I love this album from Aaron Freeman aka Gene Ween. Someone posted the "English and Western Stallion" on an XTC FB group. It was a great song, so I investigated the rest of the album on YouTube. Then, I went to my local record store and special ordered it. This was quite a few years ago. Lyrically, the album speaks to me with his pain from active addiction bringing to the fore my past struggles and inability to take responsibility for my own happiness or have boundaries with manipulative people. There is also the relief of daylight that comes in recovery. I can get both my head and heart around it and appreciate both the harsh reality lived and incredible gift Mr. Freeman has to express beauty and pain. www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLtNKsksI8sQklWZT0V2zMdKsRKgk7AtG

I've been watching this as often as I can on HBO. I am currently in the midst of my third viewing. I knew there was an upcoming David Byrne event on HBO, but forgot about it in the business of daily life. I happened across it, channel surfing the night before last and it has been in the forefront of my mind since then. The staging is simple and perfect. The choreography is reminiscent of the coolest college marching band halftime shows, ever plus my favorite-nerdy dancing, like I used to do. Both introspective and observant as usual, Mr. Byrne reminds me to keep my mind, eyes and ears open.
According to my cable, this will stop running on my plain old HBO 10/31.

Watching the Georgia vote getting closer and closer down to the wire... I actually have to think this helped a bit...
teared up at the verse that starts around 21:05

I actually have to think this helped a bit... teared up at the verse that starts around 21:05 I listened to the part that started around 21:05-wow...most powerful. I definitely feel I haven't done enough, rather I haven't done anything to change things.

My son is into scores and soundtracks, too, and he has given me a couple to listen to by Cliff Martinez- The Neon Demon and Too Old To Die Young. I am finally getting around to listening to them both. Why don't I do this sooner?

Well, I listened to the rest of the recently released eels album Earth To Dora. The cover art reminded me of some of Red Skelton's clown artwork. E sounds angry, to me. There are the usual wonderful songs that I will love. Perhaps I am projecting my anger onto e's lyrics due to anger that a partner could go outside our relationship. I waited a long time to feel anger and maybe e did, too. It reminds me of Mr. Partridge's "Dear Madum Barnum" and "Your Dictionary."

So question: How do you post a vid without follow-on vids, just a stand alone vid. My YouTube settings are set to not follow on. I've only just discovered I can post videos because I use a mid priced phone. I don't get the full display unless I use desktop mode. And that's difficult on a phone. Any idea?

Someone just contacted me and said you can't. So it's all good. Stand down.
