#SongoftheDay Back to the Future Theme (The Outatime Orchestra)

By
My partner and I watched Back to the Future recently. He'd never seen it before. We got a DVD box set out from the library and I said to him, "Oh, this set has all three movies in it." He came home from the library the day after we'd watched the first one and told me, "I was about to return this when I realized all three movies are in here." I was so proud of myself for not saying, "Yeah, I told you that! Don't you ever listen to me?" heh. Life goes more smoothly when I don't lash out about things that really do not matter.


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 Tell Me Something Good (Rufus & Chaka Khan)

By

It's easy to get addicted to the news, these days. The world is a 24/7 train wreck. How can we look away? My mother's basically been self-isolating since January. Well, not really, but she had her surgery, she was in hospital for weeks, then when she got out she couldn't leave the house, and by the time she'd recovered enough to be out and about, she wasn't allowed to.  Her immune system is severely compromised. She is very much at risk. Thank goodness my brother lives with her.  She also has lots of friends and sisters who are more than willing to drop groceries at her door. I didn't mean to write so much about my mom.  I only mentioned her to say that she tells me she often turns on the news first thing in the morning, and suddenly it's afternoon.  All she's done in that time is watch the news. There's not much good in those reports. I don't know if there should be. I don't know if goodness seems trite, when so many people are dying. ...

#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 Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade (Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Elim Chan)

By
Image
This weekend, I took a much-needed day off from hospital duty to go to the symphony. I've never seen the place so packed, but it was no surprise, with a double-bill like Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto and Scheherazade. Elim Chan did a powerhouse job. I couldn't believe my luck when I found this video of her conducting Scheherazade on YouTube. Witness the journey! This concert was an experience, I tell you. The tickets were my belated Christmas gift to my parter (and also his Valentine's Day gift, because I haven't been terribly organized lately...) and he went on and on about how much he enjoyed the performance. It feels good to give a gift the other person genuinely loves. Even better when I get to share in it!

#SongoftheDay Born to be Cheap (Divine)

By
Image
I needed new pyjamas, so, naturally, I went to the supermarket. They sell clothes for cheap. I am nothing if not cheap. Whenever people buy me pyjamas (and by "people" I mean my mother, because she is the only person who buys me pyjamas), they buy me flannel pyjamas. As a permimenopausal person, let me tell you, flannel does not work. Even when I sleep naked, I wake up drenched in sweat. So I needed to find something I could sleep in that wasn't hot, and what I found (at the supermarket) were these adorable soft fluttery little shorts. And they were made of a printed fabric. And that print was of sea flora, tridents, and purple Ursula heads.  Ursula, from The Little Mermaid. Since I loved Disney villains as a kid AND they were on the clearance rack, I bought them and paired them with a tank top I got for $3. The reason we're listening to Divine is that, in case you weren't aware, the character of Ursula in The Little Mermaid was modelled on Divine. Now I...

#SongoftheDay Pepto Bismol Commercial Remix (Chosakken)

By

My partner has a love-hate relationship with this song. Every time the commercial comes on, he notes that it's remarkably well-done, but since when do people grab their butts and sing about diarrhea onscreen? 1989, I guess? That's when the movie Parenthood came out.  I am delighted that there's a remix so that I can share this tune with you AND take up more than 16 seconds of your time. This remix is my everything.

#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 Does Your Chewing Gum Lose its Flavour On the Bedpost Overnight? (Lonnie Donegan)

By
Image
We've been listening to some pretty heavy songs the past few days. We need a break. This is a song my father used to sing to me, as a child. Inspired by it, I stuck a piece of bright blue bubble gum to my bedpost (I wanted to find out for myself the answer to the question this song poses), but I got in trouble when my mother, who apparently was not familiar with the song, spotted my bedpost gum. So I still don't know the answer. A question for the ages...

#SongoftheDay Keep the Streets Empty for Me (Fever Ray)

By

When I was looking up the song "Fever" to use in yesterday's post, I came across this prescient track, whose title could not be more suitable for these pandemic times.  I thought wow, someone must have written that and got it up real quick, but nope. This song came out over a decade ago. 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 Miss You Like Crazy (Natalie Cole)

By
Image
Although we have separate residences, my partner and I spend most of our time together--either both of us at his house or both of us at my apartment. It's increasingly rare that we spend time away from one another, and when we do, I am astounded by how much I miss him. Right away!  The reason this amazes me is that I lived alone for 20 years.  I used to be used to being alone. Now I'm not. And I get so instantly lonely that I worry I don't have the emotional resilience (or whatever) to take care of myself. Emotionally. And resiliently. Or something. Was I stronger on my own? I mean... no. I was never not depressed throughout those two decades of living by myself. My mental health was significantly worse back then. I don't love being lonely when my partner's not around, and I'm not saying I'm a mentally healthy person (I'm definitely not), but... But what? I don't know. I don't think I know what kind of point I'm trying to make. I just miss my...

#SongoftheDay John Rutter's Sing A Song Of Sixpence (Gita Swara Nassa Youth Choir)

By
Image
 For the past hour, I've been mired in nostalgia.  Lately, I've been thinking about the fairy tale books I had when I was a child. These books were mostly from the 70s, so I remember the colour schemes as being primarily orange and brown--the colours of the 70s. The thing is, I can't trust my memory. There's a book that exists in my head, but I can't seem to find any evidence of it in the real world. If it weren't for Covid, I would go to my mother's house and dig through her basement. She never throws things away, so if that book existed, she probably still has it. The song we're listening to is a gorgeous setting of a rhyme featured in one of the fairy tale books I had, as a kid.   The Real Mother Goose was originally published in 1916, and the witch on the cover scared me. I guess she was supposed to be Mother Goose, but I saw her as a witch. I also had Dean's Mother Goose Book of Rhymes , as well as Dean's A Book of Fairy Tales , which scare...
