A Friendly Musical Visit Every Day

I got into a bit of an argument with my mother about the way she imposes her excessive frugality on other people. Like, if that's the way you want to live, go for it, but I don't appreciate the snide comments when I choose to spend my money however I do.  And I'm not talking about spending thousands of bucks on... well, anything. I'm talking about buying a handmade handbag for $45 from a local artisan.  Supporting artistic entrepreneurs is important to me because I am also an artistic entrepreneur. But, you know what? It would be important to me even if I wasn't.  But my mom's got to raise her eyebrows and tell me that she got her purse for $3 at Value Village. Well, good for you. That's your choice. I had my first job when I was 8 years old. Let me spend the money I've been working for all my life. Anyway. Sorry. I visited my mother last week, and now I'm full of mom-related rants. The "dentist" verse in this track is so funny. As someon...

When we listened to Chic's "Good Times" yesterday, perhaps you started thinking about this track. Or maybe you're listening to Rapper's Delight today and thinking there's something familiar about the undercoating.  I learned the history of Rapper's Delight from a segment on Drunk History. My brain doesn't retain a lot of information these days, but I do recall that Chic sued (or threatened to sue?) The Sugarhill Gang over their use of the bass line from Good Times to underpin Rapper's Delight. Ultimately, they settled on sharing credit (or writing credit? My brain really does not work...) for this song. Before I saw that Drunk History segment, my partner and I were washing dishes and listening to the 70s at 7 on the radio. They played Rapper's Delight and I was like, "The station must have made a mistake. This song can't be from the 70s." But, sure enough, it is. 1979, to be exact. I guess the oldies station knows a thing or...

I can't remember why it came up in conversation, but my partner asked me if I'd ever read The Lottery by Shirley Jackson . I hadn't. But I had just listened to a podcast where a fellow queer author talked about S hirley Jackson's "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" as her comfort book. It seemed a little coincidental, hearing two random mentions of Shirley Jackson in a matter of days, so I got this book out of the library. I just started reading it. It's sitting on the coffee table right now. Thing is, every time I look at the cover and see "Jackson," this song pops into my brain. Let me say, there are other Outkast songs I would MUCH rather have in my head, but this is the one I'm stuck with.  Sorry. 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  endeavou...

My partner and I have been watching a lot of major league baseball lately. This song gets played a lot when they're cutting to commercials. Years ago, my mother used to get free tickets to Jays games from her boss. He had season's tickets, but he often couldn't use them, so he'd give them away at the last minute. My mother would phone me, because I could be expected to be available on short notice, but I wasn't enthusiastic about going. I have fond childhood memories of going to Jays games back when they were played at Exhibition Stadium, but as an adult, I found baseball super boring. I will admit that my mother would sometimes bribe me with candy. Even though I was a full-grown adult at the time, the candy bribes worked.  For a while.  Then I started to find the games so boring, even candy wouldn't cut it. Now? I don't find baseball boring anymore. Not sure why. I only started watching games because my partner was watching them, and I just wanted to cu...

We've been listening to opera all week, but today we're breaking away for a parody of Cardi B's WAP. Why? Because I've been taking baths lately and it gives me time to think--too much time to think. I don't like baths. I always feel like I'm wasting time when I'm sitting there soothing my undercarriage. My body's not giving me much choice these days. My own perimenopausal pussy causes me a multitude of problems (including but not limited to a herpes outbreak, currently), and that's in addition to the hemorrhoids that are nearly ever-present nowadays. My body used to be a source of pleasure. Now it's worn and torn brings me pain and irritation. I miss my WAP. I've traded it for a DAP. That's what I was thinking about in the tub. I found myself wondering if anyone had made a parody called DAP. Sure enough...  This video is age-restricted, so you'll have to click through to Youtube in order to watch it:  https://www.youtube.com/...

I LOVE Shad and I've been obsessed with this track ever since I heard it for the first time the other day. I love this video, too. Shad's work is so full of humour and I adore his self-effacing approach. The first couple times I listened to this song I laughed until I cried, but I didn't cry because I was laughing, if you catch my drift. Anyway, enjoy. Listen to this one a hundred times.

Backxwash has a new album out called I LIE HERE BURIED WITH MY RINGS AND MY DRESSES . My plan was to listen to it this week while I had some time to myself, but my mental health decided to spiral, so I wasn't in the right place to be with it. Even though I haven't yet listened to the new release, I'm showcasing a song I picked because I like the title. Backwash's music is so raw and full of so much unapologetic pain that it's hard to predict when it'll help me and when it won't. I hope it helps you, if you're looking for help.

 Ahhh this one takes me back. I was out for a walk a few weeks ago and I strolled by an old man blasting this track on a boombox. Ever since then, the song has popped in and out of my head. Every time it pops in I think, "Oh, I'd better share this story with the music blog," but by the time I get to my computer, I've forgotten which song I was thinking of.  When it's gone I can't get it back. Finally I got to my computer before I lost it. Finally.

When I looked up Blondie's Call Me yesterday, this song was suggested.

Hold on to your horses--we're not leaving 1990 yet. Maybe you remember a show called In Living Color? My partner doesn't, but I watched it religiously. My cousin and I would dance along with the fly girls. We thought our moves were amazing. I'm pretty sure they weren't. But that's not what this story is about. There was a boy I went to school with who would sing the lyrics as, "You can do what you want to do... UNDER THE COVERS."  My friends and I were so innocent we found those words absolutely scandalous. Oh my gosh, under the covers? That is so naughty!  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.

 I dreamed about Drake again.  He wasn't coming on to me this time.  In this dream, he arrived on the porch of my partner's apartment and started cleaning a chair off for his girlfriend. His girlfriend then came inside looking for a particular kind of cleanser, and we searched for it together.  Drake told me he needed to go to the cemetery to pay his respects, but before he left we looked up into the sky (which was dark) and there were these huge kites flying. Gigantic kites. But, going back to the start of the dream, when I saw Drake approaching, I worried a bit because the playlist I was listening to was full of The Weeknd, but no Drake. I didn't know how he'd feel about that. 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.

 I woke up at 4 in the morning out of a dream where my partner and I were visiting his sister's grandchildren. For some reason, Drake was there. And Drake wanted me bad. He thought I was a totally foxy MILF.  The shameful thing is that I don't know anything about Drake except what he looks like and that he's from Toronto. I am not familiar with his music. I have no idea if he would go for Great-Aunt Giselle, and I won't put words in his mouth.

This song hit me at the perfect moment, the other day. That happens, sometimes. My partner and I were both in the living room.  He was on chat with a rep trying to resolve a problem he was having with a piece of tech.  Now, my partner is a gentle man, especially where I'm concerned, but when he has tech problems, he gets pissed.  I used to help him troubleshoot, but I won't anymore.  It's not that he gets mad at me.  He just gets angry at his computer or printer or whatever's causing the problem, and I can't handle it. It's only within the past year that I've realized (thanks to lots of therapy) that I've got some significant childhood PTSD shit going on.  One thing I've learned about this type of PTSD is that you'll often have emotional flashbacks.  So, it's not like remembering a specific event when you were unsafe due to a violent parent, for example--it's more like being triggered by something in your environment, and something inside...

 I recently cancelled my cable, so I'm waxing nostalgic about TV, these days.  When I was a kid, I loved Ninja Turtles. Raphael was my favourite. I liked the cartoon and I loved this movie. It surprised me when I pulled up the video and found that I could sing along to the first verse in its entirety. I remembered every word.

 We've been working on a cryptic crossword (cryptics are HARD!) and one of the clues mentioned 90s hip-hop. The rest of the clue turned out to be an anagram for Wu-Tang Clan.  I solved that one, and I'm still pretty proud of it.

 I'm trying to write a book, but instead I just keep watching hip hop and R&B music videos from the 90s. I can't stop myself.   This song reminds me of my partner, because he's great. He says I'm biased, but that's just because I'm in love with him.

 My partner woke up in a sexy mood this morning. He's a bashful fellow, so he would never go so far as to tell me he wants sex, but he came back from a bathroom trip with his pyjama top off, so I figured he'd either peed on it or he wanted to get close. After some particularly enthusiastic sex, he told me he'd been dreaming about Christopher Plummer.  So... Anyway... I can't stop thinking about this track--especially the line about macaroni.

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.
