#SongoftheDay Scream (Weaves ft. Tanya Tagaq)

By
A couple weeks ago, I was listening to a Weaves album on repeat. This EP only has 6 tracks, so after listening to it quite a few times, I just wanted more Weaves!

I consulted YouTube, and Scream was the first video that came up. It's a collaboration with Tagaq, who is one of my favourite artists. In fact, I've seen Tanya Tagaq live in concert more often than I've seen any other performer. She is always worth my time. Her stamina, I swear!

So here's a fierce track from Weaves and Tanya Tagaq. This video is mighty adorable, I must say.



If you're wondering how you can support me in bringing you songs and visits every day, the easiest thing you can do is tell your friends about the site. Tell anyone you know--particularly people who are isolated and enjoy music.

Readers of adult fiction can also buy my books or check them out from your local library. Supporting my AudioErotica endeavour on Patreon would also help me hugely!

But you don't HAVE to do any of that. I'm very happy to get a daily visit from you, so just keep coming back.

Oh, and I also recommend hitting the "Subscribe" button at the top of the page so you won't miss a song!

See you tomorrow!

#SongoftheDay 1984 (Tina Turner)

By
Image
I was watching a murder mystery the other day, and the detective found a clue in the victim's journal: it was an ancient sepia photograph of the woman when she was a child. The photograph was dated... 1984. 1984? Okay, speaking as someone who was also a child in 1984, I can tell you that none of my childhood photos are sepia-toned! I do have quite a few black-and-white pictures of my sister and myself, but that's just because my father was kind of artsy with his camera and he would sometimes buy black-and-white film. But the vast majority of photos taken in 1984 were in full colour. Definitely not sepia! I wondered how old the prop person on that TV show was, and if they thought photography in 1984 was basically the same as photography in 1884. This is a cover of a Bowie song, by the way. If you're wondering how you can support me in bringing you songs and anecdotes, the easiest thing you can do is buy my books (most are for adults only!) or check them out from your...

What is this? Where am I? What's it all about?

By
Image
All good questions. Let me explain. My name is Giselle and I'm your new best friend. Well, maybe not "best friend." A best friend usually listens in addition to talking, but that's not me. What I will do is be here every day, starting June 1 2019, to share with you whichever song pops into my head. Why?  What's the point? Well, here's the thing: I'm a writer. It's a pretty lonely job. Over the years, I've become increasingly socially isolated and you know what? It sucks. It sucks bad. The truth of the matter is that a lot of us are socially isolated, these days. And not just older people--younger ones, too.  There are "friendly visitor" programs for seniors, but those of us under 65 are kind of lost at sea. I speak from experience. Let me be your friendly visitor! If you need a no-pressure visit every day, let me be your visitor. I'll bring a song--whichever song pops into my head, gets stuck in my head, or seems relevant...

#SongoftheDay I Want A New Drug (Huey Lewis And The News)

By
Image
I brought a huge stack of CDs along to the cottage, for those stretches of highway where no radio stations come in too well. On the way home, I asked my brother what he wanted to listen to. He was like, "Huey Lewis And The News!" Perfect, because I'd had "I Want A New Drug" in my head for days. When I said so, my mom was like, " I Want To Do Drugs ? What kind of music do you listen to?" My mom is so cute. Anyway, I'm having a really bad depression+anxiety day and I DO want to do drugs, but instead I'm telling you this story and listening to music from the 80s. If you're wondering how you can support me in bringing you songs and visits every day, the easiest thing you can do is tell your friends about the site.

#SongoftheDay The Leader of the Laundromat (The Detergents)

By
Image
I've got another story about my ring flying off my finger, but this time it was in public.  The last time this happened, at least it was in the privacy of our own home. This time, it happened in the laundry room of my apartment building. My partner carried the laundry for me, because I no longer have the strength to do many household tasks on my own. Once the laundry basket was set before the washing machine, I assured him I could load it by myself, and I went to task. As I was loading the machine, a young guy came into the laundry room and started doing the same a few machines down the line. The laundry room in my building is really large and bright and welcoming--they renovated it a couple years ago, and I must say they did a great job. So, anyway, I finished loading the washer, stood up, and realized there was a whole bunch of lint all over my sweatshirt. I started brushing it off, and as I did so, my ring flew off my finger. Since I was brushing in a downward motion, it hit th...

#SongoftheDay I'm Getting Sentimental Over You (Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra)

By
Image
I've been feeling so sick the past few days that I've barely had the energy to watch TV--and that's saying something. Watching TV isn't exactly a gruelling task. But one of my meds has been making me sick to my stomach, and after days of this I am just so weak. It's times like this when I realize how much my partner does to take care of me and to take care of our surroundings when I'm unwell. I'm noticing how much he does because he's not here. He's at his house; I'm at my place. And my place is a mess because I don't have the energy to clean it properly. Now I'm realizing that usually, when I'm sick, he does the dishes, he dries them and puts them away so we don't have a kitchen full of dirty dishes. Normally when I'm sick to my stomach, he runs to the bathroom with me and holds my hair. If my hair is pulled back, he pets my head because he says he doesn't know what else to do. But clearly he does know what to do, beca...

#SongoftheDay Watermelon Man (Herbie Hancock)

By
Image
I've been meaning to tell you this story for months. I promised to tell it to you weeks ago. So here we are, finally: the watermelon story. So, I'd just finished shopping at the little grocery store near my building. I was using a walker that day. I can wedge the shopping basket between the metal bars on either side while I shop, then pile my bags on the seat to get them home. That works unless I'm carrying anything really heavy. One time my partner tried using my walker to bring home three cases (36 cans) of Ensure, and he ended up slicing open his finger. Blood everywhere. But that's not the watermelon story. I interrupted myself. Let's start again. So, I'd just finished my shopping and I was coming out of the little grocery store with my bags piled up on my walker when I noticed that there was an older woman trying to fish a watermelon out of one of those huge cardboard containers they keep watermelon in outside the store. With zero luck. She, like me,...

#SongoftheDay Chattanooga Choo Choo (The Nicholas Brothers and Dorothy Dandridge)

By
Image
 Yes, we have more tap dancing today! And a tune I absolutely adore!  Last week, one of the crosswords my partner and I worked on had the clue: The Nicholas Brothers, _____ and Harold. It drove me crazy that I didn't know the answer.  I'd posted a number on this blog featuring Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers, but I didn't know their names. The answer is: Fayard. Not a name I'd ever have guessed. Enjoy this footage from 1941. Isn't Dorothy Dandrige a looker? I love the way her dress gleams when she moves. And that voice! *swoons* If you're wondering how you can support me in bringing you songs and visits every day, the easiest thing you can do is tell your friends about the site.

#SongoftheDay Somewhere Down the Crazy River (Robbie Robertson)

By
Image
As I mentioned a few days ago, my partner and I took a trip to his hometown last week. Even though we've known each other for 20+ years, we've only been romantically involved for about 6 months. We've never gone away together. This was a first. Our plan is to move forward with our relationship pretty speedily, since we know each other well and... a midlife crisis inspires action, I'll tell you that much. At one point, we were in our hotel room. I was trying to proofread a book that (fingers crossed) should be coming out later this month. I also had my cottage radio station playing on my computer (this song is one they play every so often). My partner said, "I don't think I could listen to music all day long." Shock and horror! I DO listen to music all day long. Unless I'm watching TV, the radio is on, or I'm listening to an album or I'm working on this blog--which involves a lot of listening to music. The next day we wanted to go fo...

#SongoftheDay The Love Boat Opening and Closing

By
Image
The other day, my partner went out to visit a friend who has had multiple strokes and now resides in an assisted living facility. While my partner was out, I watched The Love Boat. Why? Because it was on. And because I remember watching it as a kid. It was pretty hard to sit through, as an adult. The laugh track, for starters. I found I kept leaving the room. When my partner got home, I asked him how his friend was doing. He said, "He was watching The Love Boat." If you're wondering how you can support me in bringing you songs and anecdotes, the easiest thing you can do is buy my books (most are for adults only!) or check them out from your local library.  Supporting my  AudioErotica  endeavour on  Patreon  would also help me hugely.
