#SongoftheDay I Feel For You (Chaka Khan)

By
I couldn't mention Chaka Khan (as I did yesterday) and not play us some Chaka Khan.


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.

I'm also an Amazon Influencer, so hopefully I can make a little pocket change when you buy stuff by clicking through my affiliate links.

I also recommend subscribing to my newsletter. I generally e-mail subscribers with a weekly update, and I would LOVE to have you on the list.

#SongoftheDay Black Magic (Backxwash)

Well, this is a first. Today I'm featuring a song we've already listened to here on the blog.  Why?  Because Backxwash just won the coveted Polaris Prize for her remarkable album God Has Nothing To Do With This Leave Him Out Of It , and this is my favourite track. It features Ada Rook, another artist I adore.   Huge congratulations to Backxwash on a well-deserved win! Here's where you can snag a copy of her album (and you definitely should!):  https://backxwash.bandcamp.com/album/god-has-nothing-to-do-with-this-leave-him-out-of-it 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.

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

By

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 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.

#SongoftheDay Watching the Detectives (The Henry Girls)

By

Gosh, I love this song.  The original Elvis Costello version was playing on the radio (which was playing through my headphones, through my phone) as I descended into a ravine near my partner's house. There's a mulberry tree in full berry down there.  As I started picking those delicious purple fruits, the mosquitos came out of nowhere to attack. They were biting me everywhere skin was exposed (which is to say my hands and my head), but they seemed to like the flesh near my hairline the best. I started swatting without thinking--without realizing I was holding extremely ripe mulberries between my fingers. Suddenly, I could feel the juice streaming down my face. Now I was batting away the mosquitos while simultaneously trying to wipe what might appear to be blood from my head, and thinking, "Gee, I hope I don't see anyone." The mosquitos were too much. I headed for home, which was not even a five minute walk away. That's when a couple emerged from a nearby ...

#SongoftheDay Orinoco Flow (Enya)

I mentioned yesterday that I'm grieving the loss of an Irish friend, so we're listening to more Irish music today. I always liked this song, and it strikes me as a good one for mourning.

#SongoftheDay The Twilight Zone Opening

By
Image
If I'm going to mention The Twilight Zone (as I did yesterday), I should tell you this story: a couple weeks ago my partner and I were at my apartment. I've got a bunch of Twilight Zone episodes on the PVR, so I picked one to watch before bed. It was the episode where William Shatner takes advice from a napkin holder. My partner isn't interested in paranormal stuff (although I would argue that this particular episode is more psychological than paranormal) and at the end he said, "It was interesting to see William Shatner so young. I've never seen that before." I thought he was talking about the episode--he'd never seen that episode before. But no. He had never seen The Twilight Zone! Like, what? Shocking. There are a bunch of different openings for this show, but... here's one. 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 t...

#SongoftheDay St. Judy's Comet (Paul Simon)

By

My partner has been asked to speak at the memorial service for a lifelong friend who died last month. They'd known each other since they were babies. He is currently working on what he'd like to say, and he's listening to Paul Simon. The last time I walked into the kitchen, this was playing and my partner said, "I love this song." I asked what he loved about it and he said, "Lots of things. But it's about putting a child to bed. What could be better than that?"

I've got Covid

By

Hi Friends, Turns out the reason I've been so sick is that I have Covid. I tested negative two days ago, but this morning the test came back positive. I'm in a lot of pain--especially my throat and my head, at the moment--and the pain in my eyes is making it very hard to look at this screen.  So I'm going to take some time off, here, while I recover. When I can comfortably look at my screen and I have the energy to return, you know I'll be back. I am an author by profession, so at this time when I'm not able to work, I would sincerely appreciate it if you would consider buying 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.
