “a disturbance in the force there is”..art by 
The whole 3 minute vid is well worth
