My Top 5 Songs

Cool, got some motion on the charts, good songs moving through, some fresh stuff to listen to after a few months of stagnation and boredom.   Mastadon is due an album this year, I think, but I haven't paid much attention to :"Emporer of Sand".  I will have to give that a listen because the second song from it just charted, while "Show Yourself" hangs on a while longer!  There might be more good stuff on that album!  I just wasn't grabbed by it and let it fall by the wayside. Dinosoul rules, though.  Kinda makes me sad - will I ever hear from this band again?  It's a local band from in or around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Those two songs are just lush and beautiful.  The soaring chorus on "Dimension" is, to me, awesome sounding.  I have always loved songs with similar guitar effects - its as if a guitar moans, or weeps, or laughs.  Those sustained notes with that particular effect is wicked.  I love that woman's voice - i...

This is late. And this is the first time I will have typed anything in a posting since I dunno when. It is 2018.  I am doing OK. I have not had my usual seasonal affective disorder (my diagnosis), but then again I am so constantly uninspired and glum that there would be no difference, dark cloudy cold days or not. One notable thing is that unlike every holiday season since I could remember, I was not eager to get laid.  I mean, EVERY November through January, for decades, your boy was horny as a horny toad.   2016 was especially a whore fest.  Last year at this time, I had some experiences but they were not spectacular.  This year...hmm, no real desire. It's too much work to try to hook up.   Music keeps me going.  I really am enjoying listening to Dinosoul.  There are other newly found songs I have saved to youtube.  I don't make a habit of listening to music much (for months, now), hence the slow moving charts.   It ...

All right.  Time to heal.  I am trying to shake off another episode of doldrums and chronic depression.  I am coming out of it again.  I am fighting to make life tolerable again.  I am trying to learn to stay non-depressed...again. This blog just has to be the worst read for anyone.  Like I said last year or whenever, I am talking just to talk.  Writing words just to write.  If someone were to read these words, fine.  If not....fine. I am not really enjoying the summer and not having much in the way of socializing.  I work too much, and am withdrawn where I look forward to the couch and the TV more than going for out to talk to the neighbors or whatever.  It's OK. I am not happy, but just going through the motions of life lately.  AUGUST 2017 1.   "Show Yourself", by Mastodon  1, 1, 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUGda7GdZPQ 2.  "Nimble Bastard", by Incubus 3, 2, 2 https://www.youtube.com/watc...
