#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?"


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.

#SongoftheDay Riptide (Vance Joy)

By
Image
 Last week, my partner was talking about the movie Midnight Cowboy , which I'd never seen. I laughed because I've been watching Futurama on DVD lately, and the film is spoofed briefly in one episode. I never got the reference until my partner described Midnight Cowboy to me. Ever since, I've had this song--Riptide--in my head, just floating around back there, not demanding terribly much attention.  This morning, I recited some of the lyrics to my partner and said, "Do you think he's talking about Midnight Cowboy ?" My partner had, unsurprisingly, never heard Riptide. I honestly don't know where he's been for the past 40 years, because he doesn't seem to be familiar with any music that was created after 1979. Anyway, I played my partner the lyric video (he was particularly amused by the line "I want to be your left hand man"), and when it mentioned the "movie that I think you'd like," he said that did sound like Midnight Cow...

#SongoftheDay The Middle (Jimmy Eat World)

By

We're moving next week. We're not happy about the move, but it's happening nonetheless. I'm going to miss this little house. I know how fortunate I am to live indoors at all, but the past three years have been the only time in my entire adult life when I've been able to live in a house, and going back to living in a high rise isn't something I'm enthusiastic about. The house and town (despite being very small--both the house and the town) are way too expensive to live in. Plus, there's the lack of access to medical care and public transportation.  So we're moving. I'm really sad. And stressed. And busy with all the packing. And my health is poor, as usual. Ill health makes sadness and stress even harder to cope with. That's the big reason I haven't been around. It occurs to me that the last time this blog went on a big hiatus was the last time we moved. It really does consume your life and energy. This song has been in my head every day f...

#SongoftheDay Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers Theme Song (Jeff Pescetto)

By
Image
I had to stop myself from singing this theme song to my partner in bed the other night--not to serenade him, only because it was stuck in my head. I thought I might be able to remember all the words, but no. In preparing this post, I discovered that Tress MacNeille did the voices of Chip and Gadget on the show. Simpsons fans (and fans of animation, generally) will know the name.

#SongoftheDay Improvisation in Cm (Indiara Sfair & Arthur Sowinski)

By

 I'm sitting on my bed trying to edit a monster of a book (it needs A LOT of work!) and outside my window what do I hear? Harmonica. Somebody practices the harmonica around this time every afternoon (it's 3:30 as I write this post) and you know what? They're pretty darn good.  Not this good.  Not yet.  But getting better every day. 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.

#SongoftheDay Back To Life (Soul II Soul)

By
Image
A grocery flyer came through my mail slot today. Across the top, it said: BACK TO ROUTINE. As soon as I read that, this song jumped into my head. I've been listening to it ever since. Over the holidays, visitors to this site dropped drastically. It worried me, I must admit. But the moment this BACK TO ROUTINE grocery flyer entered my apartment, visitors magically returned to the blog. What a relief. I guess we're all settling back into our usual routines--whether that means buying bananas or paying daily visits to a certain music blog. If you've been away, I'm pleased to welcome you back.  Thanks for coming. I genuinely enjoy producing these little posts for you each and every day.  I hope you'll continue to return all year long.

#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 Nights in White Satin (The Moody Blues)

By
Image
I bet there are people who create blogs because they want to show the world how smart they are. Not me! Every day I discover I'm even stupider than I thought I was. It's a wild adventure. So, today, for example, I learned that this song is called Nights in White Satin.  My entire life, I thought it was Knights in White Satin.  I thought it was a song about knights... in white satin. They're knights. They wear satin instead of armour. This is a song about them. I am not joking. I've held that belief since childhood, and I never thought to challenge it until today, when my parter and I were discussing the song. Still an evocative track, even if it's not about jousting. 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.

#SongoftheDay Day After Day (Badfinger)

By
Image
I'll be honest with you: I didn't know Badfinger was a band until I googled musicians from Wales. I was familiar with this song, but I never knew who it was by. Now I actually understand the joke that mentions them in the Rifftrax riff of Psycho II (yes, that's an actual movie).  (edit: the riff I was thinking of is actually from Amityville 4, which is another lousy sequel.)   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.

#SongoftheDay Can't Take My Eyes Off You (Boys Town Gang)

By
Image
My partner usually gets out of bed before I do. If we ran the dishwasher the night before, the first thing he does is quietly unload the clean dishes and put them away. When I get up, if I notice that he's done this (big IF, there...), I thank him. He's always perplexed by the thank you. He's like... of course I unloaded the dishwasher. Why wouldn't I? I see all these tweets from women's whose husbands call or text them to say "I unloaded the dishwasher" like they're expecting a doggie treat in return, and I realize how lucky I am. My partner isn't even of my generation (he's older than me) and he does practically everything around the house. He reasons that it's his house, so why would he expect me to clean it? Well, I spend the vast majority of my time at his house--that's why. The only tasks that have really become MINE are washing the dishes (he dries) and cleaning the bathrooms (he cleans the entire rest of the house). And...

#SongoftheDay Heaven is a Place on Earth (Belinda Carlisle)

By
Image
Here to satisfy your need for nostalgic 80s music videos, we have Belinda Carlisle. I always thought she was Australian because an Australian girl I grew up with really liked her. Or maybe her mother was named Belinda. I don't remember. Anyway, Belinda Carlisle isn't Australian, based on my cursory glance at a Google search. But this song sure takes me back. Just popped into my head this morning while I was quietly fulfilling my 50s housewife fetish by wearing an apron and baking banana bread for my partner. He doesn't share my kinks, so I just play by myself. He's got no idea what's going on. 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.
